The Ultimate Devourer Splitting up
Ludeus's eyes were closed for a few seconds as flames appeared all around his body before he unleashed a ring of fire that covered around 600 meters front, back, and the sides of the plain we were on. It wasn't much, but the heat from the fire was stopping snow from gathering on the ground, and melting the one on the ground at the same time, he created three such rings and sat down on the ground after all the snow melted around us, he then took a meditative position, and all I could do was wait and watch. It took thirty minutes to melt all of the snow without attracting attention. The fire rings continued to stay active as Ludeus got up and looked around before frowning and saying: "There are no ruins, but they shouldn't know about the secret chamber that I left. You guys wait here, I will be back shortly, do notify me if anyone comes through." Ludeus disappeared, leaving me and Maria alone. It was an awkward silence that covered both of us, the snow continued to pour down from th
The Ultimate Devourer The elf capital
The undead elf's words entered my ears:"We have an army consisting of rangers that number in the hundreds of thousands, foot soldiers approximately three hundred thousand, mages fifty thousand, summoners fifty thousand."The army made up around seven hundred and fifty thousand in total, which wasn't a lot considering the human armies were way bigger, what I saw on the battlefield was only a fraction of the Churches' strength as they were most likely conspiring something at that location, which wasn't related to Ludeus. However, since Ludeus didn't make a fuss about it, it most likely wasn't very important.However, even though the number wasn't even one million, they all should be way stronger, making up for the lacking numbers, quality over quantity.I wasn't familiar with the abilities of bowmen and mages aside from necromancers, but I wasn't here to destroy the whole elven realm by myself. I was only preparing them for what was to come, weakening and confusing them.The undead was
The Ultimate Devourer The blood elves' insecurities
The guards guided me towards the underground city, we entered an alleyway that led us to a tunnel that went straight down, and with some magic, we arrived there in seconds.The place was quite beautiful, slightly dark, but well illuminated by some rocks that were inserted in the ceilings above us, from a distance I could see that the rocks had some light elementals that moved slightly inside them from time to time.The streets were full of people that had red hair, long ears, and immense amounts of energy in their bodies. The underground city was rather big as well, but all you could see were blood elves, meaning that the other humanized elves that lived below must have been evacuated to the surface of the city above.The guards left me there, but before they left they gave me some instructions:"You are not allowed to leave for three weeks. You and your people are in quarantine, so we can observe your behavior, and make sure the rumors we have heard about you aren't true, we don't wa
The Ultimate Devourer A normal family in a world of superpowers
After we made the promise, the dad waved at us and said:"Let's get in. I guess you are quite tired after your journey to the capital, right, son?"I nodded and made myself look a little bit weary as I said:"It's been a long trip from our home to this new place, and I had to sleep less due to possible ambushes from the dark elves' ambushers and assassins."The father looked at me with pity in his eyes as he patted my shoulder and said:"Go inside and sleep, son. You deserve it since you covered our back to escape."I nodded and entered the house along with Nua. The mother, who resembled Nua in all aspects while having a slightly more mature charm came to us from what seemed to be the library.She also had glasses on her face, just like the father. She wore a green dress that covered her whole body, not revealing any bit of skin.She had a book in her hands which she looked up from as she said:"Nua. And this should be that young man that was fortunate enough to survive the druids' pu
The Ultimate Devourer The council of elders
As I was being dragged around, people started to look at us, whispering to each other, and wondering what Nua's mother was doing with me, considering she was married.People loved to gossip, regardless of race, and it didn't take much time for some rumors to spread.But it wasn't like I cared, nor did Nua's mother.As we made our way through the city, we arrived at the biggest building that could be found around.It was a tower, ten meters tall. It was decorated with some big jewels on every floor on the outside, and the jewels in question were flickering with elemental light that was helpful to those who trained, rested, or simply lived inside the tower.This was a special location for the underground city, and I was quite surprised the humanized elves parted with this place so easily. Did the jewels have other functions that I couldn't decipher at first glance?My questions had to wait as we appeared at the entrance of the tower where Nua's mother knocked three times before waiting
The Ultimate Devourer Plans
All five elders were looking at me while Sikaw waited on the side.I made myself look as humble as possible as I started telling them what had 'happened':"I was making my way to the border of our forest after I had volunteered to be one of the people that remain back to stop the pursuing assassins when I encountered one of the dark elves' scouts, I was able to make short work of them after I used the blood hardening ability to clog their arteries briefly before killing them in one go."After that, I moved away from the forest, making my way through a plain where I met a group of assassins that almost claimed my life, I won't go into details about this fight as it would look too trivial to your highnesses, but in the end, I was able to escape with my life while also delaying the assassins from catching up to the civilians.""I was able to gather some information about the dark elves, but I'm not sure if it's news for the elders."One of the burly male elders said with an annoyed tone:
The Ultimate Devourer Planting seeds
When I arrived back at Nua's home, I was greeted by Nua's father, who approached me slowly, and then patted my shoulder before saying:"Hey there, Minato. I heard quite a lot of gossip about you and my wife. You didn't even taste the daughter, and you want the mother now?!"However, his words came with a joking tone as there was no malice in his eyes, it was quite obvious he didn't put the gossip into his heart, but he still had the time to joke around about it.He was a funny guy, I chuckled awkwardly and shook my head, making him laugh as he said:"Nua is inside. she said that if you are hungry, she will provide you with more blood."I nodded at him and decided to drink some more of her blood. It would be needed to get more memories about the blood elf tribe without having to ask around. That would lead to my cover being blown.I went inside the house as the father decided to leave us alone, her mother was nowhere in sight as we were the only ones in the house.Oh, they were already
The Ultimate Devourer A variable
Narwa had just finished the story when her husband walked in, seeing us talking to each other with no Nuwa in sight made him understand that she got quite exhausted after our 'actions'.He made a serious expression as he wanted to listen to the conversation, but it had already finished."What have you two been talking about?"Narwa looked at her husband and then told him that she had informed me about Nuwa's situation."Oh, so now you know why she had chosen you this quickly?"I nodded, and responded:"It seems like she is on the rebound after losing her former boyfriend, and she is now leaning on me for support because I'm one of the survivors, she is most likely projecting his image over mine."Narwa's eyes widened as she listened to my logical and mature response. Even though I was young, that didn't mean the bandits didn't teach me how to seduce, it all came in the same pack with acting!Getting a heartbroken woman on the rebound was rather easy, but it wasn't going to be a long o

