The ones who should be with bright smiles and cheerful laughter were now just cold bodies and even their bodies were not complete ones. The unluckiest ones were already in the stomachs of monsters. Not only the flesh and organs, even the bones were chewed and swallowed. It obviously should have been a normal beautiful day but this sinful and attractive man changed everything.

Even to his friends, he seemed like a lunatic, mad and crazy. However little do they knew, the man was also no longer alive. Because at the very moment of his foolish ceremony succeeded, his soul was also devoured by the devil he tried to summoned.

After the devil occupied his body, he started to force his occupied body's buddies to arrange things as he wanted. He lied to them that he got a mysterious strength. He told them that he got a method to strengthen his power and he could also give them the same power as him. Of course, they didn't believe him but he killed one to force other people.

Finally, the portal was successfully connected to his territory in Abyss through a broken plane. Then, the result was a tragedy to the peaceful village. Dark minions and inferno wolves flooded into the Town. He also brought his ten Tier one guards, Greed devils.

Unlike the two cannon fodders, greed devils are worthy of Tier one beings. They have great defense, strength and a certain amount of regeneration ability. Moreover, all of them can become stronger with the amount of things they eat.

While the devil was reading the book in front of the sculpture of Jesus Christ on the wooden cross, a young man ran to him and reported, "Kyle, Ryne went missing. Hugo and Jack near his place also told me, they haven't seen Ryne."

Yes, this devil's current body had a name, Kyle Riverwood. Kyle was a boy who was very interested into mysterious things when he was alive. Things started when he accidentally bought back a book from Antique store in LA during his visit to his Aunt family.

Since he got that book with records about mysterious powers and summoning, he was very fascinated with the mysterious knowledge in it. So, he started to experiments the things written in the book with the dream of becoming a mysterious person.

It took a whole year for him to succeed the summoning magic recorded in the mysterious book.

All things have a certain price you don't know on them. We can sacrifice a certain thing to get what we want. But are you sure that you could afford it? – Elga Ravenclaw.

The devil read the line on the last page of the book and laughed softly. Like the infamous wiseman from Athens said, the original Kyle also paid the most expensive price, his life, even his soul, he lost all of them to a devil. However, it was also thank to that so he could come to this wonderful world full of life. The devil rejoiced. He quickly found out the preciousness of this mysterious book.

Of course, the knowledge is real, but original Kyle just didn't have enough strength and power to resist the devil from Abyss. It is unknown whether he would have stopped his footsteps to the doom if he had known his experiment would lead to today's situation of his hometown.

But regrets always come late only after the action. And some people didn't even have a chance to regret.

The town, which over two thousands people living in it, was now left with only a few hundreds people alive. The sudden appearance of monsters had got them unguarded. And this tragedy came from a foolish young man who pursued mysterious knowledge and power.

The devil had never felt great like this before. Through blood and soul sacrifices, his current body's strength was promoting rapidly, and even his devil soul was becoming stronger at every minute. It was all because he found a magic circle in the mysterious book. It was a magic circle created by the author's father and it was titled as equal exchange magic circle. So, the devil's plan changed and he decided to use the vitality, resentments, souls and death energies of the town people to get stronger power. And he succeeded. The devil couldn't wait to do promotion ceremony of his clan. That was also the reason why he was just staying in the Chapel and was not destroying everything with all of his strength. He didn't just want to see sudden accident.

His good mood was suddenly destroyed by the missing news of a good minion. These minions were important for his later plans. He closed the book and held it with left hand. As he raised his right hand and grasped it in the air. The wooden sculpture was slowly crashed by invisible energy.

The devil asked as he was crashing the wooden sculpture slowly, "Did you go and find him?"

The little brother saw the strong power of his boss Kyle. He envied his boss Kyle for the mysterious power Kyle obtained. Why wasn't it him who got that power? Why Kyle got it? However, he felt that things were not hopeless. Because Kyle gave them a promise that he would give them the same power as him after this.

For that power, he didn't hesitate to participate in destroying his hometown. He had watched his family killed by monsters. Actually, it was not only him, almost all the boys under Kyle were the same. As for the one guy called Hervin who didn't agree with them, Kyle personally solved him in front of them.

He enviously watched the power of Kyle as fine powders slipped away from Kyle's fingers.

He honestly told him, "We searched for nearly twenty minutes and finally found Ryne in the house of that Russian Ivan. But what we found was his dead body. Ryne was shot to death."

Devil ordered him, "Okay, I get it. Now, you should go back and do your job. No, call other guys and search for Ivan. Kill him and take his body back."

Little brother excitedly promised to complete the mission and walked out of the Chapel fast. Although he saw the miserable dead bodies in the Chapel, he didn't care much, because he was going to become extraordinary one like Kyle. On his face, there was only a mad smirk. Whether he really wanted the power or just his life, even he might not know clearly.

While sensing the departure of the idiot with a smirk, Devil chuckled softly, "Huh. Humans. Almost, almost Tier three. I don't know if there are gods in this place. I have to do things here fast. It is a pity. There is no record about gods in this book."

He touched his face and smiled, "Then, I will take this identity and hide among them. Nobody will know that there is actually a devil in this body. I can feel my limits. Soon, Tier three is just almost one step away."
