Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Demonic Tree
===
Adriana entered the rift and used her Astral Energy on her eyes, thus achieving night vision, along with a shocking improvement in her perception.
She began to feel that with each step she took, the surroundings grew heavier, that chaotic Demonic energy growing more potent.
And after less than 2 minutes of walking and analyzing her surroundings, Adriana found herself in a wide and deep space, to the point of not being able to see the bottom, even with her improved vision.
Looking at the ceiling, he saw the ceiling of a cave, but he also saw black vines and rocks, which led to a hole in the ceiling, which allowed light to enter, but there is a thick purple mist, preventing light from falling on the environment.
And Adriana saw what would be the main and most striking part of the environment, an enormous and thick black tree, covered with black and purple vines, where there are some shiny balls all over the tree's body.
Approaching, Adriana stopped and said. - "I know you're there, how about you come out and say hello?"
A silence dominated the environment, until from behind the tree, a figure showed up, having a tall and slender physique, height of at least 2 meters, long ram horns coming out of his forehead, legs that are the legs of a boat .
The woman who just appeared has small breasts and a flat ass, but she has a beautiful face and vibrant eyes.
"You how do you know my language?" - Asked the woman in a sharp tone as she extended her hand and soon a spear appeared.
'Hum, this is interesting!' - Adriana thought when analyzing it.
[Laminis(Lv.105) HP: 100%]
"I have a universal translation device, I speak all languages and listen in them too." - Adriana said carefree.
"I see, I believe you are the one who caused the explosions, right?" - Asked Laminis putting his spear on the ground.
"Indeed, these unstable Demonic Cores are a good strategy, I believe their plan was to cause chaos in nearby villages and towns while continuously collecting precious Demonic Cores when least expected, Ka-Boom!" - Adriana said laughing while making gestures.
" yes, from what I see, she is alone" - Laminis said calmly, constantly looking around.
"Same for you, but then what is this thing, I believe it is the cause of the mutation of Demon Beasts and animals, right?" - Adriana asked calmly while looking at the tree.
"You are interesting, I don't understand if this faade of yours is due to your confidence or just silliness!" - Said Laminis showing sharp teeth.
Hearing this, Adriana smiled and said. - "Confidence, I find it difficult that with your strength, you are a challenge for me!"
Laminis snorted, getting into a fighting stance.
"Serious? We're having such a good conversation, you know, I don't like killing pretty women, how about we have some tea and sort it out peacefully?" - Asked Adriana smiling.
Hearing this, Laminis raised an eyebrow thoughtfully before saying. - "Well, eat one of the seeds, if you do, I will allow you to enjoy a good meal next to me!"
"Hmmm tempting, but you know, what if I'm allergic to that fruit? Can you tell me what it is?" - Asked Adriana curious.
Laminis who had a relaxed and even mocking smile, suddenly advanced, Adriana was slightly surprised and also advanced.
A smile appeared on Laminis' lips, where she, less than 6 meters away from Adriana, suddenly attacked and a black beam shot out.
Adriana had already expected it, an impulse came from below and she jumped ten feet, before another impulse came from behind and she lunged at the shocked Laminis.
And Adriana kneed Laminis in the face and
BOOM!
An explosion sounded as Laminis was catapulted away, while Adriana landed on the ground while waving her leg.
"Damn, causing joint explosions is hell!" - Adriana growled, but saw that it was efficient.
"FUCKING!!!" -Laminis roared stridently when a purple robe covered her body and she began to demonstrate an absurd amount of Mana and Demonic Energy.
"I already knew she was a Sorceress, it was obvious!" - Adriana said smiling as Laminis' spear became a staff.
If Laminis was a warrior, which she isn't, being Level 105, naturally her speed should be far superior to that, not to mention the way she held the spear what the fuck was that?
In the end, Laminis tried to be smart and take her by surprise, but unfortunately for Laminis, Adriana is experienced and perceptive!
"You know, if you were focused on physical combat, I might have a few problems, but being a Sorceress, it's unfortunate that I eat Mages for breakfast!" - Adriana said laughing.
"What nonsense, now die you inferior!" - Roared Laminis while a powerful beam came from the staff towards Adriana, along with dozens of smaller beams emerged from black portals that appeared on the sides of Laminis and all aiming at Adriana.
