Chapter 37 - Chapter 36

The black envy energy were absorbed by the old man's soul. The old man's soul was like the color of his grimoire, it was white but it does not give off a clean or holy feeling that white color gives

Instead, it was blank white, like a piece of newly made paper

However, when the soul absorbed the envy energy, from its previously blank white color some tinge of black energy appeared on it

The soul black and white color intertwined and created a messy mixture of black and white patches

The black part of the soul was the same color as Sun's soul but its intensity level was below than Sun

Sun looked at the seemingly dead body of the old man, his face showed devastation, anger and regret

He regretted coming in this city with the Gerry alone. If only he had some patience and waited for their army the old man won't have this end

Even if his envy energy can help the old man he was almost sure that his reserves of it was not sufficient. Sun only use his envy energy on opponents with the same cultivation base as him as the quantity was just too low and add to the fact that he used some on his fight the amount was only meager

Zap!!

The sound of thunder resounded on the whole city before the sky and clouds turned gray. Shortly after, rain started pouring accompanied by some gentle melancholic wind

It was as if the sky reflected Sun's mood while the world itself was comforting him

"Please....live" Sun poured out all of his envy energy towards the old man's body, even when all of his energy reserves run out his will didn't falter

Unfortunately, even with sheer determination something just cannot be done

No matter how strong your will is if you don't have energy then how will you use it to heal someone?

"PLEASE!! ANYTHING!! JUST LIVE!!" Sun roared on the sky

His whole body was now drenched with rain water. On his face the rain water and tears mixed with each other and his eyes redden but his will didn't give up and tried pouring more envy energy on the old man's body

Another thunderous sound resounded but this time it was accompanied by a gold colored lightning carrying itself an indescribable presence that will make living creatures kneel as if some sort of high being descended down

The lightning strucked Sun's body and was absorbed by him however, instead of harming him Sun felt that when his body absorbed the lightning it burrowed into his 'sea of consciousness' and went towards his soul. The lightning didn't actually attacked his soul but it seems that it destroyed some thing around his soul

It was as if the lightning destroyed some kind of camouflage mechanism and revealed a multilayer seal on his soul

When Sun saw the purple seal he felt as if it was some sort of ancient and godly seal that some sort of god like being put on him

The remaining golden lightning destroyed one of the seal's layer. When the seal was destroyed a booming sound resounded on Sun's head as if some sort of big barrier on his mind was destroyed

Sun's felt as if his 'consciousness' was dragged and traveled downwards, it pierced towards the earth's crust and mantle

His 'consciousness' continued travelling down and when it reached the place between the earth's core and mantle Sun saw some glowing balls of light

The balls varied in color, some are blue, red, white, yellow, brown etc with different shades! But for sure these ball of energy are not your normal energy ball that supernaturals can make. Sun felt the densest amount of energy in those ball. The energy inside the balls gave him goosebumps as the amount was really just too shocking

Even all of Sun's whole energy times a hundred was not enough to have the same energy as even the smallest part of the ball. It was not just amount of energy that schocked Sun what made him shock the most was its purity!

It was so pure that he felt that if his energy made a contact with the balls's energy it will just contaminate those balls! For him, it was even a blasphemy to compare the Supernatural's energy on these balls

Sun's 'consciousness' stopped on a certain black ball that gave off a familiar feeling to him. His mind enter the ball and he was immediately assaulted by the intense amount of pure energy inside the ball

It looks as if the sea was inside that ball but the sea was not made up of water but instead pure envy energy!

Yes, this black ball was made from envy energy and its purity has no comparison!

If you compare Sun's envy energy towards this sea of energy it was like you are comparing the value of a dog poop and the value of a whole planet!!

The difference is that big!

Others would become suffocated and die if they are in the same situation as Sun but for some reason he didn't

Instinctively, Sun tried to willed his mind to absorb some energy from this ball and let the old man's body to absorb it.

Sun was only able to get a billionth of a drop when a tremendous pain assaulted his mind

Unfortunately, even though these energy was already besides him his body cannot take it

He used his consciousness and controlled the billionth of a drop worth's envy energy to travel and let his body absorb

When the pure energy entered Sun's body it went towards the word "Envy" on his forehead and it glowed with black color

Some crack like black lines appeared around the envy word on his forehead and it covered 3/4ths of his forehead

Sun opened his eyes and felt the strength that the droplet of energy gave to his body through the glowing envy word on his forehead and the lines around him

Sun discovered that the energy lose purity and it was gradually leaking out from his body and soon it will run out. Although its purity was way higher than his own it was too far from the original purity

The energy was just too dense and pure that his body cannot handle it, the only reason why he can absorb and use it was due to the envy word on his forehead

Discovering this, Sun didn't waste any more time and tried using the energy to heal the old man

More envy energy were poured towards the old man's body and was absorbed by his soul

More black patches appeared around the old man's body and soon the black patches balanced with the white part of the soul

Now, the old scientist's soul color was the combination of intertwined black and white color occupying 50% each

