Chapter 48 - The trial part 2

As the Demon King says those words, he waves his hands towards the massive door that leads to this room. Knowing what he wanted, all of us soon left his throne room.

As we left the throne room I could feel several people staring at me. When I turned to look who was staring at me I could see the sins looking at me with faces that said many things. I look back at them for a bit before walking out of the hallway with the Hydra, who was holding Green in its hand but wasn't absorbing the demonic magic no more, and yellow.

As we left the castle yellow asked me a question that I have not thought about "so where are we staying?" I stop walking for a bit, seeing me stop yellow asked the question once again "you do have a house or something in this world right?" I look at yellow as I realize that I have no where to live at in the demon world. I look at her before saying "We can camp outside the Demon city."

The Demon King's castle is surrounded by a city full of different types of demons with their own outlook on the world. Some see the world as nothing but a place that requires blood to be spilled, while others view the world as a place where their desires can be met.

Yellow looks at me dumbfounded "aren't you a sin, don't you have a house in this world!"

"Just because I'm a sin doesn't mean I have a house or anything like that" I say back.

We to have a argument about how it was unfair that I was a sin and yet I don't have a place toq stay at. We continue this argument until we enter the city.

When we entered the city I heard a bunch of loud noises and when I looked I could see several people with different body shapes on the ground kneeling. Me and yellow were confused at this site. "Uh what's going on" yellow said confused at the amount of people who were kneeling on the floor.

"I have no clue" I said as I look at the people. Soon someone shouted "Sin I challenge you to a duel for the right to become a sin" I turn in the direction of the voice and could soon see a creature that was a head floating on a pillar that had many ruins on it.

"Oh is it because I'm a sin that people are kneeling on the floor" I said as I look at the crowd of people that were kneeling.

"Hey, I challenged you so are we going to fight or are you going to be a chicken and run away" said the bodyless Demon. "Oh right you challenged me, one question, why did you challenge me?"

The bodyless Demon looks at me before making a shocked face followed by a smirk, "you wouldn't happen to be a newly made sin would you?"

"I guess you can say that" I said while looking at his face. "Since you are a newly made sin allow me to explain. You see I am challenging you for your title as a sin, and if I win the fight I get to become the sin that you were."

"Oh so you can become a sin just by challenging another sin, I thought you had to be appointed as a sin by the King" I said to myself.

I look back at the bodyless demon "Ok I accept the challenge, but quick question when does the fight start and is it a battle to the death?"

The demon looks at me "it begins once you accept the challenge and it is a battle to the de-" before he finished his sentence a several roots shot out of the ground and stabbed the pillar that he was on followed by a giant see through mouth appearing from underneath him.

"W-what" before he could comprehend what just happened the giant see through mouth closed on him and soon the life in his eyes dissapeared.

[The host has gained 237 souls]

The floating pillar crashes into the hard floor and the head that appeared stuck on the pillar soon rolled off when the pillar hit the ground.

The nearby people were shocked at the site of a demon being killed before he could fight back. "Welp with that done, should we continue" I said while looking back at yellow who didn't say a thing for a while. "Uh sure" she said ten seconds later, fully comprehending what just happened.

As we continued marching through the city several people challenged me and I quickly dealt with them either by using the Hydra to fight them or just by striking them with roots.

Along the way I could see several people looking at me with fear in their eyes and some with anger. "There are perks with being a sin, but there are some annoying down sides to it" I say to myself as I get changed by another demon that looked like a man wearing animal clothing and had one eye on its face.

I was about to use my roots to kill this challenger just like the rest, but stop when I remembered I had a skill called [Demonic Petals].

"I wonder" I say as I bring out a long thin root from my body. I soon use mana on it and several pink petals come put forming a sycle like blade on one end of the root. I then activate the skill [Demonic Petals] and soon obvious changes occurred at the blade of the weapon.

One of the changes was that the Root began turning black with purple streaks coming down it. The other was that the once pink petals that formwd the blade was turning into a mixture of pink and purple Petals.

