Damned Healer-Chapter 192: Consumed By Rage

Everyone was shocked by Darian’s words. Seeing 90% of the essences falling straight into his hands, they suddenly felt... maybe he really could take the seeds.

But... did he just say he’d take both? Was he seriously trying to steal something that everyone knew belonged to those two terrifying demons?

"Has Darian lost his mind?! If he absorbs that many essences, everyone’s gonna target him!" Irana blurted, stunned.

No wonder Darian was so confident. Everyone had to work really hard — even the natives had to fully focus — just to gather a tiny bit of essence.

But Darian... was absorbing tens of thousands in an instant. And there were still more rushing toward him. It was like an endless wave. Enough to drive anyone crazy.

Darian just shoved everything into his inventory like it was nothing. With the info he got from Rhea, his original plan was to hold back until the very end.

By waiting until the second trial was almost over, there would still be a massive amount of essence left in the area. Then, he could just absorb it all at once, getting a huge advantage to grab the seeds.

It had to be at the end. Otherwise, he’d become a target for the strongest ones. Because the moment someone dies, all the essence they collected gets released for others to grab.

It wasn’t just Irana who was stunned. Everyone watching was straight-up speechless. This method... it was insane. Nothing like this had ever happened before.

"Damn... if I hadn’t... revealing that trump card now just made him blow his whole plan..." Irana muttered under her breath, frustrated, finally understanding how simple Darian’s plan actually was.

That’s why he’d stayed low-key. No one had seen the Milky Way Alliance effortlessly killing the shadows in the first trial.

"Nah, going big was the right call. Don’t feel bad about it," Lucy mumbled casually next to her. "What’s there to be scared of? No one here’s even remotely a threat to my big bro."

Irana glanced at the little human girl, who was clearly proud. That confidence just seemed... completely delusional. How could a support-type be stronger than everyone here?

At that moment, Woldi stood up.

His whole body was shaking, but somehow, he was fully healed — not a scratch left... at least, not one he could notice. Because deep inside, a dark, sinister virus had already taken root.

"The human race... really loves flirting with death, huh?! Fine, I’ll make sure you get what you’re asking for!" Woldi exploded with killing intent.

He spread his wings, and the golden feathers turned into a deep blood-red. Then, this miserable, wailing sound echoed out — like millions of ghosts crying.

"You’re the first one to ever force me to use the Demon Collector’s Supreme Artifact. Go ahead and die in peace."

Darian snorted. Earth had maybe one or two supreme artifacts for each S-rank clan. And this filthy rich bastard? He had two all to himself. His planet probably treated supreme artifacts like regular gear for anyone above average.

Woldi roared. The golden light mixed with this eerie red aura. That new artifact... it was designed to refine the life force of others. Simple concept — but power like that was no joke.

Even scarier... it got way stronger when fused with the other artifact. He charged, tearing the space around him apart.

"Dan, why’s this guy still running his mouth? Ugh... How about ripping out all his feathers? Let’s see if he’s still that cocky," Niara mocked loudly. Everyone heard it.

Darian snorted again... and charged forward too. His Seven Elemental Stars Physique activated at full power.

He was never the type to fight head-on... but right now, he felt an insane level of confidence.

Back in the other universe, he was always capped at 30% of his power. And even then, he had to deal with powerful Risen — enemies he straight-up had zero chance of beating. Darian was constantly forced to run, outsmart, or pull some insane trick to survive. But now... he wanted to go all in.

*BOOM!*

A massive explosion shook the area as the fist of a tiny human clashed against the claws of a ten-meter-tall winged beast.

Two colored half-spheres collided. On Woldi’s side — gold and blood-red. On Darian’s side — a full-on rainbow of colors.

Neither of them budged. And to everyone’s shock... Darian’s eyes were completely calm. Woldi, on the other hand, was clearly straining hard.

Darian smiled internally at his discovery. He had the stars absorb just a bit of the powerful elemental runes from this universe... and now, his physical power could rival a massive, powerful beast.

To his surprise, the Seven Elemental Star Physique above level nine wasn’t just about resistance and elemental control. This was a higher level that didn’t even exist before — something he was creating himself with his own power. The elements absorbed by the stars were boosting his physical strength, letting him fight like an actual warrior.

Of course, to use this, the energy cost from the ring on his forehead — the one that pulled the elements — was insane. It wasn’t something worth using all the time, but now... it was a new option.

The biggest question in his mind was... what’s the limit of this?

Everyone watching swallowed hard. Darian was like an immovable mountain. No matter how much Woldi tried to crush him... Darian wouldn’t budge.

Seeing this, Woldi’s face twisted into a cruel grin. "Perfect... You’ve got a lot of nice little secrets... but soon, they’ll all be mine."

Out of nowhere, tons of red runes shot out from Woldi’s wings. They quickly came together, turning into blades that flew straight at Darian.

But the moment they got close... boom — they exploded.

"Huh? Still throwing around flashy, shiny crap with zero power behind it?" Niara mocked.

Woldi’s pupils narrowed. He could feel the runes slipping out of his control... exactly like what happened earlier with the golden power.

Darian had just activated the rings. Woldi didn’t actually have real control over that power — he was just some spoiled rich kid relying on supreme artifacts. Cutting the connection... then detonating everything... was stupidly easy.

While Woldi was still stunned by that, Darian’s left hand curved back — then, another punch flew straight in. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

*BANG!*

Woldi’s face twisted like rubber. The ground shook as he crashed down, smashing a massive crater into the earth.

Everyone watching was in shock. Not only did Darian block the attack... but he still had enough power left to smash Woldi into the ground like that? Was the gap between them really this huge?

Woldi scrambled back up as fast as he could. Winds of pure power exploded outward in every direction.

But the essences... they were still flowing straight into Darian the whole time. Anyone paying attention was even more freaked out now. Wait — was he not even fighting seriously? How the hell was he brawling like this and absorbing at the same time?

Standing there, calm as ever... Darian looked like an absolute battle god. Completely untouchable.

"DIE!"

Woldi shot forward like lightning, his killing intent shaking the skies.

His entire body burst into pure bloodline flames. He was totally consumed by rage — no holding back now.

Everyone watching felt their hearts skip. His power had just multiplied several times over. Woldi looked completely unhinged — like he’d gone totally feral.

At the same time, this insane flood of golden power came pouring out of the supreme artifact floating in the sky. It was like an entire damn ocean crashing down. All of it surged into Woldi, adding to him — creating this suffocating pressure that weighed down on everyone.

Even the two demons widened their eyes. Up until now, they’d just been watching, pretty sure they could overpower Woldi too if they burned enough trump cards. For all they knew, Darian was burning a bunch of hidden cards as well — so they weren’t all that surprised at first.

But now... Woldi was throwing down a major card. If they were the ones fighting right now... they’d already be turning around and running for their damn lives.
