Demon King
Chapter 132 Predation [7]

“You are no different!” A man with Chaos Soul shouted, dying on the beautiful beaches of Florida with dark blood and soul. All the people guarding him are dead and preyed upon by the Predation I shared with the party before.

“You are a soul-eating monster like me!” His headquarters were in New York, but he himself hid here in Florida with only a small number of elite bodyguards. At first, I wondered if he really had Chaos Soul because he was stronger than Lee Minha, but he did not make such a big fuss.

Kohohohohoh!

“It's there!” Grey smoke filled the air and flowed towards us ominously.

[Is that a higher power entity, Captain?]

“Cannot be. It was only the power of the body that had the soul connected. It's similar to what we've faced so far. ”

[.. It seems I want to vomit.]

Tighten the shields so there are no casualties, Katsuragi. The strategy of elves against humans was very effective. Humans would kill anyone their way if it meant they could become stronger and stand in the middle of this world. It had not been long since they had started their plan with Chaos Souls, passing it on to humans, yet it had spread so far because of that.

“Fate, I want to punish him.”

“Any heard it from you everyone, Mireina.”

“Why did you attack your own? The soul is precious…! ”

“...Yes?” Everything went according to Elakatra and L. I have retreated too much before. ”

“You will devour it too! I will be the ruler of America - no, the world! ”

“Lee Chan - yu, Mireina. I leave it to you. ”

“I can't win!”

“Stay win.”

“Even if you say it lightly, we can't do what we can't do, damn it!” While speaking, Lee Chan-yu turns into a werewolf and runs towards the man. Mireina was determined to stand firm from the start, following him with a dagger. I can see them focusing on the situation.

[Captain, are you.?]

“Maybe.” There was hardly any time left until Devil's Night. I am thinking of pulling them off the front lines if I can see their potential to develop here. Lee Chan-yu's claws glowed with Predation's dark energy, tearing the shoulders of this deteriorating monster as it tried to flood him with waves of dark souls. Lee Chan-yu was recently about to undergo a critical attack and fall at that moment, but now he is able to handle the Predation's power. I can feel it flowing through me through our connections.

“Khhhh!” Mireina followed right behind him. He jumps between Lee Chan-yu and the souls who have gathered into the shape of a sword.

“If we win, I get a kiss!”

“No!” I was worried I would bother him, but it turned out fine. He sent an attack towards me, but I stretched my hand forward and absorbed it. That was the biggest reason I wasn't too worried about them; he was focused on me behind him, so he couldn't exert all his ability to attack them. As I was thinking that, he started to show movements that I did not expect.

“Guooo!”

“Huh ...” It formed into a huge soul mass that soared into the air, so far, it was hard to see. It began to absorb the natural mana from the air to increase its size. I almost felt sorry for it.

“Difficult to control..”

“Ha, can you really eat me? You too will be my prey! ” The man yells angrily while holding Mireina and Lee Chan-yu back. Even though he burned mana, he still had plenty of leftovers. I hate to think of how many people died to give him that power. My sister gasped for a moment before stepping forward, but I raised my hand to stop her.

“Brother!”

“I know you want to help, but Mireina and Lee Chan-yu should get the experience gained from killing that person.”

“Kh ..” Contaminated soul balls pull mana from any direction and turn it into a destructive force. Finally, he began to fall as fast as he got up. That, towards where we are fighting now.

“Katsuragi.”

[I can't stop it!]

“Focus using your defense magic. I'll handle the rest. ” I started using Predation and Lunatic Trickster simultaneously, infusing Katsuragi defense magic with both. My targets are Lee Chan-yu and Mireina. I could see the soul orbs gradually getting bigger as they approached. Meanwhile, the two of them continuously attacked the enemy without being distracted. They trust me to take care of it.

“After all I will die, so why should I stop?”

“Our goal is something bigger than an idiot like you!” Lee Chan-yu's claws tore through his face, destroying the human body that was nothing more than an outer shell. A terrifying pupa-like monster's face revealed itself, groaning at him.

