Bang!

Herag's fist clashed with the gorilla's, raising a gust of wind on the spot.

Herag didn't take a step back, whereas the gorilla staggered back from the impact of Herag's strength.

"The power is indeed strong, but compared to mine, it's still a bit lacking." Through this direct confrontation, Herag assessed the gorilla's strength level.

The gorilla's strength was indeed formidable, far surpassing that of an ordinary Crystalization Wizard.

Ed was dumbfounded upon witnessing this scene. He could see the incredible strength of the gorilla and knew Herag was impressive.

However, he didn't expect Herag to be so fierce, able to collide directly with this high-tier, strength-type demon, which was simply beyond the human category.

The gorilla took a step back, a hint of shock appearing on its face.

This human before him was indeed bigger, but he was still just a human.

A human's strength actually exceeded its own?

There was no time to think about this because Ed seized the moment when the gorilla recoiled, wielding the black sword and striking from the side.

The black sword thrust forward, and the gorilla didn't pay much attention. It casually raised its left arm, intending to block the sword with its armor.

It had dealt with humans often, and no human weapon had ever penetrated its armor, so the gorilla had no regard for this attack.

However, the next moment, a sharp pain came from its left arm.

The gorilla turned its head and saw that the black sword actually pierced through its left arm, causing a penetrating wound.

Its proud innate armor had no effect in the face of the black sword.

After succeeding with this strike, Ed didn't continue attacking but wisely withdrew with a backward leap.

In the next second, the gorilla's massive right fist swung through where Ed had just stood.

If Ed had been greedy and tried to strike again, he would have been hammered into mince on the spot.

After swinging its fist into the air, the gorilla was somewhat vexed and puzzled by how formidable the humans it encountered lately were.

It looked at Ed's black sword with some fear, this being the first time it had encountered a weapon that could pierce its armor.

Over the years, the gorilla relied on its extremely strong innate armor for defense.

Now facing an indestructible black sword, the gorilla couldn't help but be afraid.

More importantly, in front of it was also a human man who could go toe to toe with it.

The gorilla was a high-tier demon with a certain degree of intelligence, and it quickly assessed the current situation.

That was to flee.

Without saying a word, the gorilla turned and ran.

Herag, seeing the gorilla turn, showed a somewhat strange expression as if he'd noticed something unusual.

Herag didn't say anything but chased after.

This was a ready supply of Demon Aura, not to be missed.

Herag's speed was much faster than the gorilla's. His strength was only slightly stronger, but his speed far surpassed the gorilla's.

In the blink of an eye, Herag caught up with the gorilla and landed a punch on its back.

The gorilla let out a wail, losing its balance and tumbling to the ground.

Herag followed closely, delivering another punch at the gorilla's face.

The gorilla reacted quickly, raising its hands to block its face, shielding itself from the punch.

Its innate armor was indeed very tough; Herag's punch had most of its power absorbed by the armor.

Herag didn't give the gorilla a chance to breathe, punching relentlessly, keeping the gorilla pinned down.

It must be said that this gorilla was really resilient, taking more than twenty punches from Herag without dying.

By this time, Ed had arrived, swinging the black sword as Herag withdrew his fists, showcasing great teamwork.

The black sword swung, and the gorilla's head rolled to the ground.

The sharpness of this black sword made even Herag feel it was somewhat overwhelmingly powerful.

Herag even felt that the sharpness of this sword might involve something at the rule level.

Ed's awakened talent was far from simple, surely hiding more secrets.

But Ed's current power wasn't enough, so the true strength of the black sword hadn't been revealed.

A thick, black qi wafted from the gorilla's corpse, and Herag glanced at it and said, "Half and half."

Ed was about to say something when he noticed Herag absorbed half, then stopped, letting the black qi continue to disperse.

If he didn't absorb it, this Demon Aura would go to waste, so Ed had no choice but to absorb the remaining half.

"Power +1.9, agility +1.1, constitution +1.6."

After absorbing the Demon Aura, Herag looked at his data panel, pleased with the gains.

High-tier demons were indeed different; even half of the Demon Aura provided such a significant boost.

After Ed absorbed his half of the Demon Aura, his aura clearly changed.

This half of the Demon Aura brought Ed a more tangible enhancement.

Herag already had high power, so this increase wasn't very noticeable.

Just then, a mutation occurred.

The gorilla's body on the ground suddenly emitted black light, the entire body gradually energizing, transforming into a mass of black light.

This mass of black light gradually shrunk, condensing into the shape of armor.

Once the armor took form, it floated in mid-air, dancing around Ed.

The next moment, the armor jumped into Ed's body and vanished.

"This is... Demon Armor!"

Ed was initially dazed, taking a while to comprehend what had happened.

"What's Demon Armor?" Herag looked at this scene, bewildered, how the body could become a set of armor.

Ed explained, "Demon Armor is a phenomenon where, upon the death of powerful demons, there's a very slight probability they will transform into weapons, armor, tools, and such. These transformed items are called Demonized Armaments, and they're very powerful things."

"But this probability is very low. I'd only heard about it before."

Herag asked, puzzled, "Why did this Demonized Armament automatically go into your body?"

Ed said, "It's said that Demonized Armaments recognize a master and can't be forcibly used without special means."

"So, the armor recognized you as its master." Herag nodded, understanding.

Herag looked at Ed with a strange expression, seeing something unusual the more he looked.

Talent, effort, luck, a unique awakened talent—could this kid be the Child of the Plane here?

Ed, a bit embarrassed, said, "I couldn't control the Demonized Armament recognizing me. I mean, I shouldn't have absorbed the Demon Aura, as it was mainly your power, Teacher, that subdued the demon."
