A little further from Mephas Capital,
There were two people sitting in the horse-drawn carriage. One of them was an insider from the tower named Hike and the other was a hunter from the Hunter Association who had come as Hike's guide. Hike was very alert because he could feel an energy. Instead of the usual three energies, there were several smaller energies. One of which was bloodlust. When someone is ready to kill a person or makes up their mind, energy like an aura starts to come out of their body. This is called bloodlust. The more crazy a person is about killing, the more bloodlust they have. And Hike is feeling an extra-sized bloodlust from behind them.
"I haven't felt such bloodlust even from high level monsters?" (Hike thinks)
Hike's hands and feet started shaking. He couldn't figure out what to do. Even though he had the powerful items of the tower, he still couldn't dare. Bloodlust energy is an energy that creates fear in the opponent. If the second person is stronger than the first person, then the second person's bloodlust will create fear in the first person's mind. Just like the weak animals get scared when they see the strong animals in the forest.
Despite being scared, Hayek tried to remain normal. Since he was outside the tower, he didn't want to ruin his own image here. Hayek had many names in the tower, so he didn't want to lose his respect in front of a weak hunter. Since the hunter in front of him was eating comfortably without understanding any of this, Hayek realized,
"It must be very weak. That's why it can't even feel such strong energy." (Hike thinks)
Hike's thoughts suddenly stopped. Being a high-level aura user, he could sense energy a little better. So he could often sense energy-based attacks from the very beginning. So he took out a dagger from the storage ring in his hand. The dagger started to burn in his hand. Hike wasted no time and slashed the wooden wall of the car twice with his dagger. And from there, he jumped out.
Just then, a black lightning bolt struck the horse-drawn carriage. As a result, the carriage was completely shattered. Hike barely escaped. The lightning bolt was so powerful that if it had hit him, he would have turned to ashes. He didn't even look at the carriage. Because the driver and the hunter were surely dead by then. He looked back. Hike looked in the direction from which the lightning had come. Two hooded figures were approaching him. Their faces were not visible because the hooded figure covered their entire bodies. A light smoke could be seen from one of the two hands, indicating that the person had used the spell.
"I never thought I'd meet a powerful mana user here. But why did you come after me? Did someone from the tower contract me to kill him? I don't understand. Or are these the other two key hosts? Otherwise, they would have warned me." (Hike thinks)
Suddenly, a voice from Hike's dagger began to reach Hike's ears. The voice sounded like a little girl. The girl was speaking in a scared voice,
-->>Master, they are very scary. I can feel the devilish energy from them. I don't think I can do anything against them without my sister.
Hearing about the dagger, Hayek became even more worried. This is the fourth key of the Demon Prince Beelzebub. Hayek has become so strong today only because of this dagger. The dagger has a power that has enabled Hayek to climb to the height of the tower very quickly. This dagger can absorb the blood of every living thing. Half of which is used to strengthen Hayek's body and the rest is used by the dagger for its own strength. Till today, he has not lost to any enemy because of this dagger. But that dagger says he cannot do anything.
"So how strong are these two?" (Hike is thinking)
On the other side, two people, Amoras and Gemeras, slowly approached Hayek. Amoras remained silent. Gemeras began to speak. He had used one of his lightning spells a little while ago.
-->>I thought my one spell would finish the job. But the people here are really strong. (Jemoras)
Hayek couldn't figure out what to do. His hands and feet were shaking. He felt like he was looking at two monsters he could never defeat. In his eyes, the two devils seemed like a sea of energy. Black energy was emanating from their bodies, rising all the way to the sky. Hayek didn't know what to do. But he had to do something.
"No, I'm not afraid. I have to collect the rest of the keys. And I have to fulfill my dream very quickly." (Hike is thinking)
On the other hand,
A short distance away, the horse-drawn carriage was reduced to ashes by Zemorus' lightning spell. At the last moment, Almond somehow saved the carriage driver and kept himself hidden.
-->>I thought I would see a good show. But I didn't think the boy would be so weak. From this, even if my Alex was here, he would stand with courage. (Almond)
Almond initially wanted to see a fight but it wasn't happening. He knew the boy's fight would be over in a second so he waited. Suddenly, Almond noticed the dagger in Hayek's hand.
