New World
The High Demon

Alan and Flyin began to descend the rocky hill and would soon enter Pripyat. Alan felt disappointed after seeing Pripyat from a distance. From the top of the hill Pripyat can be seen very clearly. Unlike what he had imagined, Pripyat was only the area where the demons lived in groups. Simple building made of brown rocks lined in the area.

Alan thinks that the building is the home of the demons. It was obvious that if the Demons did not care much about where they lived, the most important thing for them was that they could live. That's all!

"Don't assume for yourself!" Flyin who could read Alan's thoughts immediately refuted Alan's thoughts about the Demon's life globally.

"You mean?" Alan raised both eyebrows, trying to trace the meaning of Flyin's words.

"Pripyat is just a small area on the outskirts of the Abyss world. The world of the Abyss is vast, you need to take a look for yourself before determining your opinion."

Alan was silent, more precisely embarrassed. He was ashamed of Flyin because he immediately assumed the lives of the demons globally after seeing one area on the outskirts of the Abyss world. How shallow is his thinking after deciding one thing by looking at one circumstance. Everything Flyin said was true. Sometimes the assumption of one's mind can plunge into things that are not true, everything needs to be ascertained before issuing our thoughts.

A few pairs of Demon eyes went straight to Alan and Flyin who had just entered Pripyat. Their gazes were so cynical, as if they would dislike the arrival of the comers. Alan and Flyin certainly regarded the Demon's gaze as the last wind. They entered Pripyat just to pass by, not to collide with the eyes of the Demon inhabitants of Pripyat.

Alan glanced to the right and to the left along the way, trying to avoid looking directly at the Demons who were just standing by the roadside. Alan seems confused by life in Pripyat. He did not see any trading areas or fields. Then how did these Demons survive? Is it true that they only rely on hunting monsters as a supporter of their lives?

The answer to Alan's question was immediately answered after he felt the body heat of someone approaching him. Alan glanced at the source of the heat he felt, but did not find what was the source of the heat.

The heat source continued to follow Alan and Flyin, to a road where many Demons were passing by in the middle of the road. Alan did not know what the Demons were doing, because as far as Alan could see, the passing Demons were only walking from one building to another.

"Any?" Alan already felt something unnatural.

And it's true... The heat source that Alan felt was now directly behind Alan's body. Alan could also feel if a small wind was moving against his neck. Alan immediately reacted by raising his gauntlet-protected right hand.

Thang's...

A knife was immediately thrown after hitting the gauntlet in Alan's right hand. Alan was surprised to find a knife that appeared suddenly. Alan reacted by directing the blow towards the source of heat that was behind his body.

Bruck...

Alan's Gauntlet seemed to hit something, but Alan still could not see what figure hit the gauntlet. Alan only realized that he had attacked a Demon after a Demon appeared suddenly arrived at the wall of the building in the direction of Alan's punch.

[High Demon.]

A warning from the system appeared in Alan's screen view after seeing the Demon figure he had just hit.

"Oh... We're under attack?" Alan still had his face. Not expecting himself to be the victim of a silent murder.

"Heart of the Lord... It seems like these Demons have no good intentions." Flyin.

Alan only chuckled at Flyin's words. Is there a good demon? Wasn't the Demon always portrayed as an evil figure?

"Don't assume sir!" Flyin once again reminded Alan. That was only reciprocated with a nod of the head from Alan.

"Don't shut up! Quickly finish them off!" Shouted the Demon who was still holding his stomach and leaning against the wall of the building. It seems clear that he still feels pain from the blow that Alan gave.

The demons present in the place instantly drew their weapon weapons. Some carried swords, spears, morning stars, and others. But one thing Alan can make sure, the quality of their weapons is far from good. You could say bad.

"Flyein... Give them to me!" Alan certainly did not want to waste the opportunity to be able to gather the souls of the Demons. He had just learned of another way to activate the Shadow Blood within his body. Now comes the opportunity to do so. Alan certainly accepted this opportunity with an open heart.

"You sure Sir?" Flyin.

Alan simply replied with his mischievous smile. It was as if he did not mind Flyin's question. "alright... But please heart... I'm not prepared to give a report on your death to Mr. Azazel." Flyin also stepped out to pull over from the middle of the road, ignoring the gazes of the Demons who were looking at him sharply.

"Have beans?" Flyin asked one of the Demons standing beside him. Trying to get a snack as a friend watching the fight. Flyin's question was only answered by glaring at the Demon's red eyes.

