This thought resonated deep within Jordan’s mind as he tried to understand what the demon was saying. Now, more than ever, he was invested in the conversation and wanted to know more. “What do you mean, you were once a human? And how did you become a demon bound to the forbidden book?” Jordan asked, lowering his blade a bit, but still on strong defence and alert.“Exactly! It looks like you’re actually paying attention. It seems you are interested in what I am saying, and I really love that. At least, I would be glad to tell my story to the very first human I have encountered after a thousand years of my transformation.” The demon chuckled softly, drawing the cold stormy breeze into his lungs. He then rubbed his beard softly, then continued speaking. “There was a time when power meant everything to me, making me crave it as if it were my life, which I would do anything for. I became so consumed by the desire to grow stronger that I sought out ways beyond the natural path as a cultiv

Jordan’s eyes darted frantically, taking in the overwhelming chaos around him. In that same moment, as his gaze kept shifting, the translucent system screen reappeared midair with another message.Threat detected. Host is required to eliminate threat. There was something different about this second notification that had appeared on the translucent screen. Unlike before, the system didn’t identify the enemy simply as a demon. It labelled it as a threat.Threat current level: 90%. Another message reappeared.“What? But how? It just increased from seventy to ninety per cent…” Jordan mumbled in disbelief, the text before him got him dumbfounded..He hadn’t expected that—the demon’s level would skyrocket to a very high percentage. The previous level the demon was at was around level seventy, which, even with that, Jordan found it difficult to take him down. As Jordan stood there stunned, confusion written all across his face, the ground beneath him suddenly began to tremble. Dark smoke

“Mana level depleted. Current mana level: half gauge. Host is required to use the magical healing potion to recover and increase mana level.”Looking at the text displayed on the screen, Jordan had less time to decide, or he would be doomed. “I think this is my only choice, I wish I could do something apart from using this now. It won't be nice if I waste it at this stage I am, and at the same time I need this healing potion,” Jordan mumbled through his bleeding mouth, wrestling with his thought about using the healing potion. The healing potion in Jordan's possession is just one, that's why Jordan was having a hard time deciding. After the message appeared, Jordan knew this was his only option and then he finally made his choice to use the magical healing potion, and so he summoned it. In that instant, lightning erupted from his fingertips and in his grip held the magical healing potion, directly summoned from his system, but still, he wasn't ready to drink it down his throat; he

The words from Jordan strike Megan deep, as if tearing into his flesh, his anger boiled further.“You say?” Megan raised a brow. “That woman you are referring to as something that isn’t worth my anger was everything to me. And how dare you say those filthy words from your mouth?”“I’m only asking, not trying to offend you, you piece of crap,” Jordan replied. His voice was still heavy, trembling with exhaustion.Megan drew in a deep breath into his lungs before lifting his head toward Jordan. “And the most annoying thing of all,” Megan began, his tone sharp, dripping with menace, “was that they both got married after Valtor banished me from Sinclair. Imagine how that feels, betrayed and banished by your closest friend, taking away the only thing you cherish. I saw Valtor’s sneering face staring down at me when I was walking away with my bag, and I saw Flora—the woman he stole from me—mocking me at his side, her sneering face just as same as his. He didn’t just take her away from me, b

The Chi Breaker technique has complications and is way more difficult than it seems. To execute it, the user had to place his hands on the victim’s head for five full seconds—a time window far too long before the demon could react. But even with the complications, Jordan was ready to take the risk and do it. “This is the right time, and my only opening,” Jordan muttered inwardly as he pressed his hands firmly against the demon’s forehead.For a moment, it felt as if everything around them froze. Megan twisted his eyes upward toward Jordan’s hands, then suddenly fell to the ground.“Ahhhh! What have you done to me? What was that technique of yours? It's really killing me, ahhh the pain, I can feel it,” Megan roared as if feeling a kind of pain surging into him. Jordan breathed softly. He hadn’t expected the technique to work this easily. But his joy was shortened when Megan began to laugh.“Hehehe! What do you think you've done, brat? Do you think touching my head is enough to expose
