Chapter 1666 Stealing As Much Demonic Energy As Possible!
-----
Drake finished digesting the three Demon Generals within a few minutes, as he glanced his army and family battle the incoming Monster Waves in silence, his demonic powers increasing once more, as he gained a large chunk of demonic energy out of it.
[You have consumed three powerful Demon Generals.]
[You have fully absorbed their bodies and power, further boosting your own Physical Body's Strength and Stamina, and your own Soul's Demonic Power.]
[You gained +300.000.000 Demonic Energy.]
[You have extracted, absorbed, and assimilated the Demonic Ability: [Infernal Demonic Aura (S)]!]
[There are several available Demonic Body Parts you can add to your Demonic Physique Ability.]
[Do you wish to register any Demonic Body Part?]
"Hmmm, not for now, they weren't that impressive anyways."
Drake didn't want to waste the four slots he had on the body parts of some lame Demon Generals that died so easily after he ate them.
Their endless regeneration was completely useless when they entered his endlessly devouring stomach, the powerful Sin of Gluttony could devour anything.
Their bodies, souls, minds, everything, was completely consumed without leaving anything behind, becoming part of Drake's strength.
However, that wasn't even all his gains.
As his soldiers and family fought the ninth Monster Wave, he was constantly earning a large quantity of Score Points.
[You have slain an Enemy Unit, you gained +10 Score Points.]
[You have slain an Enemy Unit, you gained +10 Score Points.]
[You have slain an Enemy Unit, you gained +500 Score Points.]
[You have slain an Enemy Unit, you gained +10 Score Points.]
[You have slain an Enemy Unit, you gained +200 Score Points.]
[You have slain an Enemy Unit, you gained +1000 Score Points.]
[You have slain an Enemy Unit, you gained +1000 Score Points.]
[…]
[Total Score Points: 109.500]
"Already surpassed one hundred thousand within nine waves," Drake thought. "If this entire thing lasts 24 hours, then there's fifteen more Monster Waves left. But is that enough? Everyone else is also getting the same amount of monsters… I suppose I should start kill stealing. Because Pandemonium's demons barely give any Score Points, despite how strong they are."
Aside from the Score Points though, Drake was also earning Demonic Energy from a different source. The Demonic Spiritual Roots of Ashlock, connected to the three Demon Generals and also his own Soul were supplying with a constant amount of Demonic Energy.
[You have drained +16.000 Demonic Energy from a Mysterious Source.]
[You have drained +12.000 Demonic Energy from a Mysterious Source.]
[You have drained +33.000 Demonic Energy from a Mysterious Source.]
[You have drained +110.000 Demonic Energy from a Mysterious Source.]
[You have drained +51.000 Demonic Energy from a Mysterious Source.]
[You have drained +11.000 Demonic Energy from a Mysterious Source.]
[You have drained +7.000 Demonic Energy from a Mysterious Source.]
[You have drained +160.000 Demonic Energy from a Mysterious Source.]
[…]
The more Demonic Energy he gained, the stronger and more potent his entire Soul and even Body felt, Drake was draining as much as possible, like a filthy and deranged parasite, but Pandemonium eventually noticed.
CRASH!
The three connections of the Demon Generals to the Demon Gates were quickly destroyed, leaving them not as invincible as before. Drake also lost the ability to drain all the energy he wanted. However, it lasted a good four hours.
"So he eventually found out, quite slow, aren't you?" The Dragon King's eyes became sharper as he noticed the amount of Demonic Energy he had now.
[Demonic Energy]: [26.433.790.000]
"This is ridiculous…"
From barely one billion to twenty-six billion.
It was completely insane that he had managed to drain so much!
Pandemonium, however, had plenty from where that came from, a near endless amount, actually.
Even twenty-six billion seemed as nothing in front of that absolute monster.
But even then, he couldn't use all his endless power if he was just torn to pieces and was only barely a few of his original body parts.
"I'll be using this Demonic Energy well, thank you for the gift, Pandemonium," Drake said, smiling. The amount of Demonic Energy he had already surpassed his four billion Divine Power, which he had hurriedly gathered from all sources before coming here.
"With this Demonic Energy, I could easily Rank Up a couple more times…" Drake thought.
His Demon King Seed was already about to reach Rank 4, and with his surplus of Demonic Energy, even reaching Rank 5… or 6 could be possible!
However, that also involved risks he didn't know if he could afford, such as having to fight a progressively stronger Gluttony with each Rank Up. Can he do this while in the middle of a battle against Pandemonium? It was ridiculous to even consider.
However, Demonic Energy was also power, the more he had, the stronger and more potent his demonic abilities could be, and by using it on his divine abilities, he could enchant or corrupt them into stronger, more demonic versions.
"Considerably better than nothing… Now, let's begin with the second half of our plan."
After earning enough to classify, and showing Pandemonium that his little tricks wouldn't work against him or his family and friends, Drake decided to move into his second half of the plan.
Pandemonium and that other mysterious bastard had their fun attacking them first, and failing miserably too, they had a lot of fun threatening Drake and Surtr as much as they wanted.
However, after realizing that playing around like this only feed on Drake, they had become more moderate, deciding to just sit down, accumulate points, and wait until the trial was over.
However, Drake wasn't going to play along with their bullshit. "Now's my turn," he said. "You constantly attempted to destroy us, and you expect us to sit around and peacefully wait until it's over? You're too full of yourselves."
The army of Demons in both territories was almost completely massacred, Surtr's twin wives, his allies and friends were devastating everything with deadly firepower and gigantic attacks and divinities they had trained thanks to the Venerables.
Meanwhile, Drake's family and friends easily overpowered anything, with Benladann, Benladra, and Drake's children being his trump cards.
But was that enough?
Not at all!
"Go."
With a single command, both armies of friends and family rushed forward, accompanied by dozens of thousands of Undead demons and monsters.
When Pandemonium and his mysterious partner realized what was happening.
It was too late.
