As soon as the demon died in front of Dev, a notification appeared in the system: "You have eliminated this great threat. As a reward, you are given 500 system points." Dev checks his system, and then another notification appears: "You have obtained this demon's mask. To make the mask your own, attach it and drip a drop of your blood onto it with your hand."
After looking at the system, Dev looks at the demon he had. Right before his eyes, the demon's body began to transform into black smoke. In an instant, in place of the massive demon, only a mask resembling a demon with two fangs sticking out lay there, broken into two pieces.
Dev says, "Is this the demon? But it's dead now." He picks up the mask.
When Dev looked closely at the mask, which had been broken into just two pieces, he saw it was black with some purple spots that were alternately fading and becoming clear. Looking at those spots gives Dev a headache.
Dev calls out to Disha. The system immediately appears before him. Dev asks Disha, "How exactly do I attach this?"
Disha says, "It's simple. Just put these two broken pieces back together, and they will attach on their own."
Dev brings the two pieces together as she instructed. As soon as he brought the two pieces close at the point where they were broken, some thread-like structures automatically emerged, and the two pieces joined very quickly.
Dev says, "How am I supposed to put my blood on this?" He thinks about whether the leg of the eight-legged machine is fine, but then worries that the legs might be poisoned, so he doesn't cut himself with a knife. He thinks, "If I try to draw blood with my teeth, I don't have any bandages. What if I bleed too much and die?"
A voice from the system says, "I think I have a solution to this problem." Dev says, "Alright, so what do I do?"
Disha's voice says, "Place your finger on the teeth of this mask. The teeth will draw your blood without making a large cut."
Hearing this solution, Dev thanks Disha. "Why didn't that thought cross my mind? I could draw blood with these teeth too."
Dev does just that. As soon as he places his hand on the mask's tooth, a thorn-like object extends from the tooth, and blood starts to flow from Dev's hand. The moment that blood falls on the mask, the same white system window appears before Dev, showing a picture of a mask rotating in a circle, with its qualities listed on the side.
"Evolvable Mask. Can evolve a total of five times. Conditions for evolution: Blood and Flesh."
Seeing this, Dev makes a strange face. Dev says, "What a wrong way this is to evolve this thing."
He looks further down: "Abilities — Shape-shifting ability."
Dev is extremely surprised to read this option. Do such powers actually exist in the world? But remembering the things Manas Khurana did, he thinks, yes, in this world, nothing is impossible.
Dev puts the mask on his face to test its abilities. He thinks of a movie hero. Instantly, a black aura begins to emanate from the mask. Like white and black smoke, it starts to cover Dev's body. Although one could vaguely see through the smoke, looking through it, it clearly seemed that the haze was becoming denser. When the smoke became so dense that one couldn't see through it, the smoke began to be drawn back towards the mask.
Where Dev's face was, with the mask on it, now the face of the actor he had thought of had appeared. Dev looks at his body. Along with his face, even his clothes had changed. Dev, feeling this transformation, calms down a bit. Meaning, this is reality. He could still feel the mask on his face. No one else could see that mask.
Dev thinks, "I should change my face back to normal." However, just then, Disha's voice comes.
Meanwhile, when the masked man reaches Dharam Khurana's meeting place, seeing a person emerging from the smoke, he says in surprise, "How is this even possible? According to information, there are no cultivators in Dharam Khurana's family. So what is this cultivator doing here?"
The cultivator, wearing a mask on his face and holding a handkerchief in his hand, speaks. The person opposite him, a young-looking cultivator with red hair and eyes with light red pupils, was there. The masked cultivator takes out a knife from his person and gets ready to fight the cultivator opposite him.
The red-haired individual was a family member of the Khurana family who, a short while ago, had been fishing on a river. However, he would catch fish that weren't good-looking and throw them back into the river, while catching good-looking fish to keep in his aquarium. Just then, a phone rang by his side. Upon answering, Rakesh Khurana gives him a hospital address and calls him to protect a person named Dharam Khurana.
That red-haired Malan Khurana says, "You seem even weaker than that fish I caught a short while ago."
