Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 176: CHAPTER 176 – Demonic Energy.

Demonic energy, just like mana is an energy that could be used to perform various sorts of magic and stuff.

But unlike mana, it is not gentle, neither is it calm.

It is destructive and wild.

Demonic energy is one of the hardest energies to control because it is berserk energy.

It is more potent and stronger than mana.

However, just because it is more potent and stronger doesn't mean that a mana user would lose to someone who uses demonic energy.

It's just that one would have to use much less demonic energy for a task that requires a large amount of mana.

There is also the fact that the attacks powered by demonic energy would be stronger and corrosive, but that's all.

But there was a thing about demonic energy.

One can never have demonic energy if they don't have a suitable bloodline or physique.

There are some exceptions like always, but they are very rare.

Alex was now able to use that same energy.

He had the Celestial Incubus bloodline, and once he broke through Epic rank, it gave him the ability to control demonic energy just like mana.

Right now, Alex was using just that.

Demonic energy is corrosive, like poison.

It is advised not to come in contact with demonic energy if you are not strong enough to expel it.

The Aquathren was not strong enough to be able to expel the demonic energy that was pushed inside of him by Alex who was an Epic-ranker.

'It takes time, I see…'

Alex muttered inwardly when he saw what was happening.

He had been watching the wisp of demonic energy that he released in the Aquathren's body with his all-seeing eyes.

'It's devouring the mana in his body….'

Alex could see the demonic energy growing slowly as it devoured the mana present in the body.

Then finally he grinned as he saw what happened.

The demonic energy that was devouring mana had now emptied the guy's mana reserve.

The guy must not have noticed it as he was worried about what was happening and what would happen to him.

With so many things going on in his head, he was unable to look at what was happening inside his body.

'Not like he could've done something to stop it,' Alex just shrugged.

To stop the demonic energy, he needs to control the demonic energy, which is impossible for an Aquathren like him.

'Now starts your suffering….'

Alex muttered inwardly as his grin widened on the outside.

There was not a single feature on his face that could be called gentle right now, all the Aquathren hanging in the air saw was a devil showing him a bloodthirsty smile, a smile that was asking for entertainment.

He felt that something bad was about to happen and the next second his eyes widened in pain.

"ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

The Aquathren shouted as it felt its innards burning.

That guy could feel his blood burning.

"What is this?!?!?!"

"Please stop it?!?!"

"I beg of you?!?!"

It was as if something was eating him from the inside, and he was correct, 'something' was eating him from the inside.

'It really is devouring his blood and cells…'

Alex mused inwardly.

The screams and pleas of the Aquathren were filtered out by his ears automatically.

It was like they were not even there.

He was much more focused on observing the Demonic energy, after all, he was conducting an experiment.

The Aquathren guy in front of him was just his test subjects, and since when did scientists start listening to their test subjects?

[That is what demonic energy does, it eats away everything, even if the life force, but that is until you can control it.]

Sophia commented on Alex's words.

'Hm,' Alex nodded his head.

The Aquathren guy continued screaming with all his might.

His voice had turned hoarse but it still screamed.

He called for help from his allies, he prayed to whatever god he believed in, and he tried pleading again and again, but nothing worked.

The other Aquathrens just stood there like statues as they watched all this with horror written all over their faces.

Seeing one of their own kind, someone they were laughing and chatting with screaming like a pig being slaughtered was a bit too much for even them to handle.

However, soon the guy's scream became whimpers of pain.

Then only groans could be heard until it all stopped altogether.

*Snap*

Alex snapped his figure and the guy fell to the ground.

"Hey, you still alive?" Alex moved a step closer and kicked the guy lightly, shaking him a bit.

"If you reply within three seconds then I will let you goooo," Alex spoke with a gentle smile as he started counting.

"3….

2….

You know, this is your last chance…."

Alex paused for a second before he added.

"And 1.

Guess you're really dead huh…"

Alex shook his head with a sigh of disappointment.

But then a wide smile married his face.

"I will just have to ask your brothers and sister for help then…."

Alex spoke with a grin as he looked toward the Aquathrens who were still unable to move.

"Who should I pick next….?" Alex held his chin with a thoughtful expression as he looked at the Aquathrens one by one.

But just then everyone noticed the dead guy's body turned purple.

Alex noticed as well, and his eyes shone with realization.

"I almost forgot it," Alex spoke as he moved his palm toward the corpse of the guy and made a grabbing gesture.

Nothing happened for a second or two before a black mass of energy started gathering in front of the corpse.

"Yes, that's it, come back to me now…"

Alex muttered as he focused more on the black mass of energy, and in just 2 seconds the mass of energy shot toward Alex.

"Alex!" X2

Alice and Ann shouted as they stood up from their seats, Noctura almost rushed at Alex if not for him lifting his palm up.

"…It's fine, I'm fine…"

Alex spoke in a low voice, with his head held down as if he was trying to suppress something.

Alice, Ann, and Noctura were confident that nothing would happen to Alex, but they still looked at him worriedly.

'Hahahaha.'

'He must be suffering!'

'How do you like the taste of your own medicine!'

The Aquathrens, on the other hand, were celebrating.

They thought that Alex had harmed himself with that energy of his, but all of their thoughts came to a halt the next second...

*Chuckle*

Alex's chuckle was heard.

That chuckle sent chills to every one of the Aquathrens' spins.

It was like the bell of hell was ringing in their ears, they didn't know why but they felt something very very bad was about to happen.

Then they saw Alex lifting his head up and looking at them.

"That was yummy…."

Alex spoke with a wide smile.

His eyes were sparkling with delight as he looked at the Aquathrens in front of him.

But that look just made the sinking feeling in the Aquathrens' hearts intensify.
