Gabriel knew all too well that if the Empire's people arrived, he would not only lose his chance to develop in peace but might even lose his life.
With the extraordinary memory of a demon, he clearly recalled the direction the villagers had taken when they left.
He flapped his wings fiercely, and the powerful gusts of wind caused the surrounding trees to sway violently. In an instant, he shot into the sky like a bolt of black lightning, leaving behind a sharp, whistling sound. Soon, his keen eyes spotted the group of villagers hurrying along their way.
A cruel smile curled at the corners of Gabriel's mouth as he folded his wings and dove towards them like a shooting star, moving so swiftly that only a blurred shadow remained.
"What was that sound?"
One villager suddenly halted, anxiety etched on his face as he looked up, beads of sweat instantly forming on his forehead.
Before they could react, Gabriel appeared before them like a specter. An icy, bone-chilling aura radiated from him, making the air around them feel as if it had solidified in an instant. The villagers felt a wave of cold rush from their feet to the top of their heads.
One villager trembled, his voice shaking as his legs gave way beneath him, collapsing to the ground with terror and despair in his eyes.
"D-Demon!"
With horns sprouting from his head, wings on his back, and scales covering his body, he was a grotesque figure that was more than human yet not quite a monster. What else could he be but a demon?
"Lord Demon, we won't reveal your existence. Please spare us."
"Spare us."
Now they regretted ever thinking they could do such a thing.
But it was too late for regrets. Gabriel approached one villager and extended his hand; his sharp claws pierced through the man's chest like blades.
Blood gushed forth, splattering across Gabriel's face, yet he remained utterly unfazed.
Seeing this, the other villagers turned in terror and attempted to flee, their steps frantic and clumsy. But how could they escape?
Gabriel's figure flickered, darting through the crowd like a black phantom. With each strike, a scream followed. His sharp claws sliced through the air, leaving trails of blood as villagers fell one after another into pools of crimson, quickly staining the land.
"Only the mouths of the dead are truly sealed," Gabriel said coldly, surveying the corpses on the ground.
After dealing with these informants, he followed the river to reach other villages.
In just one day of his frenzied slaughter, three villages had been reduced to ruins.
His strength had already reached a level where he could break through to Mid-tier Demon.
"It's time to find a place to properly advance," Gabriel thought to himself.
"With the power of a Lesser Demon, it's hard to survive in a war of this scale. Only by growing stronger can I control my own fate."
However, if he were to advance to Mid-tier Demon, it would inevitably leak demonic energy. This would attract some of the natives from this world.
"That could be troublesome," Gabriel frowned, falling into deep thought.
After considering his options, Gabriel decided to return to the forest he had visited before. That forest was a chaotic mix of creatures and energies; even if he leaked some of his aura, it would be hard to detect.
Even if he were noticed, the forest was vast and its environment complex and ever-changing—valleys, caves, dense thickets—if he burrowed deep within, no one would find him.
With this in mind, Gabriel spread his wings and flew toward the forest, leaving behind the villages he had destroyed and the endless darkness.
...
In the forest, Gabriel found a secluded valley surrounded by towering cliffs and jagged rocks. A thin mist enveloped the valley floor, shrouding everything in a hazy veil. In the center of the valley stood a massive black rock, its surface rough and covered in moss. Gabriel slowly approached the rock, sat cross-legged beside it, closed his eyes, and began to gather his magical power.
"System, allocate points!"
Gabriel unhesitatingly used all the Upgrade Points he had earned from destroying several villages.
[Strength] +1 +1 +1 +1
[Speed] +1 +1 +1
……
Gabriel's breathing gradually became deep and steady, and his body began to tremble slightly. A faint Black Radiance emerged from his skin, shimmering like a flowing liquid. As time passed, the Black Radiance grew denser, enveloping him entirely and forming a massive Black Light Cocoon.
Within the Light Cocoon, Gabriel's body was undergoing intense transformation.
He was faced with a choice—what kind of demon he would evolve into.
Unlike the countless minor demons, the higher-tier demons took on various forms.
Even the Shenzhen Dukes were unsure of how many types of demons existed.
Moreover, evolving into different demons came with distinct characteristics and advantages.
Common types included Flame Demon and Great Horned Demon…
The Flame Demon was a prevalent type among demons, known for its fiery temperament, love for magma, ability to devour flames, immunity to fire-based powers, and strong combat abilities.
The Great Horned Demon, on the other hand, was robust in stature with few special abilities but had one defining trait—immense strength. Correspondingly, it possessed high resistance to various magical and physical attacks, with few weaknesses.
“Which one should I choose?”
“I think I’ll go with the Flame Demon!”
“It has strong combat power and can grow stronger by devouring flames.”
“While it may not be as balanced as the Great Horned Demon, it can quickly develop into a High-Level Demon in certain fire attribute abyss layers.”
With that, Gabriel decided to advance and become a Flame Demon.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the forest began to grow chaotic. Countless magical energies converged here, and the once peaceful sound of the wind turned into a howling gale, causing trees to sway violently. The surrounding animals sensed this powerful and evil force and fled in terror. Some weaker creatures even collapsed on the ground, rendered unable to move.
Gabriel's magical power surged within him like a roaring tide, and his consciousness seemed to enter an endless dark space.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted from the Black Light Cocoon, shattering the Light Cocoon in an instant. Powerful magical energy radiated outward from Gabriel, dispersing the mist in the valley and causing surrounding rocks to explode into countless fragments.
Gabriel slowly opened his eyes, flames flickering in his gaze; he had successfully broken through to become a Mid-tier Demon.
“I’ve finally become a Mid-tier Demon!”
At that moment, as his strength returned, the World Will had already sensed this foreign demon.
Previously, Gabriel had used Blood Demon Disintegration, which masked his presence due to its low intensity, and with so many demons in the world, he had gone unnoticed for a time.
But now that Gabriel had not only broken through but advanced to a Mid-tier Demon, he was immediately detected by the World Will.
At this moment, the World Will was engaged in a fierce struggle against a powerful Demon Lord in another dimension, stretched thin and unable to directly mobilize the world's power to deal with Gabriel. However, it would not sit idly by; it began subtly hinting to the inhabitants of Kairit World.
In an Ancient Temple, the flickering candlelight cast dancing shadows on the walls, creating an atmosphere that was both mysterious and solemn. The High Priest, adorned in a magnificent robe and wearing a Divine Crown embedded with jewels, was deep in meditation. His brow furrowed, his expression grave.
The gods had bestowed another revelation.
It had been three thousand years since the last divine message.
What calamity was upon them this time?
Could it be related to the recent invasion from another world?
Could even the Legendary Mage not stop them?
Yet, all the High Priest received was a vague directive.
"To the west... stop... disaster..."
A disaster was to occur in the west?
Without hesitation, the High Priest commanded,
"Temple Knights, head west."
"Search for it, at any cost."
"Understood!" The attendants in the temple responded in unison, their voices clear and resonant.
