Chapter 7

Silent casting. Instant spell.

【Bloodline Spell: Pain Strike (a curse spell that cannot be detected by ordinary vision; after this spell hits the target, the next attack that causes injury will result in extreme pain)] + [Bloodline Spell: Soul Impact (concentrating one's soul power to form an invisible soul attack that directly strikes the target's soul)] = Two-hit combo.

Knowing that the opponent was still very much alive and had not yet died, Olsaga did not give the opponent any chance to turn the tide. He directly rushed to the opponent's front and delivered a full-force kick to his skull, delivering the final blow!

Using a certain level of strength and technique, he kicked the brain inside the skull into a pulp.

If it were not to preserve the opponent's corpse and soul, Olsaga would not even have approached. He could have simply thrown a few fireballs while the opponent was severely injured, which would have solved all the problems.

However, fireball spells cannot be cast casually, as resources should not be wasted easily.

Although the opponent was still lively and had thrown a spear at him, which was somewhat offensive,

since the opponent had now become his nourishment, Olsaga decided to forgive him magnanimously. He would extract the essence of the blood and flesh, leaving a complete corpse if possible.

As for who would pick up the remaining mummy, it was no longer his concern.

A quarter of his magic power and a bit of negligible physical strength—this was what Olsaga had paid. Strictly speaking, there was no absolute power gap between them; their strength, speed, and physical condition should be about the same.

Even from the destructive power of the spear he threw, the opponent's strength was slightly higher.

Olsaga did not think he could remain calm if he were hit by the spear.

Among the enemies Olsaga had encountered, this one was probably the strongest. Both had the ability to kill each other, and the outcome of their confrontation largely depended on decisiveness.

He thought he would take the initiative and use his mobility to kite Olsaga, just as he had hunted those beast-like demons before.

However, he did not expect that at this stage, when most of the "Little Demons" were still relying on close combat, Olsaga had already become a spell machine gun.

His old habits made him subconsciously treat Olsaga as a beast, and he paid the price of his life for this expensive lesson.

If he had not underestimated Olsaga, Olsaga would have had to suffer some injuries to kill him, and it would not have been so clean and neat. From his ability to perform the "Conversion Ritual," it was evident that he had decent spellcasting abilities, but now all of that was meaningless, with no chance to be utilized.

Grasping the opponent's soul, his tail ignored the surface defenses and pierced directly into the opponent's chest, extracting large amounts of accumulated power. In less than a minute, the opponent's body turned into a mummy, and the "Conversion Ritual" on his body also withered.

【+1277 Evolution Points】 which means he was worth over two thousand.

Olsaga was very pleased. Most of the "Lower Demons" were probably no better, and some were even worse.

Thanks for the big gift, bro.

---

Several days later in the Abyss.

Under the towering demonized trees, a hint of seriousness flashed across Olsaga's face as he casually discarded the remains in his hand.

He closed his eyes and listened quietly to the surroundings.

His elf-like, slightly pointed ears, which had some scales, twitched, as if sensing something.

After a while, he opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

A sound was coming from there!

Olsaga crossed his arms, and his tail swung forcefully, piercing into the demonized tree beside him. Using this as a base, he used his tail to propel himself upward, throwing his entire body toward the top of the tree.

Whenever his upward speed was about to decrease, his tail would repeat the previous action, continuously providing acceleration!

After about ten seconds, he stood on a branch at the top of the tree, gazing into the distant sky.

A large group of flying monsters had gathered there, their various screeches and roars creating a chaotic scene. Their massive bodies and astonishing numbers swirled like locusts, covering that part of the sky.

Occasionally, limbs and body parts would fall from the sky, showering the ground below with blood.

The monsters on the ground, smelling the fresh blood in the air, instantly erupted into a frenzy, and fierce battles began.

Blood rained from the sky, and crimson rivers flowed on the ground. Each monster was releasing its inner savagery to the fullest. This was a grand event that occurred periodically, where blood and death were their best delicacies and wine!

Olsaga's originally blood-red eyes became even more crimson at this sight.