The 'Heroes' of the universe fall? (Finale)
(WARNING, VERY LONG CHAPTER AHEAD!) The devil's red eyes were hypnotizingly horrid as they taunted me insidiously. The way he raised his eyebrow as he kept the leaders of the alliance bay e made me know that he was slowly getting his strength back. Sooner or later, he would be able to push both of them back and kill them! His body language told it so, the facts told it so, and the two alliance leaders knew it as well, it was obvious from the perspiration that was flowing down from their foreheads that things weren't as good as they seemed on the surface. Was death that close to me? I could feel blood gurgling in my throat as the devil sent a claw through space to immediately appear in front of my throat and pierce it. However, my instincts were still as sharp as ever, so I was able to barely take a step back before the claw would fully penetrate my throat and tear it out. I glared at the offending appendage that almost ripped my throat out, but a finger snap made the insides of

Waiting for reinforcements in vain
The devil didn't have enough time to retrieve all of his fragments, thus stopping at the strength of around 24 mastered laws. However, this amount of strength was still too high for me to deal with. The two alliance leaders nodded at each other before looking at me and saying: "You have done your best, but your incompetent allies dragged you down, you can go now, there is nothing you could do in this type of fight anymore." I wanted to leave since I was given permission, but could I? The devil's red eyes targeted me immediately after he regained his bearings from being hit by the dual uppercut. "You... yes, the fragments told me about you." "You have interfered with me countless times, do you think that I will let you go that easily?!" The devil opened his mouth and started to spit flames at me, his gigantic body immediately shrunk to a smaller human-sized form as he fought back and forth with the two alliance leaders, he knew that he wouldn't be able to recover all of his frag

Despair
I could feel my hearts jump into my throat as I looked at the recovering magic circle, I failed?I clutched my chest as I growled at the encircling demons, making them take a few steps back as they understood that they were way over their heads by attempting to attack me, even though I haven't fully recovered my energy after I launched that nuke at the immobile devil fragments, the 17 laws that flowed around my body created an impenetrable shield that not many people would be able to break.The demons may be scared by me, but they were all emboldened by the fact that one of the fragments had survived and melded with the magic circle!I wasn't entirely sure what the circle was supposed to do, but it was certainly nothing good.I wanted to fly towards it and break it apart now that there was no one to protect it, but the demons that were previously scared of me started to create a wall of bodies as they tightened the encirclement around me, the morale of the alliance had already dropped

