"Hahaha, human. Did you really think killing would be that easy?"
Suddenly, a ghostly illusion of Velmiran appeared above Daniel.
"Why the hell did I think killing your kind was ever easy? Ugh." Daniel sighed, as if realizing things still weren’t over.
Suddenly, droplets of blood from the Noble Demon’s corpse started forming and reconstructing a new body.
Not just his blood—every drop spilled from the entire demon army began floating in the air.
"Die for , so I can destroy our enemies today," Velmiran said, and at once, the remaining demons turned to ash.
They exploded into pools of blood, but instead of falling to the ground, the blood flew toward their commander.
"What the hell is this...?" Daniel swallowed and took a few steps back.
An overwhelming sense of dread filled his chest. He wanted to do sothing—but every cell in his body was frozen with fear.
Velmiran’s body reford—but this ti, it was very different.
Two demonic horns had erged from his forehead. He was taller, his body far more muscular.
And none of that compared to his aura—it surged suddenly and broke into Rank A!
But he didn’t stop there. His power kept increasing—until he reached Mid A-Rank and finally stopped.
Feeling Velmiran’s power, Daniel swallowed again. His limit was just barely A-Rank, and even that wasn’t certain.
Now he had to fight a Mid A-Rank? Did he even stand a chance?
Why the hell do demons always transform or evolve right before dying? Can’t they just die quietly like normal enemies?
"Congratulations, human. You’ve forced to enter my true form. As a reward, I’ll make sure you wish for death before I end you." The Noble Demon smirked with a sinister grin.
"Uhh... what if I don’t want a reward?" Daniel scratched his head.
Velmiran raised his hand with a wicked grin, and with a breath of dark energy, he unleashed a poisonous black wave at Daniel. Daniel imdiately activated:
[ Strike of Destruction ]
A black, deadly aura wrapped around Heavens Honor, and Daniel jumped straight into the attack, enhanced with Death Energy. But Velmiran didn’t even bother dodging. With a simple hand motion, he summoned a Blood Shield, and Daniel’s attack lted away on impact.
"Your pathetic flailing amuses , insect!" Velmiran laughed, his voice rumbling like thunder across the land.
Daniel gritted his teeth and activated:
[ Eyes of Destruction ]
Black and red beams fired from his eyes toward Velmiran—but the demon dodged in a flash using:
[ Eternal Wrath ]
In a split second, he was right in front of Daniel.
His fists, now empowered with Hellish Bloody Fists, slamd into Daniel’s chest. The sound of his ribs shattering echoed in his ears. The pain burned like molten steel inside his body. Blood gushed from his mouth. His legs gave out, and he was thrown to the ground.
Every breath felt like a dagger to the lungs. He activated Mana Healing with all his strength. Green light slowly closed his wounds, but the pain lingered—his shattered bones seed to still be screaming.
Velmiran gave him no ti. He summoned:
[ Blood Chains ]
Red, burning chains erupted from the ground, wrapping around Daniel’s arms and legs. His skin burned. The sll of seared flesh filled the air. His life energy was rapidly being drained.
Daniel scread—the pain was so intense that his vision blurred.
With shaky determination, he spun his sword and shattered the chains—but Velmiran only laughed as he stepped closer.
"What’s wrong, little leader? Can’t stand up anymore?" Another punch smashed into Daniel’s face. His cheekbone cracked. Blood and broken teeth splattered across the ground.
Daniel collapsed. His body was full of deep wounds and burns.
Still... he activated Mana Healing again. The green light was dimr now—his mana was clearly running out.
Velmiran’s attacks weren’t simple. Each strike carried an energy that sank deep into the bones and organs, making healing much harder.
Daniel stared at the Noble Demon’s shadow and activated:
[ Shadow Weapons ]
Black blades ford from the demon’s shadow and lunged toward him.
But Velmiran smirked and summoned the Blood Shield once more. The blades vanished as they struck it.
"These childish tricks are just wasting ti!" Velmiran roared, and with another punch, slamd Daniel in the stomach. His gut collapsed. He coughed up blood, and his body crashed to the ground like a ragdoll. Every cell in his body scread in agony, as if he was burning alive from the inside.
Amid the darkness and pain, Daniel closed his eyes and entered his Spiritual Sea. He dove into the depths of himself, where three orbs—his past, present, and future—awaited.
[ Self-Transcendence ]
Suddenly, ti itself seed to freeze. The world went silent. Daniel found himself in a boundless space filled with glowing lights and shifting shadows. Echoes of his past—his sister’s screams, Tiana’s voice—and blurry images of the future flooded his mind.
An imnse power, as if drawn from Eternity itself, surged through his veins. His body shined. A golden and black aura surrounded him. His wounds healed instantly.
His eyes opened—now filled with light that seed to hold entire stars. His power surged—reaching A-Rank.
"Good... looks like I was right. My current body can handle A-Rank Awakened power." Daniel let out a breath of relief.
He had feared his body might collapse under the pressure.
Velmiran froze for a mont. What the hell just happened?
"You think so flashy glow is gonna scare ?" But his smirk returned quickly.
"Nothing like that... I just decided to get serious," Daniel said.
He raised his sword and activated:
[ Crimson Judgnt ]
The sky turned blood red, and hundreds of blood swords—each weaker than Eternal Judgnt but still deadly—rained down from above. They flew at Velmiran like a storm.
A few stabbed into his arms and shoulders. Black blood sprayed. Velmiran roared and dashed at Daniel using Eternal Wrath. Fists and sword clashed at insane speeds.
Daniel used [Strike of Destruction] and [Eyes of Destruction] to try and push him back, but the demon blocked every attack with his Blood Shield or dodged them with inhuman speed.
"That’s all you’ve got? I’m a little disappointed!" Velmiran laughed and slamd a Hellish Bloody Fist into Daniel’s side. A deep wound tore open. Blood sprayed. Daniel dropped to his knees. The pain was so intense it felt like his body would rip apart.
How... how can I still not reach him?
With his last breath, Daniel gathered all his mana.
[ Eternal Judgnt ]
The sky turned redder than ever, as if it was bleeding.
This ti, he poured everything into the skill. Worst-case scenario—he’d die and use Apocalypse afterward.
A massive, blood-soaked sword, filled with Death and Destruction energy, ford in the sky and hurled itself at Velmiran.
But the demon laughed wildly and activated:
[ Bloody Annihilation ]
A massive explosion of blood and darkness devoured the sword. The shockwave hit Daniel—tearing his skin, breaking his bones, and throwing him to the ground like a shattered stick.
Blood poured from every wound. His vision went dark. His breath was ragged. Velmiran walked up slowly, placed a foot on Daniel’s chest, and said:
"Told you. You’ll be begging for death. Now it’s ti."
The Noble Demon raised his hand. A circular red aura ford at his fingertip.
[ Endless Hell ]
A full-scale attack ant to destroy both body and soul.
On the brink of death, Daniel’s mind plunged into darkness. Just sensing the aura made him shiver.
This thing could damage his soul—it might not kill him outright, but it would definitely wear down his spirit. If that happened, the quality of his soul might be destroyed.
Damn it... He hadn’t expected that even after reaching A-Rank, he still wouldn’t be able to defeat this demon.
But then—he felt sothing crack.
Sothing inside him shattered. A wall—an invisible limit that had held him back—collapsed.
An imnse power surged through him, as if from beyond ti itself. His eyes opened, now filled with light that contained both Death and Eternity.
His aura exploded. It felt as though his very existence had evolved to a higher dinsion.