Adriana quickly analyzed the environment, putting her palms together, she made the tip of a triangle with her fingers, then her Astral Energy manifested itself in a triangular shield that received the powerful beam.
Soon came the smaller beams, where the shield tripled in size to defend them all.
But Adriana saw that the difference in levels is very high, along with that, there is the fact that what most affects her Astral Manifestations is her Intelligence and Wisdom.
That is, this was about to be destroyed, as such, Adriana began to move forward when going around.
Laminis was smiling maniacally as she exerted even more pressure, but when she saw Adriana coming from the side, she aimed the beam at her.
Then several platforms began to appear in Adriana's path, which began to step on them and jump, Laminis aimed at her, destroying the platforms.
The Astral Ax appeared in Adriana's hands, who filled it with AP and when she saw a good vision, Adriana threw it!
Laminis snorted, leaping to the side and the ax slammed into the ground, mockingly she said. - "Your aim is awful, inferior!"
"My aim is perfect, cow!" - Adriana said snorting and suddenly the Astral Energy stored in the ax manifested itself creating on both sides of the axe, huge ax heads that fiercely cut everything in its path.
Laminis was very reckless, but there was also no way she could have imagined that something like this would happen right next to her.
And the blade that fired went straight for his thigh, severing his left leg, continued to his waist, stopping in the middle, but that was enough!
KYAAAAAAAHHH!!!!
Laminis let out a high-pitched scream as he fell to the ground, his hands reaching for his missing leg and the massive wound in the other.
Adriana landed in front of her and even though she didn't like it, she drew a sword and made swift movements, before Laminis reacted, slashing deep into her armpits and elbows, causing Laminis even more agony.
She then kicked Laminis in the chin, putting her to sleep for now.
"Well, let's stop the bleeding and see what I get!" -Adriana said smiling when a cold look took her face!
[Demon Seed: Grants demonic power to whoever consumes it, initially being unstable, but given the right time, it is possible to stabilize and become a Demon!]
(Note: It is extremely beneficial for demon races!)
"Hmmm... interesting, I didn't know such a thing could exist, it seems the System is getting more capable every day!" - Adriana said while keeping several of these seeds that seem to have a type of embryo inside.
She found it disgusting, but since it is beneficial for demon races, it means it will be useful for Lily.
Now, as for that tree Adriana planted several Unstable Demon Cores, it was at key points, like the roots of the tree and the like.
But before blowing everything up, Adriana manifested her ax and started hitting the tree trunk, until she knocked it down, just then she took Laminis and blew everything up!
...
In a Level 1 Infinite Dungeon, Adriana was sitting down, while Laminis is tied in front of her, both of her legs missing, her horns also cut off.
When she did that, Level 105, it became 49/105, she got a lot weaker, but that's not the important thing right now.
"Hey, I know she's awake, so how about spouting?" - Adriana said, slapping her face.
Laminis opened his eyes and glared at Adriana, wanting to tear her apart, even more so when he saw his horns beside her.
"Let's do it this way, I don't like killing beautiful women, much less dismembering them, that's not something someone civilized and magnanimous like me likes to do, but I do!" - Adriana said coldly.
"Then it will be like this, tell me what your race is, what you were doing and what your goal is!" - Adriana said coldly, but Laminis did not open his mouth.
"You know, I usually like crazy ones, the first woman I got to have some sort of crush on had a beautiful white tail, she punched me that sent me flying, the second had a fervent hatred of humans, she almost killed me several times.
times, but it turned out to be a bit masochistic and sadistic, desiring a forbidden passion, which I loved participating in!
My 3rd is a killer without many emotions, but she is a hottie cute as fuck, she can't help but fall in love, even a rock would fall in love with that beautiful little thing!
My 4th crush, on the other hand, started with a very abusive relationship, a succubus demon, I loved to abuse her, but later I learned to love her and she proved to be very loyal to me, so I guaranteed her a space by my side and she did an excellent job!" - Adriana said to herself, feeling sadness and joy.
Laminis listened to this with indifference, except for the last part, non-believer.
"Hooo~ I see, so you're a Demon, interesting, but since you called me inferior, something that falls between us, it's quite cliche, but let's be real, there is no such thing as superior or inferior, in the end strength says everything, fuck the rest and I'm the strong one here, now answer me what I want to know, I really don't want to hear your screams of pain, which won't have a shred of pleasure, which is unfortunate, since all girls I've hooked up with always fall in love!" - Adriana said laughing, Laminis snorted, just to play a punch in the face.
