Chapter 170: Wolfen Demon’s last battle

“What do you want to confirm?” Stella asked.

She wasn’t fond of the Wolfen Demon as he was the existence who forced her to use the Ultimate Skill. Because of that, Stella didn’t even want to deal with the Wolfen Demon, letting others take care of him if need be.

Alex nodded, “There’s a reason Wolfen Demon took the hungry demon’s energy for himself, becoming one of them. There’s another reason for him to be here.

And I feel like I know what it is,” Alex said seriously.

He knew that Werewolves had run away from their lands because of their loss against the vampires. They didn’t want to become slaves to their enemies. At the same time, Wolfen Demon had the royal bloodline.

Therefore, Alex inferred that the werewolves ran away to his place. It was land owned by the soul grave-keeper, the Darkmana Empire’s enemy. If they worked under him, they would be able to fight back against the vampires.

And if not, then they still would have a pretty secure land to resurrect their bloodline.

“For whatever reasons, Wolfen Demon is alone. If he’s the last werewolf, then he has a huge responsibility on his hands. It’s not surprising that he wants to be immortal,” Alex said.

“But why are you interested in him?” Stella asked, “Do you want to turn him into a servant, like that Skeleton?”

Alex stopped, looking ahead of himself with various thoughts, “We don’t have to be enemies with him.”

Wolfen Demon had been quite an enigmatic fellow. However, unlike other hungry demons around the Deathwill Castle, everyone was the closest to him. They had exchanged battles, killed him numerous times… and then Alex saw Wolfen Demon’s weak side.

On that side, Alex saw loneliness. He saw how tired Wolfen Demon was from the years of working under the soul grave-keeper.

They were still enemies, so Alex put a blind eye to that.

His circumstances were much different now.

“Believe in me, Stella,” Alex clenched Stella’s soft hand, conveying his feelings to her.

She looked at him with a faint smile, “I’ve believed in you from the beginning.”

“Thanks,” Alex broadly smiled.

“He’s gone?” Alex whispered beneath his nose, looking around the dark cave.

It was Wolfen Demon’s den. He rarely left that place; cultivating his demonic powers had always been his goal. He was so diligent in increasing his strength that he came out only if necessary!

But now, he was gone.

Alex and Stella looked around, thinking that perhaps Wolfen Demon had given his presence from them.

But as they scoured the whole place, the couple realized that their target had been gone for some time now.

Alex found nothing in the cave as well. It was empty as if Wolfen Demon had packed his stuff and left for an adventure.

Stella whispered, “Maybe we should look out for other hungry demons?”

Alex agreed with her as he had no other plans. It wasn’t like the matter of Wolfen Demon was important too. He didn’t have to stress over that, so he took Stella’s hand, leaving the cave.

Alex would never refuse an adventure with Stella.

They went through the forest, avoiding the monsters with ease. The level difference scared most monsters around them since Alex had leveled up significantly on his adventures.

He would have to go truly deep in Earth Soul Land to face enemies on his level. However, if he did that, it would mean going through the border of his Deathwill Castle’s lands, stepping into the grounds loyal to the soul grave-keeper.

He would find more hungry demons, undead, and people associated with the soul grave-keeper.

BANG!

On their adventure, Stella and Alex recorded the sound of an explosion. They immediately sped up, coming closer to the origin of such ear-splitting sound. The closer they got, the more dense mana became.

They inferred that there was a battle going on.

Alex squinted his eyes, “Wolfen Demon… is fighting the hungry demons.”

“He’s no longer himself,” Stella replied expressionlessly.

Before them, Wolfen Demon was in his Ultimate Skill form. However, his physique was vastly different from what it used to be.

He was in a humanoid form. He had wolf ears and a tail… He had wolf legs’ too, but his arms remained humanoid, just with wolf skin around them. Other than that, he had his human looks, looking pretty intense.

His eyes were entirely red, the demonic energy brimming within those.

Before his feet, Wolfen Demon had the hungry demon. Alex recognized that face as that guy used to be Schnee’s main enemy. She would often hunt him down and complain about his horny personality.

His whole body was mauled by claws. He had blood raining down from his head, not looking like a humanoid existence. He kept screaming, shouting some words at Wolfen Demon.

But then, Wolfen Demon parted his jaw. He absorbed the hungry demon’s concept and energy into his body, snatching away his enemy’s immortality.

BOOM!

His powers surged once again. His level rose.

[Wolfen Demon Lv. 55 HP: 15 000 MP: 5762]

“WOLFEN!” the guy cried before gasping for the last time.

He died.

His body didn’t turn into particles… He didn’t disappear.

It was the resident’s death…

“It’s you…” Wolfen Demon’s red eyes turned to Alex…

He spoke as if he was sane… But in the next second, his thumped with the demonic energy, corroding his mind… He was slowly losing himself… And in fact, it was the last hungry demon in Alex’s Deathwill Castle’s land.

That last demon turned Wolfen Demon into a killing machine…

His sanity slowly disappeared… His whole purpose also slowly dispersed as he drove himself into more insanity.

Wolfen Demon’s body surged with power. His muscles kept growing, his sharp teeth prolonged. His fur became even longer, swaying alongside the swirling demonic energies around him.

“It’s me,” Alex said, unfazed by the transformation.

He lifted his hand, “Give me Dullahan King’s Sword!” He shouted to Erin, who could hear and see him very well in those lands.

The black sword fell from the sky, landing perfectly in Alex’s hand. In his second hand, Alex took out the dwarven sword.

[You can not wield The Dullahan King’s Sword.]

[You do not use Elias Deathwill’s Swordsmanship to bypass the level gap.]

[Due to your meeting with *****, you can use the Dullahan King’s Sword.]

“I promised to talk with you about items, Wolfen Demon… But I have more topics to talk about with you… So let’s have a talk… Ultimate Skill!” Alex shouted.

[You have used The Dullahan King’s Sword’s Ultimate Skill.]

[Due to your meeting with *****, you can bring out more of the sword’s Ultimate Skill.]

[Your race has changed.]

[Your nickname has changed.]

Alex’s eyes burst out with soul power. His skill, [Soul Eyes of Alexander Deathwill], activated itself. He could see more than just a perfect view around himself in his current state.

He saw Wolfen Demon’s soul.

He saw a little wolf within his body curled up, crying out of loneliness and powerlessness. He looked so hopeless that Alex thought someone else’s soul was within Wolfen Demon.

But that was indeed Wolfen Demon.
