Mormo ran into the legions of bats, the animals weren’t scared anymore, as if from anything, but Mormo instinctively terrified them. It was an ambivalent emotion, but an emotion that they could clearly feel!

They wanted nothing to do with him and started to scatter from the area. Mormo stood in place looking at them running away, but then, out of nowhere, the bats froze in place.

It was visible that they unwillingly turned around, their faces looked like they were desperate.

As they turned around to look at Mormo, a small kid appeared in the cave.

The kid looked like he was around 12 years old, he looked bored and annoyed at the same time.

“Hey, you fucker! What are you doing here? Who permitted you to be here? What’s your clan’s name?” the kid started to bomb Mormo with questions.

Mormo didn’t have to think a lot, he already classified this kid as an enemy!

Mormo’s essence was all over the place, so he inserted 60 percent of his essence into three small rocks and made them shoot into the kid’s body without any hesitation.

“Idiot, I have no desire to play with you!” the kid said as a weird purple cycle appeared around him. The stones flew into the cycle but kept moving inside the purple sphere as if nothing really happened.

The face of the kid changed dramatically, he jumped into the air and throw his essence into the three stones.

Mormo detected the essence immediately. To his surprise, the essence that the kid used was different! It was an essence that Mormo never saw before in this world, it was strange, in a way that Mormo couldn’t explain in words, he could just feel it! In some sense, it was closer to how Mormo’s essence felt than to the normal essence that is floating in the world randomly and everyone else uses!

The essence touched the stones that carried more than half of Mormo’s essence, the stones broke easily as the essence of the two parties started to push each other.

The kid tried to lock Mormo’s essence in place with his own. Mormo never even thought that this kind of battle tactic was even possible, the kid tried to circle Mormo’s essence and lock them in place the same way Mormo tried to lock the bodies of his opponents with essence.

It was a crazy idea for Mormo, but it somewhat made a lot of sense! With 3 percent of Mormo’s essence, he could lock in place all of his other essence, already half of Mormo’s essence was locked in place, but Mormo was happy! He started to utilize his essence in a counterattack. Both used their essence to circle the other’s essence. Mormo played Chess, Go and he was a programmer on Earth, his problem-solving skills were top-notch. He wasn’t afraid of this kid’s challenge, quite the opposite, he welcomed it!

Mormo easily freed his locked essence as he started to reverse the tide and dominate the area that the kid’s essence controlled before.

At a very fast pace, the kid’s essence started to be locked in place, particle after particle.

The kid practiced this kind of fighting his whole life, he knew a lot of tactics, most of which he didn’t fully understand. He was supposed to win against his opponent easily if the opponent was someone who understood nothing about essence’s utilization.

“How can it be?” the kid asked dumbly, Mormo managed to predict and overcome any tactic that the kid threw at him. “His moves, it’s so unconventional, it’s as if he can predict all my moves! Or maybe, is it that he can see into the future?” the kid thought to himself.

Mormo’s essence quickly and effortlessly surrounded the kid’s essence.

The kid only managed to secure 10 percent of his essence back into his body.

The panic on the kid’s face was visible, “Why didn’t that damn troll tell me about you! He is going to die when my father will learn about it!” The kid cursed as Mormo’s essence flew in his direction.

“Why isn’t your essence controllable?” the kid shouted.

When Mormo’s essence fell on the kid, he transferred into him the worst emotions that Mormo ever felt.

Before the effect even turn off, the kid started to throw up, his face turned white, and a lot of big and cold droplets of sweat covered his whole body.

The sword flew in the direction of the kid, which lost consciousness from the sheer shock of the things that he felt with Mormo’s influence.

They were surrounded by thousands of bats that just flew in place, while a big sword full of essence, flew in the kid’s direction. Pointed into his chest.

When the sword was only a meter from the kid, a creature flew out from inside the kid. By Earth’s standards, it looked like a devil, and it didn’t resemble anything that Mormo ever saw in this world before.

In general, this new world was filled with numerous humanoid creatures, unimaginable numbers of different races, but all of them resembled humans. It’s not only about their color or mass. They were more like humans with different traits.

The devil that flew out of the kid’s body didn’t look anything like a human. He had two legs and two hands, but just by looking at it you would never say that he resembled a human, it was like saying that a dog and a cat resemble each other because both of them walk on four legs. Anyone could feel that this devil is not a human!

The devil had two big and pointed horns, his skin was bloody red, his feet resembled the feet of a chicken, and his nails were long and sharp. Four black wings were attached to his back.

His eyes were yellow, but his overall aura was one of submission, which didn’t fit the devil’s appearance at all.

The devil extended its hands as if to catch the sword while shouting, “Kill him!”.

All the bats, as if they lost their minds, started to fly around Mormo with no regard for their life.

Mormo didn’t pay attention to the bats, he knew that he had to kill both the devil and the kid!

Mormo ran in the devil’s direction as the sword cut the devil’s hand in half, while kept shooting with almost no loss of force into his chest. The devil crushed a scroll with his other hand which immediately opened a portal behind him.

He threw the kid into the portal as the sword penetrated the devil’s chest.

As the portal closed, the whole area was instantly covered in ice, the air looked like it was in the process of collapsing in multiple areas and cracks appeared everywhere, everything stood in place. No one could move, but everyone could see everything that happened.

And as quickly as the ice came, the ice vanished, as if nothing happened.

Mormo didn’t wait or stop to think about anything as he made his sword explode inside the devil’s chest.

The devil looked confused while his head flew out of his body.

His torso was nonexistent, Mormo demolished it completely. The devil looked in Mormo’s direction with a thankful face. He died just like that.
