Irrevocably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unknown yet familiar feeling was making him feel weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It coiled beneath his skin like something not quite his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did that mean that as long as he consumed the hearts of demonic lifeforms, he would keep undergoing such changes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know how to feel about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... wouldn’t the exorcist clans hunt me down if they knew of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought, a bit alarmed, but calmed down the next second as he thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t exactly easy to trace anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had Abyss energy with him, he could feel assured about his privacy at the very least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after the transformation earlier, his abyss energy was stronger than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Denser.

The cave was destroyed, perhaps from his energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jagged rock lay in shambles, and the air still shimmered with lingering static.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place is too risky.

He knew it too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Else Oliver wouldn’t have made it out of there had the demon king been as valiant as he was in past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the purpose of leaving behind the soul fragment...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was pondering on its implications, a voice called him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked behind.

Your... vibe? Something feels different.\" She stroked her chin and thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your energy is... weird. Wilder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is it because I consumed the serpent and the soul fragment?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver felt it was quite likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind that. Tell me, are you fine?\" he asked her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, what do we do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver looked around speechlessly. He was lost too, having no idea what to do either. Having no particular sense of direction upon where to go, he was in a dire situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were in enemy land, armed with power but blind in purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Randomly going anywhere might just get themselves killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if they stumbled upon a beast of might they could not fight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the demon king’s memories, he experienced the simulated terror of what sort of demonic monsters were living in this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was starting to feel that he made a huge mistake by coming to this place just for the thrill of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, he was one of the idiots he used to look down on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was lost about what he should do next, his sharp ears detected a sound drawing close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something’s coming this way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Agnes blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Agnes and distanced himself, swiftly walking behind some debris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a snap of his fingers, an abyssal dome covered the two of them, completely erasing their presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It settled like ink across water—silent, undetectable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of rumbling thundered and became extremely clear to even Agnes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded as if a band of horses was marching straight to this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver peeked slightly and saw a group of demons riding what appeared to be a grotesque hybrid between horse and elephant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked to be warriors or soldiers from their armors and the general atmosphere surrounding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the demons spoke in a harsh tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The worst has happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The lord won’t be pleased,\" another demon replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We might face severe punishment if we don’t find who did this,\" another guard spoke in a tense tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Decades of work... it’s all ruined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"WHO DID THIS!?\" the demon at the front, appearing to be the leader, yelled aloud. His voice was strong and terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agnes flinched as she heard the shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver’s eyes were calm as he analyzed the situation from afar, assessing the strength of the unfamiliar group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were five riders. One aura felt like ice over steel. Dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had noted the key information from their conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These demons were likely part of some sort of platoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They served a demon lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was deliberately planted here by the lord for some reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lord of these demons was plotting something big apparently, working on it for decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ruined everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were now furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, we reached here as soon as the signals were disturbed. The trespasser could not have gone far after doing this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Search every corner, turn every rock.
