"Burn!" Burn!" "Burn!"
Lost in rage, Isabelle's red eyes seemed to burn into flames, as she took one bandit's life after another
Slowly, with each second that passed, her sanity became more and more eroded
Deep within her bloodline, an uncontrollable force began to affect her directly, making it impossible for her to remain sane.
"Damn! Hey, what is this! What the hell is going on?"
"Talk! I'll kill you if you don't stop this crazy woman!"
Seeing his men falling one by one, their screams resounding through the air, the bandit leader began to become hysterical.
Holding his blade to Damien's neck, an idea suddenly crossed his mind.
Since both of them were from the same carriage, maybe he could use this kid to threaten her?
If he could, then wouldn't he have an extra capable person under his belt?
Thinking of this, his earlier fear had begun to transform into excitement.
"Haha! Stop her kid, or I'll kill you!"
"Hahah! Once I get this kind of powerhouse under my hand, then I, Iron Hand Morgan, will show those who called me a mere bandit fear-!"
Unfortunately, before he could start to celebrate, a palm condensed of shadow magic directly pierced his chest from behind
*Ack-!*
"I-I-I-impossible! How could you know magic!??!"
"And how can your attacks work on me? I'm the third-order Iron Hand Morgan!"
*Ack!*
Spitting out a clot of blood, Morgan couldn't understand what just happened.
Turning his head, he saw Damien staring at him with indifferent eyes.
His blue eyes looked down on him as if he were looking at an ant.
"Iron hand, Morgan? A no-name bandit who wasn't even mentioned in the original story? How dare you threaten me?"
"Had I not wanted to use you guys to stimulate Isabelle, I would never have bothered"
"However, now that she's like this, I have no choice but to step in"
"Shadow spike!"
Transforming the shadow palm in Morgan's body into a ball with thousands of spikes, Damien directly destroyed his body from the inside out
Scattering multiple organs and blood in the process.
"Ptueh! It tastes like iron," said Damien as he spat out some of the blood that had entered his mouth
*My first kill huh…, but why don't I feel anything*
*If this were my former world, I would have been arrested or in fear*
*But right now, not only do I not feel fear, but I don't feel excitement either.*
*It feels like I just stepped on an ant?*
Muttering inwardly, Damien couldn't help but feel confused about his current state.
Could it be that he inherently had no value of life? Or did dying once make him no longer feel value in life?
But thinking about it again, he felt that couldn't be true, after all, the whole reason he was on this trip was to find a way to save his and his parents' lives in the future
However, since that was the case, then why did he feel like this?
Thinking about it, Damien was lost in thought.
Unfortunately, Isabelle, in front of him, did not give him much time to think.
"kill…all…thosee…oposse…young…master…"
Muttering the same words that she had said before losing control, Isabelle slowly approached him, after killing the last target
However, seeing her approaching, Damien wasn't happy, but rather felt the strong killing intent she emitted.
A killing intent so strong that his expression instantly hardened.
"Damn it! I'll think about it later, right now I have to deal with Isabelle"
"Just what is in her bloodline that's covering my contract gem ability, no matter how much I try to control or talk to her?"
"It feels like I'm throwing a pebble into the sea, unable to generate any waves!"
Desperately trying to contact Isabelle through the contract gem, Damien's plan met no success.
"System, analyse what is going on with Isabelle, and how do I snap her back to her senses?"
Looking at her approach, he instantly turned his eyes to the system.
Perhaps this system, capable of changing the plot, could help him here
[Detecting host urgency….]
[Consuming 100Dp…]
[Target Isabelle condition has been analysed]
Subtracting 100dp from Damien's 750, a panel soon appeared in front of him.
[Name: Isabelle ??
Race: Half Demon(Baros-Ignian demon bloodline awakened)
Age: 21 years old
Realm: none
Affiliation: Voss household
Innate abilities: gravity manipulation, flame manipulation and creation
Condition: Currently being eroded by the residual will of the Baros-ignian Demon Lord, the only way to stop it is either to forcefully knock her unconscious or use DP to clear the residual will
Note after knocking her unconscious, the host can then use the contract gem to suppress the will, and as the host increases in strength, directly wipe it out himself.]
[DP required for clearance: 10,000Dp]
Reading the interface, Damien just nodded in response.
Although he had already expected it, seeing the system say the same, he knew fighting was his only way.
"In the original novel, a lot of people speculated that the reason half-demons lost control was because their bloodline purity was not strong enough, so their mortal minds could not withstand the residual will in the bloodlines"
"Whereas for full blooded demons, this original will serves as a form of bloodline inheritance, cultivating the next generation."
Muttering under his breath, pulled out a sword from the void gem, going to a battle stance.
"However, this damn system! If it wasn't that you couldn't reply, i would have called you a profiteer!"
"10,000Dp!? And it's not even a demon lord, just the residual will!" said Damien, his gaze fully fixed on Isabelle
Although he really didn't want to fight against her, at this point, he had no choice.
"Well, it's not all bad. I can also use this as an opportunity to test my newfound powers"
"Gravity domain: reduce gravity!"
"flame domain: flame sword"
"shadow magic: shadow wings"
"Arua boost: skeletal reinforcement!
Using his gravity manipulation, he instantly reduced the gravity around him, increasing his speed
Using his flame ability, he wrapped his sword in fire, giving it extra fire damage
Using his shadow magic, two black wings condensed of shadow protruded from his back, also boosting his speed
And lastly, he used his aura to reinforce his bones, allowing him to withstand his new speed and pressure.
Facing Isabelle, who had just awakened as a half-demon, he couldn't afford to hold back for a bit, as even in the novel, the weakest half-demon could kill twenty-third orders with ease and even some fourth orders.
"Hold on, Isabelle! This might hurt a bit!"
