"It's Becky!"
Moments later, a group of armed Demon Hunters rushed over. They had an awful look on their faces when they saw the corpse of the gold-haired Demon Hunter.
"His throat has been bitten in order to suck out the blood, a classic Vampire case… And it didn't follow the rules, a wanderer perhaps?"
Both of Jock's hands held onto a large hunter gun that had two barrels as he went to the front of the Vampire corpse. "Hmm, a shot killed it! Sacred gunpowder and a Secret Silver bullet was used—Who's the Demon Hunter that did this? This saved us a lot of trouble!"
Vampires without any restrictions would easily go into a state of endless feeding, creating panic.
At the same time, he was also worried. "Why is there a Vampire wanderer this close? Did anything happen in the Dark Realm? Where's Hulk? How is he?"
Compared to Becky, the injured Hulk worried him more. "If I'd known earlier, I wouldn't have allowed him to leave. I wonder where he is now."
"Wait a minute! Jock, I think you should come over and take a look at this!"
A Demon Hunter, with a toothpick in between his lips, was squatting on the floor, checking the corpse of the giant bat monster.
He used his right hand to pull out a silver throwing knife. There were carvings on it that formed what appeared to be "H.K."
"This is… Hulk's throwing knife?" Jock rubbed his eyes. "He bought this knife from me…"
"Hmm, it seems like you have a very powerful nephew!" The Demon Hunter with a toothpick in-between his lips laughed.
"No way?" Jock was completely baffled. "He's… still injured. It's definitely not fake—I even checked it personally this morning…"
"If he was still able to have this combat ability when he's injured…" The Demon Hunter with a toothpick in-between his lips squinted his eyes. "Then, he might have the ability to become… with his potential!"
The Demon Hunter's voice had a sense of yearning and was very envious, but lowered his tone when he spoke of the keyword.
…
"The vampire's heart has proven its worth…"
At the moment, Fang Yuan was looking at the glass bottle in front of him. The heart was soaked in a transparent fluid and still seemed to be beating slightly, showing a shocking life force.
"Only such an ingredient will have the ability to create treatment water?"
He shook his head. "It's a pity… that I'm not a Pharmacist, or else, I would be able to produce one directly and return to Jock."
The blood from the apex of the vampire's heart couldn't be used recklessly. Without a professional pharmacist's help to remove the poison and bacteria, it was basically much more toxic than any other poisons.
"Cough cough…"
Fang Yuan coughed for a few moments and stroked his chest. "Of course… the main focus now is to cure the injury on my chest!"
He was under a bridge whilst using the power of the Fiery Golden Eyes. Even if his surroundings were pitch black, it was as bright as daytime for him.
"This power has been pestering me for too long… it ought to pay the price!"
Fang Yuan tore open the bandage and saw the wound on his chest.
There were three lines from a claw mark, the wound hadn't scabbed over yet, with fresh blood oozing out instead.
He felt scorching hot as something clashed and coiled in his chest.
He closed his eyes slightly and recalled the scene from before:
In front of the church, there was a demon with mountain goat-horns and seemed to have flames burning in its body. It aggressively pounced onto the newbie Demon Hunter and clawed at him!
Accompanying a whistle, raging flames immediately appeared and branded his chest.
"Phew… The man who got encircled was a Demon Descendent! It serves the Evil Demons of the Night Family Clan… The power that was left inside me belongs to the Evil Demon?
"It's such a shame to eliminate this power…"
Fang Yuan looked at the burns surrounding the claw marks and laughed bitterly.
Demon Hunters wouldn't be repulsed from making use of the Dark Realm's power. After catching Vampires, they would definitely get the heart's blood to product treatment water.
However, how skilled was he to make judgments?
It was intentional that he didn't eliminate that power for research purposes.
At this moment, he already had some ideas on what to do and had no choice but to walk away. Otherwise, Jock and the others might think badly of him if they saw it.
"This so-called power of the Evil Demon…"
Fang Yuan took out a test tube and used his teeth to remove the cork. There was a translucent fluid inside.
This is Sacred Water, a must-have ingredient for Demon Hunters' training. It could recover one's energy and mental power, as well as to trigger cell division.
However, in his Fiery Golden Eyes, the so-called Sacred Water was actually the opposite of the power of Evil Demon.
"I knew it. The power system of this world couldn't go against the radiation from the Demonic Heart Realm. In order to go against Evil Demons, they could only find power from within the Evil Demons…"
This was different from the treatment water. If it was made known to other Demon Hunters that their abilities, even the source of it, was related to Evil Demons, they would break down.
"Hence… the best way to treat myself would be to swallow this Evil Demon's power directly!"
During the period when he was nursing his wound, Fang Yuan had already thought of the solution.
Of course, this process might create trouble and criticism, thus, it must be done on his own in order to prevent other Demon Hunters from finding out.
