Became a Demon with Pregnancy System-Chapter 171: I’m Weak, I’m Proud

Boom!!

The entire Kun Forest erupted in a massive explosion, releasing a shockwave of destructive force.

After absorbing several high-powered mid-level spells, its explosion rivaled half of a high-level spell in sheer force.

Marissa Jones had intentionally detonated it instead of using the energy absorption effect of her Dark Mandala Flowers.

This meant she wouldn’t be able to use them again for a while, but the devastation was well worth it.

"Cousin!!"

Noah Truffle screamed, trying to rush toward the burning battlefield—

But the massive heatwave sent him flying backward.

Laurence Mann stood at the center of the explosion, his face twisted in fury.

He had underestimated these students.

He never expected a group of academy mages to have such sharp instincts—

And more importantly, such flawless teamwork.

From the moment Marissa cast Kun Forest, to the coordinated magical bombardment, to the instant detonation—

Everything had been executed in less than five seconds.

But what infuriated Laurence the most—

Was that he had miscalculated Marissa’s power.

A normal plant-based control spell shouldn’t have been this destructive.

But her Dark Mandala Flowers had been anything but normal.

Rock Demon Pupil – Petrification!

Laurence’s eyes darkened, his entire eye sockets turning pitch black.

In an instant, the petrification energy surged forward—

Stopping the explosion of three of the flowers before they could fully detonate.

The vines closest to Laurence turned to solid stone, weakening the explosion’s destructive power.

But even with that—

The blast had been devastating.

Of the twenty military officers under Laurence’s command—

At least ten had been vaporized instantly.

The rest were injured, caught in the blast radius before they could fully activate their defenses.

Laurence’s face twisted in rage.

"Run!"

Marissa didn’t hesitate.

The moment she saw petrification magic, she grabbed Bella White and Zoe Miller, fleeing at top speed.

A high-level spell like that?

They couldn’t win.

The Celestial Academy team and Monica Winters immediately scattered in different directions.

Even the students from Imperial Capital Academy stood there, frozen in shock.

They had no idea why the Celestial Academy team had suddenly attacked the military mages—

But after seeing what Laurence just did, the truth was painfully clear.

These weren’t military mages.

They were butchers.

"Noah Truffle, what the hell did you say?!"

Laurence kicked aside the burning vines, his murderous gaze locking onto Noah.

They hadn’t even made a move yet, so how had these students figured it out?

Noah staggered backward, shaking his head frantically.

"Cousin, I— I didn’t say anything! I don’t know why they attacked first!"

Laurence narrowed his eyes.

"You’re lying."

"Cousin, please!"

Noah pleaded, but before he could finish, Laurence grabbed him by the collar.

The students from Imperial Capital Academy stared, horrified.

"Noah, what’s going on?"

Zara Root clung to Noah’s arm, her face filled with fear and confusion.

The moment her hand touched him—

A fireball blasted her away.

Noah’s face turned pale.

Laurence spat in annoyance.

"Tch. Useless."

Then, his gaze turned cold again.

"Jared, take three men and kill that plant mage."

"The rest of you, fan out and slaughter them all."

Laurence’s command was final.

Immediately, the remaining military officers moved.

But before they could—

Liao Maddaux, Everett Payne, and Bryce Harding collapsed as petrification magic locked their bodies in place.

"What the hell—"

Liao Maddaux’s eyes widened in terror.

He finally understood.

These weren’t military mages.

They were murderers.

"What kind of bastard are you?!" he shouted.

"Listen to me! I, Liao Maddaux, am the son of Graham Maddaux from the Imperial Capital Magic Association! If you kill me, my family will wipe yours out!"

Laurence tilted his head.

"Oh?"

Then, without hesitation, he grinned.

"Then you’re definitely dying first."

Laurence’s petrification magic spread, but he deliberately left half of Liao Maddaux’s body intact—

Then kicked the exposed half with full force.

The sickening sound of bones shattering echoed through the air.

Liao Maddaux screamed in agony, his voice cutting into the night.

The students from Imperial Capital Academy finally realized the truth.

These weren’t their allies.

These were monsters in disguise.

Laurence wiped his boot against the dirt, uninterested.

Then, he turned back to Noah.

"That girl got away."

"Go kill her."

Noah’s eyes widened in terror.

"Cousin...?"

Laurence grabbed him by the jaw, forcing him to look directly into his blackened eyes.

"If you refuse," he said casually,

"You die first."

Noah froze.

His entire body trembled.

After a moment, he nodded.

"...I’ll do it."

Laurence smirked.

"Good boy."

