Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

Noah was too tired, but he didn't want to stay in this dungeon any longer. He wiped his face and said, "Let's go."

"Don't you want to rest for a while?" Shane was also surprised by the outburst.

"I want to!" Noah exclaimed and covered his face while wailing at the same time, "Why is this world so hard?! How am I going to survive?"

Shane was really amazed after seeing how realistic this human was! It almost felt as if Noah was really there. He sighed and said, "Take a healing potion."

Noah drank it while sitting on the staircase silently for a while, staring at the tentacles blankly. Then he chuckled and said, "You know, I never killed even a single mosquito when I was still alive. I was a spoiled brat who always needed his mum's help."

"After coming here I realized what it means to be alone. If you're left alone in a world like this, you'd never be able to survive."

Shane was silent at those words. He knew how his host might be feeling because, not too long ago, even he was in the same situation. Now, he had managed to survive solely by depending on himself.

When there wasn't anyone behind a person, they would either outgrow themselves or fall deeper into depression. This was a critical point for Noah, but Shane couldn't speak any comforting words since he knew it would be useless no matter what he said.

Then he heard his host's laugh all of a sudden, "Why am I asking you this? You might be doing the world's best job. You only have to sit behind a desk and order me around."

"Who said that?" Shane shook his head and sat inside the blank space of Noah's astral body, "I might just be doing the hardest job ever. You never know."

"Why should I believe you?" Noah snorted, "Let's get going. I want to be out as soon as possible."

"Sure thing," Shane didn't try to persuade his host to rest for a while. He also opened the radar and stared at it without blinking.

Soon, they reached the next floor. This was the last one before they could encounter the boss. Only one more to go. Shane said, "Be careful. This might be the hardest one among the two we have already faced."

Noah nodded and stepped forward, standing at the entrance for a while. Just as he glanced ahead, he saw a group of mannequins standing in front of him. None of them had eyes, nose, mouths, or ears, and they seemed to be mannequins.

But that wasn't the worst of all aspects—

"Why are there so many in number?" Noah exclaimed as he stared at the scene in front of him with widened eyes, "Hey system, can you tell me how powerful they are?"

Shane glanced at the radar only to see zero levels written beneath the reddish white dots. It could only mean one thing: they were at a similar level as him.

It would have been fine if there was only one mannequin, but dealing with so many of them at the same time was even hard for Shane. He frowned after thinking of this.

"Not so powerful, but they are too many in number. I can't even count."

"All I can see are mannequins as far as my eyesight can travel," Noah gulped, "I almost don't want to go ahead."

'Do you think I enjoy these situations?' Shane thought sarcastically, but he didn't say those words.

"What should we do?" Noah finally asked as he stared at the scene in front of his eyes.

"Take the most powerful sword you possess and get ready. Once you step out, you have to fight and rush toward the North East direction. There's an exit there."

The host nodded as he took out a katana he had purchased earlier. Its stats weren't awesome, but it was enough for him at the moment.

[Name: Low-grade katana

Level: 2

CE use: 0

Attribute: physical strength

Strength: 15

Attack: 11

Physical Resistance: 12

CE Resistance: 0

Luck: 2]

He gripped it firmly with his fingers. After taking deep breaths, he walked forward and ran toward the exit with all his power. He had just taken a few steps outside when he was forced to stop once again.

The mannequins who were supposed to stand without moving gathered in front of him in the blink of an eye, stopping him from moving in that direction.

"Holy crap! Why are these things so creepy?" Noah glared at the mannequins, "They should act like normal beings!"

"Don't fight them yet," Shane warned. He could tell that if Noah were to attack these things, they might do something in defense. It was better to take another longer route to go ahead. He told his host to do the same thing.

"Are you sure it'll work?"

p "Nope, but we don't have another choice."

"Fine," Noah turned around and started heading over in the East direction. Just as he had taken a few steps, the mannequins gathered and stopped his pace again, "That's not fair!"

Shane also got a headache at this time. What kind of a monster are the mannequins? So many at that? "Looks like you have to kill them."

The boy stared at the scene with a pale face and asked, "Don't you have something like a skill set? I want to buy it!"

Shane searched the shop instantly and found something interesting:

[Name: Swordmaster skill

Level: 3

CE use: 0

Attribute: physical strength

Strength: 19

Attack: 17

Physical Resistance: 20

CE Resistance: 0

Luck: 9]

He forwarded it to the host and said, "I have just sent you the sword and skill. Use it and fight them."

Noah got excited as he clicked the skill. His entire body was engulfed with divine cosmic energy as he jumped and slashed his katana at the closest mannequin, splitting it in half.

"Woah! I'm awesome!"

Shane nodded. He had also purchased similar skills, but he couldn't use them for more than a few seconds because practically all of them belonged to different attributes. For instance, he could use the ice attack previously with the help of the freezing skill he had purchased a while back.

Once purchased, he could use it with an hour of reset time. It was just that the attack period would only be of a few seconds as it would drain Shane's energy at a faster rate. At this time, he could see that the sword master's skill matched the host's attribute, which was physical strength.

So Noah could use it unlimited times. Shane had a look of envy in his eyes as he stared at the beautiful scene of mannequins being split apart in a fantastic manner with skillful mastery of the katana.

But something was wrong. It had been a while, but none of the mannequins fought back. They only stood in one place and let themselves be 'killed' by Noah. He instantly asked, "Turn around and see if those mannequins are still there."

Noah nodded and glanced back only to have his eyes widen.

Not a single mannequin he had killed was behind him. He remembered splitting the mannequins apart, but now, he couldn't see even a single one of them!

What was happening? Where did they go?!
