Lighting and fire essence smoldered across the humanoid Wyvern’s body. It black wings unraveled themselves from its back; the edges of the wings had sharp spikes at their ends which were quite sharp.
“Last chance boy, come with me” It snared
Within a blink of an eye Lucifer brandished his daggers will dashing, creating a wormhole he appeared behind the Wyvren. It seemed slightly surprised. However, as he prepared to puncture into the Wyvern’s back; the wings folded to form a shield, applying more force to the dagger Lucifer penetrated into the wings and almost towards the spinal cord before teleporting back to his former location.
“Your, turn” Lucifer mocked with a smile
It all happened within a flash and the Wyvren was startled at Lucifer strength, its cautiousness grew. It abruptly released more of its mana and essence. Orbs of fire and lighting rose from the ground, creating a minefield in the air around the Wyvren. Its right hand went aflame while the other crackled with lighting.
The orbs shot towards Lucifer, but he didn`t dodge planning to check their damage output. They bore holes into his body from the neck below. The Wyvren thinking he had won laughed out loud with a gleeful expression
“Boy, you really are stupid” it sneered with a grin
“You are really weak” Lucifer responded while the holes patched up in an instant. The Wyvren gasped with wide eyes, it slightly trembled, Lucifer extended his hand creating a miniature pitch black sphere in front.
“Shred”
Within a second the Wyvren was chopped into pieces from translucent blades released from the pitch black sphere. It has to be known that this is a downgraded version of Tetra`s dimensional splitter. Reaching towards the chunks of the Wyvren meat, Lucifer extended his hands absorbing the flesh turned particles into his body, which slowly integrated into the black ooze in his blood stream.
His Cannibalistic absorption ability had evolved, he no longer had to bite into his victims, he could just convert them into particles and intake them. As he absorbed the Wyvren he gained the ability to extended razor sharp spike from his hands and his body strengthened a tiny bit.
Again bursting into sonic speed, he dashed across the green expanse. He could sense similar mana signatures to the Wyvren rushing after him.
Halting he planned to dispatch all the nuisances.
This time, two Wyverns hovered in the air, releasing their killing intent. They too turned into humanoids, their slits dilated and mana radiated from their bodies.
“Scram” Lucifer severely spoke
Sharp spikes protruded from their hands as they tried to assault Lucifer with their fists. Chaotic essence gathered onto Lucifer palms, grasping onto the oncoming fists, he passed the chaotic essence into their minds.
“Corrupt” he spoke out loud
The black ooze duplicated from his body passing into its new hosts, It spread into their bodies infecting their brains and seizing control of it.
“Both of you kill yourselves” Lucifer ordered
Following his orders the Wyverns plunged their spiked hands into their chest cavity and stabbing into their hearts; killing themselves on the spot. Absorbing their corpses he headed towards the nearby port after checking that no more experts were following him. He had already judged their ranks before assaulting them. All three of the Wyvern’s were at Justicar Rank one stage below him.
Lucifer further assumed that some high class clan was tracking him, if they send individuals with these ranks. Cloaking himself with a grey robe, he continued towards his destination. The forest Landscape changed into a sandy desert as he got closer to his destination. Encountering several core beasts along the way, he absorbed them to replenish himself.
Meanwhile in the Dragon Continent, an armored guard headed into the throne room.
“Master, our three informants are dead in the elven continent” the armored guards spoke gloomily
“Send a group of our Alpha rank experts” The Emperion Dragon sitting on his throne commanded. The armored guard bowing turned around and left the room. After the Guard left, the Emperion Dragon sighed heavily, a war had erupted within the clans; 4 years back and his clan’s supply of experts had rapidly dwindled; now this new threat was sluggishly eating at his mind. The Emperion dragon also guessed the two old bastards from the Black Lotus clan had felt that sinister aura and dispatched their own search party.

While resting Lucifer glanced at the damaged ring on his left hand, the one given by Brigitte, cracks were riddled upon it and he had no method to patch it up. He sighed softly, creating a small cave within the sandy hills he rested for a while. Entering into his mind palace he used his knowledge to graft new skills and abilities.
Swarming through the knowledge he identified; that he had to collect essence minerals which were generated in Rank 5 dungeons or above. Essence minerals were formed completely out of a specific essence and would gave a significant boost to one`s attribute. He also learned about artifacts as he skimmed through his notes and mentally decided to find some.
Getting out of the cave, his cloak fluttered in the dusty wind obscuring his sight; using wind essence he produced a vacuum around him dispatching the dust.
Crossing the sandy region was a boring task, as he regularly encountered poisonous beasts hidden beneath the sand. After several days; he reached towards Be`cout City. Houses made out of brown stone lined up against each other, items were displayed on the pavement by merchants beckoning their customers to check their goods.
He rushed towards the port, however, the docks were empty no ships had harbored. Heading towards a low-budget tavern he paid a room for a night. Entering his room, he tried to procure a skill that would help him soar towards his destination as it would be far more efficient.
By dawn he had almost visualized the components of the skill, exiting his room. He headed towards the market, along the way he came upon a slave market. Female sirens, humans, succubus’s were displayed on a wooden stand, mostly male customers were present as they auctioned these slaves. The purchasers all had grins covering on their faces as their lustful gazes swept across the displayed girls.
Standing on the sides, he watched the auction; some girls were already bought off by spoiled young brats or fat nobles. The final female slaves that were auctioned was a beautiful siren with white wings sprouting from her back and a mermaid who was not one bit less beautiful than the siren, the mermaids blue hair, sparkled under the sunlight but her complexion was pale.
As Lucifer scanned them, Tetra`s voice resounded
“Get those two!”
All around him the buyers screamed their bids; gold coins were thrown onto the stands. Many buyers backed out against the top three who kept on raising the price to preposterous amounts. As the final price was said by one of the top buyers, Lucifer threw a pile of platinum coins which
he had collected from the Wyverns.
The crowd went silent as the turned to look at the cloaked man who threw the pile of coins. The top three buyers glared at Lucifer angrily. As he went upon on stage, he was handed the siren`s and mermaid`s contract which he could use to permanently bind them to him.
Both the girls shivered as they looked at his cloak, he gave off a mysterious aura. As he imprinted the contract with a drop of his blood, a golden light shrouded the girls and him while an engraving appeared on their hands marking them as his property. This time Lucifer headed towards a high class tavern booking a large suite for them.
Directing them to the room, he gestured them to wait here. He had noticed that the top buyers had sent a few experts after him. Lucifer weaved into an alley which the God ranked experts followed him into, waiting quietly in the shadows as they approached him.
As they prepared to attack with their fists he sent a surge of chaotic essence into their minds.
“Corrupt”
The black ooze integrated into their bodies hijacking it.
“Kill the people who ordered you to attack me” Lucifer commanded and the experts headed out of the alley. Heading back into the suite he found the girls huddled up in a corner, trembling in fear. He wondered why Tetra had told him to buy them. Heaving out a sigh he beckoned them to sit on the bed, while he went into the washroom to clean himself.
