Colin POV
*Crack*
*Crack*
*Break*
A black cocoon broke apart and it's shell fell on to the ground and dissolved into black mist. As the shards of the cocoon fell to the ground, a tall, handsome creature with large black wings, large sharp horns at the sides of his head and slightly pale skin. It's glowing red eyes looked at it's fist as it clenched and unclenched it and it could feel the raw power building in it's muscles.
'This feels different.' The creature, Colin, thought. All of his evolutions before this one has changed his body but this one did so to an even greater degree, filling his body with more power than ever before. He stood still for a few seconds as knowledge flowed into his mind and he took a few minutes to comprehend all of it.

He scanned his status with his glowing red eyes, checking for any changes and their was plenty. The first thing he noted was the change in his name or rather the addition to his name. Dunamis, according to the system it was his families name. Next he noticed the new features, [Title], [Sin] and [Family Ability].
[ Title: A name given to you by a powerful entity, the system or a group of powerful individuals.
Sin: Weakness: You have acknowledged weakness as a sin and unlike your fellow demons you do not indulge this sin. Instead you desire to break free of it.
Family Ability: This is a trait bestowed upon the entire family by their demon king. Please note that a family ability cannot be changed.]
'Interesting.' I thought as I looked at the descriptions, especially the [Sin: Weakness] feature. The system, without me even having to say it, has described my desire perfectly. Next I looked at the [????] beside both [Titles] and [Family Abilities], I could guess that it was beside [Family Abilities] because I wasn't chosen one yet but I didn't know why it was beside [Titles]. Wracking my brain for a few seconds, I decided to leave it alone for now and move on, there was more to look at after all. Next was the new trait, [Unique Trait: Symbol of Power], now this confused me a bit since it was the first time I got a new trait after evolution and there was also the fact that it said [Unique Trait] at the beginning of it's name.
[Unique Trait: Symbol of Power: You are unique even among demons. You are a former human turned Demon Noble using demon miasma and as such the system have deemed worthy of a unique trait for a unique creature.
"When you desire more power, you shall receive it."]
"Well that isn't ambiguous at all." I sighed as I read the description of my new trait. I had no idea what it meant but maybe I could ask Synthia later if she had any idea what it meant. Moving on, I finally found something common with my previous evolutions, new skills.
[Advanced Compulsion: Using this skill, you can impose your will onto any creature a tier below you. Creatures with a strong mind, a powerful will or traits that give them resistance to mind manipulation abilities may be able to resist this skill.
Demon Ritual: Demon Creation: As a Demon noble, you can create other demons as subordinates to do your will. Demons sired by you cannot be on or above the same tier of evolution as you are. As demons created by you, they will share an unbreakable bond you that will allow you to track their location.
Telepathy: You can communicate with anyone marked by you using your mind over any distance. Powerful energies interfere with telepathic communication.
Demon Eyes: As a Demon noble your eyes are a powerful tool. Using this skill you will be able to see residual energy, statuses and induce fear within weaker creatures.]
All of these skills were powerful and useful in their own ways, but sadly I won't be able to test them out at the moment. Using [Aura Vision], I could sense that the others were still fighting and I should probably go and help them but first, I needed some pants.

1 hour later
"Well, well, well little priest, this is the second time you have pissed me off. How shall I punish you?" I said with palpable rage and malice in my voice as I walked towards the ungrateful priest, I think his name was Kyle. This was the same guy I almost dropped from the sky, near the [Holy Territory] when I went to visit Synthia. I remember him acting like an arrogant asshole back then but now , he was on his knees shivering in fear. The reason was very simple, my [Demon Eyes] skill was activated on their own due to my rage inducing fear within the pathetic priest, currently vision was filled with red, blue and golden yellow outlines all over the place. I could see everyone's auras and also residual energy from the previous battle but I didn't look around more as my eyes were focused on this priest that didn't learn his lesson the last time. So this time I was going make sure it sinks in.
