"How magical..." Kael thought, captivated by the intricate workings of the altar and its accompanying magic formation.

As the brilliance of the magic formation gradually faded, the formidable demon known as 'Seven' disappeared into thin air. In the wake of his departure, the demons that remained relatively unscathed and in prime condition descended upon their injured counterparts, plunging back into a frenzied melee.

"Seriously, don't these demons have anything better to do?" he grumbled, releasing a sigh tinged with exasperation.

"Well, can't say I have any objections," he said, a mischievous grin adorning his face.

Seizing the opportunity, he swiftly rose to his feet and soared through the sky, his eyes scanning the scene below. Before long, he locked his gaze onto the heart of the clearing, where the largest congregation of battling demons could be found.

The resonating flap of his wings filled the expanse of the black, gloomy sky, his arms crossed in contemplation. "Now, how should I go with this?" he mused, pondering whether the conventional path of conjuring a mana bomb would suffice.

However, he swiftly brushed aside the notion, contemplating his modest background in combat. Despite engaging in battles and managing to adapt over the course of the past month, he acknowledged that his accumulated battle experience was still insufficient.

He realized that this presented a perfect opportunity to refine his combat skills and thoroughly assess how his newly modified body would perform in a real fight.

This was also a perfect chance to amass soul for the things he needed before his departure. Upon checking his system, he currently has [104] souls left. With that he grinned and said—

"Now, shall we dance?~"

With a menacing grin, Kael's muscles tensed, and without a moment's hesitation, he plummeted earthward with terrifying velocity.

As Kael descended, its form became a blur, a streak of malevolence slicing through the air. In a breathtaking display of agility, it twisted its body mid-flight, angling its leg with precision.

*BOOM*

At the last possible instant, Kael's foot connected with bone-jarring force, an explosive impact reverberated through the clearing.

The unfortunate victims, caught off guard by his lightning-fast descent, was crushed into the ground with a resounding thud. Dust billowed, obscuring the battlefield momentarily.

As his wings flapped, the billowing dust settled, revealing the bewildered demons' first glimpse of the powerful entity that had descended upon them. Hovering menacingly at a towering height of 2.2 meters, the figure was none other than Kael himself..

Five radiant souls materialized in the air, their ethereal glow captivating the attention of both Kael and the demons. In a swift and practiced motion, Kael swiftly captured the luminous orbs, storing them in the system. The demons, initially poised to charge, hesitated as they witnessed this unforeseen turn of events.

Their astonishment deepened as the demons watched with wide eyes as the floating souls vanished into thin air upon contact with Kael's demonic form. Confusion swept over them as they questioned whether Kael had already consumed the souls.

Their bewilderment swiftly transformed into seething anger, fueled by the assumption that Kael had already devoured the precious souls. With an insatiable hunger for revenge, the demons abandoned all caution, their eyes ablaze with fury. They charged forth recklessly, heedless of the fact that Kael had effortlessly dispatched five of their kin moments ago.

Like a relentless tempest, the demons descended upon Kael from all directions, their malevolent presence suffocating the air. Their claws slashed through the atmosphere, seeking to tear into his flesh with savage intent. Their teeth gnashed and their eyes burned with a primal thirst for blood.

Despite him being surrounded, Kael managed to keep a cool head amidst the frenzied onslaught of demons. Suddenly, a surge of heightened perception washed over him, granting him a temporary glimpse into the chaotic battlefield.

Seizing the opportunity, Kael lunged and instinctively grabbed the head of a nearby demon, exerting his newfound strength and causing it to burst with a sickening pop. The released soul momentarily floated before his eyes, but he resisted the temptation to claim it, knowing that his focus was needed elsewhere.

Surrounded on all sides, Kael's reflexes kicked in as he moved with a mixture of instinct and desperation. His head, moving like Isagi using meta vision.

His tail whipped through the air, guided by a combination of luck and a newfound sense of spatial awareness. It found its mark, piercing the bodies of two demons, putting an end to their threat.

Driven by a surge of confidence, Kael continued his attack, extending his tail further to skewer another four demons with each tail. The sheer force behind his strikes surprised even himself, as each successful impalement added to his growing tally of defeated foes.

As he prepared to strike another demon, Kael's tail reached its limits, unable to stretch any further. Thinking quickly, he improvised by opening the tip of his tail, using it to grasp the head of the demon positioned behind the one he had last pierced, before clenching it, causing a sickening pop as the head crumbled.

Swiftly intercepting an incoming slash, Kael's reflexes kicked in as he deflected the attack in a nick of time. Seizing the opportune moment, he retaliated with a swift and calculated strike, his sharp claws slicing through the demon's neck with ruthless efficiency.

As two simultaneous front attacks closed in, Kael swiftly reacted, using both hands to block the oncoming strikes. With his lower limb free, he unleashed a sweeping kick, aiming for the bodies of his assailants. The sharp claws on his feet pierced into their flesh, embedding themselves deeply before cutting through the demons with brutal efficiency.

The result was a grisly spectacle, as the lower halves of the demons fell to the ground, severed and lifeless. Kael stood victorious, holding the upper bodies of his defeated foes, their weight supported by his formidable grip.

Discarding the severed halves of the demons, Kael observed as their souls floated away, a haunting reminder of their vanquished existence. However, his moment of respite was abruptly interrupted when an attack aimed for his torso caught him off guard. Redirecting his attention downward, he locked eyes with a diminutive demon, standing at a mere four feet tall, attempting to slash at his chest. Yet, the demon's feeble attempt fell short, unable to penetrate Kael's formidable defense.

*Whistle~*

"Hard as DuraSteel, indeed." he mused, acknowledging the strength and resilience of his own body. The attack had proven futile against his strong defenses, reinforcing his confidence in the protective qualities of his formidable physique.

With lightning speed, Kael unleashed a swift and powerful knee kick, connecting with the demon's chest. The force of the impact caused the demon's chest to cave in, sending it hurtling upward. However, before it could soar any higher, Kael suddenly had an epiphany, executing a spontaneous and impressive thought up move—an axe kick.

In a breathtaking display of agility, Kael's leg soared high above, tracing a graceful arc before descending upon the hapless demon with the unstoppable force of a falling axe. The impact was devastating as the sharp claw on Kael's heel made contact, slicing through the demon's body with ruthless precision. In a remarkable twist, instead of a gruesome splatter, it was the unforgiving ground that bore the brunt of the blow.

With an earth-shattering impact, the force behind Kael's strike carved a crater into the terrain, a testament to the sheer power and ferocity he possessed. The severed halves of the demon lay motionless, their fate sealed by the incomparable strength and precision of Kael's attack.

The battle continued, some demons managed to scratch Kael, though it quickly healed as no demon capable of wounding him badly was really present.

His wings also showcased Its [Transformation] mod when a flying demon lunged at him from behind, its claws reaching out, Kael's wings then underwent a remarkable transformation. The tips of his wings suddenly transformed and sharpened into a sharp metallic edge. With impeccable timing, as the demon drew near, Kael's wings sliced through the air, swiftly cleaving the malevolent entity into two distinct halves.

In the midst of the chaos, Kael's inexperience was apparent, as his movements carried a hint of uncertainty and occasional clumsiness. Yet, he refused to be overwhelmed by the odds stacked against him. Each success fueled his determination to learn and adapt, even as he relied on the fleeting moments of heightened perception to guide his actions. With each fallen demon, he grew more resolute, determined to prove himself amidst the swirling turmoil of the battlefield.