The devil makes his move
The distance between the two black difficulty planets was quite far away, so it took me ten hours of traveling at my quickest speed to reach it.This time around, this new planet was on full defensive mode, the fragment I killed must have told the other nearby awakened pieces about what I had done to him before his death.But at this point, where my strength had reached a whooping 17 laws, 4 of them being a specialization law, how could the flimsy barrier around this planet even withstand my strength?I punched forward, making the barrier crack and break without even having to find its weak spots.The demons that were on standby for defense crumbled along with the barrier from the shockwaves of my initial attack...Most of them were weaklings that didn't even learn one law, it looked like the devil only left behind cannon fodder...There were no ambushes as I dropped down on the planet, the weaklings that were dumb enough to get near me were squashed to death by my aura as I didn't ev

Organ changes
The organs of the devil fragment were certainly quite larger compared to the demons or other races that I have encountered up till now.They had a certain heavy weight to them, and I could feel that they were hard to the touch, almost like a rock.They were also in different shapes compared to the average human, or even the average humanoid specie.The heart was in a triangle shape, the lungs were square, and the liver was just like a small ball.The intestines were quite short as they seemed to have evolved for utmost efficiency in energy conversion from the stomach to the whole body.I continued to analyze the shapes of the organs before I couldn't help but be curious about their taste.I took the triangle heart with both hands since it was quite heavy and big, and I started munching on it, splattering some blood on my face.The taste was very bland, toxic even, the organs of the devil were filled with a certain poisonous substance that even bypassed the poison-proof constitution th

Test running ten laws
After comforting Shira for a bit, I could feel my hands becoming quite itchy as I felt the need to test my newly gained strength.Even though the seven laws I have plundered could be considered inferior, quantity could still be used to crush the quality opposition when it was in a high enough number.As long as my opponent had eight or below laws, I should be able to easily deal with them, as for nine and above. I had to fight someone at that level to understand my place on the strength scales a little better.I wasn't sure about the powers of the top dogs of the universe, so I had to slowly find out while messing with the devil's plans in passing.A fully awakened devil fragment who was able to get his hands on the seven sins would be equal to a normal being that had learned and mastered seven laws.He would be the perfect test partner.Fortunately, I could easily infer the location of such heavily infected planets through the alliance's medal.I was able to find out about the locati

Researching the devouring ability
After we left the vacation planet, we started to attack low-level corrupted planets that had a few law-wielding demons.The experimentation started from there.I started by dissecting the demons and seeing how the laws were embedded in their bodies after they have mastered them.I have attempted to learn from introspection, but I could not properly see all angles inside my body, and some places were obscured for some reason.Now, by dissecting these weaker demons, I was able to infer how the laws would settle in the body, and by extension, I might be able to learn how I could apply the devouring ability to strip them of their laws and make them mine.From what I found out, the first law would settle near the heart in the form of the element that was comprehended.The second would go onto one lung, the third on the other...Atleast that's what I thought it would go like considering that I was only able to slay and dissect demons that wielded up to 2 laws.I was able to somewhat see the

Concrete theories about the time law
With the usage of a few bribes and some 'honeyed words' I was able to immediately regain control over the organization.I sat in the control room of the barrier as I made some adjustments to it, slowly incorporating the runes and other features that I have been able to master during the time I have been controlling the Ice Palace's barrier.This place needed an upgrade, and all I had to do was change a few things on the medium to make those changes, no extra materials were needed! Quite convenient.I had to fill my time with something while my underlings were doing their best to find out the things that I inquired about.Surprisingly, this academy had a library with quite a lot of books filled with neat tidbits of information. However, during my time in the academy, I didn't seem to be able to find such a library, even though I had visited most of the corridors and other important rooms of the academy...Quite strange...I even asked Shira if she knew that the academy had a library, b

Shira's changes
Shira seemed to be the same, but also quite different at the same time, almost as if she was a familiar person that I haven't seen in a long while that changed so much that she was almost unrecognizable, but I would still know her because of small things, like her voice, her face, etc...Shira took my hand into hers, it was cold, very cold, it looked like she had entirely changed from her previous fire-based nature to an ice one, such a drastic shift... it should have been really painful and deadly for her.And she didn't even come to me even once when she thought about doing such a thing, was she thinking for my sake, or did she think that I would dissuade her from doing such a perilous experiment?I hugged her tightly, and she hugged me back, while her appearance and demeanor had small changes, her personality seemed to be the same.Shira giggled lightly as she broke off the hug and said:"Oww, you were worried about me?"I nodded lightly at her question and asked with a little worr
