Ten days later, Sacred Mountain, Demon Hunter Headquarters.
Bang!
Accompanied by Fang Yuan who threw down, Zweig was reluctantly punched and fell onto the floor pathetically.
"Sigh…"
All the Demon Hunters in their surroundings sighed with regret.
"Okay, I lost again. I'll send the Sacred Water over. I'll come again next time!"
Zweig rolled over before getting up, but he was filled with a fearless will to fight.
He felt that the difference between him and his opponent was minor, and with a little more hard work, he would be able to defeat this long-time enemy!
Unfortunately, Fang Yuan would let him know that this minor difference could, in fact, not be shortened when he brought the portion of Sacred Water next time around.
"I should give him some hope. If he becomes discouraged and despairs to the point that he decides not to come, I'll be the one losing out!" Fang Yuan thought calmly before going back to practice producing medicament. His day went by just like that.
However, when nighttime arrived, his pupils emitted a ray of energy. He went to a corner of the room and stretched his hands towards the air and suddenly held onto a hand lever.
As he took something down, that looked like a curtain, Monster Sob appeared. "Why is… the Evil Demon not here yet? This is making me anxious."
The scene was very magical, it was as if he pulled an object out of thin air.
Before this, there was nothing opposite him, not even a ripple of presence.
"The [Invisible cloak] made from Ternetheo's skin doesn't have any shielding abilities, but it has fully awakened the natural concealment and hiding abilities of the Evil Demon. Anything that's covered by this wouldn't have any movement of energy, as if it had vanished from the world…"
Fang Yuan clenched the Demon Weapon in his hands and was stupefied.
As he had still underestimated the difficulty of making an Elite Demon Weapon, even he was unsure of what level [Invisible Cloak] was.
However, he could at least confirm that this Demon Weapon had a powerful ability and was suitable for his own needs. Especially with the combination with Monster Sob, he wouldn't even exchange them with a Sacred Weapon imitation!
"The Evil Demons… still seem to be in the preparation stage. It's alright… the longer they drag on, the more assured I am!"
Fang Yuan opened a test tube filled with Sacred Water and gulped it down.
During this period of time, he was able to have an abundant stock of Sacred Water due to Zweig's constant challenges.
Needless to say, even Uncivilized, Water Sword, and the other skilled members, they also wanted to prove their position as the chief by defeating him. This allowed him to have a greater stock.
After all, the abilities of Demon Hunters were slightly strained amongst each other. With Fang Yuan's acting, they were able to bring their hopes up.
Maybe if Hulk, who had defeated Zweig, could be defeated by them, they would be able to have prestige and fame?
Of course, Fang Yuan had also given them enough hope. Every time, it was "a forceful and lucky win." This allowed those few fellows to provide him with an unending supply of Sacred Water.
He looked at his attributes board:
"Name: Hulk (Fang Yuan)
Essence: 75.0 (110)
Spirit: 75.0 (100)
Magic: 75.0 (120)
Profession: Demon Hunter
State: Healthy
Technique: Basic Grapple (Proficient), Homan Chet's Gun Skill (Proficient), Secret Study (Proficient), Pharmaceutics (Proficient), Alchemy (Proficient), Morning Stars Swordsmanship (Dawn), Shady Flow Flying Claw (Shady Claw), Black Magic Technique (Master)
Specialization: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 6)(Peak)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 3)], [Body Seal (Ultimate form)]"
"Currently, I'm still far away from the Titled Demon Hunters…"
Of course, it was merely just a difference in numbers. If he took Monster Sob out sniping, he's afraid that there wouldn't be many people in the whole Sacred Mountain that would be able to avoid him.
Even more so, he had the confidence to deal with a Titled Demon Hunter with just his own strength and the Black Magic technique.
"This trivial strength still isn't enough."
Fang Yuan suddenly looked at his own lower abdomen.
There was an illusion of a seal gradually appearing there, making him get serious.
"Body Seal? There's also original energy?"
This was identical to the mark of a High-Class Blood, as they're both carved onto the true spirit. No matter how many bodies are exchanged, it would still appear gradually.
"Original power…"
Fang Yuan was currently looking at the exquisite complex seal. Based on his senses and experience, he could only understand a small part of the seal, but he suddenly showed a complex expression.
"In actual fact, the example of the Evil Demon Hunters is the best way for normal people to train and transform the power of an Evil Demon!"
"This experience can also be used on me. It's not quite possible to train and transform original energy completely, but with a little dispelled secondary power…"
What level did original power exist at?
It could multiply in endless succession and is inexhaustible. One drop of it was enough to change the world, and it could even produce many scary demons!
Just by slightly borrowing this power, any Titled Demon Hunters, Evil Demons, and even Sacred Weapon holders and Evil Demon Kings, would all be useless!
Of course, the danger in it was also not to be underestimated.
"Based on the power of creation, tempering original energy should be possible… Of course, even if it's my original body, I still might not be able to withstand the complete awakening of 'original power.' However, with a little dispelled secondary power… It's not impossible, and I can also accumulate experience for my original body…"
Fang Yuan pondered and entered a long silence.
…
It was turning dark.