-->>Oh. Alex's birthday is coming up soon. And his test is also ending. The boy is giving me a lot of trouble. I should give him a prize. (Almond)
Almond waited for their fight, but something amazing happened in front of him.
Emoras doesn't like to wait. Zemoras always likes to have fun with his enemies. He always makes his enemies suffer before killing them. But Emoras is not like that. He doesn't want to waste his time killing a weak person. So, within a moment of Zemoras' words, he crossed a few meters and came in front of Hayek. He grabbed Hayek's head with his hand, including his entire face. And slammed it straight into the ground. Maybe Hayek would have been killed if his dagger wasn't a normal one.
At the end, a barrier formed on Hayek's body that pushed Amoras' body far away. Hayek realized that his sword had protected him. But was it enough? Hayek's head was hurting so much that it felt like it was about to burst. Amoras was holding his head so tightly that if he had held it any longer, Hayek's entire head would have been crushed to pieces. But he screamed out in pain.
-->>I will not let anyone down in my dreams. There are two keys in the Demonic Forest. After I make them my own, everyone in this world will be under my feet. Ahhhhhhhhh. (Hike)
Hike gathered his energy and channeled it into his dagger. His energy and the dagger's energy combined to create a deadly amount of energy. Hike's skill has the power to split a river in two. And these two strangers are nothing. Hike knows that the two people are stronger than him. That's why he uses his strongest power first. Otherwise, he will surely die in the next attack.
-->>"Wind Slush"
Hayk shouted loudly. He took his small dagger and moved towards Amoras. A very terrible wind came from all directions. It surrounded Hayk. A lot of wind also remained around the dagger in his hand. Hayk moved forward and attacked Amoras. He attacked Amoras and went after him. An invisible power came out of his dagger. Which is not possible to see with the naked eye.
The aura energy took the form of wind and cut down everything in front of his slash. All the trees along the road were cut down evenly. There was also a large rock far away that was cut into two pieces. No one who has seen this skill has survived the hike to this day. So he was sure that no matter how strong he was, this enemy was his. He wouldn't be able to stand after this.
Heik turned back. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. The man he had attacked, Amoras, was standing perfectly still. Only his right hand had been cut off. But Amoras, not paying any attention to that, lifted his right hand and placed it on the cut spot. Immediately, the hand began to grow back to its previous state.
-->>But why? How is this possible? It was my strongest skill. (Hike)
Hayek was really scared this time. The person in front of him was not human at all. With the hood open, Hayek could see his face clearly. Although he had a human-like figure, the person in front of him was not human at all.
-->>A Monster!(Hike)
Even though he had gone to the current high floor of the Hike Tower, he had never seen a monster like this. No, it couldn't be a monster in the tower. He didn't know what to do. Everything about him was becoming blurry.
-->>Master, you run away.
-->>Master's life is in danger.
Hike could hear the dagger in his ears. A child whose voice he had heard since he got the dagger, was crying and telling Hike to run away from here and save his life. But Hike's legs were stiff, he couldn't move. He couldn't figure out what to do in this situation. His powerful skill was of no use to him, and on the other hand, using the skill had drained all his energy, leaving Hike unable to get up.
-->>I don't like wasting time like this. Jemorus, kill him and take the dagger from him. We have some good information. (Jemorus)
Hike heard from a man in the tower that the person he was looking for was outside the tower. Both of them were very weak, so losing would not be a problem for them. The man claimed to be an oracle, who could see the future. Hike was looking for the remaining four keys. So after getting information from the oracle, he went straight to the place. According to the oracle's instructions, they could be found in a place called the Demonic Forest. He told Amoras this while he was fighting with Amoras, getting excited. As a result, both devils got a lot of good information for free.
-->>Since Emoras is serious, I am taking your death with less pain. (Emoras)
A mischievous smile appeared on the younger Devil brother's face.
Fufufufufu
With a smile, he placed his hand on Hike's head. Now he was going to cast his spell. Lightning suddenly appeared in his hand. It seemed as if he had not read or uttered any spell. Without saying a word, lightning formed in the devil's hand. Hike looked up at the person in front of him. He could not move.
"Maybe this is the end of me." (Hike)
-Boom boom boom-
There was a huge blast there. Everyone was confused about what had happened. At first, Amoras thought his brother might be using a big spell. Since he was leaving them behind, he suddenly couldn't feel his brother's energy. He turned back to understand what had happened. There was smoke all around, so Amoras couldn't see anything. But he was sure he couldn't feel his brother's energy. Not even a little bit of energy.