*ding congratulations to Host for successfully making an 'Envy Devil Servant'*

*ding Envy Devil Servant: A loyal devil servant that can only be made by an Envy Demon. The servant gained the ability to use and absorb envy energy albeit their proficiency was lower than the Envy Demon. While the envy energy's purity will never reach the Envy Demon's purity and can only be up to 50%*

The Voice of The World that Sun didn't hear for such a long time resounded on his mind when he looked towards the old man he saw how his body changed from its normal

His hair and nails and lips become black in color while on his back a pair of pitch black wings slowly grew. His demonic appearance was the same as Sun's the only difference is the intensity of the color black

Sun's color has a deeper and darker shade of black

On both of the old man's wrist he saw a forming chain tattoo

When the old man's transformation finished he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Sun with some confusion

At this time Sun felt some sort of connection towards the old man as if he can control his life and death and always know where the older man is

The old man also felt this, it was like he was looking at his master than can decide whether he will live or die

"What happened?" The old man looked at his surrounding and saw that they were still in the fallen city but instead of feeling weak because of the loss of too much life force he felt strength that he didn't have before on his body

His gaze landed on his arm and on his black nails he somehow felt that these are familiar

He also felt a foreign feeling on his back as if his body gained a new orgain, when he saw the black wings similar to Sun's his jaw landed on the ground

"I'll explain it" Sun sighed, although he wanted to save the old man he didn't want him to be his slave, it might even hate him for this

------

Back to the time when Sun was still pouring out his energy to Derry's body

The three meter fallen saw all the scenes of Sun fighting with a group of his flying fallens

"Hmm, so humans have people this powerful"

The fallen was in a deep thought, clearly its intelligence was on par with humans unlike the normal fallens even those in Knight Rank!

"I personally controlled the strongest flying fallens I have but that Fire Mage still killed all of them. How infuriating and humiliating"

The three meter fallen gritted its teeth and grab an ordinary fallen on its neck

The fallen didn't react and just let him do what he wants

Crack

The tall fallen broke the normal fallen's neck

"All of you are useless weaklings!!" The tall fallen roared and throwed the fallen

"I will not tolerate this humiliation!" Using his mind the tall fallen gave an order towards another mid-stage Knight Rank Fallen to kill Sun

Too bad at this time a golden lightning descended from the sky and was absorbed by Sun

The tall fallen felt the majesty and power from that golden lightning and fell on the ground. Surprisingly the other fallens didn't fell on the ground and acted as if nothing happened

This was not surprising at all as these fallen doesn't have much intellect and that lightning was not just powerful

Even all the supernaturals on earth cannot feel the majesty of that ligtning, only a few creatures on earth can sense it as that lightning was not just a normal powerful lightning!

That was the lightning that came from the 'heavens' itself! Only those at the Rank 4 and above can sense this

When the tall fallen saw that the lightning entered Sun's body he was delighted and laugh coldy, it thought of what that mortal did to anger the 'heavens'

However, when he saw that Sun didn't die from the lightning he immediately felt jealous

The tall fallen reached the Rank 4 Supernaturals thanks to the gray colored core that entered its body, the core also came with some instruction and knowledge that the humans doesn't know

The instruction only said to make strong fallens and attack the human cities when he already gained enough strenght

The knowledge contained the basic knowledge about how he can make fallens and make them stronger

Aside from the thing that he gained from the gray core when he reached the Rank 4 he started barely sensing this "heavens" albeit it was so vague and all he knows that it was some kind of powerful entity that knows everything on this world and whoever was favored by it will benefit greatly

That lighning came from the "heavens" and since it didn't killed Sun it might given something to Sun

The fallen started feeling afraid, if that man survive he will surely bore some hatred towards all the fallens on this city and destroy it when he gained enough strenght

Realizing this he wants to seize the chance that Sun was still heavily injured and exhausted to kill him

He controlled all the mid-stage Knight allens that he have to go and kill Sun but at this time on the sky the gray clouds formed a menacing eye that looked towards the tall fallen

When the fallen sensed this it immediately trembled and spat out gray colored blood, just a stare from that eye was enough to give him a heavy injury

This was a warning from the "heavens"

The tall fallen gritted his teeth and stopped his subordinates. He knows that this will endanger his life but it doesn't have any choice

On the earth's atmosphere, as usual Rafaela was still refining some void energy and pouring it inside of the earth

As powerful as she is she sensed the golden lightning and the eye made from the clouds

"Hmm it's really about time for 'it' to gain some wisdom" 'it' having some wisdom at this stage was not surprising for Rafaela after all what she is doing indirectly boosting 'its' growth but when she sensed one of the seal on Sun's soul was destroyed she was shocked

"S-so fast!" She exclaimed and her moist alluring red lips parted in shock

That seal was what all the Demons would give their all to destroy, destroying the seals will awaken their Innate Abilities as Demons and greatly boost their power!

"I hope he won't be that bad" Raphaela sighed, although the Demon's awakening gave Sun more power but still people at Sun's level even if you gave him a million lives it still was not enough to defeat her but she can't directly interfer much on earth's affair
