Looking at the waste and destruction lying before her, Al'Hazrel was a bit stunned. She had never witnessed so much power being used before her before, and was taken aback by the scene.
Staring at George who was standing casually behind her, a feeling of fear and reverence in her heart grew tremendously and her eyes grew dim and distant. She seemed to have lost all hope in life.
Ever since she'd arrived here, she had never witnessed such power being unleashed by the mere mortals, mortals who were supposed to be a food source to the eternal hunger of demonic angels.
After releasing a short breath, George relaxed his stance and closed his eyes, his body radiating a soft glow as all his accumulated qi quickly retracted back into the center point of his soul.
"How much do you need to eat to be full?" George asked as he threw and apprehensive glance in Al'Hazrel's direction, his brows slightly raised and lip corners curved downwards.
"I'll eat them, all. My ability to devour and convert into qi also affected my digested system, making it nearly impossible for my hunger to be satiated." In her sweet sounding voice, Al'Hazrel explained with a downcast expression, her head bowed to avoid George's gaze and wings folded.
"All of them?" George was stunned, he was even planning to burning up all the bodies to completely wipe out the creatures from existence, and here she was planning on eating them all up. So convenient.
"Eat to your hearts content, I'll just wander away to do something else and leave you to your business."
George nodded his head and picked up the body of a Corrupted Fae and began walking away with his head hung high and his eyes glowing in a strange light.
"What are you going to do with that?" Al'Hazrel was a bit startled and quickly asked, her brows raised. She was a little hungry and needed all the food she could eat, and here he was, dragging a few off with him.
"Huh? It's none of your business." George didn't bother turning around, he kept his march forward until his back disappeared into the thick bushes.
As soon as she noticed George had left, Al'Hazrel stared down upon the bodies that were scattered around her. She was already salivating uncontrollably, but after staring for a while she shook her head and composed herself before kneeling down before a dead Corrupted Fae, her face flushed.
After staring at it greedily for a while, she opened her mouth wide and bit down with all her might. With the sound of a clear crunch, and the shattering of bones, Al'Hazrel bit down into the enemy's chest.
Stuffing her face into it's body, she began to bite and chew in primordial beastiality, she didn't even bother with her bloodied face and hands, tearing apart flesh with her teeth, chewing and swallowing down.
With her teeth strong enough to tear into diamond, she was definitely able to eat up most kinds of prey she had discovered without difficulty. This made her a very dangerous beast on the battlefield to go with her unarmed style of combat.
After completely eating through the Fae's chest, chewing down the armour along with it, Al'Hazrel finally began to eat other parts of it's body like it's torn off limbs and lower body.
——
George who had walked a fair distance away from Al'Hazrel could easily hear the sounds of her eating up the Corrupted Fae. He had only walked a fair distance away before pausing and throwing down his trophy to the ground with a loud thud.
He sighed to himself, staring down upon the lifeless carcass of the Fae before finally letting out a sigh as he reasoned what he was about to do. He was a bit skeptical though, and didn't want to rush.
"System, so by eating this. I can cultivate my arts and become stronger?"
[That Is Correct.]
"How much stronger are we talking here? A few levels? A grade?"

"I see, sigh. Never thought I'd be doing this forbidden practice again in my life." George wondered as he thought back to his deeds as a child, after thinking for a while, he shook his head solemnly and stared down upon the dead lump of meat on the ground.
Closing his his eyes, George relaxed his heart to cultivate properly. Unlike Al'Hazrel, he derived no pleasure from eating raw meat, and is only doing this for the benefits. And for maximum benefits, his heart and mind needed to be at peace - a state of nirvana where he had to attract as much benefits as possible with a focused mind.
Opening his mouth wide, and feeling no changes whatsoever in his body, he was a bit skeptical. But, his centuries worth of experience taught him that when the benefits are more than the risks, it was better to take them without hesitation.
If he had known this in the past, a lot of lives would have been saved, not falling prey to his hesitation. He bit down with all his might, and felt as if he had bitten into a dried slab of hard bread - he endured and kept eating up the creature with his brows raised.
One bites, two bites, three bites…
George had fallen gotten used to the feeling of hardness and embraced the numbness in his gums with a determined expression. He had already started and gone this far, if he gave up now, wouldn't all the time he spent earlier be wasted?