"I'm not asking sweetheart, I'm ordering!" - Said Adriana who started punching Laminis' face, breaking her teeth and pointy nose.
Next she pulled out a knife, then cut Laminis's clothes, showing her small breasts. - "I'm not a big fan of the little ones, but I admit that they have their charm, it's a shame you won't have them anymore!"
Laminis widened his eyes in pain and despair.
"Please stop I'll tell please I'll tell" - Laminis, bathed in blood and without limbs, was begging.
Her state is very deplorable, an example is the lack of one of her eyes and an ear, several deep cuts on her body, where due to her natural regeneration and the fact that Adriana forced her to eat some of those fruits, which in fact healed, but only prolonged his suffering.
Thus Laminis experienced a hell she never dreamed possible, now she was begging for it to end!
"Okay, come on, if you kept being persistent I would have to start cutting out more sensitive and pleasure parts, but you know you wouldn't have that luxury." - Adriana said smiling.
Terrified Laminis began to speak, she is indeed a Demon, she lives in the Zamazu Mountain Range, home of the Goat Demons, she is one of Noble Blood.
Laminis said that demons have 4 types of bloodlines, being the Inferior, Noble, Royal and Diabolic.
She is a Sorceress of some fame, having enslaved some primitive tribes, such as Orcs, Goblins, Gnolls, Catwomans and others, which is quite common for someone of her superior lineage.
But in the last 50 years, the Inhabited Lands have been discovered, home to diverse nations of every kind of race.
Taking advantage of the constant wars and conflicts, they are aiming to meddle between the Human Race and others, slowly taking control.
At first it is to reduce their numbers and cause more intrigue, Laminis is not the only one protecting a Demonic Tree, there are dozens of others that have been planted in the last 50 years, it is only in this decade that the fruits began to ripen, so in many other important points, something like what is happening here will be repeated.
As for the main goal of your species, conquer!
His Demon Race and several others, such as the Hawks or the Banshees, were not very happy to see such a huge population without proper governance, so they decided to enslave these weak and inferior races.
"You lesser Humans a bunch of vermin that reproduce at incredible speed the perfect slaves!" - Said Laminis panting.
Adriana listened carefully, finding it lame, but in fact, Laminis is only 2nd in the bloodline category, but it's already Level 100, she also said that even the Lesser Demons, are 2 to 3 times stronger than the elites of their races.
Sure, their numbers are smaller, but it's still worrying as nations don't expect such a race to exist.
Naturally there must be some impressive women who must have already found out about their race and reported it to their rulers, who must be preparing.
Adriana didn't think much about it, she just wanted all the necessary information from Laminis, until she just started repeating herself and in a crazy way, spitting threats about her race being doomed, that the Demon Royalty will show what real power is!
And when the Devil's daughters awaken, all his Queens would be brought to their knees and enslaved like whores!
In this Adriana ended her life, throwing her corpse in the Inventory.

[Diary of Laminis]
[Staff of Laminis(Rare)]
[Robe of Laminis(Rare)]
Adriana has obtained several items and equipment, as well as many crafting materials, likely to help her forge her items.
Anyway, Adrina gladly accepted it, she reached Level 55 but let the 4 Attribute Points sit for now.
She then took a look at the equipment, disappointed, but it was likely that Lily would like it.
Opening the [Diary of Laminis], she found that it has many of the things she said, but there are also shameful things, about how some demon was beautiful and had a huge dick, others about her sexual relations, about daughters she had and etc. .
She then focused on the Mutated Demon Beasts, talking about her research, as well as the aberration that was initially a Volatile Bear that was fed many Demonic Seeds, just as it took many other Mutated Beasts to be devoured and assimilated.
Over time, that grotesque thing underwent several mutations, becoming colossal and very powerful, but it lost the ability to move, it was just intimidating and clear, it had the ability to self-destruct, which should create a huge explosion and spread a poisonous mist for several kilometers .
Adriana took a look at the drawings, Laminis was a good draftsman, she detailed the physical changes in the creatures a lot, a margin of how strong they got and such.
Adriana spent that night at her house, reading Laminis' diary, finding the everyday life of a Demon curious, she was very detailed in practically everything.
Of course, this Diary must be from the last 4 years, as it has less than 2,000 pages and more than 1,500 are filled.
