"Drip, drip..."
In the quiet rhythm of the dripping sound, a dark red liquid flowed down the sharp edge of the dagger, slowly dripping to the ground and forming a small pool of blood.
Fang Li held the bloodied dagger as if completely oblivious to the chunks of flesh and sea of blood surrounding him, continuing to stride forward.
Observing this chilling scene, Rem and Ram couldn't help but shudder, feeling a mix of emotions.
— "The Murdering Demon Strolling Amidst the Hell of Blood and Flesh" —
At this moment, the impression that appeared in the minds of the twin sisters was just a simple sentence to fully describe.
However, this sentence possessed a power strong enough to shake anyone's heart.
But amidst the fear, there was an unexpected sensation brewing within Rem and Ram.
Yet, it wasn't fear.
Watching this scene, what rose within Rem and Ram was surprisingly a sense of joy.
"Demon..."
Yes.
Demon.
Rem and Ram were Demons.
And Fang Li, likewise, was a Demon.
However, Fang Li was a Murdering Demon who could casually stroll amidst the sea of blood.
The extremely bloody and brutal scene smoothly aroused the instincts within Rem and Ram's bodies.
Instincts belonging to Demons.
Originally, Oni were a clan that advocated power and harbored cruelty within their hearts.
No matter what kind of Demon, within their bodies, they all possessed a bloodthirsty and cruel side.
And this side was manifested in the frenzy and unclear consciousness when their horns were triggered.
Now, Fang Li's bloody slaughter scene was slowly awakening the instincts within Rem and Ram's bodies.
Especially Rem, who still retained the cruel side of the Oni within her, was deeply affected.
"Ugh...!"
The next moment, Rem emitted a low groan, somewhat resembling a howl, and light began to emanate from her forehead.
"Hum..."
The air trembled slightly as the surrounding mana began to converge towards Rem's glowing forehead.
Then, a horn began to grow out of Rem's forehead like light, slowly absorbing the surrounding magic power.
All of that magic power was absorbed into Rem's body, strengthening her power.
"Rem!"
Ram finally woke up from the gradually awakened instincts within her body and looked at Rem, whose horn was gradually being triggered, her complexion changing involuntarily.
Meanwhile, Fang Li's footsteps also came to a halt ahead, as he turned around and looked at Rem.
In his eyes, a pair of ice-blue Mystic Eyes gleamed with a daunting light.
"————!"
Locked in the gaze of those ice-blue Mystic Eyes, Rem couldn't help but shiver.
Demons with triggered horns would obey their instincts.
And under the impetus of instinct, no matter what form of life, anyone could intuitively experience the most fundamental law of this world.
That's the law of the jungle.
When prey spotted a predator, it fled.
When a predator sighted prey, it pursued.
Who was the hunter?
Who was the hunted?
A life that obeys instinct will perfectly distinguish these individuals.
Because that's just the instinct of life.
Towards the Hunter, the weak have no ability to resist; they can only submit or flee.
Towards the Hunted, the powerful will relentlessly take what they want. Either devour or dominate.
Therefore, weak Demons will show absolute submission to powerful Demons.
At that moment, Rem's instinct clearly told her.
The Murdering Demon before her was stronger.
So, she must submit to it.
As a result, the instinctive submission that was triggered made Rem finally regain consciousness.
"Clang..."
In the faint glow, the horn of light retracted back into Rem's body, disappearing above her forehead.
"Hoo..."
Rem then took a breath, her body swaying slightly, nearly falling.
Seeing this, Ram quickly supported Rem.
Meanwhile, Fang Li dispelled the manifestation of his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and looked at Rem, asking, "Are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine..." Rem's breath became somewhat hurried.
"Don't push yourself." Ram scolded slightly, "You've already expended a lot of stamina due to the curse, and now you almost triggered your horn. Your body won't be able to take it."
After all, while the Oni's horns could absorb surrounding magic power to strengthen themselves, they also had the drawback of causing the mind to become cruel and burden the body.
Rem had already lost a lot of stamina, and if she triggered her horn again, she might collapse.
"If you feel like you can't hold on, then let Ram take you back to the village." Fang Li suggested, "I can handle it alone."
This was something Rem and Ram had already realized.
It had to be said that Fang Li now was no longer the novice who had just entered the Main God's Dimension.
With the increasing proficiency of his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, coupled with the complete mastery of the Nanaya Assassination Technique, Fang Li's fighting style had completely taken shape, and he is unafraid even when facing Third-Rank opponents.
Furthermore, after undergoing systematic training under Fan Xinglou, Fang Li had mastered the essence of the Assassination Technique completely and had begun to develop techniques based on the Nanaya Assassination Technique.
If Tohno Shiki could almost be invincible in his own world with the ability of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and the basic self-defense techniques of the Nanaya Assassination Technique, why couldn't Fang Li?
As long as he didn't encounter absolutely unbeatable existences like Reinhard, Fang Li had at least a chance of success against anyone in this world.
His reason for bringing Rem and Ram here was only to let them guide the way and incidentally understand the situation.
Even if the two weren't here, Fang Li would at most take some time to figure things out, and there wouldn't be any danger.
Understanding this, Rem stubbornly shook her head.
"No, please let Rem continue to accompany you."
With these words, Rem rose from Ram's arms, seeming to have regained some stamina.
Seeing Rem like this, Fang Li and Ram exchanged a glance, and then both nodded.
Next, the three continued to delve deeper into the forest.
Along the way, Fang Li efficiently dealt with every demon beast by himself.
Meanwhile, Rem and Ram were responsible for finding targets.
Both of them being Oni, their sense of smell was sharp, and once someone's aura was nearby, they would definitely detect it.
Not to mention Rem, even Ram was famous for her special ability called Clairvoyance.
It was a technique that allowed the caster to share vision with a creature whose wavelength matched theirs, continuously transmitting vision, and thereby observing distant places.
With this technique, coupled with Rem's sense of smell, the two were indeed playing their roles, guiding Fang Li deeper into the forest.
Until a certain moment...
"Hmm?"
Ram, who was using Clairvoyance, suddenly opened her eyes.
