All MILFs are Mine Chapter 293: Mikael Malkovich

Under the gaze of two blue moons, the forest was bathed in a ghostly radiance as freezing gusts of wind whistled through the branches.

Moving with caution, Rees and Leon pushed further into the woods, weapons gripped tightly as they remained vigilant against the encroaching darkness.

In his left hand, Rees held a long wand that vibrated softly; it was already loaded with an offensive spell and a defensive shield, both ready for immediate casting.

Leon kept Nyxter in its sheath, though invisible threads of mana wrapped around the blades like coiled silk, prepared to draw the sword at a moment's notice.

"The silence in this part of the forest... it isn't natural," Rees whispered, activating a scanning spell that sent ripples through the air to detect hidden enemies.

"The crickets haven't stopped, and those circling birds indicate there aren't any predators nearby," Leon replied softly, his gaze fixed on the path ahead, his body tense and ready for combat.

"How much further are we going, Sir Leon?" Rees inquired, his tone betraying his unease.

"Deep enough to ensure no one interferes with me," Leon stated coldly, continuing his advance without slowing down.

"Sir Leon... we have already traveled deeper than any adventurer has ever dared," Rees insisted.

"I am aware. For now, keep your mouth shut," Leon ordered.

'I need a safety net in case my bloodlust becomes uncontrollable,' Leon reflected, his face a mask of indifference as he triggered his ability.

"Skill Crafter..."

<Skill Crafter>

[Please pick a name for the skill...]

"Calm Mind."

[Skill ’Calm Mind’ has been created.]

[Rank has been settled to ’D’ by default.]

[State the use of skill.]

"Upon activation, the skill will stabilize the user’s mental state and soothe any overwhelming emotions."

[Processing....]

[Error: User can’t craft this particular skill.]

Leon’s eyes widened in shock as the system notification appeared before him.

"What the—" Before he could finish his sentence, a heavy, ominous pressure filled the air.

The crickets suddenly went silent. The birds ceased their flight and disappeared into the trees. A suffocating, eerie stillness took over the forest.

"Mr. Leon..." Rees breathed, spinning around with his wand raised.

"Prepare yourself," Leon growled, his expression turning grim as he drew Nyxter in a single, smooth motion.

*Swish*

"But... I can't feel anything. My detection skill shows nothing—"

"Hello."

A voice drifted from the left, sounding both frigid and mocking.

Leon and Rees turned together, spotting a figure emerging from the bushes. It was a man dressed in shredded rags, with long black hair reaching his knees and sharp, jagged nails on his left hand. His face was a horrific sight, with blood staining his lips and chin like a crimson mask.

*Step*

As he walked into the light, Leon felt a chill run down his spine. In his right hand, the man held two decapitated heads: one belonging to a hob-goblin and the other to a red-skinned variant with two horns.

Without hesitation, Leon used his ability.

<Inspect>

[Name: Mikael Malkovich]

[Class: Chimera]

[Race: Vendigo]

[Level: 372]

[HP: 370002000/370002000]

[MP: 45000000/36486287]

[Description: Mikael Malkovich was an experimental subject created by the head of the Lopez family to combat demons. However, after consuming the flesh of the Demon general Gurua during battle, Mikael gained incredible power and hyper-regeneration at the cost of his sanity.

Mikael is neither human nor monster, but something entirely different. He still harbors a deep hatred for the Lopez household and seeks to destroy them once more.]

'What a damn monster...' Leon thought, his heart racing as he triggered every combat skill he possessed.

<Multi-Cast>

<Steelweb Armour>

<Leeching Aura>

<Reverberate>

<Life Steal>

<Adrenaline Rush>

<Blade of Artemis>

...

Strength surged through his body instantly. His aura flared like a tempest, surrounding him in a suit of pitch-black metallic armor that shimmered under the moon. His eyes turned into dark voids, and his senses became razor-sharp.

"I thought the Red Ogre would be my only meal... but it looks like I've found dessert as well," Mikael sneered, tossing the severed heads aside with indifference.

*THUD-THUD*

*Swish*

Mikael vanished in a blur, appearing behind Leon like a ghost. "That armor won't protect you..." His nail stabbed into Leon’s shoulder, tearing through the Steelweb Armour as if it were paper and drawing a spray of warm blood.

Pain shot through Leon’s arm, but he turned with explosive force, swinging Nyxter in a lethal arc—yet he only hit the air. Mikael was already gone.

'His speed is beyond human,' Leon realized, teeth clenched as sweat began to form on his forehead.

*Swish*

Mikael appeared right in front of Leon, calmly licking the blood from his fingernail. *Lick* "Hmm... it tastes strange. You haven't been eating properly. No matter... it's time for the hunt.

Why don't you try running?" Mikael’s smile grew wider and more predatory as his nails transformed into long, metallic claws that gleamed with a deadly light.

Leon didn't back down. He adjusted his footing, Nyxter vibrating with power, keeping his breathing steady despite his racing heart.

"That's a first... No one has ever stood their ground after realizing they are nothing but an insect to me," Mikael laughed, his voice full of dark amusement. Then, he blurred out of sight again.

'Fu—' Leon’s thought was interrupted by a scream of instinct. He turned to block a strike, but Mikael wasn't there.

<Hex-Mana Shield>

*Tang*

"Above you... Sir!" Rees shouted, pointing his wand upward. A glowing barrier formed around Leon, constructed from hexagonal layers of mana to create a solid dome.

Leon looked up just as Mikael descended from the air, his claws striking like falling stars and slowly cracking the shield with a grinding sound.

"Fuck..." Leon cursed, rolling to the side as the barrier shattered into a shower of sparks.

*Thud*

Mikael hit the ground, creating craters beneath his feet. He looked at his claws with mild interest before turning his gaze toward Rees, a cruel smile on his lips.

"Hah..." In an instant, he disappeared, reappearing behind Rees like a shadow of death, his claws aimed at the man's necro-heart.

*Swish*

However, Leon had anticipated the move and was faster. He spun with perfect timing, and Nyxter cut through the air in a horizontal strike that hit Mikael’s wrist.

*Cut*

The hand was sliced off cleanly, falling to the ground in a spray of dark blood.

*Thud*

Mikael didn't scream. He stared at the stump in confusion as his regeneration worked at a crawl, the flesh knitting together far too slowly.

"What?" he whispered, his eyes narrowing. The limb that should have healed instantly was taking far too long just to stop the bleeding.

Leon took advantage of the moment.

"LAST RISE: FULL MOON!"

He roared as he unleashed the skill, spinning Nyxter in a mesmerizing circle. The moonlight seemed to sharpen the blade, creating ghostly shadows that distracted Mikael.

The stance broke as Nyxter lunged forward, a silver flash aimed at Mikael’s throat with enough speed to distort the air.

Mikael’s instincts saved him. He dug his feet and claws into the dirt to anchor himself. With a snarl, he twisted his body at the final moment, the blade only grazing his neck.

*SWISH*

*THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD*

The blades of Nyxter detached, flying outward like shrapnel. Trees were torn apart and knocked down as the projectiles ripped through the woods in destructive paths.

*Haaaah*

Leon let out a heavy breath, sweat covering his armor as he regained his stance, pointing the hilt of Nyxter at his foe.

"Nyxter..." he commanded, tightening his grip. With a rush of wind, the blades flew back and clicked into place.

Mikael’s playful attitude was gone, replaced by a murderous stare. His arrogance had vanished; he realized he was now facing a genuine threat.

"I'm going to keep your head in my lair..." he growled, his voice thick with rage as he flexed his claws, the air between them thick with tension.
