From Imp to Demon God: Conquering the Demon World With a Succubus-Chapter 53: Life and Death Battle 3

As soon as Myles grabbed his wrist, it was immediately broken. Myles executed the funeral clasp of the Aegis Hand-to-Hand Combat in Crimson Guard rank.

Thankfully, his fingers’ bones were tougher than the Shadowbind Knight’s wrist.

Myles took the chance while the Shadowbind Knight was stunned by his sudden appearance and executed the fifth core technique of the Aegis Hand-to-Hand Combat in the Crimson rank called the Last Veil.

He grabbed the Shadowbind Knight’s other wrist and raised his right leg. Without hesitation, he kicked the chest of the Shadowbind Knight with pure brute strength, not consuming demonic energy from his demonic core after it was completely depleted from executing the second step.

Surprisingly, Myles’ foot pierced through the chest of the Shadowbind Knight’s armor and body, instantly ending his life.

Of course, Myles broke his ankle as a result, but it was the cost of executing the Last Veil.

Myles slowly pulled his right leg from the Shadowbind Knight, who remained standing.

There was still a speck of lifeforce left, so he did not hesitate to take the chance to pierce with his hands on his abdomen, and consumed his demonic core.

At the same time, the voice in his head, which was unusually quiet during the consumption of the demonic core of the demon noble, finally echoed in his mind.

[You have consumed demonic energy of a Common Demon Rank 1 and Greater Demon Rank 5.

Your core is mutating to fully store the demonic energy you’ve consumed.

...

Your core mutated into Common Demon Rank 1.

Your core is still mutating...

Your core mutated into Greater Demon Rank 5.

Congratulations.]

Myles’ eyes widened. He did not expect his core to mutate into Greater Demon Rank. He thought. I forgot I also consumed the demonic core of the incubus. I only thought of gaining a law fragment.

I earned a lot!

As Myles was feeling jubilant, the voice in his head echoed again.

[You have consumed a demonic core of a Greater Demon, acquiring a law fragment of Law of Shadow.

You have also gained the innate ability of the incubus called Shadow Thread (Rare).

You have also gained an innate ability of the Shadowbind Knight called Dominion Thread (Rare).]

Myles was about to rejoice, when the voice in his head echoed once again.

[It has been detected that two rare skills are deeply compatible with each other. Do you want to fuse them and acquire an Epic skill?]

Myles was stunned. He did not hesitate anymore and said, "Yeah, do it."

[Two rare skills, Shadow Thread and Dominion Thread, are being fused...

It has been fused.

You have gained an innate ability in the Epic rank, Shadow Manipulation.]

Myles trembled when he heard the title. He thought. It sounds overpowered.

However, the voice in his head was not finished announcing yet.

[You have gained an innate ability in the Epic rank, causing the law of shadow affinity to reach the high grade.

You can now learn demonic arts related to the Law of Shadow.]

Myles was speechless. He thought the only way to increase the level of his law affinity was through consuming the demonic core of the demon noble, but it appeared there was another way.

However, compared to consuming the demonic core, increasing the level of his affinity through fusion of rare rank related skills seemed more difficult.

Myles waited for a while until the voice in his head seemed to have gone quiet and checked his demonic core.

It has grown to some extent and the demonic energy it contained was more refined. The demonic energy was lawless, but as soon as he willed it, it would turn into any law he currently has affinity with.

He wanted to turn it into laws of shadow, but he was wary of a powerful individual, who might sense it.

In the end, he restrained himself as he regained his consciousness in reality.

He felt a warm embrace behind him and instantly recognized it was Violet.

Violet sobbed quietly. She mumbled, stuttering, "I-I thought I was going to die, you idiot."

Myles rolled his eyes and replied, "Have you forgotten I marked you with my blood? I can easily appear beside you, you know."

Violet paused and suddenly began to punch Myles. She said, "So you planned it all along, huh? To scare me?"

Myles did not reply. Truth to be told, it took him some time to consume the demonic core of a demon noble. It was the first time their demonic core, after all.

Hence, as soon as he was finished, without having to turn around and check Violet’s condition, he did not hesitate to deplete all his demonic energy to appear in front of the Shadowbind Knight.

If it was not because his demonic core must have mutated into Common Demon Rank 1 after consuming the demonic core of a demon noble, also replenishing his demonic core, he might not be able to cross a half kilometer distance teleport.

Myles had to applaud for his luck, but he seriously ruminated over the fact it could have gone worse. He did not expect the arena referee to not stop the fight when he had already killed the demon noble.

He thought. There must have been some agreements with the guardians and the referee we were not instructed about.

In the end, it went well, but Myles had to take it as a lesson. Without hesitation, he turned around and hugged Violet, comforting her.

He did so, knowing it might infuriate the other succubus if he ignored Violet hugging him. If he reciprocated and comforted her, it might appear as if he was assuring her that he did not forget his responsibility and purpose.

He mumbled, "I did not expect the arena referee or any guardians to stop the Shadowbind Knight from killing you after his master was already killed by me. Thankfully, I arrived just in time."

Violet, who was weeping to her heart’s content, was stunned. The realization kicked in to the point she was not saddened, but completely angered by the truth.
