The second demon lord

"What happened here?" In a certain place, a blonde woman, with bug-like wings and long ears inspects a hole.

The woman in question is the queen of spirits and one of the mediators of the world, Ramiris.

What she's currently gazing down upon is a large hole. Around 100 meters in diameter and as deep as the eye can see. It's so deep, that a religious person would think the hole goes straight down to hell...

"Ahhh~... This place is so comfortable." A squeaky voice suddenly speaks up from behind Ramiris. Turning to look, she discovers the source of the voice to be a greater elemntal of darkness.

The elemental flies past her and dives straight in the hole.

"Wait!" Ramiris hurriedly calls to it, but she's too late. The elemental is already inside.

A crease of worry appeares on Ramiris'a brow. She can understand why dark elementals would absolutely love this spot, since the aura of darkness the hole has is immense. However Ramiris can also sense something else permeating the air. An aura of pure evil, equal in intensity to the dark.

As if to cement Ramiris's worry, she suddenly hears high pitched, squeaky laughter from the hole.

"Kyahahahaha."

The source of it is the same elemental who dived in prior. Yet when Ramiris catches a glimpse of the elemental of darkness once more, she is shocked by it's change.

The elemental who once had long, lustrous, black hair. As dark as space itself, now has whiteish gray hair. It's eyes have also changed into a pale golden tone and on it's body, many lines of corruption wiggle around.

The once pure elemental has now become corrupted.

"This is bad." Ramiris utters. As she watches the corrupt elemental, many more elementals of darkness are gathering around the hole. Eager to dive in and revel in the abyssal darkness.

"Get away!" She yells out and creates a barrier around the hole. Barring entry for anyone else.

She quickly extracts to corrupted elemental as well. The thing tries to fight her, as she does. It fights against Ramiris crazily, as if it has lost it's mind, but Ramiris easily overpowers it.

"I need to seal this place." She mumbles and proceeds to do so.

After a while, she manages to completely seal up the suspicious hole. Even casting an illusion spell to keep everyone away.

Not yet done investigating this phenomenon, she follows the faint trail of darkness. Leading her a long distance away from the hole, into a city

Once Ramiris reaches it, she again feels a deep darkness permeating this place. The city itself is reduced to rubble. With blood, corpses, destruction and fires everywhere around.

The frown on her flawless face just gets deeper and deeper, the more she sees.

"I should notify Ghee about this..." She says and flies away

....

....

....

I awaken in the middle of lush grasslands, next to single tree that stands tall. It's been who knows how long after I went to sleep.

Gazing down at myself, I notice that I'm still in my human form.

Since I'm still naked, I see the difference in my human form immediately. I seem to have lost a bit of musculature and become slender, yet slightly more curvier. It's strange how I keep getting slimmer with each evolution. Ironically my breasts have grown a cup size bigger again...

Aside from my breasts though, the biggest change that I experienced was transforming into a completely spiritual being. I no longer have a body. Now I'm rather best described as a mass of concious energy...

Moving on I can feel a change in my power. I've grown much stronger than in any precious evolutions.

I conjure a mirror in front of me and inspect my appearance.

The woman who looks back at me is insanely beautiful, with refined and sharp facial features.

My pale blonde hair remains the same, almost white in colour. My pale gold eyes have also remained. With the same reptilian slit pupils. Though my skin tone has become whiter. Almost as if I'm dead.

I have become taller once again, standing at 184 cm, but now I have a slender figure, with G cup breasts, a wide ass, long legs and thick thighs. My horns have also changed into a more angular figure. Now I have three pairs of obsidian coloured, short and sharp horns poking out from the top of my forehead. My tail has also become a bit longer, and has a spear-like tip.

I destroy the mirror and start inspecting my status.

----------------

*A/N- Veldora get fucked. I took the name of his skill, which btw is Nyarlathotep. He isn't even born yet, so it's all good. Also the effects are completely different/- END**

There is a lot to unpack. My race has changed into a true dragon. Just out of curiosity, I ditch my clothes and tranform into my dragon form.

When I do, I discover that my size is truly massive, at 300 meters long. I look like a massive, black western dragon, with some purple patterns.

Once I'm done, I transform back. Then take a look at my skills.

The first is the extra skill Dragon spirit haki, which is basically just a super evolved version of haki. Once I activate it, it starts corroding everything aound me.

I move on to the two new unique skills.

Titans constitution gives me a ridiculous boost to physical strength and toughness in everything. Body, claws, teeth, muscles, scales and so on. It also has a peculiar effect in that the bigger I am and the more I weigh, the bigger the boost I recieve. So naturally if I'm in human form, the boost is small, compared to when I'm in dragon form. I can also abuse the shit out of this skill by making myself weigh more, with weight manipulation.

Moving on, Immortality is another broken skill. This erases my lifespan and makes it so that essentially unless my core gets destroyed, I can regenerate my soul from nothing. It also has unlimited regeneration as a subskill.

Then there is the three ultimate skills.

[Nidhogg: The dragon who gnaws at the root]

----------------------

Where to even begin. I have too many skills now. Though with these skills, I feel like I can somewhat compete in this world. At the very least it will be hard for anyone to just erase me with one move.

I hum in thought, as I once again cover my body in darkness, since I'm naked.

I instantly notice the qualitative change in my darkness. The murderous impulse is far quieter now. It's much easier to control. However the intensity of evil and malice is multiple times more severe.

I manifest wings on my back and fly away. I must test out my new skills. But first I will create a base.

Since I want to practise in peace, I fly to a different continent alltogether. Once I arrive there, I start looking for a place to set up.

I eventually stumble upon a mountain range and an idea comes to me. Heeding its advice, I land on the side of the mountain and drill a hole. Then I start burrowing into it, making rooms inside the mountain itself.

I take care in making everything also visually pleasant, so it takes a bit of time. A day passes, as I work.

Suddenly I come to a pause. I feel multiple powerful auras fly towards me at incredible speeds.

I instantly exit my cave system and gaze at the sky.

Within a few seconds these beings arrive and look down at me. The mere notion of anyone looking down at me irks me, so I jump up to the sky as well. Hovering slightly above them.

The new arrivals are 2 women and a man.

This man... I feel like I've seen him before. His ridiculous, puffy red hair looks familiar...
