In an instant, Vega's Nen energy was almost completely depleted.
In an instant, a small, palm-sized sword appeared in his hand, its blade worn and tattered, resembling plastic.
Even though he was somewhat aware of the situation, Vega couldn't help but fall silent when he saw the plastic-like demon clinging to him.
This manifestation of being possessed by evil spirits is just too pathetic!
It's almost indistinguishable from the toys that children hold in their hands.
Vega waved his hand twice, but it had no effect.
Well, it felt to him like he was holding a toy sword made of plastic; its lethality was simply unimaginable.
"Let the system strengthen it!" Vega shook his head, and as he focused his mind, a piece of information instantly appeared in his mind.
Possessed by Evil Spirits: A materialized Nen artifact whose sole effect is to be used by children as a toy.
Vega simply ignored the rant that followed.
Then, focus your mind and silently repeat "strengthen" in your heart.
In an instant, a ghostly light enveloped the sword, which was shrouded in evil spirits, making it impossible to look directly at. One could only feel a powerful energy continuously flowing into the sword.
"Bang!"
"What's that sound?" Vega looked around in surprise, because he heard a strange noise.
It sounded like a heartbeat.
"Thump."
The throbbing sound grew louder and louder, and at that moment Vega stared in shock at the demon-possessed sword in his hand, because he could feel the blade getting hot and throbbing rhythmically.
It seemed as if it had been possessed by an evil spirit and had come back to life.
The next moment, Vega stared in horror at the demon possessing him.
Countless thoughts raced through his mind: "Could it be that the system will actually enhance the possession by a real evil spirit?"
It's important to know that the Imperial Arm Demon Possession was created using the super dangerous species from Akame ga Kill!, the Ancient Dragon. Even after being created as the Imperial Arm Demon Possession, this super dragon species was still alive, and in the end, it even eroded and devoured the protagonist, Tatsumi.
Now, the sound of a heartbeat emerging from within the sword's blade made Vega wonder if the system's power was too strong, actually reviving this demon-possessed sword after the enhancement.
After all, when he manifested the demon possession, he was thinking about the demon possession technique from Akame ga Kill!
As the sword continued to pulsate, the rhythm grew stronger and stronger.
In an instant, countless eerie lights radiated outwards. In Vega's eyes, a silver-white sword appeared, covered with countless dark stripes. At the center of the hilt, a purple jewel shimmered and emitted an eerie light.
The demon-possessed body, now completely transformed, is worlds apart from the previous cartoon toy; one glance is enough to tell it's a divine weapon.
Vega was overjoyed and prepared to strengthen it again.
But when he looked at the system, he found that his experience points, which were originally close to 700, were now only a little over 550.
"How could this be?" Vega was completely astonished. He had seen it before and there was no way he could have misremembered it.
How can a single upgrade consume so many experience points?
The Ghost Mask only requires 10 experience points to be upgraded to +1. Although the experience points required for subsequent upgrades increase proportionally, it's still not as outrageous as it is now!
The difference in energy consumption between the two is a full tenfold!
After Vega searched the system, a piece of information caught his eye.
After a moment, Vega fell silent, because he saw what was displayed in the message.
The stronger the item, the more experience points it consumes, because the greater its power.
The more requirements the items that are manifested have, the more experience points will be consumed.
Therefore, the experience points required for the Demon Possession, which combines defense, attack, and stealth abilities, are naturally more than those required for the Ghost Mask, which only summons shadow warriors.
"Sigh!" Vega shook his head. Is it equivalent to the principle of equivalent exchange?
Forget it, he originally planned to upgrade the Evil Spirit Possession skill to +10, and then find a way to get enough experience points to upgrade it to Tier 1.
I didn't expect it to require so many experience points. Given the increasing experience points required with each enhancement, it would probably take around 3,000 experience points just to enhance the Evil Spirit Possession to +10.
So, wouldn't advancing to the next level require 30,000 experience points?
Thinking of this, Vega couldn't help but shake his head.
It seems that the advanced plan cannot be achieved in the short term.
"However," Vega said, looking at the demon-possessed figure in his hand, "let me see just how powerful it will be after consuming so many experience points to strengthen it!"
Possessed by evil spirits
In an instant, countless eerie lights enveloped Vega, and a suit of armor appeared out of thin air on his back.
It covered it instantly.
In an instant, the evil spirit had merged into his body.
Power, endless power, constantly emerged from within the body.
He felt his body was greatly enhanced at that moment, and a current of energy slowly enveloped him, protecting him.
Looking at a stone pillar in a secluded corner of the villa ruins not far away, Vega casually chopped it down with a hand chop.
In an instant, the stone pillar, which was a meter thick, split into two sections.
"Such power." Raising an eyebrow, Vega looked at the effect of the attack with some surprise, considering that he hadn't used much force.
He effortlessly cleaved the stone pillar without feeling any pain, as if the armor had completely neutralized the recoil.
"In that case, let's test our defensive capabilities!"
Vega ordered one of the shadow warriors to shoot himself in the forearm with a pistol.
"Bang."
A bullet fell to the ground from the demon's body, but left no mark on the armor.
As expected of an Imperial Arm, and as I had enhanced it with a large amount of experience points. Its defensive capabilities certainly did not disappoint.
Vega smiled with satisfaction, as he had already sensed the defensive power of the demonic possession, but after a moment he frowned slightly.
He noticed that his stamina seemed to have been significantly depleted the moment the bullet hit him, and during the attack.
It seems that each defense and attack requires a certain amount of stamina.
"It seems that the effect of being possessed by evil spirits is quite good. Both its attack power and defense power far exceed his expectations."
However, it consumes a lot of stamina during use, and it seems that stamina consumption increases significantly with attacks and defenses.
However, Vega secretly calculated his stamina and found that if it were just a normal battle, he should be able to last for more than an hour based on the energy he had just used.
It seems that without overcoming the stamina limitation, using the Demon Possession technique is not suitable for prolonged battles.
In that case, further strengthening is still needed.
Although each upgrade might increase the stamina consumed by Demon Possession, its power will definitely increase exponentially. Once the enemy is eliminated quickly, there will be no need to worry about the battle's endurance.
Once Vega made up his mind, he immediately spent a large amount of experience points to upgrade the Possessed by Evil to +4.
Just then, the phone rang.
Looking at the incoming phone number, Vega raised an eyebrow and a smile appeared on his face.
"Are they here?"
