(Demonic Forest)
Mio created his Ice Domain through his spell. A domain is something that a high-level mana user can create. With Mio's spell, the space between Fox and him became completely ice. Mio was creating sharp and pointed spikes of ice wherever he wanted within this space. Even though Fox's previous injuries were nothing, Mio's domain was working very well. Mio wanted to finish the thing in one spell without wasting time and energy.
"Ice Prison Lock"
With the help of the surrounding ice, the demonic hybrid's entire body froze in an instant. Elin looked at it. She could understand the difference between the two's ice magic. Elin was excited and watched Mio use the spell. Mio looks a lot like an ice queen. After creating the domain, a small ice crown formed on her head. So everyone suddenly saw Mio's beauty.
After the fox froze in the ice, countless ice spikes emerged from the ground. Which were so sharp that they tore the frozen fox apart. Seeing this scene, everyone's faces lit up with a smile of victory. Mio was quite tired from using his domain. His energy ran out after using the domain for a while. So he came to the others.
* * * *
After defeating the fox, the leaders of the two teams regained their senses. They took both teams far away from that spot. Because there might be more hybrids there. Although there was a fight between the leaders of the two teams, they were not able to do anything about it due to shame. So for the time being, the two teams are working together. However, they are keeping some distance from each other. Today, they are not going anywhere. The two teams are working to set up camps. Even if they work together, the two teams will not be able to live and eat together. So, Rasif and Chain have ordered to set up camps in separate places.
The members of the two teams are divided into three groups. The first group is preparing food separately for the two teams. The second group is busy setting up camps separately, and the last group is exploring the surroundings.
Alex is walking around the camp with Duface. In addition, several people from Rossif's team are guarding the area. Duface and Alex are away from the rest.
-->>Why did the daughter of Duke von Uexkuhl have to join our team when there were so many people? (Duface)
Duface couldn't hold back his excitement anymore and asked Alex. Alex's attention was on something else, so he couldn't understand what Duface said. An official letter had arrived at Rossif, stating that one of the two Duke's children would have to be transferred to another team as soon as possible. Rossif, considering the performance of the two, kept Edward and sent Elin to Chain's team. The main reason for this was that Edward had killed the most Demonic Beasts in their team so far. And besides, it was an attribute much stronger than Lightning Eyes. Rossif certainly didn't want to miss out on this.
Elin has now joined the chain's team. That brings their team's total to eleven members. Duface is a noble child. Even though he is a noble, his status is not like that of a duke's daughter. Even so, he dreams of getting Elin. His dream is completely unrealistic.
-->>Elin finally understood the value of my handsome looks. That's why she was crazy about joining our team. (Doofes)
Alex stared at what the boy said. Alex took one good look at Doofface's face. The chubby boy was trying to hide his embarrassment.
"Handsome!"
Alex was a little surprised, but he didn't let Duface understand that. But he started thinking, if a girl like Elin entered their team for Duface, then the sun would rise in the opposite direction from yesterday. Even then, each person's test is different. So Alex can't complain. However, the mission that Alex has to complete, if he doesn't complete the mission, the next mission won't open. And for which Alex doesn't want any competitors.
-->>Where are we going, Alex? The chain forbids us from going this way. This is where the hybrid fox is. (Doofface)
-->>Do you want to be a hero? You'll see that Elin will smile as soon as she sees you. (Alex)
Alex is going to do something else. But he can't tell Doofus that he's going to the hybrid. So he has to give a reason. And besides, he has to do something against the competitor. Doofus didn't say anything after hearing about being a hero. Alex was angry with him earlier for the bee incident. But in the moment he started to see Alex as a true friend. Alex likes to keep quiet, so Doofus didn't say anything.
Alex approached the dead body of the hybrid with Doofus. Black blood was spread all around. Dark energy was emanating from the blood, which Alex was asking to absorb.
"It would have been much better if we could have used Gluttony then."
Alex was very excited to fight with the hybrid. But that would make his power smaller in front of everyone. Alex believes that everyone here is stronger than him, because his level is lower than everyone else. Especially Elin, Edward who have question marks on their heads. Alex realized that he was far behind. So he had to use a shortcut quickly. Shortcut means level up.
-->>Look, I'm going to put some special makeup on your face. It's going to smell a little bit, but I'm sure it's going to make your face look a lot more special after using it. (Alex)
Alex made Doofus close his eyes. He took out a red berry from his bag and rubbed it with his hand. He rubbed it well with his hand and smeared it on Doofus' face. It gave off a very bad smell, which was very difficult to bear. But Doofus would do anything to be a hero. He was holding his nose and breathing through his mouth.
-->>You see my intelligence, I can't understand any smell like this. (Doofus)
It must be said that Doofus has intelligence. Alex smiled a little. He moved away from Doofus. Doofus could not speak and could not see. Because the bar is very sticky, which irritates the eyes if it gets in the eyes and creates a disgusting taste in the mouth.
