Chapter 246 - Gryphon And Wyvern (1/2)
When Evan harnessed the power of the 68th demon, King Belial, demonic energy came out of his body. But Evan noticed something strange. He clearly felt that not only demonic energy was emanating from his body but also divine energy.
<This is very strange. In my past life, I had used the power of the 68th demon, King Belial, many times, but I had never once felt the presence of divine energy, so what is it...?>
Evan tried to understand the reason for this strange occurrence. In his past life, using this demon's power did not emit divine energy from his body. Otherwise, he would have died a long time ago. The divine and demonic energy would have torn his body to pieces, but now he could combine the two types of energies in his body.
<Hmm, is it possible that demon power works differently in this world? Or was it because I recently had two kinds of energy in my body at once? Because I somehow managed to combine them, now when I use the power of some demons, will divine energy being emitted from my body? This is all very confusing..> Evan thought.
Evan understood that this was most likely due to Lucifer's Shackles. Then because of the conflict of the two types of energies, he died, and it seems that now these changes began to affect the energy emitted by the demons.
<Lucifer...I urgently need to learn more about this name. Hopefully, Demonic Tree will have some information about him.>
...
The moment Evan harnessed the power of a demon, and a huge amount of demonic and divine energy came out of his body, it caught some people's attention.
Somewhere to the north, a few dozen kilometers from Vextin, in the depths of an abandoned castle.
”That energy...I felt that pulse again, and it's that energy...” Mumbled a tall man with glasses. He had blond hair and green eyes. He wore a long red robe with a picture of ebony on it.
He had just finished another experiment and suddenly felt a pulse of strange energy.
”Last time, this pulse was very far away and quite weak, but now it is different. I can feel the direction in which the energy was released. I need to see what happened there.”
He immediately headed toward the exit of the castle. The pulse happened quite a few kilometers away, so he decided to use his tame beast to get there quickly.
It was a large, icy wyvern. It was about twelve meters long and three meters tall. It looked elegant and majestic. Her wingspan was thirty meters. Her entire body was covered with many blue scales, glistening in the sunlight. Her blue eyes were deep and exuded an ancient aura. With a sharp crystal on end, the wyvern's long tail could cut through even the strongest metals and minerals without trouble. Each of its breaths emitted a small frost wave that could quickly turn water into ice.
The man approached the wyvern and quickly climbed on top of it. The beast rose quickly and flew like lightning into the distance. In the sky, it was like a blue flash heading toward its target.
At this speed, it would reach where the fire wave had passed in only ten minutes.
...
Somewhere in the west of ”The Kingdom of Fallen Hopes,” in a large palace built of white marble and gold.