Adriana stopped reading after a while, as she went to prepare something to eat, but in the middle of cooking something, she ended up getting airborne, thinking about different things, mainly the atrocities she did with Laminis and some others in the past.
It disturbed her, but when she smelled a burning smell, she cursed and threw it all away, before refocusing and preparing something to eat.
Adriana continued in the forest for a while longer, hunting the Mutant Demon Beasts, killing as many as she could and being lucky to reach Level 58.
It took her 2 days, but Adriana took the opportunity to read the diary a lot, finishing it in that time, discovering many important things, as well as the geography of that Cordillera de Zamazu.
Not to mention that in her [Map], some points of interest appeared, where this place should probably be.
But Adriana has no desire to kill herself, if a Noble Blood is Level 100, a Royal Blood must be Level 150, peak Tier 2 or even already being Tier 3!
And the System informed him quite a lot that in Tier 3, there is a qualitative change that has no comparison, so it goes without saying that the said Daughters of the Devil must be at the peak of this world in power.
If Adriana goes there, she will surely be killed!
2 days later!
Adriana spotted the Village of the Hunters, which is with little movement and there are enough troops, it seems that the Lady of Prune City was informed and must have already sent the army.
Adriana then took a potato sack from her inventory, Laminis' corpse and placed it inside, before walking towards the village.
"Where does it come from?" - Asked an officer in a severe and questioning tone.
"Of the forest!" - Adriana said calmly.
"What's in the bag?" - Asked the officer frowning, finding Adriana very strange.
"A corpse!" - Said Adriana.
"Than?" - Asked the officer with her hand on the hilt of her sword.
"From a demon!" - Adriana said smiling.
"What?" - The officer was even more confused.
"Look, let's not waste any more time, I'm done playing around, I'm starving and I want to finish reporting what I found in this shitty forest, so how about taking me to whoever's in charge of this shit?" - Adriana said rudely.
The officer frowned, but understood that Adriana is nothing out of the ordinary, even curious, she has to report and that's what she did.
Adriana was escorted to what appears to be the prison.
"Wow that looks familiar to me" - Adriana said to no one in particular, she was then taken to a room where there was already a woman waiting.
"Are you the adventurer who is carrying a corpse in a potato sack and claims to be a demon?" - Asked the woman without even looking at Adriana.
Adriana didn't answer, she just went to the available seat and snuggled down, dropping the bag and saying. - "Yes!"
The woman looked at Adriana, the documents in her hands, she released them, intertwined her fingers and said. - "So what happened?"
"I got curious while I was training a very talented girl, so I rescued some greedy Mercenaries who were hunting and decided to go to Demon Mountain, I discovered a lot of interesting things, I killed a lot of Mutant Demon Beasts and this!" - Adriana said unwrapping Laminis and dropping her mutilated corpse on the ground.
The woman frowned, noting that she must have been very torturous, but she noticed the severed arms and legs as well.
"I had to be a little rough to get information, as she insisted on swearing in her language, but she could speak ours, so she had to work on her grammar a lot!" - Adriana said smiling.
The woman studied Laminis' corpse, in fact, it doesn't belong to any race she knows, let alone a half-breed.
Not to mention those severed horns. - "I don't see your horns, where are they?"
"I have them in storage, a good material full of energy, they can become a good weapon!" - Adriana said calmly.
"Take them off!" - Said the woman authoritatively.
"I refuse, now sit down and write down what I have to say!" - Adriana said seriously.
"I don't think you understand your situation, brat!" - Said the woman hitting the table.
"Sorry, but I believe I'm like 3 times older than you, but who's counting? I sure as hell not!" - Adriana said laughing and shrugging.
The woman frowned, as that implies many things. - "Now sit your nice ass on the chair and listen, use the information to get some promotion or that political shit!"
And then Adriana started to tell about Laminis, Demon Tree and Demon Seeds, as it is likely that something similar is happening in several other locations across all nations.
The woman listened with a frown, but soon became incredulous, not believing something so absurd.
But Adriana didn't mind and continued with only a part.
Soon the woman was thoughtful, since in fact, similar situations are happening in other places, where they believe to be some kind of magical phenomenon, but it seems not to be the case.
"Can I trust?" - She asked.
"I have no reason to lie, ask questions and write down the information, it should earn you a nice reward!" - Adriana said smiling.