That's what Alex needed. He's done hitting two rocks with the baryta. So he doesn't have to worry about Doofus at all. Doofus can't see him, so he doesn't have to worry about using Alex's skills.
"Gluttony"
Alex used the Gluttony skill. He activated it far away from Doofus. Otherwise, Doofus would have been stuck in its range. Black water spread around Alex in some places. It came out of Alex's body. Although the thing felt very uncomfortable to Alex, there was nothing he could do. The water started absorbing the entire fox.
The fox wasn't completely dead. When Mio killed the hybrid fox with his Ice Domain, Alex's Info skill was active. Alex's only skill that doesn't have a cooldown. It works well. Normally, the skill doesn't work that well at Alex's level, but it works well on dead and living objects. The Info skill won't work on dead objects. It hasn't worked on dead demonic beasts before, but Alex could still see question marks on the beast after Mio's fight.
The hybrid is still alive. So Alex was waiting for this moment. There is no one around and he has made Doofus a hero. So it has become the easiest to level him up. Such opportunities do not always come.
Alex absorbed the entire hybrid. Although the hybrid looked dead, it was gathering its energy. Which was trying to fix every cell of it. But before that, Alex absorbed its energy into the body.
Several projection screens appeared in front of Alex. Alex started checking them one by one. First, his status options,
""
Name: Alex
Job: Host of Jiduri
Sub-job: Assassin
Level: 28
Strength : 35
Vitality : 21
Agility : 43
Stamen : 35
Intelligence : 35
Luck : 12
Stat points: 25
""
Alex's level up wasn't working properly. Although this demonic hybrid beast was harmful, it was nothing compared to the previous one. Even so, Alex's level seemed to have improved a lot from that. Alex didn't level up properly before. But since he chose the sub job, his level up is happening at a certain rate. Which is a very good thing. Alex changed his status options. He had only focused on agility before, so his vitality and intelligence weren't that high. So he used the stat points to vitality, intelligence, and agility.
""

Strength : 35

""
Alex's eyes moved away from this screen. Because there were other screens next to it. Alex looked at the one next to it. Which was about a new skill.
-->>Congratulations Master. You have received a new skill "Regenerate". The "Regenerate" skill is a passive skill. There is no need to activate it. If there is a wound on your body, it will start to heal with the help of energy without you having to do anything.
Suddenly Alex heard that familiar voice. Ring was talking. To be precise, Jiduri was talking to him. Alex understood Jiduri's responsibility to some extent. Alex felt a little relieved after hearing him speak after a long time. So he wasn't that interested in the skill.
Alex was about to talk to the ring when an arrow came towards Alex from a distance. Alex might not have realized it at the time. However, his increased intelligence had also increased his reflexes. And because of his high agility, he easily dodged the arrow. But what happened next, Alex couldn't believe it. A girl standing on a huge ice arrow was coming towards him. It was none other than Elin.
* * * *
Elin has been following Alex and Doofus for quite some time. She is somewhat certain that Alex has the last key. But since there is no complete proof, she cannot say it. And besides, the bird with her bracelet is not certain that the boy is the host of Jiduri. Since the bird has been able to feel Jiduri's energy in this forest, Elin can somehow say that one of them is Jiduri's host.
However, Elin's suspicions fall on Alex. Dark energy is an energy that no one can control. The main reason for this is what Elin heard from the bird. Since the bird has all the knowledge of Prince Beelzebub, Elin has learned the reason why the Dark Attributers are weak.
There are many rulers in this vast world. Who are the controllers of each substance. And the ruler of the Dark Attribute, "The Dark Ruler", has been missing for thousands of years. It is believed that he is dead, so no Dark Attributer can use Dark Energy properly.
However, Elin saw that Alex was completely the opposite. During the test, she had focused on his chanting. Which was the most opposite. Even then, she wanted to become a Sero before doing anything. If Alex was not the host of Jiduri, then she would have to find a host immediately.
When Elin saw Alex use a familiar power from a distance, Elin became certain. She would never forget that power. Seeing the same dream every night, Elin no longer had any doubts.
-->>Yes, that's Gluttony. (Elaine)
Elin immediately made a bow with her ice magic. It was very difficult to use mana energy to heal something. But it didn't matter to Elin. A small bow was created in her hand with which she shot an arrow at Alex. It didn't end there. This time she created a huge crossbow, which was more like an automatic crossbow. Elin had made the arrow aimed at Alex, so she jumped up and stood on the arrow and pressed the trigger of the crossbow. She started moving towards Alex at a very fast speed. She had no more doubts. Elin smiled at the thought that she would finally be able to meet the last Aries.
