In the morning, warm rays of sunlight shone down.
Together with the nearby Sacred Mountain Demon Hunter Headquarters, the whole of Kotori City had long transformed into a wasteland.
The invasion from the previous day had also caused the Night Family Clans to suffer a huge loss. The number of dead Evil Demons exceeded 10, and this included Darkness Evil Demon Ainz from the original powerful Evil Demon trio. The remaining Evil Demon trio, "Chaos" and "Evil," were also heavily injured and could be considered defeated.
Even the Night Family Clans were in this state. On the other hand, the losses of the Demon Hunters were much more difficult to calculate.
Let's not talk about the casualties of the average Demon Hunters and their families. Within just the whole Demon Hunter Headquarters, the people there were also massacred, and many structures and buildings were burned to ashes.
The even more shocking part was the deaths of three Sacred Weapon holders, which were killed by the Evil Demons, and they even destroyed the Sacred Spear and the Sacred Cup!
The blow to the Demon Hunters' minds was indescribable.
Almost all the newbie Demon Hunters knew that, to Demon Hunters, Sacred Spear was an undefeatable legend, whereas the Sacred Cup was what they relied on to become Titled Demon Hunters.
Without the strongest offensive weapon and cultivation, the Demon Hunters had no more successors; this problem could almost be seen.
After all, with only the Sacred Cup imitations, that were scattered all over the world, Titled Demon Hunters couldn't be cultivated.
It was too difficult to completely rely on the A-grade Demon Hunters to achieve a breakthrough on their own.
Compared to the Sacred Spear, the Demon Hunters that didn't know the truth would rather have both the Sacred Spear and Sacred Coffin to be destroyed together, rather than lose the Sacred Cup.
However, nothing could be reversed.
Although the Evil Demons had retreated, licking their wounds, the activities of the Night Family Clans were completely unrestrained.
At the same time, a large number of elite Master clans surfaced and controlled different government sectors and weapons. They began to announce their plans of unifying the whole Alcala Mainland.
At that moment, it was as if the roles had reversed.
The Night Family Clan changed from darkness to light, and they claimed that they wanted to rebuild the ancient Dark Empire.
And Demon Hunters everywhere hid silently, either falling into great despair or preparing themselves for the flames of revenge.
The kingdoms and governments of ordinary humans were caught off guard and went into a state of confusion and chaos that had never been seen before.
…
In a narrow, small town, Fenrir was happily tearing into a buffalo. At this moment, there were two tumors suddenly growing on both sides of its neck.
Affected by them, its appetite grew, and it even occasionally sneezed fire.
However, Fenrir was indifferent about it.
Because it could feel that after experiencing Fang Yuan's Black Magic technique, it was becoming stronger every day.
As for its strange appearance—to demons, they were originally like this, they didn't have any human worries regarding beauty.
Compared to having power, so what if it was strange?
Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan could only silently sigh.
Pitiful small wolf Fenrir, I hope that you won't be shocked by yourself when you grow two additional heads.
"Mixed blood was originally unstable. I suppressed the chaos, insanity, and the other distracting thoughts to its secondary brains in its body. From that point onwards, its main head would be the existence with rational intelligence!"
Fang Yuan was satisfied with his own work.
However, Mary, who was beside her, was badly shocked by this demon.
"Oh my… do we have to live with these monsters in the future?"
She looked at Fenrir, and felt goosebumps all over her. She even secretly swept her gaze over Peter and Almon.
"Mary!"
At this moment, even Aunt Sophia couldn't keep watching. She came over, pulled her daughter's ear, and dragged her into the house. Muffled scolding could be heard.
"Please don't mind her, this is just what Mary's like!"
Uncle Jock came over, rubbing his hands together.
Compared to his wife and daughter, he better understood that the future of the world would turn ugly. In order to carry on living, or even live a good life, one ought to firmly depend on a powerful individual.
Of course, the best option was still to become strong himself.
However, he looked at his own old, wrinkled face and his loose muscles, and he knew that he no longer had that choice.
Thinking to this point, he couldn't help but sigh, "Is everything true? The strong and glorious Demon Hunter Headquarters has already vanished into thin air? At the location of the downfall of light, the darkness will rebuild a new unified world?"
"Very regrettably… yes!"
Fang Yuan nodded his head.
This time, the Evil Demons changed their state of division; even the initial failure of the battle at Sacred Mountain was a feint.
It was natural that the Demon Hunters would be on the losing end as they were stuck to their old ways, whereas their enemy became like this.
He didn't know why but Urias's figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
Although there was no evidence, he sensed that the changes in the Evil Demons were related to the degenerated Demon Hunter.
After all, only Demon Hunters would know the Demon Hunters' thoughts and weaknesses the best.
"Oh my…"
Jock sighed once, his will and spirit had lowered greatly.
"In fact…"
However, Fang Yuan had a secretive smile then, "Uncle, do you want to become a Demon Hunter again? No, it's an existence that's one step further. How can the protection strength of others be compared to your own?"