[The skill Weapon creation has risen to level 2]

"Oh that raised a level in [weapon creation]" I said as I look at the scythe in my hand.

I soon slashed the weapon at the Demon who challenged me. The demon, seeing my attack, dodged the attack only getting a single cut pm his chest.

"Hah was that your attack" the Demon said, but before he could gloat more he felt pain in his chest. As he looked down he could see purple streaks being made into his skin and within these purple streaks he could see something small.

"Are these seeds?!" The more the purple streak spread through his body the more these "seeds" began forming into these streaks. soon his entire body was covered in these purple streaks and in a instant all the seeds began to bloom.

When the seeds bloomed, the flowers they formed had a petals that were dark purple and the veins on these petals had a purple glow to them.

As the people looked at this scene several of them noticed the demon not making a noise and when they looked at the demons face they could see roots and flowers covering his face. And not only his face, but his entire body were also covered in roots.

[The host has killed Demonic Cyclops]

[The host has gained 24 exp]

"Hmm it seems that I'm not getting that much exp out of these demons no more" I said as put the scythe back into my root body and continued walking with the Hydra and yellow.

Minutes after my departure one demon came back with a knife in hand and began cutting the roots that the Demon was surrounded in. As he kept cutting the roots, he noticed that it appeared as if the Demon was covered in more roots than he thought.

The demon kept cutting until he felt his hand pass through something. Thinking he might have cut into the demons stomach the Demon pulled his arm back and looked at the hole he made. When the Demon looked at what he thought was going to be organs in his view, he could see a building.

He was at first confused, but then freaked out and backed away from the body. As he looked more at the hole and the building on the otherside the more he could only think of one sentence in his head.

"This man was turned into flowers" he finally said as he could see no organs in this whole he made but a endless amount of roots that appeared to have replaced the man flesh and bones.

When we reached the outskirts of the city we looked around and boy must I say it was depressing out here. The trees were all destroyed, there were big piles of rocks that were the size of houses, and there were a bunch of skeletons out here.

"Well, we work with what we got" yellow said as she began to slither ahead of me. I soon follow behind her. We soon stop infront of a cave that had several skeletons outside it. Upon entering the cave we could see a skeletal remain of what appeared to be a demon that had multiple arms that had blades trapped within them.

"Do you think that this was the previous owner of the cave" yellow said. "Most likely as there are no other creatures nearby" I say in response.

I plant several flowers outside the cave and yellow moves all the skeletons that were inside the cave outside of it.

"Ok all that's left is green" yellow says as we look at green that was in the hands of the Hydra. I soon create five alphas and made them surround the Hydra. The Hydra soon opened its hand and green fell onto the hard, cold, rocky floor.

Before he could do anything the Alphas shot several of their roots at green and began to wrap these roots around greens arm, leg, and neck.

Greaagh*

Green soon began to screech wildly and began to activate several skills to try to break himself free. As he struggled, I could see more and more Demonic magic entering his body at a rapid pace. As I looked closer at the Demonic magic I could see two orbs of magic in his chest. One was a pure white color, while the other was a crimson color.

"Is this his mana" I say as I pay more attention to the pure white orb then the crimson orb as I could already guess what it is.

"System what is that white orb!"

[That is a warriors mana supply. Due to you and your fellow warriors being chosen by a world master, the world master decided to give you each a mana that was different from the rest of the life forms in this world. This mana is known as pure mana]

Before I could respond to what the system said I heard a high pitch screech coming from green. When I looked at green I could see cracks forming on his carapace. Soon bits of his carapace began to fall off at a rapid pace. When all of his carapace fell off, instead of a fleshy look that me and yellow expected. What instead showed up was a crimson carapace that had streaks of gold and white on its body.

As I look through his stat window and land on his stats I could only be surprised by it. "Wasn't his magic stat at one hundred before his evolution and wasn't it supposed to reset to his evolved species basic stats. So is his species basic magic strength three hundred!"

Before I could freak out on how unfair this was I could hear green making noises "Ugh what happened, where am I ... Why am I tied up by five creatures!!"