"In the end… it's just accepting it!" Fang Yuan laughed malignantly and completely gave up resisting.
Suddenly, the burns surrounding the claw marks spread, bringing with it the power of the Evil Demon.
"Oh!"
This power spread all around his body in an instant, causing his veins to pop out. His skin became a strange color and was even moving on its own as if there was a small mouse tunneling underneath it.
His body emitted the strong presence of an Evil Demon.
No matter which Demon Hunter saw this, they would think that he had become a degenerate!
Even if it's an average person, they might become a demon after getting infected by the Night Family Clan! It was even more so for an injured Demon Hunter!
And this type of Demon Hunter would be killed without a doubt.
"This is… the chaotic will?"
By allowing the Evil Demon's power to flow within his body, Fang Yuan's pupils emitted a purple glow, and he could feel a strong will inside him.
He seemingly saw a shadow of an Evil Demon in front of him—tall build, ferocious appearance, horns on its head, and flames burning around its body. This was no doubt the actual master that the Demon Descendants idolized!
"Oh? Another Demon Hunter that degenerated? Good! Very good! Open your heart and body, and accept the embrace of the darkness. Then, you can get my, the great Flaming Evil Demon Seth's, power!" The illusionary form of the Evil Demon looked at Fang Yuan and projected a voice that could shock a soul.
"What did you say?"
In front of the Flaming Evil Demon, Fang Yuan's will prominently changed, and he transformed into a large giant that was at least a thousand times bigger than the Evil Demon. He then tilted his head down to looked at the Demon, towering over it.
"…" The Flaming Evil Demon was speechless, it promptly retreated without a word.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Fang Yuan's will had become a giant and only needed to stretch his arm to grab the Evil Demon in his palm before crushing it.
"It's only a will that has condensed its power, how can it be compared to my will?
"In the power of an Evil Demon, there will be a chaotic will and the Evil Demon's thoughts… To boldly use it would definitely cause an infection, and even the rotting of intellect, before becoming its true kind!"
Fang Yuan looked at his own chest.
At the moment, it was smooth as the original claw marks had long vanished.
Furthermore, he had never felt so good after standing up to move around.
"I have currently absorbed part of the Evil Demon's power but didn't get affected by him… This is also a kind of significant profane act?"
Fang Yuan looked at both his hands.
His original skin has become much more fair and tender, the callouses from training had also disappeared, and there was even a gorgeous glow on the surface.
"If I had completely accepted the Evil Demon's power, then I would have become a master… Only, I don't have an eye for this Evil Demon's power… And won't use it to confine myself."
Fang Yuan gulped down a mouthful of Sacred Water without any hesitation.
Kaboom!
The medicine that had originally helped Demon Hunters had seemingly turned into flames and burned its way through his throat to his stomach.
"The so-called Evil Demon's power and the power within the Sacred Water are actually two sides of the same coin!
"With the help of the Sacred Water to enhance my efficiency, and by pairing it with my magical energy, I can completely transform into a pure Demon Hunter's power…"
In a split second, his body seemed to burn with flames that had a creamy color.
Before long, the original presence of an Evil Demon vanished, and there was only a fully recovered, healthy, young Demon Hunter at that location.
Crack! Crack!
Fang Yuan casually moved his body, and his joints made all sorts of cracking noises, "Not bad… I can feel that the nature of this body has improved…"
He took a glance at his own traits board, and there was a change in the statistics again:
"Name: Hulk (Fang Yuan)
Essence: 5.0 (110)
Spirit: 5.0 (100)
Magic: 5.0 (120)
Profession: Demon Hunter
State: Healthy
Technique: Basic grapple (Proficient), Gun Fighting Skill (Normal), Secret Study (Normal)
Specialization: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 6)(Peak)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 3)], [Body Seal (Ultimate form)]"
"So this is the form of a normal Demon Hunter? Very… monotonous…" Fang Yuan stroked his chin. "This world's power has been suppressed, maybe I can try to go with a Demon Hunter's body system… And the fastest way to be promoted is to keep hunting… Kill the Night Family Clan and snatch their powers!"
All of a sudden, his eyes moved and looked in a certain direction. "There's a Demon Hunter in pursuit? Looks like I've underestimated the opponent… It's a pity that the presence of an Evil Demon in my body is too strong and I have the risk of being mistaken as a degenerate. It's best not to come into contact with anyone!"
His shadow moved and quickly vanished into the darkness.
…
Before long, footsteps were heard, and the Demon Hunter with a toothpick in-between his lips came over to look under the bridge, staring at the place where Fang Yuan was previously lying with an awful expression on his face.
"There's a strong presence of an Evil Demon here… I suspect that a demon rested here, or a degenerate was born here!"
The Demon Hunter squinted his eyes. "Regarding these types of people who are poisoned by the Evil Demon, we need to eliminate them before he does even more damage!"
