Senjar moved skillfully and dodged the demonic sword of one of the demonic humans in gray robes who had developed a horn in the middle of his forehead.

The other four demonic humans lay dead around him, some decapitated by Senjar's swift fist, others their rib cages and abdomens reduced to a mass of shredded flesh with a single kick.

The demonic human's teeth chattered; it was clear he was scared. Nothing turned out as they had imagined when they saw Senjar without an arm.

Senjar's experience, skill, and difference in power overwhelmed the demonic humans, whose power had only risen violently and unsteadily.

"I won't die alone!" exclaimed the demonic human, leaping toward the students.

The demonic human planned to burn the mana and demonic energy in his body to die alongside the students of Danteriar Academy.

Senjar, with a calm look on his face, concentrated demonic energy in his left fist, stood firmly, and the ground beneath his feet cracked slightly.

Bang!

A blast of demonic energy shot out from Senjar's fist, traveling precisely like a shockwave in a single direction.

The blast of demonic energy was aimed at a point along the path the human had to take to reach the students.

The demonic human barely had time to react before the powerful demonic energy hit him, quickly disintegrating him without leaving a trace.

"How pathetic!" Senjar thought about the demonic human he had just killed, then turned his attention to the two places where he could sense the chilling, dark, and deep energy.

The earth spears reinforced with demonic energy rose from the ground and headed toward Raden.

Bang! Bang!...

Some earth spears exploded upon contact with the sinister sword wielded by Raden, who now had a long black horn on the left side of his forehead.

Selef continued to attack, trying to keep his distance.

"That powerful and strange energy that appeared, I don't recognize it," thought Selef, who was aware of the appearance of the two incomplete abyssal summons, but he knew he couldn't go and protect Isirid unnecessarily.

"She is strong. If I start protecting her from every danger, she will only become weak and dependent. I must allow her to continue to grow stronger and gain experience at the same time," Selef concluded in his mind as he created a glowing sphere in front of him and detonated it the moment Raden reached him.

The explosion gave Selef the momentum to retreat without losing track of Raden's location.

Selef's black uniform with gold trim had traces of burns after that last explosion.

"You're out of tricks, you damn demon." Soon I'll brutally kill you and feed my sword with your remains" Raden's voice no longer sounded like his own, and his personality had changed.

Selef also knew that no matter how many spells he used, his enemy was strong enough to resist most of them without suffering the slightest damage.

"Not yet, I must wait a little longer. At least until I make sure there are no powerful demons or humans waiting, or at least until one of them makes an appearance," Selef concluded with a firm look.

Dozens of earth spears rose from the ground.

Cut!

Blood!

One leap was enough for Raden to catch up with Selef, but Selef sensed him and directed his attacks toward Raden's body to stop him. Even so, a cut of demonic energy mixed with aura emerged from Raden's sword and struck Selef.

Selef only had time to create two demonic barriers, which broke after reducing the intensity of the attack that caused a deep diagonal cut in Selef's chest.

Selef stepped back and leaned on his demonic staff. He used his demonic energy absorption technique to expel the residual energy from the enemy's attack. Even so, after expelling the residual energy, the wound was still there, healing very slowly.

"Now I understand how useful the blood of the Demon God is," Selef realized as he felt the wound healing.

"Even if it's slow, any advantage, no matter how small, can give you victory in battle," Selef concluded as he watched Raden walking toward him.

••••

The enormous mass of pulsating flesh that lay in the middle of the plain, emitting a sinister, deep, dark energy, opened up, releasing a bloody liquid.

Then, from inside, a fetus emerged with malformed wings and only a few feathers.

The moment the fetus opened its curious, completely black eyes, an oppressive and tyrannical energy spread like a shockwave announcing its presence.

The fetus, whose skin was reddish from the blood covering its body, let out an innocent baby's laugh that was heard in the Marrac Mountains.

The shockwave had been a way of tracking the location of living beings in the environment.

The fetus laughed again and then began to crawl in the direction where it sensed the closest sources of life.

...

In another area of Marrac Mountain, the terrain was uneven and there were a few scattered trees.

The three fire specters were torn apart by the claws of the abominable golden-skinned humanoid beings.

They were not the first fire specters to be torn apart; now there were only two left, and there was great resentment in their eyes.

Dervec cut the palm of his right hand, and blood began to flow, disappearing before it fell to the ground.

The fire spirits began to grow and burn intensely. They grew, their round bodies becoming robust the moment they touched the ground, burning it on contact. Four limbs with orange or blue scales had appeared on the bodies of the fire specters, which had turned into spectral fire monsters.

The angry spectral monsters lunged at two of the abominable humanoid beings, slowly burning them, and stabbed the third with their stingers, injecting poisonous lava into its body.

When the abominable humanoid beings died, the spectral fire monsters disappeared.

After the spectral monsters disappeared, he applied a potion to the palm of his right hand to close the bleeding wound.

"This won't be resolved so easily," Dervec muttered as he sensed the incomplete abyssal summoning approaching.
