Chapter 72 Jiang's Death, Demonification!

B-rank Dungeon, Lava-Lake

Waterfall area

"Kill!!!" (Jiang)

As Jiang landed on the adult ogre, he crushed the ogre to death, the ground cracked due to his landing and huge chunks of debris flew everywhere, killing every ogre standing nearby. His landing alone killed around fifteen ogres just from the huge impact.

A huge chunk of debris flew towards Lia and Riya, and easily and instinctively dodged all the debris that flew towards her and didn't have injured but the same was not true for Riya. She is a healer with no combat capabilities and a weak physique, she wasn't able to dodge the huge debris and got caught up in it.

After a few seconds, the dust settled and the visibility increased. Lia looked at where Riya was:

'Oh no! She got stuck under all that debris, at least her upper body is not stuck, but her legs are stuck under the rubble.' (Lia)

Blood can be seen flowing from Riya's head, perhaps that blow caused her to lose consciousness.

'Tsk, I should not have dodged that, which was a huge mistake-' (Lia)

Just as Lia was distracted and was about to help Riya out of the rubble, Jiang came flying at her with immense speed, fortunately, due to all the buffs still being active Lia successfully blocked the attack by taking the punch on her sword, but an A-ranker's strength is not to be ignored.

The immense force of the punch directly caused Lia to fly away and collide with the huge stone twenty meters away from the spot, she was standing before.

"Ugh…." (Lia)

Lia's vision started to flicker and she coughed a mouthful of blood. Even with all the buffs, the head-on attack of an A-ranker was too much for her to handle, after all, she is still just a C-ranker, and any ordinary C-ranker would have already died ten times from that previous blow.

(Link and Rio are different cases, they both are B-ranker and are too strong, and they can fight an ordinary A-ranker from toe to toe without much of a problem.)

Lia stabilized her trembling hand and tried to stand straight, she channeled her mana at maximum capacity and strengthened her physique as much as possible, she used mana to forcefully stabilize her flickering vision and stood up.

She picked her sword from the ground and tried to assume her stance, but the sword was already full of cracks and broke into pieces when Lia picked it up, now only half of the broken sword was left in Lia's hands.

Lia's silver pupils looked at the monster which was screaming at the sky for some reason, the monster originally had a humanoid look to it but with every passing second it was losing its humanoid features and was turning into a creepy and totally other creature.

The skin became grey and scales like a snake appeared on it, the eyes now have tears flowing in them except those are tears of blood, even the blood flowing has become pitch black. The aura of the creature continued to become creepier as time passed.

Jiang's hair became grey like an old man and its length increased, the bat wings expanded and became reddish in color. A thin tail appeared behind Jiang and his teeth grew in size becoming as sharp as a needle.

With her flickering vision Lia looked at Jiang and she remembered a term that she had read in the books:

'I-is this… 'Demonification'…' (Lia)



.

(Demonification- This is an ability possessed by a specific type of demon. It can turn a member of any race into a demon.)

(Description- This ability is mainly found in those formless types of demon spirits that can possess organisms, the main condition to possess an organism is that the individual's will must be extremely weak and the individual should not have any blocking skills. Like- Mental attack resistance, mental immunity, true immunity, Blessing of intelligence, etc.)

(Effect- Once a demon spirit successfully possesses an individual, the individual starts to change from the inside and outside. The individual first turns into a demon emotionally and mentally, then their body also starts to resemble a demon as time passes.)

(Cure- Only applicable until five days from possession. The curing method is simple- if a priest of the same rank or above as the demon spirit casts purification, the individual will be able to get rid of the possession.)

.

After a few minutes, Jiang finally became a complete demon through and through. Now we can't call him Jiang anymore, the real Jiang's will and soul have already been consumed by the demon spirit thoroughly. Even if a priest casts purification on him now, only the demon will get damaged, Jiang is already dead.

(Two minutes of silence for the poor soul named Jiang.)

An extremely hoarse and creepy voice rang out of the creature's mouth:

"Kehkehkeh…. After so many years, I have finally been able to fully possess a body, this feels so nice… kehkehkeh… now I can go and live without problems in the demon continent…. After so many years, the name of great demon Telmuk will ring out again…. kehkehkeh…." (Telmuk) (It's a demon name don't expect it to be easy to remember.)

Suddenly, Telmuk's eyes shifted toward Lia who was struggling to move. Looking at Lia, a wide and creepy grin appeared on Telmuk's face making him look like a sadist who takes pleasure in making others suffering.

"Kehkehkeh… I didn't expect that I will find a prey to play with just after I fully awakened… kehkehkeh… I must enjoy this prey fully…" (Telmuk)

As Telmuk said that he licked his lips with his creepily long tongue.

"The smell of fresh prey, I just can't wait to break you, I wonder what face you will make when driven into absolute despair….aaahhh! so exciting! Kehkehkeh!" (Telmuk)

As Telmuk said that he launched towards Lia and punched with enough force to just make sure that his prey don't die instantly. The creepy grin on his mouth increased and his expression became more excited.

'I-I can't stop it… move! Move! Move!' (Lia)

Looking at the incoming attack Lia tried to move but her body which was already injured just refused to move even a single inch.

And without any doubt the punch directly landed on Lia's face, she wasn't able to block it this time this attack directly made her unconscious sure. The force of the punch buried Lia in the ground in the middle of a huge crater.

"Tsk, it seems she has gone unconscious, it's no fun if she remains unconscious like this…. Hmm, there seems to be another human over there…. Let's save this golden hair woman for later, how about I torture that weak woman first… kehkehekeh…" (Telmuk)

Barren Area

*bang*

A huge stone was cut into two pieces with a single strike and a black hair boy rushed towards the demon in the black armor.

But unlike the previous good condition of the armor, now the armor had huge holes in it, and most of it was already destroyed, this armor is basically useless now. Even the red cape hanging behind the armor has been torn apart.

[Elemental swords art: Blazing dawn of Fire!]

[Heavenly demon art: Defensive curve!]

The collision of the spear and the sword created huge shockwaves destroying the area in a hundred meters radius. There are already huge signs of destruction everywhere around here.

"Hahahah! I never thought I could find a human as strong as you! What was your name, Rio? I will acknowledge you human, hahahaha" (Alverto)

"There is no need to remember the name, you will die today anyway!" (Rio)

[Elemental sword arts: thousand wind strikes!]

[Heavenly demon art: Unceasing thrusts!]

The attack of both of them was colliding and canceling each other out at immense speed. But when it came to speed Rio still had a little advantage, a strike landed on the helmet and the helmet broke apart, revealing the face of the demon prince Alverto.

As the helmet broke apart Alverto and Rio both stepped back for a bit.

Surprisingly, Alverto looked just like a Normal human, the only this noteworthy which differentiated him from a human was those light blue eyes with a mysterious clock-like symbol in his pupils. His hair has a dark blue color. He looked so handsome that if Rio didn't know beforehand he would have considered him a human.

.

While Alverto and Rio were fighting to the death, Link was sitting on a huge boulder nearby, looking at the amazing fight between Alverto and Rio:

'I would have liked to fight that guy too, but Rio said that this is his fight… sigh, even if I fight that guy, he is just too fast, I can't keep up with his attack speed, of course, I have the upper hand in raw strength.' (Link)

'But anyway Rio can fight him, there's no need to worry about him, after all he is capable of defeating even me….' (Link)

Just when Link was getting bored, the ring in his hand started to shine in red color. Looking at that Link immediately got up and channeled mana in the ring.

"Something has happened to Riya, I should go there! Rio doesn't really need help anyway!" (Link)

Link looked in a certain direction and launched at full speed….
