Devil Slave (Satan system)

Chapter 621  Continous Breakthrough in Power

Thus commenced Lenny's relentless consumption of the Primordial Beast's core, a voracious act driven by the urgency of time and the overwhelming desire to harness its power. He devoured it with an intensity that exceeded his body's capacity to assimilate, causing harm to himself in the process. Yet, undeterred by the repercussions, he continued this relentless absorption, screaming defiantly, "This is my power!"

As Lenny continued his unyielding absorption, the creatures of the nether drew near, their grotesque forms emerging from the shadowy depths. A hydra-like beast, adorned with an excessive number of snake heads, lunged at him, aiming to engulf him in its gaping maws. Lenny, fueled by the energy he absorbed, retaliated with a forceful strike. However, to his dismay, the creature proved remarkably resilient, the darkness of the nether intertwining with its form and facilitating a swift regeneration. Undeterred, Lenny pressed on with his absorption, his determination undiminished by the tenacious resilience of his otherworldly adversaries.

And then lenny heard the first alert.

<Congratulations host, Magic requirements for promotion reached>

<Congratulations host on your breakthrough to the Deep Demon Rank 6>

However, it was still not enough for him. After all, he could still see as the Satan system measured how long that the Primordial beast's core was going to last.

And Lenny did not want to admit it, but the nether was taking just as much as he was absorbing. Slowly, the core reduced in size. Its power and form all devoured by Lenny and he did it regorossly. Still, it was not enough. And Lenny was starting to get really frustrated. After all, climbing from one rank to another was not easy at all. the difference between higher ranks and lower ranks was a lot. The difference between rank 5 of the Deep demon rank and rank 6 of the Deep demon rank was clear as day and night. Or rather a more easier understandable difference for it would be the earth and the sky. It would literally take twice the energy accumulated from the first rank of the Lesser demon rank to the fifth rank of the Deep demon rank to climb to the sixth. The trouble to climb to the great Demon rank was even worse. it was not just a climb in energy and magic that was required. After all, each realm had its perks and understanding of that realm. the Great Demon realm was also the same. Just having enough magic was definitely not enough, and Lenny was very aware of this. but he could careless about such restrictions right now.

He was going to forcefully break through it. His magic energy climbed once more to the top. As it did, he got a series of alerts from the system. Many of his abilities were changing once more. Some of them merged with one another to produce something new and far greater than before. While some others became stronger and tougher. essentially speaking, Lenny was becoming a new man. Every cell of his body took in energy that the primordial core could offer very greedily, filling them all to the brim.

At this point in time, the Core was no longer the source of light in the Nether. rather, it was Lenny's body. he glowed literally like a distant star, and the horrors of the nether drawn to it like the three wise men made their advance for him just as quick.

In a moment of fiery brilliance, Lenny confronted the encroaching hydra once more. As the beast lunged towards him, he pivoted with a speed that defied its multi-headed assault.

 With a swift motion, he conjured a white fireball, a more concentrated sphere of searing power that exploded upon impact. T

he hydra writhed and convulsed as its snake heads were engulfed in the inferno, hissing and screeching in agony. The acrid scent of burning flesh filled the air, and the hydra disintegrated into charred remnants.

Not content with a single triumph, Lenny whirled around, his entire form now a beacon of unleashed power. A torrent of white fire erupted from him, cascading in all directions like a radiant storm. The nearby nether creatures, drawn by the allure of his energy, found themselves enveloped in the searing embrace of the flames. Their grotesque forms wriggled and contorted in the white-hot onslaught, resembling vampires meeting their demise under the unforgiving rays of the sun. The shadows recoiled from the blinding radiance, and for a moment, the nether was transformed into a canvas of ethereal destruction as the flames consumed everything in their path.

Once more, his magic that had climbed soon became small again. By now, the core that had become the size of a snooker ball. however, lenny knew that he was losing too much. He was still at the peak of the deep Demon rank. What he needed right now was another break thorough. However, the mysteries of the Great demon realm were very foreign to him, and all he had was enough energy for the process, but no knowledge of the realm. lenny had now been put between a rock and a hard place. He could not absorb further unless he was using it to battle which was essentially wasting rich magic essence that he could use to advance in his power and the nether was not going to let him think or rest. The darkness also took its share from the core in his embrace. Lenny hated to admit it, but right now, he did not exactly know what to do. He thought about opening a book from the Satan system so that he could read about the Great demon rank and understand the realm better, but he could not do this. The reason was because the nether would not pause for him to absorb knowledge. In lenny's current situation, Ignorance was not bliss. Still, he would not give up, and forcing more of the core's power into his body started to make him bleed from his nose, mouth, eyes and ears. lenny gritted his teeth hard. It seemed as if all was against him. however at this moment, the sweetest alert popped up in his head. <Congratulations host has...>

(Author's note: I can't believe i am saying this, but I saw a review this morning that almost made me drop this book. So I'm just going to say this. If you read at least 300 chapters of this book, then you know that it has a storyline that is rich and the book obviously has a destination. Please, do not ruin it for others. I'm happy I have faithful readers)
