Seven Sins System Chapter 215. Parasite?
My eyes were fixed on their bodies. The wounds that were inflicted on them by my wrath tentacles were slowly closing up. The bleeding had stopped, and it looked like makeshift plaster had been applied to their wounds. But it wasn't any ordinary plaster; it was their demonic power that was working its magic.
"Hmm… this is interesting…" I muttered.
Gem let out an ear-splitting growl and lunged forward, his claws outstretched. In a split second, he smashed his arm into the wall of the bathroom, his razor-sharp claws slicing through the tiles like butter. The force of his impact was so great that the entire wall crumbled and chunks of rock and plaster rained down on the ground, creating a deafening noise.
The other demons followed suit, joining Gem in his rage-fueled attack on the bathroom. With a synchronized movement, they all plunged their claws into the wall and tore it apart, sending debris flying in every direction. The sound of shattering tiles and splintering wood filled the air, punctuated by the occasional grunt or growl from the enraged demons.
Rachel let out a small terrified yelp. Her heart raced, and she felt a lump form in her throat. She couldn't believe what was happening in front of her, and the fear that had been building up inside her was now threatening to spill out. The demons turned to her, their eyes locked on her trembling figure.
Gem's wicked grin spread across his face, a sinister delight emanating from his every pore. With a cold and calculated voice, he barked out a command to his subordinates, "Catch her. She is the summoner." His red eyes flickered with a dangerous glint as he watched his subordinates move into position, a cruel smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.
One of the menacing figures approached the terrified young woman. Rachel's eyes widened in fear, and she screamed in terror, a shrill sound that pierced the night like a dagger.
I simply flicked my finger and used my barrier on her.
A transparent barrier formed around Rachel. It was like a glass dome that protected her from any harm. The demon man lunged at her, but his body bounced off the barrier as if it was made of steel. Rachel's scream was muffled by the barrier, but I could still see the terror in her eyes.
"Shut up, mortal! You give me a headache!" I roared at her in annoyance. I wasn't Dr. Allen now, so I would put my nice devilish act in accordance with what I wanted.
It was enough to silence her and turn their attention to me.
They let out a primal scream and lunged at me, their claws gleaming in the dim light of the warehouse. I could see the hunger in their eyes, the desire to tear me apart, to prove their superiority over me, a lowly demon.
I was not intimidated. Instead, I stood my ground, my eyes fixed on their movements, my tentacles ready to strike at any moment. As they approached, I could feel their energy, their strength, their demonic power coursing through their veins.
Without hesitation, I let my tentacles move swiftly, striking at their bodies, and trying to pierce their flesh. But they were quick. Their claws brushed my tentacles.
I simply folded my arms in front of my chest and observed the demons' movements, I couldn't help but wonder about the source of their newfound power. I had encountered various forms of demonic energy before, but this was different. Their movements were faster and more precise, and their strength was overwhelming. The crystals seemed to be the source of their power, but what were they exactly? Did it change them completely or did it work like doping that would give them temporary power?
As I watched the demons fight with my tentacles, I noticed how the black veins on their bodies started to grow and expand, like an intricate network of dark roots spreading across their skin. It was a grotesque sight, like a parasite slowly eating away at its host's body. The veins pulsed with otherworldly energy, one that seemed to fuel the demons' powers.
Their movements became even more frenzied and wild as if the demonic energy was consuming them from within. It was fascinating to witness, like watching a creature transform into something else entirely.
I also couldn't help but notice the change in their energy. It was like they were letting the demonic energy eat away at their ordinary energy, and in turn, change it. It was a dangerous gamble, for if they let the demonic energy consume them completely, there might be no coming back. I knew it was the same method we, the devils, used to turn mortals into our servants, to imbue them with our own demonic energy and make them our own. But this... this was different. This was something else entirely.
The crystals were a clear manifestation of the demonic energy, condensed and transformed into a tangible form. But where did they come from? Who had crafted them? The thought troubled me deeply. If they were the work of a devil, then surely, I would have sensed their presence. But there was nothing. I couldn't sense any of it.
Then something hit me as I watched them.
"Did those demonic energies come from ordinary demons?" I analyzed, my voice barely above a whisper. The frown on my forehead deepened as I struggled to make sense of what I was seeing.
Since demons were mortals' enemies, they were usually either afraid of us or treated as enemies once they were confronted by demons. Except for the devils, of course. They were a different breed altogether. With their powers of persuasion and their ability to grant wishes, they were a force to be reckoned with.
But these creatures were different. They seemed to be drawing power from something else, something beyond their usual realm of influence. It was as if they were tapping into a source of energy that was beyond their comprehension. I knew they were mere foot soldiers, pawns in a larger game that I had yet to understand.
