Why must the devil be Defeated? Chapter 281

Chapter 281: 280 Nearly Invincible Level 10 Demon Chapter 281: 280 Nearly Invincible Level 10 Demon “Buzz!” When vast Magic Power was infused into the body of the Black Dragon, it couldn’t help but widen its eyes. A roar filled with comfort, joy, and excitement erupted from its mouth, causing the eyes of the Black Dragon to squint. The Magic Power Shane had poured into the Black Dragon’s body was now transforming into a force that was being rapidly absorbed by the Black Dragon. This caused the tumultuous Refined Demon Magic Power and Refined Demon Flesh within the Black Dragon to be stirred up, as if torn apart by an overwhelming external force, beginning to wobble unsteadily. The Black Dragon roared again. Beneath this roar, the Black Dragon’s momentum began to climb wildly, and its Level also started to fluctuate anew. However, this time, the Black Dragon’s Level did not fluctuate up and down but instead began to rise steadily from Level 93 as a starting point. In other words, the Black Dragon’s own power was growing ceaselessly. Shane suddenly smiled and continued to infuse Magic Power into the Black Dragon’s body. The increase in the Black Dragon’s power was precisely because of his “Taming” Skill. Demon beasts and beings capable of increasing their strength and Level through growth, be they Humans or the Demon Clan, are different. For Demon beasts, the most direct way to enhance themselves is to absorb Magic Power. They can convert Magic Power into their own strength, and some are even life forms born from the Magic Power Source; therefore, their means of advancing their Level and power is simple–it’s just about absorbing Magic Power. Why are Demon beasts attracted to Magic Power Sources and want to occupy them? It’s simple; they want to absorb the water from the Magic Power Sources, converting these springs of materialized Magic Power into their own strength to increase their Level. And if they lack the power to occupy a Magic Power Source, then the Demon beasts can only improve their own strength by devouring other individuals. That’s why Demon beasts continuously attack others, not just for predation but also to obtain Magic Power from the flesh and blood of their prey. At the same time, Demon beasts kill each other, the strong feed on the weak, the weak strive to survive and then prey on the even weaker, using it to achieve their own ends and stay alive. Only a few exceptions like Golems improve their power in other ways, such as by devouring precious metals, but that’s due to their own uniqueness. Fundamentally, Demon beasts are creatures that appropriate Magic Power for themselves and rely on it to enhance their Power. This method is somewhat similar to that of Tielle, who had become a “Ghost.” The difference lies in the fact that Tielle’s “Horn” can forcibly plunder all Magic Power around her, including from the atmosphere, earth, and even the world itself, and not like demon beasts, who must absorb Magic Power from others and the Magic Power Source. Moreover, although Demon beasts can absorb Magic Power to enhance their Power, the efficiency of this absorption is not high at all. A small Magic Power Source contains an extremely vast amount of Magic Power. If it could all be absorbed, it could definitely cause a Level 10 Demon beast to soar to Level 70 overnight. However, when in the Manggar Mountain Range, Shane had witnessed a Level 60+ Demon beast drinking dry a mid-sized Magic Power Source’s spring water and failing to immediately transform that Magic Power into strength. This is because the efficiency of Demon beasts absorbing Magic Power is not high. Considering a Magic Power Source’s spring water, even if a Demon beast drained it, in the end, the amount of Magic Power it could absorb is likely less than one ten-thousandth. Magic Power plundered from the outside world is , it can’t be entirely utilized perfectly because it is not one’s own Magic Power, ultimately resulting in a massive waste. From this perspective, Tielle’s “horn” is quite astonishing as it can completely transform the forcibly plundered Magic Power into strength, allowing Tielle’s power to rapidly climb, reaching Level 90 and above in a short period. It’s no wonder that this Unique Skill is regarded as on par with Luoqi’s reliance. However, even Tielle’s “horn” can only utilize these Magic Powers temporarily. Once the “horn” is chopped off, the Magic Power would automatically dissipate, causing Tielle’s Level to fall back to her original state after regaining consciousness. Furthermore, the forced plundering of external Magic Power for one’s own use ultimately affected Tielle’s own reason, which is another downside. This shows that it is very difficult to fully transform and utilize external Magic Power. Indeed, the Demon Refining Ceremony is the same. This ceremony, rather like Gu Refining, causes Demons and members of the Demon Clan to devour each other, absorbing the other’s Magic Power and flesh to strengthen and fortify themselves, ultimately resulting in the Refined Demon’s Fury and distortion. Thus, when Demons absorb external Magic Power, they waste most of it and only use a small part for themselves, which might be a form of self-protection. But when someone possesses the Tame Skill, this rule is broken. That’s because a person with the Tame Skill can transform Magic Power into a form easily absorbed by Demons, allowing them to completely absorb this Magic Power. As a result, Demons can absorb Magic Power with a far higher efficiency than usual, quickly enhancing their strength and becoming more powerful. Under such circumstances, the Demons begin to feel a sense of closeness and dependency on the Tamer by absorbing their Magic Power, ultimately leading to the Demon’s voluntary following and submission. This is the use of the Tame Skill. It was mentioned before that the Mitra Kingdom had a Taming Master whose Tame Skill Level wasn’t high, yet he possessed a Unique Skill that greatly increased the success rate of Tame, which essentially strengthened his ability to transform Magic Power. As a result, this Taming Master trained many Flying Dragons as mounts for the Kingdom. Now, Shane was using his Tame Skill to transform a vast amount of Magic Power into a form absorbable by the Black Dragon and infused it into its body. Of course, since the Black Dragon’s Level was already high, even if Shane’s Magic Power was vast, it couldn’t be simply and easily used to enhance its strength . The Black Dragon’s strength climbed so rapidly entirely because Shane used his Magic Power as a bridge, injecting it into the Black Dragon to strengthen its resistance and absorption abilities, allowing it to temper and purify its own Refined Demon Magic Power and Refined Demon Flesh. This task was supposed to be very difficult. If it hadn’t been for Shane’s Level 10 Tame Skill, which was amplified under the influence of Holy Sword, it would have been impossible to achieve this. Now, the Refined Demon Magic Power and Refined Demon Flesh were like being thrown into a furnace to be smelted all over again, first being crushed and then absorbed by the Black Dragon, becoming its power. The purpose of this was to remove the parts that caused madness and distortion from the Refined Demon Magic Power and Refined Demon Flesh, leaving only the essence to transform into pure Magic Power. Thus, the Black Dragon’s Magic Power kept climbing, and its Level also continued to rise without any chaos, pain, or causing its body to become distorted and protrude. And when the Black Dragon transformed all the Refined Demon Magic Power and Refined Demon Flesh inside its body into pure Magic Power and absorbed it completely, its aura became more powerful than ever before. As for its Level, it was firmly established. An invincible monster, nearing full Level, was born . “ROARROARROARROARROARROARROARROARROARRR——–!!” The earth-shaking dragon’s roar that declared its rebirth echoed throughout the Canyon, startling heaven and earth into a sudden tremor.
