Chapter 14 Demonic Might

Adrosiean was looking around the Crimson Cross's base with interest. The whole base seemed to operate like a town. He even saw some shops and vebdors selling things including human body parts like hearts.

The only thing different was that the people here seem to be more fanatical than usual. They were always murmuring and preying their demon masters with crazed tones.

Adrosiean looked behind. His eyes twitching with annoyance. Behind him was Rexhell's demonic cult members that been following him nonstop wherever he went. It was attracting a lot of attention.

At this moment, Adrosiean saw a group of cultists hurriedly rushing towards him. It was Rexhell and the higher ups of Crimson Cross. Rexhell stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"My lord, I brought the executives of the Crimson Cross as you commanded."

Adrosiean glanced at the group of cultists. Most of them were about the same level or more powerful than Rexhell before his demonic transformation.

"Allow me to have the honor. This is the demon lord of darkness and death, Adrosiean."

Rexhell proudly declared. After Rexhell's words, Adrosiean saw some doubts flashed on the faces of these Crimson Cross's members. He was quite puzzled.

Adrosiean thought of his previous experience of how Rexhell and his demonic cult members bowed down to him fanatically when he was first summoned.

Adrosiean had thought that these cultists would do the same when they see him. But now he only saw doubtful looks from these cultists. His brows slightly frowned.

"Oh. Right. I am in my human form. No wonder they look doubtful."

Adrosiean was currently in his human disguise. With the power of the mask of deception combined with the gem of eternal darkness, not even a tiny amount of demonic energy could be found on him.

Even the weaker demonic cultists possessed a small amount of demonic energy. Thus, Adrosiean did not even seem like a demon and look like a totally normal human in the eyes of the Crimson Cross's members.

With a grin, Adrosiean took off his mask and deactivated his skills. The invisible veil of darkness that covering his body faded as vast demonic aura burst out.

Adrosiean's body twisted and started to transform back. His physique became taller and more intimidating. His claws extended and a pair of dragonic wings grew out from his back.

With a thought, Adrosiean fused the aura of both the gem of eternal darkness and the crown of Aryumaya together with his own demon lord aura.

A terrifying demonic aura burst out from Adrosiean's body like a tsunami, instantly pressing down all living beings inside the base of Crimson Cross.

Birds fell down from tree branches, dogs and cats foaming profoundly and all the animals inside the Crimson Cross instantly died from the demonic pressure.

The humans were no exception. With just Adrosiean's aura alone, the Crimson Cross members started to vomit blood while some weaker members even passed out from the pressure.

Derroth and the high ranked cult members were not having a good time either. Their eyes were blood red and they felt like their insides were turning upside down.

They were the nearest to Adrosiean and this suffocating pressure was targeted at them to begin with.

All of them were horrified at Adrosiean's demonic might. Even as demonic cultists, they never felt this kind of extreme pressure before.

"This is the true might of a demon lord?"

"This is the power beyond humanity's reach!

"Too terrifying."

"I feel like I am at the presence of a demon god himself. We are no different from ants in front of such a being."

Many demon worshippers thought with horrified expressions. But these thoughts could not come out of their mouths. They were too terrified to even speak a word.

Even Rexhell was affected by the demonic aura. After all he was also near Adrosiean. Rexhell was shocked at Adrosiean's astounding strength.

When Adrosiean was first summoned to this world, Rexhell and the his cult members instantly begged to be his servants. Thus, Adrosiean had not purposely shown off his demonic aura like this.

"Kneel!"

Adrosiean's deep commanding voice sounded. It was filled with power and absolute authority.

All the members of the Crimson Cross got on the ground. They bowed low at Adrosiean while trembling in great fear. Their heads were lowered and already touching the ground.

"Please... please forgive us. We sincerely apologize for our insolent. Please have mercy."

The Crimson Cross's leader, Derroth begged for forgiveness while his body was trembling in fear. For the cult members, they could not even speak as if they were purified. Not even a single word could come out from their shivering lips.

Derroth was doubtful at Rexhell words of him successfully summoning a demon lord before. Logically speaking, Rexhell should never have succeeded in something even he, the most powerful cultist in Crimson Cross could not do.

It's not that Derroth did not trust Rexhell, he just could not admit it. If possible he did not want to believe it.

However he could clearly see now. He finally felt the true might of a demon lord. The overwhelming pressure from the aura alone surpassed everything he had ever seen.

"How insolent of me. Doubting a demon lord? Not even the dumbest fool had done something like this. I truly deserve to be killed."

Derroth shook his head and laughed dryly. It was no wonder that the demon lord was furious at them.

They were nothing but ants in the eyes of an existence with this kind of overwhelming power. Would you not step on the ant that bites you?

Adrosiean watched as the demon worshippers kowtowing before him and nodded with satisfaction.

"This seem more like before."

This situation finally resembled the scene when he was first summoned by Rexhell and his cult members.

Adrosiean secretly activated a few detection skills on the Crimson Cross membere. He sensed the cult members were suffering internal damage and mental damage from experiencing his demonic aura.

However different from black raven sorceress, these demon worshippers were actually blissful amidst their fear.

They were joyous to finally meet a demon lord in their life. The fear and awe towards Adrosiean were coexisting in their minds.

Adrosiean did not think this was strange. After many exchanges, he had already considered the demon worshippers as fanatical extremists who have mental issues.

He would not even surprise if these cult members decided to jump out of a cliff out of nowhere.

"But the damage seem a little too much to them."

Adrosiean pondered. Derroth and the cult members thought that Adrosiean was furious at their disrespect. But he was actually taking this chance to test the power of his aura.

After coming to this world, Adrosiean had been testing and experiencing his items and skills. After all in game experience and reality was different.

Although these cult members were somehow delighted, If they continued to expose to more of his demonic aura, they will most likely die.

These demon worshippers were still humans. Even now, the weaker cult members were on the verge of death from the intense pressure.

Adrosiean was using both of his mythical items to have extremely powerful aura. This pressure was far more stronger than normal demon lord aura.

"I guess this should be enough experiment for now. As expected, normal humans cannot endure the pressure of two mythical items."

Adrosiean nodded and retracted back his aura. The intense pressure was instantly lifted. Although the terrifying pressure was gone, the cult members were still on the ground, not daring to look up.

"You may rise."

Adrodiean's authoritative voice sounded. The Crimsom Cross members raised their heads after getting Adrosiean's permission.

However they were still kneeling respectfully. There was no doubts nor disbeliefs in their eyes anymore.

The only thing that did not change was their frantical looks and crazed eyes. This might be the thing that every demon worshippers have in common.

"We pledge ourselves to your will. Please allow us to serve you. The Crimsom Cross is yours to command. Lead us to salvation great lord."

Derroth pledged. The other cult members also bowed low. Adrosiean nodded and extended his hand.

"Then I shall grant you my blessing."

A large amount of demonic energy spread out from Adrosiean's body like a tide and engulfed all of the demon worshippers.

Screams of pain and cracking sounds of bones could be heard from the twistings bodies of the cult members.

Rexhell and his branch members were already transformed from before. Thus, they simply watched the transformation of the others silently by the side.

After a sometimes, the transformation of the Crimson Cross's members finished. Their appearances became more devilish and brute. Just like before, they had been transformed into demonic humans.

Derroth stood at the front. His appearance was different from the other cult members. Instead of a demonic human, he had been completely turned into a true demon. He looked extremely menacing.

Derroth had grown taller while his muscles enlarged. His previous clothes did not fit anymore and was now completely torn. Three demonic horns grew on his head. However he did not have any wings.
