Chapter 268 - How Strong Is The Ordinary Human? (1/2)
”Evan, when are you going to join the Demonic Tree?” Rave said calmly.
”As I said before, I want to do one experiment first. After that, I will go straight to where I was told. As I understand it, there will be a formal joining ceremony.” Evan quickly replied.
”I see. Then I must make one more condition for you, don't get me wrong, I'm doing this for security purposes. You may be a valuable ally, but you may also be a dangerous enemy, so if you don't join us in a year, I will personally kill you.” Rave said coldly.
He wasn't going to force Evan to join their organization right now, but he couldn't let Evan procrastinate on this event.
”Okay, I agree,” Evan replied.
He was going to join Demonic Tree anyway. Moreover, he was grateful that Rave had told him so much about the Seven Princes of Hell. Otherwise, Evan would have had to wait until he reached the stage - Two-Pointed Star. Also, Evan thought that one year would be enough time for him to do his experiment and get some results, so he decided to agree to such terms.
”Fine, then follow me, it has to do with my request, after that, I will return you to that village. For now, you are not allowed to be here.” Calmly Rave said and left the room.
Evan followed him.
...
Rave led Evan to one room in his vast laboratory. Unlike the abandoned castle, which seemed like it could collapse with a mere whiff of wind, this room was furnished to a high standard.
On the tables were a multitude of expensive instruments. On the shelves were neatly arranged various potions, rare plants, and strange scrolls of spells. Evan also noticed many unknown monster specimens. This one room contained a huge amount of rare items. But, it was only a hallway, the most interesting thing was behind the door in this room.
Click.
Rave opened the door, and Evan saw an incredible scene. They entered a hallway that led to the next room, but you could see what was going on there through the expansive glass.
Lots of people were sitting in small chambers getting blood transfusions. There was nothing unusual about this, but if you looked a little more closely, you could see the corpses of monsters in the corner of the room.
”Evan, monsters get stronger by devouring people, especially mages. But what would happen if ordinary people ate the flesh and drank the blood of powerful monsters? This idea occurred to me recently, and I decided to make it a reality.” Calmly Rave said.
Evan used Mammon's Gaze, and looking at the remains of the monsters, he was surprised. Most of these monsters were rank two, but some were rank three. Moreover, Rave was also feeding these people the flesh of the monsters, he was trying to change the structure of their bodies.
”Any luck?” Evan asked.
”See for yourself,” Rave said calmly.
The next moment, two magical circles appeared in the center of the room, from which skeletons in scarlet armor emerged. One of them headed toward the left side of the room and the other toward one of the chambers.
The skeleton brought out a tall man with black hair and a strong build. He looked very strong, even though he was a simple man.
Evan immediately used Mammon's Gaze.
