A wisp of black qi floated from the kobold's body, and the other four kobolds began to inhale violently, drawing the black qi towards them.

The wisp of black qi was completely divided among the four kobolds, and they seemed quite satisfied with it.

Herag was somewhat puzzled about what this black qi was. He had also tried to absorb it but received no response.

This wasn't a regular gas; it was more like some special energy.

It seemed only these kobolds could absorb and utilize it.

Herag felt that after the kobolds absorbed the black qi, their aura seemed to become slightly stronger.

This feeling wasn't very obvious, and he couldn't be entirely certain.

After absorbing the black qi, the four kobolds grabbed their weapons and charged at Herag, unfazed by the previous scene.

Herag held his long blade, watching the four incoming kobolds without any panic.

He used the Storm Giant Shield to block the attack of a large wooden club, and at the same time swung his blade, directly striking a kobold on his right.

Herag's speed and power far surpassed these kobolds. The kobold on the right couldn't see Herag's blade swing at all and naturally couldn't respond.

A large kobold head flew high into the air and landed in the distance.

A headless body spurted blood from its neck, collapsing heavily to the ground.

The other three kobolds finally showed some fear in their expressions upon seeing this.

At this time, another wisp of black qi floated from the kobold's body and was absorbed by the remaining three kobolds.

Herag, with a shield in his left hand and a blade in his right, was the first to chop down.

The three kobolds seemed to value that wisp of black qi greatly, even amidst the chaos, they fought to absorb it.

Catching the moment they absorbed the black qi, Herag swung fiercely, slicing down another kobold's head along with its shoulders on the spot.

But that wasn't the end; after killing one, Herag twisted his body at a strange angle, following through with the inertia of his swing, and slashed at another kobold.

This kobold had a bit of reaction time, raising its long blade to shield itself.

However, Herag's power was too great, cleaving both the blade and the kobold in half.

In the blink of an eye, only one kobold was left.

Two wisps of black qi floated up, spreading in the air.

The remaining kobold glanced at the two wisps of black qi, but had no time to absorb them, only able to look on with a regretful expression.

The kobold glanced at the black qi and then at Herag, who had felled two companions in an instant, displaying a human-like fear on its face and turned to run.

It realized that Herag wasn't someone they could contend with, a strong sense of fear rising from within, driving it to flee.

Herag watched the terrified kobold, tightened his grip on the long blade, and with a flash appeared behind the kobold, then clasped his blade with both hands and struck down, beheading another kobold.

In the span of two seconds, the area around Herag was already filled with kobold corpses.

A wisp of black qi floated up from the kobold's body in front of him, and Herag watched as it dissipated into the air and gradually spread out until it disappeared completely.

Herag still couldn't figure out what this black qi truly was. He could only sense it as a type of magical energy, but didn't know how to absorb or utilize it.

Judging from how eager the kobolds were to absorb the black qi, it must be something valuable.

Looking at the kobold corpses, although the battle was relatively easy, Herag felt no relief.

Because judging from the kobold's attire and behavior, they seemed to be just ordinary mountain bandits or thieves.

If even robbers in this world were so formidable, what level of power would this world's truly powerful individuals possess?

Herag recalled the scene he had just witnessed; the kobolds seemed as if they hadn't eaten in a long time, famished for quite a while.

No matter in which plane, food is the basic necessity.

Anyone with some status generally wouldn't lack food.

These kobolds, being hungry for so long, were likely just low-level figures.

But even these low-level figures had such strong physical power.

Thinking of this, Herag's heart grew heavier.

He tried to activate the Bloodline Mark and found the bloodline power he could mobilize was extremely limited and heavily suppressed.

The Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline Power's status was too high, resulting in strong suppression.

Herag had not yet advanced to a Level 2 Wizard, and without rule power within him, he had no qualification to contend with the World Will, exceedingly limited in unleashing the power of the Bloodline Mark.

"Bloodline Power..."

Suddenly, Herag thought of something and crouched down to examine the kobold bodies.

He sensed a very weak bloodline power from within the kobolds.

The Great Dark Heaven has requirements for absorbing bloodline power, and the kobold's blood just barely reached the absorbable standard.

Normally, absorbing such a level of bloodline power would be useless, not even reaching the enhancement level of a mosquito's leg.

But Herag was ready to try, wanting to verify his thoughts.

Herag extended his hand over the kobold's body, his magical aura fluctuating, as a stone slab silhouette appeared behind him.

After using the Great Dark Heaven, he absorbed the faint bloodline power from within the kobolds.

After absorption, Herag waited awhile, only to find the absorbed bloodline power was too weak, causing no changes.

He glanced at the other kobold corpses and went over to continue absorbing the bloodline power from them.

After Herag absorbed all the bloodline power from five kobold bodies, there was finally some change.

"Demon Power: Able to absorb demon aura to strengthen oneself."

This was the talent ability extracted from the kobolds, Demon Power.

Herag quickly realized that the black qi floating from the kobold bodies was this so-called demon aura.

If he could absorb that demon aura, he should be able to enhance his physical power.

Herag soon figured out why these kobolds had such strong bodies, relying completely on this talent ability, constantly absorbing black qi to strengthen their bodies.

These kobolds had been absorbing black qi for many years, which is why their bodies were so strong.

Recalling every detail he had seen, Herag noted that.

The black qi also varied in thickness, even though the black qi of these kobolds appeared similar in size.

But upon closer inspection, he could see the thickness varied slightly.

From this, Herag inferred the thickness of the black qi was likely related to the kobold's strength.

The stronger the power, the thicker the black qi, and vice versa.