"I assume it's not."

"You guys... Come forward... I am enough to be your opponent... Let's play..." Alan took his short sword and dagger. Prepare to face the demons that are in the place.

The Demon was instantly enraged upon hearing Alan's extremely controversial words. They certainly want to teach Alan a lesson in how hard the Abyss world lives.

[The Demon.]

Over 30 advanced Demons attacked Alan from several sides. Alan looked at the data shown by the system, and only found if the advanced Demons attacking him were merely Common Demons.

Alan dodged the attack after attack that led to him. The demon that surrounded Alan was nothing more than a Common monster, the difference they had in mind. Alan had no significant obstacles to dodge every attack while simultaneously landing a counterattack with both weapons he held.

Alan must admit... The bodies of the Demons that attacked him were so strong. Time and again Alan landed an attack towards their vital point, but could not directly break through it. Alan had to incur wounds after wounds before launching an ultimate attack on the Demons.

"Did they just rely on physical attacks?" Alan pondered a little, because he did not encounter any magic attacks that led to him. All the attacks that led to him were purely physical attacks, without any interference from magic or other powers.

"Black Breath!"

Alan jumped up while spouting poisonous gas towards the demons that surrounded him. Poisonous gas instantly billowed, enveloping the Demons who were besieging Alan.

"Uarghs..."

"Uarghs..."

The moans of the Demons who felt pain from being hit by Alan's Black Breath. Not only were the pains in the throat and chest, they were also unable to move within the puff of the poisonous gas. Alan also freely finish off one after another Demon that surrounded him. Alan could not finish them off directly because of their powerful bodies, Alan needed to at least land three attacks on vital areas before getting one Demon killed.

It was only after the duration of Black Breath was completely exhausted, Alan managed to complete the work of slaughtering the Demons. Alan was dissatisfied, considering he usually only needed 30 seconds at most to eliminate his enemy's enemies in Black Breath.

Flyin who saw what Alan was doing smiled a little. Honestly, he was a little surprised by what Alan just did. "Delivering toxic gases? Hem... Looks like there's a lot I still don't know about him... It'll be interesting."

"It looks like I should start thinking about my STR as well..." Alan murmured while clearing the green blood that was fouling both of his weapons. Alan flicked his two weapons so that they could quickly clear from the green blood that was dirtying him.

Thang's...

Once again Alan fended off an attack that Alan did not know its origin. Alan only felt the body heat that was nearby. Alan tried to counterattack with his sword, but only the air that he slashed through.

Thang's...

Thang's...

Many times Alan had to fend off attacks that he did not know where he came from, and many times he retaliated but did not hit anything.

Alan who was irritated finally issued his crowd control skill.

"Tornado Dance!"

A tornado instantly appeared near Alan standing up. Forcibly withdraw anything nearby, except Alan of course. Even Flyin who is on the side of the road must strengthen his legs so as not to be sucked by the tornado that suddenly appeared.

"Yeah..." A scream was heard from inside the tornado. Alan immediately turned his gaze towards the source of the sound. The High Demon that he had just hit was being dragged by the tornado that Alan let out.

Alan immediately jumped into the tornado, unfolded his wings and directed the wind around him. Making Alan able to fly near the High Demon.

"Canon Claw!"

Alan did not want to speculate on his attack by simply landing the usual attack on the High Demon. Alan had already seen for himself how powerful the Common Demon's body was, let alone the High Demon? Of course his body must be stronger.

The High Demon's body immediately shot sharply over the ground after it was hit hard by the claws in Alan's gauntlet.

Booms...

Alan instantly eliminated his tornado dance skill, and landed beside the High Demon's body. Alan could see if the High Demon's daei stomach was slightly hollowed out due to his punch, but the High Demon was still not dead either.

"It's very strong..." Even Alan's strongest attack could not kill the High Demon with a single strike, signaling how powerful the High Demon's body was.

Alan also put a wolf fang pyiton on his dagger and prepared to end the Demon's life. Alan was sure that with the help of his poeton, it would be easier to kill the High Demon.

Alan prepared to stick his sword into the scar he made.

Thang's...

Alan's sword never reached its target, there was a hand holding his sword. Stopping the movement from his sword. Alan was surprised to see someone who could fend off his sword with his bare hands, considering he had already smeared wolf fang poiton on his sword.

But Alan was even more shocked after seeing who had stopped his attack just now.