The demonic instinct urged Olsaga to participate, to fight, to twist off their heads, and turn them into his trophies!

However, he did not rush in, as the inherited memory of the demons reminded him that soon, the sky would bestow the gifts of the bottomless abyss, which would be the highlight of this grand event.

【Soul Gift】

Soul crystals that descend from the sky, composed of highly concentrated soul power. Just one can allow a "Little Demon" to advance to a "Lower Demon." This is the reward the bottomless abyss gives to demons in places like the "Wailing Forest," "Dead Soul Abyss," "Dark Caves," and other demonic newbie zones.

It is like the blood food thrown to a pack of wolves, but far more brutal and insane.

After the 【Soul Gift】 is absorbed into the body, it cannot be absorbed immediately. It must be slowly eroded by magic power to break its shell. During this period, the 【Soul Gift】 continuously releases an attraction, signaling to other demons.

Other demons are eager to eviscerate the owner of the 【Soul Gift】.

This is the purest form of raising demons, where only the best survive, and the rest are renewable resources.

So, at fixed intervals, when they are bestowed, the demons in these areas go into a frenzy, fighting without compromise or discussion. Countless demons battle in a sea of corpses and blood, and only the ultimate victor can obtain the 【Soul Gift】.

Now, this grand entertainment event had not yet begun. According to Olsaga's feeling, there were still several minutes of preparation time before the 【Soul Gift】 truly descended and everything began.

The current fighting and chaos were just a small prelude, a spontaneous early entertainment due to the monsters' innate savagery. Many more monsters had yet to arrive...

The fighting continued, and the various demonized plants on the ground were stained red with blood. Crimson streams flowed on the ground.

The moisture in the air was covered by blood.

This was both a carnival for demons and demonized creatures and a feast for demonized plants.

Countless bloodthirsty flies swarmed in the sky, on the trees, and on the ground, licking the blood that had fallen.

Creatures were dying and arriving continuously. Those who usually hid and dodged like hunters were now fighting like madmen, no longer needing to consider ambushes. They just needed to kill everything in sight.

It was simple and direct, like the times by the banks of the River Styx.

At some point, a thick fog had enveloped everything, and the intense bloodiness had dyed it red.

The blood-colored fog condensed and dripped continuously from Olsaga's body.

He ignored these trivial matters and kept his eyes fixed on the distant sky, where the clouds had formed a vortex. The scent of the 【Soul Gift】 was slowly spreading, exciting the surrounding predators even more.

In a forest spanning hundreds of kilometers, millions of monsters gathered, and their roars echoed continuously.

Monsters and demonized creatures from farther away did not come here because there were other 【Soul Gift】 descent points.

In Olsaga's eyes, the power within the vortex had reached its peak, and the contents were about to descend. His body involuntarily began to stir, and other beings capable of sensing this became even more excited!

Many "Lower Demons" who were originally waiting quietly for the 【Soul Gift】 to descend, but with weaker self-control, directly joined the ongoing battle.

Those demons who had gone mad with killing probably forgot about the 【Soul Gift】 and were immersed in the slaughter. After all, demons are such beings; whether they gain anything is secondary; being able to kill to their heart's content is a gain.

Rumble...

Accompanied by strong winds, thousands of purple crystals with flames flew out from the vortex in the clouds. The countless flying demonized creatures and demons immediately rushed out to try to seize them.

But how could the ground-bound monsters let them have all the fun?

Tens of thousands of ranged attacks shot into the sky, including fire, lightning, ice, and poison, splattering everywhere. A series of flying creatures, like birds shot down, fell to the ground and were torn apart.

In this situation, with the flying creatures also fighting each other in a chaotic battle, even though they had the advantage of being closer, only a small portion of the 【Soul Gifts】 were obtained by them. Most of the 【Soul Gifts】 ultimately fell to the ground, to be fought over by the ground-bound monsters.

Standing on the treetop, watching the millions of monsters in the distance and the intensifying battle, Olsaga still did not choose to rush in. This level of chaos was too chaotic, and it was easy to lose direction once inside.

He still needed to wait until more of them died or were severely injured before he could intervene...