The bright Sacred Mountain was pure white, but it seemed to be drowned by the dark night.
Within Kotori City.
Within the shadows, a concentrated blood light appeared suddenly, solidifying into a huge, metal door.
Keke!
Caw! Caw!
…
Amidst the strange noises, a countless number of Night Family Clans gushed out from the huge door. It was like a black river, their numbers were difficult to count.
And the entire Kotori City had also become a sea of blood and mountains of corpses in a split-second.
"What happened?"
"A large number of Night Family Clans appeared in the central area. It's possible that the transmitting door has been opened!"
"Inform the headquarters immediately! Request for the help of the Sirs!"
"Those d*mn demon b*st*rds, how dare they come here?"
…
Kotori City was basically a Demon Hunter city at the moment.
After experiencing panic and confusion at the start, many Demon Hunters took out their own weapons and dealt with the Werewolves, Vampires, Concealed Demon Killers, Voodoo Corpses and other monsters systematically.
"Evil Demon!"
Accompanied by a shout, many rays of light appeared in the city and traveled towards the huge metal doors quickly.
These were the Titled Demon Hunters hidden in Kotori City.
Even if it were them, they couldn't imagine that the Evil Demons would be so generous as to directly open the transmitting door, putting countless numbers of Night Family Clans onto the battlefield as cannon fodder.
"The dark night gave me black eyes… I am Darkness Evil Demon, Ainz Ural Gown… King!"
The metal door rumbled and was protected by an Evil Demon.
This Evil Demon opened up its wings and was able to almost envelop half of the city. In the darkness, its outline was incomparably huge, as if it had blended in with the source of darkness and became one.
"It's 'Darkness' Evil Demon—Ainz, one of the powerful trio of Evil Demons!"
A few Titled Demon Hunters stopped moving. "Inform Sir Longinus immediately!"
Even if they were Power Obtainers, there was also a vast difference between them.
Obviously, these normal Titled Demon Hunters weren't "Darkness" Evil Demon's opponent.
Unfortunately, it was already too late when they realized this.
Darkness was the greatest cover, and within the darkness, many tall shadows suddenly stood on the ground. They had already completely surrounded the few Demon Hunters.
"'Chaos' Evil Demon—Cosmo! 'Evil' Evil Demon—Zoro!"
Two incomparably tall figures appeared as blood-red light enveloped the whole city.
Even the Demon Hunters that had mind talismans with them acted the same under the powerful influence of the Evil Demons themselves. The chaos and evil natures in their bodies were awakened, and they began to slaughter wildly.
If Jock witnessed this scene, he would definitely be grateful to Fang Yuan, who had forcefully brought his whole family away.
Long after processing the Evil Demon's skin, and before he returned to Sacred Mountain, Fang Yuan made Almon and Peter forcefully bring Jock and his family away.
If he still believed that the city was safe despite the warning from the Evil Demon, he would no doubt be an idi*t.
Unfortunately, not every demon hunter was so lucky.
The Demon Hunters that gave up on their original branches and traveled miles to settle here for the safety of their family members were very sorrowful to discover that they had fallen into the same situation as before—attacked by Evil Demons. They couldn't even protect their relatives and friends beside them!
"These d*mn Evil Demons… I'll fight you to the death!"
A Demon Hunter saw a ghoul take away his daughter, and his eyes became red. He waved his sword and pounced over.
However, it was unfortunate that he didn't take note of his surroundings. Due to the chaos of the battlefield, and the influence by the Evil Demon's chaotic field—even before he reached the front of the ghoul—he was caught by a Voodoo Corpse that looked like a small hill, and he was swallowed into his stomach, whole.
"Idi*t… Don't eat too much!"
A gold werewolf roared as it led them, "Remember our masters' command… We need a large amount of flesh and blood—it's best if they can be spread throughout the whole city!"
Ahwhoooo!
Countless werewolves answered, madly tearing up everything that was in front of them.
Thick blood quickly covered the whole ground, dyeing the whole city blood-red.
In the heart of the battlefield, a few Titled Demon Hunters were besieged by many Evil Demons and were also quickly defeated and killed. Their bodies were torn and thrown on top of the sacrificial altar.
"A city of blood sacrifices, with many Demon Hunters as its offerings…"
Urias stood on top of a small mountain, looking at the city that had fallen into despair and fear. He slowly pulled the organ in his hands. "The brilliant ultimate achievements must be bleak… I'm here to witness the degeneration of Demon Hunters…"
"Those d*mn darkness b*st*rds, what did all of you do?"
At that moment, a sharp roar was heard from Sacred Mountain. Countless figures landed quickly; their leader was, unexpectedly, an old man with simple clothes. However, the presence on his body was fierce, as if its thin, weak body had hidden within it a huge beast.
Fist Sage Warren!
After Kotori City had become a sea of blood and mountains of corpses, the Elite Demon Hunters from Sacred Mountain finally responded and began to rescue them!
"Warren?"
Seeing this scene, Urias's music accompaniment didn't slow down at all. "Although he was comparable to Daybreak Sword Seres in the rumors, he's become old already… To Evil Demons, which have long lives, the lives of humans are, in the end, too short…"
