Corrupting blood, blood that transforms others into demon-like creatures according to the user's wish. Those that are willing will be subject to more potent changes while unwilling targets have the chance to resist the effects. Rank number 193, The Corrupter finally realized that he was messing with the wrong target.

The mutants that he sent out to the opposing territories were meant to weaken their forces and yet not a single loss came from the south. The Corrupter saw himself as a powerful entity, after all he did conquer the smaller towns in his surrounding region all on his own. Be it the occasional invader or his fellow local humans, none of them were safe from his corrupting blood.

Forcing subservience, turning others into monstrosities that only his twisted mind could dream of. He saw what he was doing as some sort of service, to ensure the survival of others. "Where would they be if I hadn't helped?"

But even the strongest dogs shouldn't have the courage to poke a bear. In the grand scheme of things, the strongest units he had were only at the Silver-grade. While they were plentiful, he was still far too overconfident.

What he made were mere imitations of demons, they had the appearance and the enhanced physical abilities but at the end of the day they were just that. Pale copies made by someone who has barely interacted with actual demons in his life. At the sight of a real demon one that came from the abyss, not a single one of his creations could even compare.

Balls of fire rained down upon them, A sea of flames engulfed certain regions. Parts of the land were charred and buildings were burned to the ground.

Gitax, the red-skinned demon who usually wore a suit was now in his full demonic form. Black Armor, with wings that were now covered in flames. His eyes and horns were glowing in the same shade as the flames that engulfed the foreign territory. Travis and his guests were watching and a smile perked up from the demon's master.

"Gitax, you're doing great. Keep it up!" At the words of his master, Gitax felt empowered.

The Corrupter could only watch as his troops were decimated, unable to react to the carnage. He thought of escaping but just as he did so, his torso was consumed by flames. A hole separated his arm from his body and the wound was seared shut by the very flames that caused the damage. He shrieked in pain and soon enough the flame-winged demon grabbed him by the throat.

The corrupter was what many would call a Nepo baby. Son of a politician and an actress, He enjoyed his benefits and grew to be a failed restaurant owner. Someone who grew up without a care in the world for others. He thought that the world was his oyster but alas he was far too weak. A frog stuck in a well, a big fish in a small pond that was finally seeing the great lake beyond.

At the hands of a demon, he could only whimper. The heat from the palm of Gitax was like hot metal that was subjected to flames. The type that can melt through skin.

"I SURRENDER! PLEASE!"

"I SURRENDER! NO MORE!"

"AHH!"

[Merit points have been awarded, Your Summon has slain a High Ranker.]

"General Gitax, I have located most of his remaining troops. I will be sending you their coordinates now." Noah spoke through the communicator right before cutting the live feed in the Strengthening tower.

"Ahh good show, Gitax has become one of my favorites these days." Travis yawned, it's been a few hours since his discussions with the Empress started.

"Moving on, I'd like to say that allying with you in a partnership does sound lovely. But the offer of turning all of my servants into vampires seems a bit wrong. Since this will give you control over most of my military." Travis rejected her first proposal, he wanted full control over his units. They were all under his contract and sharing control with someone that he just met was far too stupid of an idea.

"I am disappointed but I understand your worries, then how about we do something else. I remember that you mentioned something about renting out your soldiers?" Gen served her some champagne and a charcuterie board filled with the best cheese that she could find in the Trade Tab. It was food that was fit for someone who was a self-proclaimed royal.

"Ahh yes, while it seems that you may already have a large army behind you. I can offer the servitude of some of my Silver or Gold-grades for a price that we can agree on." Travis then pointed to the demon behind him, Deltrax was an intimidating figure that not even the stronger vampires that follow the Empress could rival. "While Deltrax is the laziest of the bunch, I can say that he's a good bodyguard. There's also Gitax, you've seen what he can do. The Sea Serpent that defends this region is a huge no and my Necromancer is currently off gathering points for me."

"An evolved demon who reached the top through living for over a few hundred years or this Pure Blooded Noble that tends to laze around." The Vampire has read multiple books regarding demons, hearing about Travis and his demonic servants was the very reason for her visit in the first place. "As you can sense from my floating castle, I have quite a few Gold-grades under my control. The need for a guard... but my main reason for this visit is to continue my research on demons."

"I see, then it's perfect. If you have anything of value to trade then I can lend Gitax to you!" Travis was happy to lend Gitax, if it meant gaining more pills for the rest of his recruits.

"Well then, what sorts of payment do you accept? I have access to both Credits and Imperial Coins but I'm sure that you are looking for something else. Martial Books perhaps? Maybe even some Internal Energy Pills or some mana stones?" The Empress took out a whole chest from her magical pouch, ready to trade for a contract. She was far too giddy to rent out a new toy and Travis was simply happy to have found his next customer.