[Idiot? That's her!]

Is that the signal? The soul ball engulfed the entire space, falling to the ground. Katsuragi's shield met him, held him for a moment, and then exploded with a loud bang. It triggers the Lunatic Trickster, depletes all power in the sphere, and transfers it to Lee Chan-yu and Mireina.

Oho!

[Unbelievable..!].

Shouts exploded from the three.

“Brother, what are you doing ?!”

“Now your chance! Do now!” I don't have time to listen to my brother. I poured enormous power into them at once. Now, they had to endure it until they were promoted. That's gonna be hard.

“There is a limit to how far you can push them!”

“They will not die.”

[Omong empty...!]

Uhhh! Lee Chan-yu moves first. I wondered if his body would explode instantly, but instead, he pushed his right arm forward as if firing a cannon. The tip of that large and sharp claw was the focal point of mana, facing right at the head of the monster.

[Damn ... die!]

Realizing Lee Chan-yu's movements, the man tries to destroy her with his momentum. The two attacks were expecting the deaths of each other, completely ignoring the defense. Every attack attacked. The man's head broke, and Lee Chan-yu's head was crushed in two. The roar of impact made me think the sky was about to collapse.

“Ahhhhh!”

[Kuooaaahhh!]

Both of them regenerated almost instantly and were destroyed again quickly. They try to overwhelm the regeneration of others.

[Did?!]

Right now, Mireina's dagger found its way to the monster's heart. His quick and secretive movements made me wonder if he had awakened the Reaper himself, but it was not enough to kill the monster. It was not enough to stab him in the heart. You have no choice but to extract their energy source with Predation. But Mireina soon exceeded my expectations.

[That is.].

“Now!” A bright white light erupted from his dagger, denying and destroying all the elements that formed the monster's body. That is the power I have from the memory of myself. The power that is the enemy of Jinma, possessed by the elves. Which mana could weaken Jinma mana. It was an absolute defense that he had learned, now expressed aggressively.

The change of mana was only possible because Mireina managed to survive and defend her soul from the other creatures in the Rookie Battlefield and repeatedly fought with the contaminated souls. Mireina, which was considered expendable by L and Elakatra, was called a hybrid by Rain and the others, not caring at all. He embodies the purest and most powerful ability among our ranks.

[Ohhhh!]

My worries for Mireina evaporated. Once this battle was over, a major change would occur.

“Lee Chan-yu, don't lose!”

“Of course!” Lee Chan-yu's attack followed right behind. He continued to wail at the enemy, biting and tearing it. The end came soon after. First of all, once he fails to destroy us with the ball, his defeat is obvious. Now the end has shortened due to Mireina's unexpected awakening.

“Hahah!” After the enemy is killed, the mana that formed him is absorbed into Lee Chan-yu. Whether he can break his limits or not. He roared loudly as he accepted the mana. Mireina has changed too. All the mana that was composing his flesh changed drastically, tearing his clothes apart. I quickly threw clothes at him to block his appearance before Katsuragi could respond.

[Why? Why?!]

“No.” I kicked Katsuragi, who was screaming, and waited for their evolution to end.

“My brother, can I become a higher entity?”

“Well, I don't know if it's possible for humans. Since it is difficult, I wonder if these people are driven to try this terrifying method called Chaos Soul. ”

“I don't want to do that!” He jumped up and shouted in disdain. I gave her a smile and stroked her head as she began to pout.

“If I become stronger ... I will achieve it in my own strength.”

“I will help as much as I can.”

“There are things that my brother cannot help..”.

“Then give up.”

“It's not fair.” I didn't tell him that I wasn't sure humans could reach that level. But, to my sister, who was linked to me by the chain of Dominions then perhaps…

I didn't open my mouth because I didn't want to give him false hope. We walked up to greet the two, who had finished evolving into higher level entities.
