Two things on the prompt caught Dreu’s attention. First, Zog was level one again. Evolution changed the form of the demon worm and Zog had to begin at the bottom again. However, this level one form was already much more powerful than the level 7 demon worm during mid-evolution. While he had no numbers to back up his assumption, the young man felt confident both Chaos Flames and Barrier were superior to the lesser versions used by Zog before.
I cannot wait to see Zog in combat.
The second thing was evolution. There were question marks associated with it as though Zog could further evolve with the method being unknown. If this was indeed the case, he could only imagine how much stronger his companion could get. So far, only demon worms showed any indication of evolution. The prompt didn’t mention evolution with Ilveroz at all. His attention then turned to Aggich who looked up at him curiously.
Did I forget to check on Aggich’s information this whole time? I'm an idiot sometimes.
< Lv 3 Cursed Fox Cub (Aggich):
Description: This fox may look innocent in appearance but it is capable of casting curses to debilitate weak enemies. Cursed foxes are actually very rare in the Demon Realm due to most of their powers unlocking once they reach juvenile and adulthood. Due to this limitation, very few foxes survive long enough to reach juvenile. Prior to the juvenile stage, cursed foxes possess a limited set of weak curses so their contributions to combat are limited. Since most cursed foxes perish before reaching adulthood, there have been no recorded cases of what potential these creatures possess.
Recommendations:
-Fight with allies due to the draining impact of spells
-Avoid close combat encounters
-Reach juvenile to unlock more powers
Skill:
-Slow Curse (Lvl 1): Active. Cast to slow a weak enemy. Can be casted on multiple enemies. Drains stamina of the caster and stamina cost scales with the number of victims. Curse ends when the caster stops the spell or collapses from exhaustion.
-Curse Amplify (Lvl 1): Passive. When curse spells are casted, the spells are 1 Lvl stronger than the one known by the caster.
-Demon Curse (Lvl 1): Active. Increases the effect of the target demon’s fear aura by 10%. Can stack with other multipliers. Unlimited uses but the ability has a medium cost of mana per use.

Seeing the skills of Aggich, Dreu could see how the cursed fox was such a big contributor to the last couple of battles. Her Curse Amplify looked terrifying as a free level on any spells was a massive upgrade. The description of the Slow Curse clearly specified weak enemies so the level 2 version must be strong enough to affect medium enemies. While the first two abilities had an immediate impact on their combat capabilities, the third ability made Dreu stop and ponder. He thought back to his journey from the Xante to Gujash. The Eglallin look alike offered to teach him two of Eglallin’s spells and, after much thought, he picked the one Bayard described to him along with the other one that was compatible for him. As if sensing his thoughts, the prompt window opened.
< Emperor Class:
Description: The Emperor Class is a unique character class. The user is given the ability to summon loyal soldiers to fight for him. The quality and quantity of the soldiers depend on two major factors: the user’s level and unit class upgrades. As the emperor becomes stronger, more types of soldiers will be available to him and further specialization of soldiers are made possible. Unit class upgrades can be used to further improve the quality of the soldiers. Legends claim that a wise and strong emperor is unbeatable on the battlefield.
Unlocked Ability:
-Summon Demonic Creature (Lvl 1)
-Fear Amplify (Lvl 1)
-Curse Protection (Lvl 1) >
Dreu selected the second ability for more information.
< Fear Amplify (Lvl 1):
Description: This ability is an active ability that increases the fear effect of selected summoned units. Each level of the ability increases the multiplier applied to the fear effect. There are no limits to how many units this ability is applied to and there is no cost to using this ability. Can stack with other multipliers. >
At first glance, the ability seemed underwhelming. For summoned units available to humans, fear effect was rare. Without the right units, the ability would be useless. Yet, Dreu was in the Demon Realm which was teeming with creatures who possessed natural fear effects. If he could get some of those creatures to join his rank, he would bring terror to any battlefield. Zog, Ilveroz and Aggich lacked the terror factor so Dreu didn’t bother trying his Fear Amplify on any of them. Currently, they were helpful in their own ways and didn’t need any assistance from him. He then checked the other ability he learned.
< Curse Protection (Lvl 1):
Description: This ability is a passive ability that provides full immunity to low level curses and lessens the effect and duration of mid level curses >
“Are you coming or not?” shouted Ragellon.
I thought I had more time. Oh well, we better get going. I’m sure I can check everything once we’re be safe inside that city.
Dreu led his companions towards the demonic child. The young men learned that there were actually multiple barriers surrounding the city as opposed to the one big barrier he was initially told. The barrier surrounding the city walls was the one Ragellon referred to and it was the strongest one while the other barriers were created slightly differently. The purpose of other barriers was to filter the demonic creatures based on their threat level. The weakest demonic creatures could reach the city walls and no further while the strongest demonic creatures were kept some distance from the city. If one trained, one would proceed past a certain barrier to push one’s limits without being attacked by a demonic creature way above their weight class. Dreu would later be shown the markers that indicate where the barriers were.
“We’ll train here before we call it a day,” announced Ragellon as soon as the group reached the city gates.