Then, as Noah ran off, Laurence turned his eyes to the main target.

His body lifted off the ground, his eyes scanning the ruins below.

Then, he saw him.

Nate Dawson, riding atop the Star Wolf, dashing through the ruined cityscape.

Laurence’s lips curled into a cruel smile.

"You’re mine."

The moment he finished speaking, he vanished from sight—

Reappearing in the air above Nate, unleashing a storm of petrification magic.

Nate’s Star Wolf suddenly skidded to a stop, nearly throwing him off.

Before he could even ask what was wrong, a massive tornado of stone magic formed directly in front of them.

"What the hell?!"

Nate barely dodged—

But the tornado’s shockwave still sent him flying.

Laurence hovered above him, his petrified gaze locked onto his prey.

"You’re not going anywhere," Laurence said coldly.

Petrification magic rushed forward.

Nate reacted on instinct, activating his Shadow Magic just in time to dodge.

But the moment he returned to normal form—

His entire body froze in horror.

Because standing in front of him—

Was something far worse than Laurence Mann.

A giant three-eyed one-horned demon wolf, its muscular body towering over him, its two massive wings stretching out like a king’s mantle.

And more importantly—

It wasn’t just a Commander-level beast.

It had surpassed the lesser commanders, landing straight into the mid-commander tier.

The demon wolf’s golden eyes gleamed with intelligence, filled with pride and excitement.

It let out a booming roar, shaking the ruins beneath them.

And then—

It ignored Nate completely, charging straight for Laurence Mann.

For the first time in his life—

Nate Dawson thought to himself,

"I’m weak... and I’m proud of it."

After all—

Being weak means I get to live.

"Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf?!"

"How can there be such a creature here?!"

Laurence Mann’s eyes widened in shock as he watched the giant wolf beast charge toward him.

It was the three-eyed one-horned demon wolf—the very one that had devoured the monitor lizard pseudo-dragon and evolved into a terrifying new form.

Now, it was unrecognizable.

The Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf had perfectly inherited the flight abilities of the monitor lizard pseudo-dragon, along with the blood of the evil dragon.

But something even more astonishing had happened—

The wolf’s original mutated bloodline had further enhanced the evil dragon’s blood, making it even purer.

Its body was more streamlined, its movements swifter, and with two massive wings, its speed had exceeded its own realm.

"ROAR!!!"

The Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf had spent an entire day on the brink of death, undergoing an unimaginable evolution.

Now, its entire body trembled with power.

And it had nowhere to release it.

That’s when Luke told it—

"There’s a strong enemy over there. Go have fun."

And so, it rushed excitedly toward Laurence Mann.

This was exactly the kind of opponent it wanted!

As a Grand Commander, Laurence was a high-level Earth Mage with terrifying strength.

His Rock Demon Pupil was one of the strongest earth-based magic techniques.

Even the monitor lizard pseudo-dragon, if facing him alone, wouldn’t have been able to kill him.

This was perfect.

The Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf grinned.

But Laurence?

Laurence was panicking.

His Rock Demon Pupil had been pushed to its limit.

Everything within a hundred meters was turning into gray stone, including trees, rocks, and the very ground itself.

But the Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf was barely affected.

Its fur turned slightly gray, but before the petrification could spread, it simply shed the gray fur—leaving itself completely unharmed.

"ROAR!!!"

The Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf inhaled deeply, its chest expanding.

Then—

It unleashed a scorching breath attack, aimed directly at Laurence’s face.

Laurence reacted instantly, activating his Wind Wings to dodge to the side.

The flames barely missed him, but he could feel the searing heat.

The Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf smirked.

Laurence’s rage boiled over.

"You damn beast! Get out of my way!"

He wasn’t here to fight a monster—

His real target was Nate Dawson!

But no matter how much he tried to break through, the Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf blocked him every time.

Meanwhile, Nate had already realized what was happening.

He urged the Star Wolf forward, racing deeper into Jinlin Deserted City.

Laurence’s face twisted in frustration.

If he didn’t deal with this annoying beast, he’d lose Nate!

His eyes darkened.

"Fine. You want to fight? I’ll grant your wish!"

Stars began to swirl around Laurence’s entire body, forming a powerful star map.

Then—

Constellations locked into place.

Rock Demon Pupil – Veil of Heaven!

Laurence’s Veil of Heaven was completely different from Lenora Quinn’s elegant empress-like style.

His was brutal. Violent. Unforgiving.

Every petrified object around him—

Exploded.

Countless shards of rock and sand surged around Laurence, forming a massive sandstorm.

Within seconds, the storm condensed—

And then—
