Blood Assimilation

231 Unknown God Of The Demons

Demon General Jarkoffin seemed to have gone mad, as veins started bulging uncontrollably on his tanned skin. His eyes glowed with an eerie and ferocious red light, but he held back his anger in the end.

‘I need to calm down... I have to find and deal with the one who murdered my subordinates and got in this general’s way...’ He thought with a determined expression.

A moment later, as he thought about something, the dark-skinned bulky man said: “Right, there was that thing those sorcerers gave us. Use it to recollect what happened. I would like to see the face of the one who murdered my men.”

“Eh? B-But my Lord, that was something given to us by the King, which was meant to be used under certain specified situations.” The subordinate nervously said, regretting his decision the next moment.

“Hah?! Are you saying that my subordinates dying in a mission that should’ve been easy is not a ‘certain specified situation’?! Do you think I don’t know what those specified situations were? Are you now telling me what to do as my subordinate? You too are trying to look down on me like those other bastards in the other divisions?!”

“Detestable!”

The dark-skinned demon general angrily shouted at him as a fierce aura exploded out of his body, causing his subordinate to almost fall over from the pressure alone.

Although this bulky, dark-skinned demon was also a general, his reputation was not as good as that of the other generals. As most of the other Demon Generals were stronger than him and had more territories under their commands with abundant resources at their disposal.

Usually, those other Demon Generals mocked him and told him to do things in certain ways so he could attain more merit. But his pride wouldn’t permit him to bow down to those pompous bastards. As such, he was always very sensitive to being told what to do like this subordinate just did.

.....

“Ah, my apologies, I didn’t mean to-”

“Enough! Just do as I say and stop talking nonsense!”

“Understood!”

The subordinate quickly responded and rushed back to retrieve something.

A short while later, he returned with an intricate device, which at first glance could be classified as an artifact of sorts.

The subordinate quickly but skillfully operated the artifact. It looked like an orb about the size of a soccer ball, exuding a baleful purple and crimson aura that intertwined around the artifact.

To begin with, the subordinate inserted a bit of his mana into the orb as it glowed with blinding purple light, followed by inserting his life-blood into the orb after the glowing purple light settled down.

A life-blood was akin to a life force and vitality of a demon, as it contains not only their life force but their vital essence. This was the substance necessary for the operation of many of their spells and techniques. And that was the case for this artifact as well.

A few moments later, the artifact started vibrating with satisfaction after consuming the life-blood and it quickly projected a certain scene in the air for all to see.

The scene projected was when Randy first encountered the two demons.

Following this, the two of them, the Demon General and his subordinate carefully watched every single scene from beginning to end without missing out on a single detail.

Naturally, they watched the two fights that occurred on separate battlefields, so it took a while.

However, after they finished watching the fight, both of them were left speechless or rather dumbfounded by the way the human who fought against their people used bizarre abilities one after another, even though he appeared to be a mere human.

The next moment, the demon general displayed a deep frown on his face and calmly commented: “Unbelievable... No wonder those two had lost to him. Even though they let their guard down, that human also possessed strange abilities unbefitting that of a mere human.”

The subordinate still had a face full of incredulity and did not say anything as he replayed the two battles in his mind.

‘How is it possible that such a person could exist among humans?’ He thought in puzzlement, as if such people existed, even if they were weak, they would be troublesome to deal with.

Though his outward appearance was calm, the demon general was startled by what he had just seen. A solemn expression appeared on his face as he thought of that human’s fighting style with apprehension.

‘Such a display of strength and versatility, is he an apostle? No, based on the strength and power he displayed, he is too weak to be considered an apostle. In terms of level, he is at the very least a 60 plus with a strong body.’

‘After all, Gleak and Farlorn were all above level 60 and could even face off against level 70 combatants and some low-level level 80 after their demonic transformation. And yet they were defeated by just one human?’

‘Impossible! It must be because of his unique skills!’

What left the demon general bewildered and puzzled was that despite possessing all these unique skills, this human had yet to be discovered by the other humans yet.

Either that or they had already taken notice of him.

He thought that the opposite might be possible and that they had indeed discovered this human and had purposely sent him to disrupt their plans.

But that was unlikely as the human’s upper echelon would have sent more than one person to deal with them if that was the case.

Not to mention that someone of such caliber shouldn’t be around these parts of the world. They should be in the human empire’s capital attempting a dungeon or joining the human army and yet they were still around these parts of the world.

‘Now that I think about it, that clone magic spell that the human used also seemed different from ordinary cloning magic spells, and even different from our demon race’s newly acquired Flesh Separation Technique.’

‘Was he really not an apostle with such a profound magic spell?’

In this world, only apostles possessed bizarre abilities amongst the humans.

However, most of them don’t bother to stay for long on the mortal plane after receiving the recognition of a god. Otherwise, the demons wouldn’t have been so carefree in dealing with them.

Likewise, the demon apostles of the past also left as soon as they were recognized by their god. But that had long since changed a few hundred years ago when their god was replaced by another unknown god.

No one knew the identity of the demon’s new god. However, it was rumored that this new god had defeated the old god of the demons and replaced them.

After which, they brought about changes to the world’s foundation as a whole.

The ongoing hegemony wars between the races and species in their world was one example of these changes.

Nowadays, there are no longer demon apostles, only demon kings who possess similar power levels as the apostles.

Naturally, if the demon or the human apostles still existed on the mortal plane, they would’ve already intervened in the war and put an end to it effectively.

But sadly, that wasn’t the case, as they had all left the mortal plane.
