The Greatest Sinner

Chapter 246 - Gryphon And Wyvern

When Evan harnessed the power of the 68th demon, King Belial, demonic energy came out of his body. But Evan noticed something strange. He clearly felt that not only demonic energy was emanating from his body but also divine energy.

<This is very strange. In my past life, I had used the power of the 68th demon, King Belial, many times, but I had never once felt the presence of divine energy, so what is it...?>

Evan tried to understand the reason for this strange occurrence. In his past life, using this demon's power did not emit divine energy from his body. Otherwise, he would have died a long time ago. The divine and demonic energy would have torn his body to pieces, but now he could combine the two types of energies in his body.

<Hmm, is it possible that demon power works differently in this world? Or was it because I recently had two kinds of energy in my body at once? Because I somehow managed to combine them, now when I use the power of some demons, will divine energy being emitted from my body? This is all very confusing..> Evan thought.

Evan understood that this was most likely due to Lucifer's Shackles. Then because of the conflict of the two types of energies, he died, and it seems that now these changes began to affect the energy emitted by the demons.

<Lucifer...I urgently need to learn more about this name. Hopefully, Demonic Tree will have some information about him.>

...

The moment Evan harnessed the power of a demon, and a huge amount of demonic and divine energy came out of his body, it caught some people's attention.

Somewhere to the north, a few dozen kilometers from Vextin, in the depths of an abandoned castle.

"That energy...I felt that pulse again, and it's that energy..." Mumbled a tall man with glasses. He had blond hair and green eyes. He wore a long red robe with a picture of ebony on it. 

He had just finished another experiment and suddenly felt a pulse of strange energy.

"Last time, this pulse was very far away and quite weak, but now it is different. I can feel the direction in which the energy was released. I need to see what happened there."

He immediately headed toward the exit of the castle. The pulse happened quite a few kilometers away, so he decided to use his tame beast to get there quickly.

It was a large, icy wyvern. It was about twelve meters long and three meters tall. It looked elegant and majestic. Her wingspan was thirty meters. Her entire body was covered with many blue scales, glistening in the sunlight. Her blue eyes were deep and exuded an ancient aura. With a sharp crystal on end, the wyvern's long tail could cut through even the strongest metals and minerals without trouble. Each of its breaths emitted a small frost wave that could quickly turn water into ice.

The man approached the wyvern and quickly climbed on top of it. The beast rose quickly and flew like lightning into the distance. In the sky, it was like a blue flash heading toward its target.

At this speed, it would reach where the fire wave had passed in only ten minutes.

...

Somewhere in the west of "The Kingdom of Fallen Hopes," in a large palace built of white marble and gold.

A girl with short hair looked out through a panoramic window at the beautiful scenery of beautiful gardens and high, green hills. She had purple eyes and a tear-shaped tattoo under her left eye. She wore a long gold robe with a picture of three white drops.

Click.

A girl came into the room and said, "Mistress, we have detected a strange discharge of divine energy. According to our calculations, this place is very close to Vextin, should I send someone to check it out?"

"No, I'll do it myself." The girl said coldly and headed for her riding animal. This burst of energy seemed strange to her, she wanted to check it out for herself.

Her tame beast was a griffin. A proud creature with an ancient and antique aura. He was as fast as the wind. This griffin was unusual, with occasional discharges of lightning between its wings, indicating its elemental affinity with lightning.

She sat on the griffin, and it turned into a yellow flash of lightning. She would be there in just fifteen minutes.

...

That's when Evan felt a strange sense of unease. He felt as if some danger was looming over him that he would never be able to handle.

<It's been five minutes, I hope her brother comes soon.> Evan thought to himself. He didn't like that unpleasant feeling at all.

Nessa came up to him and said, "I don't know what that power was, but it was like heaven's punishment. Every one of my companions fears you as death itself?"

"Why is that?"

"Are you kidding? You've killed more than ten mages at the stage-one-Pointed Star with one spell. What's more, all vampires are afraid of fire magic and light magic spells. They think you can incinerate them with one look."

"They're partly right. I really was capable of that a few minutes ago, and I can do it again." Evan said calmly.

Hearing Evan's last words, Nessa's face contorted. She thought it was some extremely difficult spell, and Evan wouldn't be able to use it a second time, at least not for an extended period of time.

Evan could indeed use the demon power again, but he wasn't going to lose 100 years of his life for nothing.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to attack you. It's trivial to me. I don't care if you live or not, all I need now is blood magic spells." Evan said calmly.

"I understand, my brother should be here any minute." The moment she said that a tall man in a red cloak emerged from the tunnel.

"There he is." Mumbled Evan.
