The Ultimate Devourer The secrets of the desert
To travel underground, I slightly punched the sand, creating a hole where I and the shadowy being dropped directly inside.When we reached a stop, I would punch again, creating another hole that led us forward into the underground, making our way farther and farther until I got to a place that I could not break using my whole strength.That's where I started to move to the side, trying to find a location I could break and then drop into that underground pocket where I couldn't break the soil.Slowly I reached a place where I could break while not getting too far away from that position where I was unable to move further.That's where I and the shadowy being fell into an underground cavern that was very dimly illuminated.The location was very dark, and I could barely make out a temple that stretched out in front of us even with my superior eyesight, meaning that whatever was around here was messing with my senses.The shadowy being was silent up till now, but after they were able to c
The Ultimate Devourer A ledger
The shadowy being tried to struggle out of my grip, but it was impossible since no matter how strong it got through the fusion of the souls, it couldn't get as strong as me in such a short amount of time.After all, if the experiment was successful, Alliron wouldn't have left their souls here to transform into those blank shadows.I slowly made my way down the stairs with the solid amalgamation of souls in my grasp, keeping it close to me so it wouldn't try any escape attempts.My grip made the being wince as I arrived at the basement of the temple, I looked around as my eyes adapted to the darkness, but I felt my eyes widen as a cold feeling crept up my spine and I heard a bored voice appear in my head:"Experiment attempt number 645..."This was Alliron's voice?But there was no one here, and that sensation and voice soon disappeared from my senses, it was almost as if my body instinctively sensed Alliron's presence that was left in this basement and read it before transmitting it t
The Ultimate Devourer Orgumak clan leader makes a move
After leaving the temple, I thought that I might be able to find some other experimentation sites if I followed the underground path that existed in the surroundings of the temple, but I soon found out that there were no more places where Alliron experimented previously.I tried to search by digging through the sand that was deposited in what seemed to be tunnels created previously by the legend himself, but I was unable to find any other location that contained things that were left behind by him.But he either didn't create another base that was this close to the first one, or someone else must have picked everything clean.I wasn't sure which assumption was true, but there was nothing I would do if I lingered around this area, I could sense that there wasn't anything noteworthy to be found around here because it didn't contain the aura that the ledger I had hidden in my armor had.Now that I had this ledger, it could somewhat act like a compass as I could compare the energy that wa
The Ultimate Devourer Searching the continent
After we had finished our alliance, I decided to ask this demon directly: "Do you know of any ways to devour souls?" The demon scratched his chin for a few seconds before saying: "Do you think that because I'm a demon and my race deals with souls, we all know how to manipulate and devour them?" I blinked my eyes at him for a few seconds and asked: "You don't know?" His response was rather cold as he said: "No, of course, I don't, I can't even write contracts like the other demons, not like it would have worked on a fateless one like you, why do you think I want Alliron's research on souls? At the base, demons are all corrupted souls that gained fleshly bodies through the corruption of their sins, so the stronger our souls become, the stronger our scales and corrupted fleshly bodies are. Normally demons would create contracts with mortals to devour their souls in exchange for forbidden knowledge. But my horn got broken in a fight, and I lost a lot of my power before being banis
The Ultimate Devourer The reason of the Orcs' movements
My attacks were slow while my injuries were healing and I was growing my second heart back. The Orc shaman that ambushed us was pretty surprised to see me get up and fight him without a heart, but he quickly understood that I must have another one as he focused on deflecting my and Skeral's combined attacks. Skeral was ready to unsheath his long sword as he took a drawing stance, making the Orc narrow his eyes as he unleashed a magic barrier that was cut into two the moment it came into existence. I could feel my second heart coming back into being as I attacked the Orc from behind, but he was able to catch my foot and throw me into Skeral, who disappeared into the void to avoid the collision before drawing out his sword once more thus making the Orc shaman bleed for the first time since we encountered each other. There was a shallow cut on the Orcs' neck that slowly closed and then he said: "I was wondering when the other continents would send people to this place to investigate o
The Ultimate Devourer Another evolution
Skeral was nursing his wounds as he looked at me from the corner of his eyes.He could feel the bitter taste of failure in his mouth as he spat on the ground and gritted his teeth at the failure of getting his hands on the medallion.Skeral and I thought that we would be able to defeat Korgumo and use the shamans to our advantage to get whatever was getting unearthed there, but we didn't know such a powerful explosion would come with the unearthing of the medallion.Our lack of information was the first step to our failure in this situation.My body continued to throb as I clutched my head, due to the lack of a full body and the destruction of cells, I was only able to scavenge ten years of memories from the ashes that I inhaled, not the full twenty-five even though we were both cannibals and I should be able to get one hundred percent of everything he had. Unfortunately, it was like eating only a part of the body and not all of it.I ignored the pain of my wrecked body as I focused o
The Ultimate Devourer Sense of urgency
While I was resting, Skeral felt something arrive in his right horn, he clutched it for a few seconds before his eyes widened, and he looked at me before saying:"It looks like Greed and Gluttony are allying."I cocked my head to the side before asking:"Demon of Gluttony and Greed? Allying? What is there to be scared of? It isn't their time to come to the surface yet, I already talked with my ally on the human continent and I'm sure he will do his best to delay their plan as much as possible." Skeral shook his head seeing how laidback I was before mentioning:"The problem of their alliance is that it shows that they are confident enough that they will ascend sooner rather than later.""In general, demons on the 13th layer won't make alliances unless they prepare for something big! The last time an alliance was made, I got my left horn broken and I was thrown out of the 13th layer!"I looked at Skeral up and down before asking:"Which sin were you?"Skeral laughed and shook his head
The Ultimate Devourer The tricky marauder tribe easily killed
I observed something while I tried to help Skeral with the toxins in his body. The agents that they were made from were very thorough and plant-based, most likely hand-picked from the Night Elves' forest at its borders, but the main ingredient that was used to create the toxin came from a very old serpent that most likely lived at the bottom of the desert.This was a very deadly combination that I was only barely to withstand due to my tempered body and my continuous usage of poison in my training.Skeral was having a hard time not keeling over and dying right now, but as a demon, it would be quite awkward for him to die due to poison.The problem was that he was a little bit weakened on the surface compared to the time he was back in hell. The air in the living realm was completely different from the one in hell, and his constitution didn't seem to be able to adapt to the surroundings in the living realm.Combined with the toxins that were running through his veins right now, it made
