"What is this..." It was clear that Hander felt a mysterious turmoil from inside the dome; his hands couldn't even move. "Could it be...?" He grew increasingly panicked, struggling with all his might to free himself.Desmon suddenly increased his energy, the miasma swirling him seeming to dance around his body. His mouth opened wide, and slowly all the miasma was drawn into him.Even the atmospheric pressure that ensued had to be endured by Henberg and Houjin; after it was all over, their bodies couldn't move, frozen in fear Desmon's power now possessed."His strength has increased!" Henberg uttered, unable to stop himself."Hahahahaha... finally, I never expected the power I've held for so long would return to this body!" His joyous face turned towards the two, a sinister grin signaling death.Whoosh...In seconds, Desmon was chasing them, targeting Henberg."You're the first to have ever imprisoned me, and now you'll feel the wrath I've harbored for years..."Kaboom...Foolish to st
Desmon emerged from the dense black smoke, as it could be guessed the earlier attack had no effect. He was still in good condition, staring with a threatening glare."As I expected, that you are indeed a demon not easily destroyed...""Hahaha... look who joined the party! I never expected you to show up here. It's true that among all the opponents, you're the only one I admitted! But, even with your body, are you still able to face me...?"Hander's eyes narrowed, indicating that Desmon understood the current situation. While recovering the seal, Hander's condition was continually eroded by miasma energy. And, engaging in a fight at this time seemed futile.Not long after, Desmon's body emitted a massive energy, which turned out to be the previous miasma.The once clear air was now contaminated again."He intends to weaken me...""That's right, I won't allow someone like you to win here!"Hander chuckled at Desmon's statement. "Does that mean you're afraid of my presence here?""You ba
Everyone was aware of this rapidly spreading anomaly, their eyes fixed in the same direction. Full of question marks about this strangeness.Barnom seriously checked the report available, he was suddenly shocked by this spreading energy, and so was Leian, who was also gaping to feel the threatening pressure."Damn, why do I feel like something far worse is going to happen, and after this, surely destruction will come to every creature..." Barnom muttered. Doubtfully, he looked towards the sky.From the events that occurred, only one person survived, and that was Houjin. While Desmon was carrying out his actions, he skillfully waited for the right time to hide. Indeed, this was an unethical action, but he preferred to die at the hands of others it was bad.After enduring the pain of leaving, he arrived at the previous teleportation circle, appearing at Henberg's residence.Gilbert, who had been waiting since earlier, approached Houjin who had collapsed. He saw blood staining the worn-o
After Desmond's hand was severed, Noire jumped back. He curled up, clutching the end of his left sleeve, blood continuing to drip until he could no longer scream."Darn it, I underestimated him!" Noire exclaimed, feeling restless. Even if he had both hands, he might still be able to act, but after losing one hand, it meant there weren't many options left for him."What's wrong?" Meanwhile, Desmond felt happy after that. He had received attacks from Noire several times, but it had no effect whatsoever; it was only Noire who seemed to be in a bad state."I thought you would be able to stand up to me..." Noire squinted regretfully, realizing he had to resort to such an attack. Now he had no techniques that could possibly defeat Desmond."What should I do..." His eyes widened in shock as Desmond's body suddenly appeared in front of him.Dash...A powerful blow struck his abdomen, making Noire feel like he wanted to vomit. He fell to the ground, clutching his stomach."Quite disappointing
The actions Desmon took did not evoke any sense of pride in Gaster's heart; instead, what was uttered seemed like a slight to his own power.Gaster thought, "He easily blocked my attacks earlier, and I couldn't push further. He possesses far greater strength than I imagined!" He tried to devise a plan utilizing his members, but only those less skilled in combat were left. Meanwhile, Meira and Noire had fallen in pitiful conditions.There were no good options left; he had to be willing to expend all his power to defeat Desmon. A great surge of power flowed significantly within his body, shaking every joint.Desmon chose to remain silent, wanting to gauge the extent of Gaster's strength.It was truly unbelievable to the members today, the most respected person was exerting immense energy, power that had never been used for years.Gaster's power began to soar, merging into his body as a special enhancement shield."Are you done?" Desmon asked casually."Yes, I'm done doing it!" replied G
The terrifying news of Desmon's actions had spread to every region, each area preparing itself for the arrival of this ferocious creature, but they understood the historical records of Desmon's power should not be underestimated.The leaders from various regions finally held an impromptu meeting to devise a strategy in an attempt to stop Desmon, knowing well that relying on physical strength wouldn't be enough.Gilbert as the son of a regional leader, also had to attend. He was advised to be there by his father and Houjin, a respected hermit.Five leaders were present: Brown from Turnera, Greff as Gilbert's father and leader of Barnora, Heizal leader of Tonordop, Seila leader of the Sonola region, and Marlo leader of Genoma.Famous hermits were also present; they all had to participate in this complex issue. Houjin, Leian, Barnom, and one hermit who hadn't been present before, now appeared, named Yelia.The discussion hadn't begun yet, but they were confused about how to proceed. Addr
In the end, they still found themselves at an impasse in determining all these problems, even though they tried to find solutions, it was too contradictory to the situation they were facing, many of which might become obstacles.Gilbert suddenly hands up; he felt that now was the right time for him to do so."What's going on, and I apologize, who are you?" Sceial asked.It's no wonder they didn't recognize Gilbert's face, a son quite unfamiliar to many. Of course, his presence wasn't significant at all.Gilbert bravely stood up. "My name is Gilbert, I am here as a student of Henberg and the son of Griff!"Everyone was immediately shocked to hear this; information about Henberg until now was quite secretive, especially since Henberg also didn't really want to communicate with others, so this was left as it was."Henberg's student..." Barnom murmured with a surprised expression.For the hermits, Gilbert's energy within his body wasn't too dominant, not like Henberg, who was famous for h
The tension etched within the room made the air hotter, not merely exchanging glances but spreading an intense aura filled with fear as if choking everything present."The air in this room is so hot!" muttered Leian as he fanned himself with his fingers. "If I may suggest, why don't you just answer immediately? Why wasn't the meeting requested by Henberg attended?"Yelia glanced towards Leian, who seemed to mock her as well, slowly exhaling a long breath."Alright, I'll explain it, because at that time, I didn't want to die..."An unexpected response, coming from a formidable hermit like Yelia, to say such a thing. Indeed, by cultivating energy, one could prolong their life, but it wouldn't stop aging.From the preserved beauty, they could conclude that Yelia was speaking the truth."Afraid of death? Is that the only reason you have?" snapped Barnom."Yes, what else?" Yelia paused briefly before continuing, "I had no ulterior motives. I understand that there might have been important
