[Demon Bloodline Evolution +35% (Current Bloodline Evolution 5%)]
...Chen Zhen quickly realized what had happened to him; the Demon Bloodline evolution had driven an increase in his demon Rank!
[Chen Zhen [Demon lv.4/Warrior lv.2/Flame Curse Mage lv.1]]
[Abilities: Slaughter Combat Method lv.2 (Blood Flame Slash, Burning Blood Berserk),
Demon Bloodline Legacy lv.4 (demon contract, Interdimensional Gate, Demonic Flames, Demon Fireball, Vilefire Chains, Shapeshift Disguise),
Ice Elemental Resistance lv.3/Ice Elemental Affinity lv.3, Fire Elemental Resistance lv.10/Fire Element Affinity lv.10,
Flame Curse Mastery lv.1 (Searing Rune, Piercing Flame Spear, Binding Fire Ring, Split Fire Net, Silent Incineration), Child of Flame]
As his demon Rank increased, he could feel that his strength, agility, and physical defense had enhanced significantly. If he were to increase his Warrior Rank now, he believed it would be much simpler.
However... why did his Fire Elemental Resistance and Affinity increase to lv.10?
He could clearly perceive that now,
his perception of the surrounding fire elements was incredibly keen. Knowledge and techniques of the Flame Curse Mage that had previously puzzled him were suddenly understood in an instant—a transformation from knowing to doing!
The moment he had the thought, his Mental Energy and mana grew rapidly, and his Flame Curse Mage Rank successfully achieved a Breakthrough to level 2!
Next, he could study the spell abilities of a level 2 Flame Curse Mage.
"I have some matters to attend to nearby. Ice Moon, Thea, take good care of yourselves and the children!"
Chen Zhen, his heart far from calm, quickly walked out of the room to check the two major rewards from fathering offspring.
[Child of Flame: You are the darling of flames, favored by the Origin fire. You are born with extraordinary control and understanding of any flame.]
[Fire Elemental Resistance fixed +lv.7, Fire Element Affinity fixed +lv.7, Fire Elemental Plane teleportation attempts: 3/3 daily.??? (Unknown Ability)]
"As I thought..."
Chen Zhen guessed the reason for the change in his fire element perception. Now, when he cast Demon Fireball, its power could increase several times over, including the magic of the Flame Curse Mage!
Moreover, his ability to learn and comprehend fire magic and any related fire techniques had likely been significantly enhanced!
And... the Epic Rank 10 equipment 'winters judgment'!
With a thought, he extracted the equipment, and a deep blue broadsword emitting a terrifying aura of cold energy appeared in his hand.
The chill emanating from it actually made him feel a deep, bone-piercing cold.
Keep in mind, he had the Child of Flame talent!
Chen Zhen carefully examined the longsword, which looked like quenched ice. The spine of the blade had a series of frost flower patterns, the crossguard resembled savage ice crystal thorns, and the hilt was a wolf's head with deep, blackish-blue sapphire eyes.
[winters judgment: Rank 10 Epic longsword, forged from Glacial Crystals and the spine of an Eternal Winter Wolf. Level 10 sword skill: winters judgment. (If there is no corresponding level of energy supply, the sword skill can only be released once per month)]
"The conquest is about to begin. The sole king of the Nora Mountain Range is about to ascend his throne!"
As Chen Zhen held winters judgment, the cold-resistant winter flowers in the courtyard were gradually coated in a layer of white frost and frozen, as was the ground beneath his feet.
Yet, this sword caused his ambition to burn fiercely!
"The King promises, the King bears the burden, the King conquers!"
Reverting to his true demon form, Chen Zhen spread his massive demon wings, nearly two meters wide, and soared into the sky, laughing wildly.
At a mountain cave not far away, Verelia heard this perverted laughter and couldn't help but walk out of the cave to look toward the sound.
"Morag, what kind of fit is this guy throwing now?"
Verelia's cold expression gradually turned to surprise. She could feel that Morag had become much stronger since the last time she saw him.
A leap-level change!
"Level 4 demon... This guy actually caught up to me..."
Verelia sensed carefully for a moment. There were other changes in Morag that she couldn't quite put into words; in short, it was far more terrifying than just becoming a level 4 demon!
And that sword in his hand... "An Epic longsword?!"
Even from a distance, Verelia could sense a terrifying ice elemental power emanating from it.
"Morag..."
She whispered softly. Morag, holding that sword, had the ability to kill any one of them demons. No wonder he was laughing so pervertedly.
"'The King promises, the King bears the burden, the King conquers'... Where did Morag learn that? Doesn't he feel ashamed?" she recited the words she had just heard.
But then she thought about it; those powerful Demon Lords in the Abyss loved to spout such pretentious language. Having realized this, she began to understand Morag's words.
Ambition.
A demon's ambition for power and strength was expanding rapidly!
Verelia remembered what Morag had said eleven months ago when Guldor had gathered them. It was just as he had said.
'Verelia, every word of mine is sincere. A man of his word like Morag will not deceive others.'
At this moment, she gained a deeper understanding of this oddly-behaving demon companion, while a hint of disdain appeared in her eyes.
She was a Succubus, yet her Soul was that of an angel—the true spirit of a Seraphim from the Seven Heavens. This was her greatest secret.
During an expeditionary war against the Bottomless Abyss, she had unfortunately fallen, been swallowed by the abyssal consciousness, and transformed into an Abyssal Worm.
However, as the slaughter began, she Awakened her original true spirit—the memories of a Seraphim's true spirit.
She loathed demons, who were full of violence and destruction, including her own Succubus body, which was full of debauchery and lustful desires.
If not for the existence of the Seraphim's true spirit, she would have been no different from the promiscuous succubi of the Bottomless Abyss long ago!
She knew exactly what the abyssal consciousness wanted: it wanted to see a Seraphim, who resided high in the Seven Heavens and symbolized purity and justice, fall into a mere vessel of flesh that only sought lust!
Thus, during a demon invasion of Auri, she escaped. After the expedition failed, she fled to the Nora Mountain Range with several demon companions.
The reason she didn't distance herself from those few demon companions
was that she believed their presence could serve as a warning. If any Auri natives hunting demons appeared, these fools would surely be the first to get into trouble!
Well.
She lied. She was now a demon, a Succubus, and could never return to the Seven Heavens high in the starry sky. She was no longer a Seraphim.
Here, at least there were a few eccentric guys she could talk to. They had all survived because they believed there was no hope of victory in the expedition and had fled early.
They were the scum and shame of demons, but of course, each of them was proud of having survived that doomed war.
In short, she quite liked her current retirement life.
"Morag, don't you go doing anything stupid..."
Verelia murmured softly, "I'd rather you find a few more girls and just be a purely lecherous demon..."
During the expedition, quite a few Demon Lords who could easily kill them had died. In the main world of Auri, under the gaze of the gods, there was no room for demons to be arrogant.
