NOVPUB"Keke~ DIE! DIE YOU LOWLY HUMAN!"
Laughing madly, the Devil hurriedly used his certain rule, making the flame within the surface of his trident drastically increase- instantly releasing an intense light that momentarily lightened the centre of the town!
Furthermore, the imperceptible miasma around began to evaporate toward the unknown, vanishing in a matter of milliseconds before being filled again by another one...
Grinning, waiting for the notification of the death of the being in front of him to echo within his mind.
The Devil, couldn't help but suddenly show puzzlement within his crimson eyes, feeling that something was amiss upon not hearing the familiar notification after burning the physique in front of him for 10 seconds- making it unrecognizable as its charred skin began to fall toward its body, before becoming ashes afterwards...
This...
Seemingly comprehending something, mumbling under his breath, the sight before him slowly crumbled, cracking similar to a fine mirror... Unfolding the reality in front of his eyes as he couldn't help but show horror within his face!

Cough~ cough~
Below, the bloodied figure of the human releases an unceasing sound of coughing, dispelling his unconscious double (illusion) beside him, successfully deceiving the senses of the Devil earlier! Allowing it to believe that he was still unconscious from the damage he took!
Cough~
Weakly pointing his palm toward the atmosphere above, the blooded human silently beholds the illusion he created slowly crumbling under his eyes, spitting out the fear-stricken Devil, buying Leo some time to recover from the madness that inflicted his being!
...
Huff~
Taking a deep breath, calming his chaotic thoughts down, Leo couldn't help but secretly wipe the forming sweat within his forehead, unable to dispel the murderous thoughts within his consciousness- tempting him to unleash the destructive desires hidden within his being!
Fortunately, with the things that he experienced so far, he managed to temporarily reign the intense desire flowing within his mind, making his head ache slightly as he hurriedly consumed the green blood hidden within his Scale of Revenge! Healing the damage he took when the low devil in the short distance unleashed its rule that was related to flames!
Mending the burned skin that fell off from his physique earlier! Making his figure a new, instantly recovering its pale characteristics!
~
Beholding the concealed fear within the eyes of the devil, finally escaping the illusion that the human below casted, Leo unfolds an enranged yet wicked smile on his face...
Hurriedly gripping the floating silver scale within the atmosphere, causing the puddle of black blood within its silver plate to swirl- releasing an intense scent of metallic blood as the devil silently beheld the black blood within began to evaporate within the thin air...
Sending him an intense premonition of danger that originated from the unknown, making him retreat in the distance in the hope of escaping the impending doom but only in vain!
Splash!
Not even a second passed by, a sound of ripping flesh abruptly echoed toward the far distance, separating the shoulder of the devil toward its physique through the unknown method- making the bloodied man beneath unfold a shocked expression on his face.
Blood and pain abruptly reflected within his crimson eyes, slowly beholding how his flesh and bones suddenly and abruptly separated from his physique. Unable to comprehend and fathom that thing that just occurred, sending intense chills within the depths of his soul and being...
Quite sure that the human in its front hadn't used a skill that could chop his shoulder in a matter of milliseconds! Furthermore, the flesh of a Late Core Formation realm Low-Devil could rival a Rare rarity metal at the very least!
Even the Ice King wouldn't be able to separate his shoulder from his physique without chopping it a couple of times!
"This... Did I fall into another illusion?'
Ding!
-50 health!
***
Enjoying the imperceptible energy that the low devil unconsciously released in the distance, feeling that his gaseous core was already approaching its limit, finally seeing the corner of the mid-stage of the Core formation realm.
Leo silently decreased the Qi he was feeding to his restraint skill, still hadn't seen its miraculous effect since earlier- comprehending that the luck of a Core Formation realm being is much stronger than he expected.
At least much stronger than Foundation realm beings!
Churn~
In an instant, upon deliberately weakening his restraint skill... a dark aura (jinx), imperceptible to one's sight instantly gushed from Leo's physique, eroding the fate of being within its area of effects- making their luck slowly dwindle in the process as the flame within the surface of the devil's physique mysteriously weakened.
