Words could not describe the pain Feng was feeling. Still, his screams could be easily defined: they were inhumane and had the feeling of a soul which was in limbo, suddenly on Feng's back an inky dark tattoo was formed, this tattoo was like the two on his arm, it gave off the feeling of being alive, the symbol's on his back moved and even came out and formed spider legs at his back, his hair flickered and changed from the natural black colour and turned shaggy and white, his eyes also changed to red, unlike the usual colour, his right arm started twitching and transform into the default form of proteus's arm, but this time as if possessed by something one of the black spider legs at his back turned smaller because part of it had split and stayed on the arm which turned to the proteus arm, once it remained on the arm for about 1 minute the sides grew jagged spikes, and it was covered in red outlines making it look ferocious.
...
At the same time at the front of the cavern, a party wearing mercenary gear stood in front of the long gigantic tail of Nebeus and conversed.
"Boss this is the tail of a real dragon species, if we sell it we'll be rich," a skinny monkey looking guy said excitedly.
Following this, the rest spoke up "No, what if we make a few potions from this we'll grow stronger, probably to the level of those bosses and those brats from the big organizations."
"Enough! Alright, let's enter and check out the body of the beast." As the boss said this, they all walked carefully toward the body of Nebeus. Just as they reached the head of Nebeus, they all saw a shirtless Feng who had spider limbs made of ink at his back.
"What's with this kid, bah never mind let's just kill him after that we'll gain all his loot and the carcass of this beast." saying this, the thin mercenary stretched out his arm. A yellow energy bow appeared in his hands if Feng were not in this state he would have recognized that this was a Heavenly origin weapon. One could quickly tell that these people were not amateur mercenaries and that they had experience and sufficient backing.
The skinny guy drew the bow into the arc, and an energy arrow appeared notched in the bow perfectly, releasing the arrow it let out the screech of a halcyon as it flew towards Feng. The shaft seemed to have merged with the air and turned into a lightning halcyon flying quick.
Just as the arrow reached his face, he disappeared from the spot. He reappeared behind the mercenaries with a fierce glint in his eyes as the spider legs at his back shot forward and stabbed the one who shot the arrow; the others saw this and swiftly leapt back, keeping their guard. Once they had come out of the shock, they noticed that he was no longer there, drawing many weapons as they looked around them but saw nothing later. Amidst the confusion the boss looked at the cavern ceilings and saw two bright red eyes peering at them, alerting the rest of the squad they charged forward yelling things like:
"You killed skinny. I won't forgive you."
"Let's send him to hell."
"If we kill him monkey will be avenged."
Following this, Feng dropped from the ceiling and floated in the air. The eerie feeling that he gave off had intensified, and as if being told a joke he had laughed eerily, before finally letting out a sigh and said with a voice that probably didn't belong to him.
"You want to send me to hell, don't worry I've gone there for a vacation so don't worry yourself much, you humans are greedy beings even more so than us celestial demons. You want me to go to hell, I'm not sure if I want to go back there since you already bought the ticket, why don't you go to hell, damn humans!!!"
Following this, he shot out a stream of nirvana flames and burnt the members of the mercenary group to death, leaving only the boss alive.
Seeing his comrades dead, the boss did nothing but laugh and say
"They were all weaklings anyway, haha."
Following this, he stretched out his arm, and a staff made of bronze appeared in his left hand, this was also a heavenly origin weapon looking at this the being in Feng's body cocked its head and said.
"Though a weapon like that is dangerous, in your hands it can only be used to bash nuts."
"Damn you," he said while entering a staff stance, leaping up and slamming down the staff, 'Feng' did nothing but stand and cross his arm, letting the pole hit him, honestly to him this felt nothing more than paper hitting his body, with this he said, "Too weak".
In reality, this was not weak, and Feng before acquiring proteus would have had to spit out blood if faced with this blood, everything about the previous Feng was inferior compared to this man, this said one thing, for Feng and Co who had been second on the public ranking book to be inferior to this man only meant one thing: This man was not of this dimension, and he had a power that equalled Asura and War-god or was just below them, either way, he was incredibly durable, but when placed before the being that possessed Feng he was nothing more than a slightly bigger ant waiting to be squashed.
As he said those two words, the spider legs at his back shot forward, impaling the man and killing him.
In the being's vision around the cavern, several blue blobs of light were floating around aimlessly, and around the body of Nebeus, a starry soul stood motionless. With a sucking sound coming from his mouth, all the blue blobs flew into his mouth. As if eating a delicious meal he licked his lips and said "not bad" and as if struck by something he added in his mind 'hmm this information will be useful to the boy, I still can't believe this boy is a son of druids, Damon you've struck a treasure.'
The being called Damon took a long glance at the location where the soul of Nebeus stood and took out a jade bottle from the ink tattoos on Fengs back and opened it, sucking the massive soul into it.
"Damn this kid, he made a great friend today, and I'll keep the carcass and the other things in my space and let him have the other junk, I'll bribe him for the carcass kekeke."
As he said this, he placed all the items in the cavern in the ink tattoos. He sighed in his heart, 'tThis boy should be the luckiest in the world if 'that guy' is still writing his stories and has not dropped it yet, that means he will have some significant plot armour and also some good stuff for me to collect bribes if I don't take advantage of the situation then I would be the stupidest demon leader to walk across the vast dimensions. Kekekeke.'
With these words said in his mind he lied down on the floor and closed his eyes, once the eyes of Feng were opened again everything about him had changed, though his hair, eyes, and arm had returned to normal he now gave off a wild aura which was unlike the reserved air he usually gave off.
He was thinking about all the events that had happened, about everything that happened even after possessed by Damon. A multitude of memories flooded into his mind.
New ancestral memories,
Memories of the mercenaries from the other dimension
And last of all, an ancient voice that said one word.
Celestial Demon Ability- Demonic Upgrade.
...
After a long ride back Feng had finally reached campus grounds, he headed to his room immediately and collapsed on his bed and thought of what his teammates might be doing right now 'those lucky bastards, especially long Hu.'
...
In a specific place eating burgers and playing online games a particular dragon sneezed and said "Who is that bastard talking behind my back, it must be that shameless asshole Feng "
Ah, the joy of youth, the time where one insults friends behind their backs.
The same moment Feng got back to the campus, in a distant place in the west an eye like swirl the size of a bean appeared in a mountain range, this swirls appeared everywhere and expanded little by little.
All these swirls around the world represented one thing, the birth of the portal to the other dimensions. Find out what will happen next time on Modern Day Asuras.
