[ Congratulations upon successfully evolving toward Demon/Low-Level Entity! ]
Gasp... Gasp...
The sound of the familiar notification keeps resounding in Leo's consciousness, making one's senses momentarily deaf as the thick black smoke finally vanishes within his soul...
However, even though that was the case, Leo's sense of sight never left the ceiling above, as if his sense of reasoning still hadn't come back to him after finally evolving...
The sense of pain and dread that he experienced earlier keeps repeating within his nerves, making his shadow body twitch uncontrollably as he occasionally releases a heavy gasp of pain...
Soon, after another hour of twitching. Leo's body slowly calmed down, grabbing the skull beside him as he unhurriedly sat up...
However, before he could successfully sit up, his hand, which was grasping the skull beside him suddenly passed through toward it, causing him to again fall toward the cold wet ground...
Splashing the ink-black water toward the surroundings as it silently created a ripple...
This...
"No~ this, give me my physical body back!"
Leo shouted shrilly, causing the void to tremble under his voice as he gripped his hand akin to a shadow with force. (Due to his unstable mentality, Leo couldn't think properly, causing him to react in unexpected ways.)
"I~ I don't want to revert back to being a ghost!"
Leo shivered in fear and unknown, the scene of him being alone again resurfaced within his mind... Feeling that the past despair again slowly coming to him.
If he were given another chance, he would never choose to evolve his race nor try to mutate it, alas, there were no medicines for regrets... He could only cope with it as he slowly descended into the abyss.

Above the pit, toward the corner of the cemetery, three beings shrouded by darkness slowly approach the eternal resting place, moving within the shadows as they avoid being seen by moonlight above...
"Is this the place?"
One of the silhouettes silently whispered toward the being near him as he gazed at the fog that slowly enveloped the cemetery in the front... Wearing a dark robe that covered the upper body of his face, the corner of his dry lips slowly curled upward in nervousness...
"Yes, we will meet in this place often, this is a perfect place since no one was living in this cemetery... Moreover, it's far away from that town."
One of the silhouettes calmly said as he constantly scanned the cemetery in satisfaction, feeling that it was the perfect place to become their hideout.
"I see, then we need to inform the other group after we explore the place."
The other silhouette interrupted as he hurriedly summoned a blade in his left hand. Within the shadow, it silently released a rotting smell that quickly transversed the surrounding atmosphere...
Under the veil of the dark robe, the man's eyes quietly shone with dangerous glint, as he smiled with cruelty...
Although the other silhouette said that there was no living being in the cemetery, he could smell traces of human activity within...
Making his bloodlust jump in joy upon finally tasting the blood of another being after months of traveling.
With a thought, he excitedly walked toward the cemetery that was quietly shrouded by gray fog... Causing his figure to quickly vanish within the sight of the two as if he was being consumed by the place.
"Let's go, you go to the west while I go to the east part..."
Nodding his head, the silhouette with dry lips quickly vanished with the wind... Crossing the silent forest as it quickly rushes toward the west.

"I need the perfect time, I need to find the perfect time!"
Leo's shadow eyes revealed madness within, standing up as he examined his shadow body which was entirely different from his wisp/ghost form.
Compared to the dark wisp, his being was purely made of shadow acting as his main body...
His shadow body could extend similarly to the wisp/ghost form and could also pass through toward things/walls that had at least half-meter of thickness... Moreover, after focusing the density of his shadow body toward certain parts of his being, it could touch physical things, giving it the advantages of both ghost/spirit and semi-body.
"I need to find the perfect time or create a perfect time to condense my body again!"
Leo thought, his mind slowly calming down but it still carried a hint of madness within.
Staring above the pit, Leo manipulated his shadow body as he slowly ascended from the pit, having an idea of where he could find the perfect place.
"I only gain my physical body thanks to the child advancing... Since that is the case, I will go to the town! No one can stop me!"
...
Swish!
Gazing toward the surrounding place before looking at the astounded and fearful expression of the two silver skeletons in the short distance... Leo silently manipulated his shadow as he weakly patted their skull, causing the two skeletons to flinch in fright, wanting to avoid the demon in front of them but only in vain.
"Good job, keep guarding this place.
"Don't be fearful, I will soon recover my body... Hehehe"
Seeing their eyes filled with inconceivable fear, Leo's unstable mind began to fluctuate in anger, causing his shadow body to release intense darkness before again being suppressed as he forcefully calmed down.
Sigh...
Sighing with a heavy voice that could make a being shiver in fear, Leo activated his mist of illusion skill, instantly shrouding the cemetery with thick gray fog... Wanting to avoid beings seeing his current figure.
Although he had invisibility skills, cultivators didn't lack skills that could pry toward invisibility... Making him choose the Mist of Illusion skill due to the fact that it could suppress one's senses.

"This is great, you want to play hide in sick... Hehehe, this would be fun!"
The man halted on his track as he gazed toward his environment which was constantly being shrouded by gray fog, smiling wickedly as he felt that hunting a being who was good at hiding was fun...
Gripping the rotting blade on his palm, he unhurriedly transverses the land.