"One step further?"
Jock looked at Fang Yuan, puzzled.
"Yes, the original Demon Hunters, the power of an Evil Demon Hunter… In particular, you can look at Almon!"
"Her!"
Jock looked towards the teenaged girl that was training currently and nodded his head.
In this period of time, the original female robber had grown with rapid speed.
Previously, Jock was confident in being able to deal with the other party with just one hand at least. However, he would probably be dealt with by the other party now.
However, the heart-stopping presence and transformation…
"I'll have to consider it…" Jock was instantly a little hesitant.
"No problem. You can find me anytime when you're done thinking." Fang Yuan answered with a smile. He had long predicted his final choice.
Amidst this chaotic world, a man wouldn't reject any power in order to protect his family. Even if the power came from the Evil Demons!
After lunch, Fang Yuan went into the basement.
Vegetables and grape wines were originally stored there, but it had been emptied out by Fang Yuan. The oil lamp emitted a weak glow.
"Sacred Coffin!"
He muttered in an instant as he set up several concealment arrays before promptly touching the gold bracelet in his hands.
A pure, long metal cabinet immediately appeared. After opening it, there was a young Demon Hunter that seemed to be in a deep sleep, its appearance looked attractive.
"Evil Demon King, owner of Desire, the original Demon Hunter—Dante!"
Fang Yuan silently stated the existence's name.
"This Sage's body is really perfect. I'm afraid that his strength exceeds that of a Dream Master Sage when he was alive…"
He looked at the Evil Demon's corpse, a fire burned in his eyes.
In actual fact, he definitely would've possessed this body if he had the option back then.
Unfortunately, the traversing technique had revealed long ago and could no longer be moved. The best he could do was to turn it into an incarnation.
"Looking at its orifices, it seems that there are also traces of an astral trip, could this be a Dream Master's body for lodging?"
Promptly, Fang Yuan was puzzled but didn't think further.
This type of temporary technique was important in defense and offense. At the moment, the body was in his hands. And with Sacred Coffin's seal, even if the original owner came, it would be a mess.
"A machine that produces unlimited blood? It's not bad…"
Fang Yuan thought of the Evil Demon Hunters. "Using it as promotion material would be most suitable."
Even if the owner of Desire was the strongest Evil Demon, it boasted to the Evil Demon Hunters, and it would naturally be much more powerful than those of the same species.
Moreover, this existence was already dead. At least in this world, it wouldn't disrupt the power of the technique.
The most important thing was that it was the original ancestor of the Demon Hunters. In regards to transforming into an Evil Demon Hunter, this was only the second time. There were many examples in history, not only was it not dangerous, but they also complemented one another well.
"Of course, before this, I can still happily drink the blood of Evil Demon to help me break through!"
Although normal Demon Hunters would definitely degenerate from directly drinking the blood of the Evil Demon, Fang Yuan was different!
He had long obtained the experience of transforming, and there was no need to be afraid of the hidden risks.
Even so, he could be able to completely produce true Sacred Water with enough time!
"Unfortunately, it's still a problem of output!"
This assumption was workable, but after Fang Yuan tried a few times, it still ended.
This was because he was unable to compare with the Sacred Cup's efficiency. Maybe he could be able to obtain a small amount of Sacred Water, but it would only be enough for himself, and it wouldn't be enough to fulfill the needs of the large Demon Hunter community.
Hence, by destroying the Sacred Cup, Evil Demons had destroyed the foundation of Demon Hunters!
From that point onwards, even though Demon Hunters could still be created through cultivation and they could even achieve a breakthrough, the difficulty level and the time requirement for becoming a Titled Demon Hunter increased; it was a disadvantage in the competition.
Unless…
"A large number of Demon Hunters have no choice but to change their profession; being an Evil Demon Hunter is their only way out."
At this moment, a knock came from the door.
Fang Yuan walked over and immediately saw Jock.
The other party was determined and used a clear tone to say, "I've thought it through; I need to obtain a strong power!"
"Very good, follow me!"
Fang Yuan smiled. "The power of an Evil Demon Hunter is also the true power of the Demon Hunters!"
With the first few samples, Demon Hunters everywhere must unify under his own flag.
"Demon Hunters are going extinct, the next battles will be between the Evil Demon Hunters and the Evil Demons…"
Fang Yuan's eyes shone, and he thought about the Dead Sea Ancient Scroll in his hands.
One of them was from John Town, and the other one was a gift that came with the Sacred Coffin.
"Mother of Reproduction? What level would one be if said existence was able to give birth to the owner of Desire…"
Fang Yuan knew all the truths of this world. It was nothing more than a tragedy where an external power polluted the entire world.
If he was able to solve the "root" of the problem, he would be able to obtain the world's gratitude and blessings.
As for the rumored Mother of Reproduction, it aroused Fang Yuan's strong research interest.
Maybe, this was a clue to a hint of original power?
"Looks like I have to find an opportunity for the Evil Demons to complete their long-cherished dream…"
