Chapter 7

"We're about to leave the Spirit World and enter the Netherworld. Are you sure you don't want to give it a try? Once we're in the Netherworld, there won't be such an opportunity."

"I really want to, but I'm worried I won't last until the end..."

"Men, just go for it."

"That's easy for you to say, you're not the one in charge."

"Don't worry, I'll cooperate and won't look down on you."

"You were just thinking about your own pleasure last time..."

"This time, I promise it won't happen again."

"Alright, this is the last time."

"Then let's go for this one."

Kotatsu pointed to a nearby mindless wandering Nether Demon. (Those who are thinking dirty, go stand in the corner~~)

The Spirit World is shaped like an 8, and the closest point is where the two loops intersect, which is also the safest route.

After defeating the Nether Prison Spider and moving forward, they encountered many demons on the way, but none were particularly troublesome. Most were low-level demons like Nether Demons and Hell Hounds. After a few hours, they were about to leave the Spirit World and enter the Netherworld. Suddenly, Kotatsu had a whimsical idea and asked Wu Feng to try defeating a few Nether Demons on his own.

Although Nether Demons are stronger than ordinary people, their strength is limited. Their physical abilities are on par with well-trained athletes, but their mental capabilities are far inferior, making them slow and stiff. A calm person could handle them one-on-one.

A normal person, when calm, can only handle one Nether Demon, but is Wu Feng a normal person? Clearly not. He has been the protagonist in many worlds, receiving the combined gifts of various world wills [World Achievement System], and is accompanied by a very cute little girl. He has also had close encounters with many anime characters (like Lumia, definitely close encounters~~), making him a true pervert. If this were a novel, he would definitely be the main character.

So... a mere Nether Demon... really can't be defeated... Wu Feng was decisively chased around by the weakest of a group of seemingly weak Nether Demons...

Kotatsu, who was supposed to support him from the side, burst out laughing. If she hadn't finally reacted and killed the Nether Demon with her scythe, our protagonist would have been sent back through time again.

"Don't worry, this time I'll watch very seriously, and it won't be like last time," Kotatsu said to Wu Feng, in a very "serious" tone.

"Serious"? What's with that split lip, and that voice, it sounds like you're about to laugh! Kotatsu, where's your dignity? Do you really want to see me fail?!

"Actually, you can try using the power of death," Kotatsu said, perhaps feeling she had teased him enough, and became a bit more serious.

"Power of death?"

"Right, do you remember our goal this time?"

"The White Jade Tower in the Netherworld?"

"Exactly. The mistress of the White Jade Tower, the manager of the Netherworld's spirits, is famous for her abilities to control spirits, induce death, and manipulate the power of death. A Nether Prison Spider would be defeated in one move by her."

(Originally, I thought Yuyuko's ability to control death was just inducing death, but after researching, I found that inducing death is a separate ability. Controlling death means being able to kill living things without any resistance. This is hard to understand and not conducive to later descriptions, so I changed it to manipulating the power of death to kill living beings.)

Huh? I have such a powerful ability? How come I didn't know...

Seeing Wu Feng's puzzled look, Kotatsu covered her face and sighed.

"You really don't know how lucky you are. Feel the energy inside you, try to focus it in your hands, and then release it."

Wu Feng closed his eyes and felt a dark, deadly force within his body. With a thought, the force quickly moved to his hands, and a purple light shone.

Unlike the cold, dark feeling inside, the released power of death was filled with a noble, warm aura. The purple light was both magnificent and dignified, enticing one to fall into it.

The purple light grew brighter, gradually forming a sphere as it condensed.

The moment the purple sphere appeared, a group of nearby Nether Demons took a step back. These emotionless, fearless Nether Demons, who would never retreat even in the face of a high-level Nether Prison Spider, subconsciously moved back, as if facing a natural enemy, filled with fear.

Only the weakest Nether Demon, brought by Kotatsu, remained.

"That's it, now aim and fire at the target. I didn't expect you to have so much power of death in your body; it doesn't look like you just awakened it," Kotatsu said, a bit puzzled. A person who just awakened the power of death should only have enough for one attack, but the amount gathered was about ten times that.

Wu Feng stared at the Nether Demon, raised his hands, and two fist-sized purple spheres flew toward the wandering Nether Demon. The one on the left drew a beautiful arc, leaving a faint purple trail, like a meteor... It calmly grazed the Nether Demon's right shoulder as it trembled. The other one precisely grazed the left shoulder.

...

A cold Nether wind blew, and Kotatsu, whose facial muscles were twitching, finally burst out laughing.

"Ah, hahaha"

Wu Feng blushed, then became angry, took a few quick steps forward, and a noble purple light reappeared in his left hand. He fired another purple sphere at close range, hitting the target. The Nether Demon screamed and dissipated into dark energy.

"For the creatures of the Spirit World, pure death power is their greatest nemesis. But you... at a distance of less than five meters," Kotatsu wiped away tears from laughing and explained weakly.

"Such a close distance and you still missed. Are you even a man...?"

"First time, the chance of hitting the mark is pretty low..."

Despite laughing, Kotatsu still praised Wu Feng's talent. For someone who just awakened the power of death, firing one projectile was already extremely difficult, let alone three. The hardest part of the power of death is the beginning, which can take a very long time, even a hundred years. The extremely rare power of death is hard to convert other energies into, but Wu Feng had directly overcome the hardest part.

"Next, you just need to use the death power in your body to attract nearby energy and convert it into death power to increase its quality and quantity. The closer the attributes, the faster the conversion. Opposing attributes cannot be converted."

After a slight pause, Kotatsu added with a hint of excitement,

"There is a way to improve quickly. The power of death can be rapidly increased by killing."

I don't know how this book compares to other new authors, but it's definitely not as good as those on the charts with thousands of clicks a day. However, compared to my previous book, it's a significant improvement. It took my previous book about half a month to get 23 favorites. I'm very satisfied. Your encouragement is my greatest motivation. Please recommend, favorite, and click!)
