Increase Talent: Become More Stronger!-Chapter 217: Contract with the demon
The Hiatus Announcement: Please Forgive Me.
=============
Impossible...
How could I have been defeated in the final test?
I... Please, I don't want to die.
Anyone... I hope someone will come and save me.
Unfortunately, no matter how much I wish for someone to help me, the truth remains undeniable—no one dares to approach the pressure of a sixth-rank monster.
If that weren't the case, would the people within hundreds of meters have chosen not to come closer?
They knew what kind of monster they were dealing with.
If they dared to approach, they couldn't be sure whether their lives could be saved.
And sure enough, what I feared became reality.
In a split second, I felt a powerful impact strike directly at my shoulder.
A cracking sound echoed, confirming that I could no longer withstand the attacks of the sixth-rank monster.
Just look—my shoulder bone had suffered a deep fracture.
With this alone, I knew it was impossible for me to stand up.
If I were to be honest, I couldn't even move one of my arms.
Yet, I had no intention of dragging those around me to their deaths.
Perhaps that's why, without hesitation, I chose to distance myself deep into the forest?
If I didn't save my comrades, would I be branded a traitor?
Still, I didn't care whether I was labeled a traitor or not.
What truly mattered was that I refused to be seen as worthless, as I was in my first life.
I knew—deep down, I understood that my nature in my first life was utterly despicable.
If I hadn't gone against my father, I wouldn't have been forced to die.
But so what? The reality of what happened could no longer be changed.
Unfortunately, just as I was reminiscing about my first life—
I heard the growl of the sixth-rank monster once again, as if it was intent on taking my life.
Before I realized it, I was forcibly lifted into the air, as if drawn toward the monster before me.
There was no doubt—it was highly possible that this monster had activated a controlling power.
Otherwise, how could I be floating in mid-air?
And sure enough, my suspicion was correct.
In less than a few seconds, I felt my mana being drained into the monster before me.
Unfortunately, just as I thought of giving up on my life—
A cold voice echoed, something I couldn't comprehend.
"Human... No. Are you really human? The scent of power flowing within you... I can sense that you are a demon."
"..." But the truth? The truth was that I didn't care about the monster's question—it was undeniable.
Perhaps that's why the monster before me became enraged when I refused to answer.
Without hesitation, I felt several of my bones being crushed by the monster's grip.
Crack!-
"Ugh!-" Even I... I couldn't help but cough up blood from my lips.
Was this... Was this the end?
Senior... Father... Mother...
I don't want to die... Please, someone help me. I don't care if I have to seek aid from a demon.
Blink-
"Kukuku~. Are you sure? Your life will never be the same again. Forming a contract with me means sacrificing your peace."
"Peace? What is peace? I have already endured suffering in both of my lives. I don't care whether I take sides or not. Give me power. I want your power!"
"Huahaha! Don't regret it! Remember your words! You are now my vessel. Do not disappoint me."
Shrink!-
For some reason, the demon's figure within me appeared to shrink as it merged into my body.
The moment it entered, I no longer felt fear.
Instead, I no longer cared whether I should feel fear at all.
In an instant, a terrifying aura loomed over the cloudy sky.
Even a towering pillar manifested, signifying the presence of a supreme being.
Within moments, my form had transformed into that of a demon.
Even my gaze alone was enough to instill oppression in those within thousands of meters.
"You... So you are a demon...? How did you..."
But before the sixth-rank monster could finish assessing my form—
It felt a crushing grip, as if an enormous hand had enveloped it.
And sure enough, its fears came true.
For some reason, shadowy hands formed around every part of the monster's body.
"Pathetic... A mere sixth-rank creature. Did you really think you could kill me? How pitiful."
"No... Who are you?! You're not that boy from before! Tell me, what in the world are you?!"
*"Kuahaha. I am the Beginning and the End. A Mythical-Rank Demon. The one who stands above all creation. The enemy of gods and goddesses. The Ruler Sovereign. And I am also the one who will bring fear to the divine— %$#?."
Even the sixth-rank monster's expression showed disbelief at what it had just heard.
Within its mind, it couldn't comprehend the meaning of my words.
But it guessed—assuming that my name was the most forbidden thing to be spoken of in this world.
"Oh, Lord... How could you allow such a being to exist in our world? I can't accept this... Argh!"
Unexpectedly, I watched as blood sprayed from the monster's eyes and mouth.
Until finally, the sixth-rank monster... It could do nothing but collapse, completely annihilated.
Boom!-
But still, from above the clouds, I extended my demonic hand toward the ground.
Even the sheer size of my hand... It was beyond anything I could have imagined.
If I had to estimate, the size of my hand was no different from that of an entire empire.
"Twenty monsters... Let me assist you. Consider this a small gift from me, my dear vessel~."
...
"Ugh... Why do I feel something strange happening within my small world?" muttered the Great Wizard, unaware of why he was experiencing intense pain in his abdomen.
By all logic, the Great Wizard knew that it was impossible for anyone below the Divine Realm to harm the small world of a King-level expert.
But why? What was causing this unending pain in his stomach?
He could only speculate that something unknown was occurring within his small world.
Without hesitation, the Great Wizard attempted to peek into his own internal world.
And sure enough, his fears became reality.
But unfortunately, just as his divine consciousness neared the source of the disturbance—
He was met with an unknown barrier, preventing him from approaching.
At first, the Great Wizard considered using his full power to break through the barrier before him.
But then—
He felt a terrifying gaze pierce into his mind.
He understood the meaning behind that gaze.
It was clear—it was warning him not to act recklessly.
"This ominous feeling... What's happening? Why do I feel so uneasy?"
The Great Wizard murmured, wondering if someone had infiltrated his small world.

If he recalled correctly, it should have been impossible for anyone beneath the King Stage to breach an expert's small world.
But why? What was happening within?
