He only had two ideas on why he couldnât see the demonâs health, and the most likely culprit was what Caedia had mentioned earlier.
It was immortal, so naturally, unless he destroyed all the demonic cores, it would remain alive forever.
What a troublesome enemy⊠Rael thought with a sigh. I wish my Primordial Sight skill could see its core, but sadly thatâs not the case.
âRael.â Seryn tapped on his shoulder. âItâs a Wrath-type demon. It has a lot of physical power, and it grows stronger the more damage we deal to it. However, it also has pretty poor durability, so all we need to do is cut it apart and find its cores.â
âWhat an infodump.â Rael whistled. âI understand. I can probably blast its body to bitsâyou can deal with the rest.â
Truthfully, he would prefer killing this thing, but the amount of stats he would get from something like a General Class monsterâa level 125 at thatâwouldnât exactly be worth it.
Therefore, even an assist was enough.
âCaedia, are you going to participate?â Rael asked, staring at her through the windshield. âOr do you at the very least want to warm my seat?â
She sighed, and almost as if it were a chore, she stepped out of the car and headed toward the two of them.
âI donât understand why weâre even doing this. Letâs just leave the demon aloneâthe Depths will naturally purge it,â Caedia said plainly. âSo what Iâm basically saying is that this is a waste of time.â
Rael shrugged. âEven if itâs a waste of time, Iâve never actually seen a demon before. So what do you say we go fight it, and if it looks like weâre about to lose, we dip?â
âI refuse,â Seryn said firmly. âWe at the Blue Dragon Sect take care of the demonic forces, whether it is demonic cultivators or even demons incarnate. I will not turn a blind eye to such behavior.â
âThatâs a bit righteous, donât you think?â Rael commented with a tilt of his head. âBut sure man, Iâll scrape your corpse off the ground with a spatula, I promise.â
Seryn scoffed, then shot a glance at both Rael and Caedia before suddenly dashing off toward the demon.
âMate, I think youâre forgetting we donât have a plan?â Rael called out, but Seryn didnât reply and merely kept going.
Soon, he leapt into the sky and transformed himself into a beam of lightning. He swiftly struck down on the demonâs colossal body. However, apart from making a truck-sized hole in it, Seryn didnât do much.
In fact, that injury healed in less than a second, and as it did, the demon finally took notice of their presence.
âWell shitâŠâ Rael sighed. âFuck the plan I guess. Caedia, try to cut off its armsâeven if temporarilyâIâm going to try a little something.â
That little something was, of course, his imagination.
Seryn proceeded to attack the demonâs legs, and in the meantime, Caedia finally arrived, jumped up, and with a swift slash, cut off the demonâs arms.
But once again, they healed up instantly.
However, that was fine, as with the short amount of time that the two had bought him, Rael swiftly attempted a new combination.
Flames and anti-heal.
It was a simple concept but with a more reinforced idea. He would send out a hot flame, and after it connected with the target, it would attempt to gnaw at its injuriesâliterally not going out unless the demon were to rip out its entire arm at the shoulder.
Therefore, Rael swiftly tapped his black string.
<Black String: Wail of the Drowned>
<The enemyâs magic defense is reduced by 120% for 5 seconds!>
And with that, the red string immediately sent out a glowing blue note.
However, Rael didnât make it land on the demon just yet, as he proceeded to waitâuntil eventually, Seryn had landed a clean blow on its stomach, creating a massive hole.
Rael didnât sleep on the opportunity and quickly guided his blue note toward the open wound, which, upon making contact with the demonâs black skin, expanded into swirling blue flames that enveloped its stomach.
-2,428,929,110! Critical True Note! (1x Crystal Violin Blade)
-121,446,455 (x1 Intermediate Flameforged Arts)
The modifier on the damage was pretty bad. However, it seemed to have worked wonders, as the demon no longer healed.
âSeryn, unless you want to crawl up the demonâs ass and get its demonic cores, I suggest you get them now,â Rael said plainly, and with an annoyed look, Seryn soon proceeded to gather all his mana into his fists.
And then, like a bolt of thunder, he struck with his palm, decimating the demonâs upper body, leaving everything under the hole in the stomach intact.
However, what he had just destroyed soon began healing itself.
âThe demonic cores arenât up topâtheyâre below,â Seryn remarked with a conflicted look.
The moment he did, Raelâs brows furrowed.
Two demonic cores⊠below? No way⊠Raelâs eyes widened, and without even sparing a moment, he sent out a plain Violin Blade note, infusing it with only fire.
And as for where it was headed?
WellâŠ

âW-WoahâŠâ Caedia exclaimed, glancing back at him. âHow did you know?â
âIf I had two precious jewels, Iâd hide them in my balls too,â Rael remarked with a chuckle before freezing. âNot that Iâm going to hide anything in my ballsâthat seems a little too steep for my comfort.â
âRightâŠâ Caedia rolled her eyes. âGood job, I guess?â
Rael nodded at her with a wide grin and then turned to Seryn.
However, it seemed like something was off about him, as he was staring at the demonâs dissolving corpse silently.
âHey Seryn?â Rael called out. âYou alright, bud?â
However, as Seryn turned around, Rael was greeted by two black eyes, and of courseâŠ
<The Beast has awakened!>
<The Depths have fallen silent!>
<The Beast walks freely!>
Bruh.