"This is never possible. How could a boy like him be Jemorus? No, it's someone else." (Jemorus is thinking)
Emoras observed carefully. Since he was a high-level creature, he could see and hear clearly from a long distance. After the smoke from the blast slowly cleared, a tall man was seen standing between the two. The man's right hand held Emoras's neck, holding him up, and his left hand held the head of the boy named Hik.
-->>I was wondering why someone from the tower would suddenly want to enter the Demonic Forest now? Then I remembered that my son is there too. (Almond)
Almond said this and clenched his left hand, and immediately Hayek's head crumbled into pieces in his hand. His entire hand was covered in blood. Although a normal person would have shown some illusion or expectation at this time, Almond, like a complete monster, did not give him any time. Hayek's body fell to the side. Almond put some of the blood from his left hand on his face.
-->>How long has it been since you drank human blood? Well, Maria will definitely be angry, but I can protect Alex. (Almond)
In the wash, Almond's huge body looks no less than a monster. His black hair has turned yellow. His eyes have changed from blue to red. Although his body looks huge, his face is like a child, which is very similar to Alex. In his right hand was a devil named Zemorus. Almond had held it high around his neck for so long. But now he dropped it. Several bones fell down. Seeing Zemorus's condition, his brother Emorus became very angry. There is nothing strange about devils. If their loved ones die in a fight, they take revenge even if it means giving their lives.
"Is this an ensorption? No, as the master said, there can't be anyone like that here."
Amoras's body was shaking with anger. But he didn't know what to do. He couldn't feel any energy from the person standing in front of him. A completely normal person. In normal times, he might have thought of Almond as an ordinary person. But he had killed his brother with one blow. To say he had killed would be an understatement. So he had absorbed his brother's entire life energy.
"Wet yellow hair, black, red eyes and the ability to absorb life energy. It must be someone from the vampire world." (Amorus suddenly started to think)
-->>Are you from the main tower?(Emoras)
Amoras was trying to escape. Because if the person in front of him came from the main tower, then he was definitely not a weak person. Because Amoras did not have the power to leave the main tower on his own. Coming here was only possible for his master. So he was trying to find an opportunity by talking to the person in front of him.
-->>I didn't expect you to recognize me even after becoming a devil. Of course you are a high level devil. But you are unlucky. Because I didn't come from the vampire world. Actually, I would have had a chance to escape. (Almond)
Amoras realized who the person in front of him could be. All his escape routes were blocked. No matter how hard he tried, the person in front of him was nothing but a monster. Almond pointed his finger at Amoras. Amoras understood that Almond would kill him. So he started using his power. Energy started spreading around Amoras. Immediately, an area of about two hundred meters was destroyed. As a result of Amoras' energy pressure, a very large hole was created in that area. Yes, it was gravity control. Amoras' most deadly power. Which creates some problems for his master.
There was a lot of pressure from gravity all around. As a result, they fell down into a hole about a few hundred meters deep. Even under this pressure, Almond was standing normally. He was still pointing his finger at Amoras. He pointed at Amoras with it. It was a kind of beckoning gesture. Immediately, Amoras started flying towards Almond.
-->>I don't have time to play like children. Since I opened my limiter, I have to finish it quickly. Otherwise, my wife will get angry again. (Almond)
A gravity hundreds of times stronger than Amoras's gravity is pulling Amoras towards his enemy. Amoras is unable to do anything. Almond immediately grabs Amoras by the throat and without wasting any time, begins to absorb his life energy.
-->>Ahhhhh, this is called peace. After a long time, the black blood of the devils. (Almond)
Blood began to flow from Amoras's entire body and it turned into energy and entered Almond's body. In the end, only Amoras's bony body remained. And at the end, a loud groan.
-->>So it became my son's birthday present. Well, that's not called theft. After killing a bad person, the loot goes to the killer.
Almond picked up the dagger that was with Hike. And put it in his pocket. His son had once spoken of a short sword. It wasn't time for that then. But it was time now.
-->>This will make Alex stronger.
* * * * *
On the other hand,
(In the Demonic Forest)
Alex was walking and sneezed.
-->>Of course someone is talking about me. (Alex)
