The arrows made from pure darkness were really sharp, under Damien's control they not only morphed into arrows but one of them became a four sharp-edged claw causing the core of the beast that was attacking him to be separated from his body with ease. Once the core of the non-humanoid creature was taken out of its body, it was like a mechanical robot without any battery, it stopped moving in an instant and then dropped on the floor with a loud thump.
[ Level 1 core acquired, the core strength has reached to level 2, you will get stamina + 1 ]
[ You have acquired the skills of the blood shire beast, level one]
" This is so cool!" Damien's eyes widened as he looked at the arrows and claws that melted right into the shadows as if they were never there, he looked at the beast that has fallen on the floor and then stared at the big gaping hole as if he did not see this happen in front of him then he would have surely thought that he was dreaming.
Lynch looked at the core that was lying on the floor and then urged Damien, " Hurry master pick up the core and eat it. If you leave it on the floor for a long time then its soul power will weaken and then you will not be able to gain any strength from it, from the next time make sure that you eat the core without waiting for it to be left out. If this goes on then you will surely lose a lot of soul power."
" What?" Damien who was sort of lost in the new power that he received today was shocked when he heard Lynch ask him to eat the core that was lying on the floor. " What do you want me to do?"
" Eat the core," Lynch answered calmly as he pointed to the blood-covered core that was on the floor, even though the core did not look like a heart but it was no different from it. It was like a small ball of pulsating flesh, even though it has been removed from the body of the non-humanoid, it was still beating and pumping like a human heart. " But I did not have to eat the core of that demonic beast!"
" That's because it is a demonic beast, you can acquire the core of the demonic beast without eating it given that its core is made of elements that are easily sucked in but the same could not be said for demons, if you kill a demonic creature or anything closely related to it you will have to eat their core to acquire their strength because you fall in the same category as them. Now hurry and pick it up!"
Damien looked sick at the thought of eating the core of the demonic creature but he knew that he had to do it because if he did not do it then he would lose the opportunity of getting stronger which was why even though he was feeling sick, he bullied his body to walk closer to the pulsating core and then closed his eyes before he popped the small tumour sized core in his mouth and swallowed it.
As he swallowed the core, he realised that his body started to adjust to the hot temperature of the demonic world, just a second ago he was feeling like he was going to become a charred piece of meat but now his body though still feeling a bit hot no longer felt as if he was going to faint because of the heat.
[ Demon transformation: 1%]
" Congratulations master you are a step closer to becoming a demon," Lynch told Damien who was still looking slightly nauseated.
" Yeah, yeah …just tell me where I need to go now, I need to get out of here before something else happens," he did feel comfortable now that he was a step closer to becoming a demon, the more he was close to becoming a demon the closer he was to get out of this place.
He quickly took the water bottle that he brought with him out of the backpack and swallowed the water down in one gulp. " Really…" he shook his head with an annoyed expression. " I truly have the worst luck in this world."
The more he thought about how he had to eat more cores of these demonic creatures to become a demon like the others the more Damien felt like he was going to be sick.
Seeing him frown Lynch immediately puckered his lips as he flickered his wings and then said in a small voice, " Don't worry master, the more you eat the cores of these demonic beasts the more you will get used to it. You will no longer feel sick as you are feeling right now, it's all because you are human and cannot stomach these cores but the other demons can eat them with ease."
" They eat these as well?" Damien was shocked when he heard that the other demon ate the demonic core as well, why would they need to do that?
" Yes they do, those demons who are sick and not born with a powerful body will eat these cores as well but it seems that you are really compatible with the demon world, sometimes the other demons who eat these cores will get killed in one way or another because they could not stomach these cores but you ate it without getting exploded! Even if they did not die they will lose a limb or two." Lynch praised Damien whose eyes widened and then he looked at the small demon who was telling this to him now that he has eaten the core.
" You….you couldn't have told me this before I ate that thing?" Damien gulped as he looked at his four limbs, if he was not lucky then today he would have lost a limb or two as well!
