Chapter 1473 Controlling Demonic Energy!
-----
After learning a brand-new Divine Ability, I hesitated no more and decided to confront a bit of the Powers I've been using cautiously, even if it might exhaust me a bit, I had to try it and see how far I could get.
"{Primordial Sin: Gluttony}"
I activated the effects, as a red and black aura surged from my body, flowing like an endless venom across every artery of my body, and beginning to darken my golden colored soul.
FLUOOOSH!
The illusion of countless draconic jaws opening and closing emerged across my Aura, as I gritted my teeth and started to attempt to mediate.
"Urgh…!"
"DEVOUR…!"
"EAT!"
"YOU MUST… DEVOUR IT ALL!"
The voices kept ringing in my head, it felt as if darkness was beginning to spread across my mind, consuming my very thoughts.
This was worse than I remember! Argh, it's always worse than I remember!
However…
Ding!
[The Effects of the [Dragon King's Unshakable Psyche (SS)] have activated automatically.]
[After assessing that you're being under mental attack, its powers have been intensified to their fullest extent.]
[Your unwavering dragon heart is beginning to resist the mental erosion!]
I won't let you control me anymore; you damn Sin!
You're mine, and I am the one in charge!
"Devour…!"
"Devour it all, fool!"
"Why are you fighting against your greatest desire?!"
"This mere Skill is not going to do a single thing to save you!"
"I shall eventually…!"
"Urgh…!"
The voice started growing weaker. It felt as if the Sin itself not only was alive, but it seemed to have a mind of its own… What the heck are Primordial Sins?
Are they truly just a Curse made by the World, or something even deeper? The Curse is not only powerful enough to give us incredible power, but it also has a mind of its own.
FLUOOSH!
However, as the more I resisted the influence of Gluttony, the stronger its intensity became over my body. Its energy seeping deep within my body and soul as I was finally feeling something I could grasp further than to only unleash barbaric attacks without many thoughts put on them.
"Urgh…! T-This is painful as hell though!"
As I was trying to harness this power, it felt as if Gluttony had become pissed off it couldn't easily corrupt my mind anymore and began to inflict as much pain as it could into my body and soul.
"YOU SHALL BE DEVOURED THEN!"
TRUUUMM…!
It felt as if my whole body was being constantly electrocuted, the agony alone making me scream and groan in pain, grasping the floor with my claws.
"ARGH…! FUCK!"
"Papa?"
Benladra and Kate quickly noticed there was something wrong with me as I was struggling to harness the powers of Gluttony, shockwaves of demonic energy surging from my body.
"Drake! What are you doing?!" Benladann asked. "This power… Don't tell me it is that power?!"
"I-I'm doing my best to harness it! I can't let it control me anymore." I said while gritting my teeth. "S-Stand back…! Stand back please…! I need space… Or else- URGH!"
"THEY LOOK TASTY, DON'T THEY?!"
Shut up!
"Their bodies are overflowing with power, why don't you give them a nibble? More power to you! With more power, you will be able to defeat anybody… You will no longer taste defeat!"
SHUT UP!
"STOP FIGHTING! BE CONSUMED!"
"NO!"
I was already on my thirty seconds of harnessing this power, the red and black lightning-like energy surging from my body slowly started to move before my command.
It took an unbearable amount of will and pain to reach this point, I cannot step back now that I've been taking a handle of it!
["You can do it Drake! I know you can!"]
The System kept cheering for me, as I kept gritting my teeth.
"STOP FIGHTING POINTLESSLY!"
Gluttony grew frustrated, its powers beginning to encompass my entire body as this thing attempted to devour me… It felt as my own Aura was trying to drain me out of all my power.
"AAARRGGHH..! F-FUCK!"
It felt so agonizing, more than anything I've ever experienced. But at the end, this was my own power! I have to control it, if its really part of me, then I'll be in charge!
"RAAAH!"
FLUOOSH!
Suddenly, the crimson and black energy of Gluttony, a highly refined version of simple Demonic Energy, ran through my veins all the way from my heart, where the Demon King Seed had been growing.
It emerged as two spheres of swirling darkness and crimson energy, it felt as if my Vampiric Powers and Divine Abilities were influencing my ability to control too, they were very compatible, in fact!
Was the Venerable of Blood the Demon King of Gluttony before me? It would make sense, seeing how many people he devoured… Perhaps his powers were made to be compatible with it, and also…
To control it better!
"Stop resisting, you pathetic lizard… You cannot control me! I am the Heart of Gluttony; I am the Manifestation of all hunger! I was made to bring calamity!"
Gluttony wasn't giving up, right now, I couldn't tame its powers completely nor use it indefinitely, no matter how hard I could try.
But with this, definitely, I can extend its duration usage by several times the original ten minutes!
"Ugh…! Almost… there!"
TRUUUMMM…!
I condensed the Gluttony Demonic Energy emerging from the palms of my hands, shaping it and shapeshifting it as much as possible to train my ability to transform its form.
Gluttony itself was furious that I was trying to control its uncontrollable power, but it would have to bear with it!
"RAAAAH! STOP CONTROLLING ME!"
TRUUUUMMMM…!
An even stronger shockwave of energy emerged, frying all of my nerves with the amount of agony I had to go through, only for them to regenerate instantly, giving me constant and endless pain.
This was one of the terrible backlashes of having an Immortal Body, I can't escape from pain, it will always regenerate my nerves, and I cannot get used to it either, it will simply keep coming back, fresh as if it was the first time I could ever feel pain.
To resist it all this time, I've developed an incredibly strong mental fortitude, but against Gluttony, that seemed to be nothing… Until now.
"YOU…! I'LL DEVOUR YOU!"
As Gluttony complained, I released its powers.
And I collapsed on the ground.