Furthermore, the separated shoulder of the devil within its grasp mysteriously slipped under his hands...
Making him startle as he beheld how its shoulder swiftly flew toward Leo's direction! Making its plan to consume it in able to recover some of its lost health become impossible!
Instantly draining the colour on its crimson face as he hurriedly took out a healing potion within its inventory, drinking it in a matter of milliseconds- frowning as his eyes never left the sight of the human in his front! Discover exclusive content at empire
"Keke..."
Laughing in a mocking voice, Leo leisurely grabbed the floating shoulder within the atmosphere, hiding it within his inventory as he hurriedly cast Qi bullets within his hands, summoning tens of dark balls within that hurriedly hurled themselves toward the direction of the Devil- making the expression of the Devil to become replaced by pain as he hurriedly evaded the approaching projectiles!
However, compared to earlier, Leo's control over his Qi bullets that were coated by his telekinetic ability became more profound, making them swirl within the atmosphere- causing the eyes of the devil to become dazzled as bullets began to heavily hit his physique!
AHH! 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Drilling within the wounds of his shoulder! Causing him to release a grotesque cry that instantly resounded toward the far unknown distance- making the chaos within the town momentarily halt as they unisonly tilted their head toward the direction of the unknown!
Before continuing their actions afterwards upon not seeing anything...
***
"Just you wait. I will ensure to kill you two in the future!"
Soon, upon being bombarded by Qi bullets for almost 5 seconds, beholding that his health was further reduced by 10%, only leaving him with less than 25% on his health... The devil, understanding that he wouldn't be able to kill the two abominations on his front, hurriedly turned his physique toward his back, summoning a blazing flame within his soles as he instantly retreated with great speed.
Catching the two off guard- leaving a trail of smoke beyond as Leo hurriedly tried to chase but only in vain!
Unable to catch up due to his pathetic speed!
Although his speed almost rivals the attributes of the devil, Leo's lack of skill that momentarily boosts his speed still makes his basic attributes pathetic! Not allowing him to catch the battered and weakened figure of the Devil!
"F*CK! That devil still managed to escape even though it was greatly weakened!'
Cursing within his mind, Leo couldn't help but feel helpless, comprehending that his current skills wouldn't allow him to kill a weakened real Devil! Making him feel the intense urgency to grow stronger!
Understanding, that he still lacks the necessary skill to protect himself!
"Huff~ I still lack offensive skills and skills that boost one's speed... I should ponder upon getting back toward the cemetery later.'
Pondering deep within his mind, catching a glimpse of the blooded human beneath slowly floating toward his direction, clearly wanting to thank him for the assistance earlier...
Leo hurriedly activated his invisibility skill, not wanting to waste time on senseless conversation, immediately rushing toward the sound of the weak chaos in the distance to see if he could kill some Quasi Devils- wanting to increase the perimeter beside his race.
...
"This...'
Seeing that the pale figure of the human above slowly mended with the surrounding void. Henry, the blooded human being beneath suddenly felt lost. Could only silently stare at the dark firmament above, thoughts were unknown as he lightly sighed in helplessness.
"Huff~ I didn't expect that the town was still hiding a tramp card within... It's just that, they all seem cold by nature.'

"Ehh, did that guy suffer from an unexpected head injury?'
As Leo was commanding all of his puppets to retreat toward the depths of the Endless Forest, toward the bland cemetery where they called home...
The familiar sound of heavy metal hitting another metal suddenly echoed within his consciousness, making him puzzled as he stared at the bloodied human in the far distance- unable to fathom how serious the injury it took that caused its mind to become mentally unstable.
Shrugging his shoulder, Leo took a deep breath, taking a long last glance toward the almost ruined town, beholding the corpses of beasts, humans, and devils scattered around the place. Making him sigh as he finally rushed toward the far distance.
"The cemetery is still the best...'
