However, Nyxara did not expect that Myles experiment lasted for a week. Aside from bringing prisoners, she had to provide food for Myles.
She was frustrated, but her frustration wouldn't last whenever she recalled Myles's reward once it was over.
For a week, she was shocked to discover Myles ascended into Rank 2 Common Demon rank.
Her eyes and mouth widened when she realized how fast Myles ascended.
I wasn't even that fast. It took me two years to ascend to Rank 2 Common Demon rank from Rank 5 when I was born.
Just how does he do it?
She could not help but ask Myles and she received a shocking answer. Myles' condition to ascend was simple compared to their race.
Myles went straight to digest their demonic core without limits. Meanwhile, succubus had to seduce to improve their racial trait and at the same time absorbed demonic energy while the demons were under their charm.
They had to take a rest from to time to prevent their demonic core from overwhelming with the amount of demonic energy to assimilate.
However, Myles core was gluttonous, as though it doesn't have limits. It would eat and consume without stopping and at a rapid rate at that, too.
As a result, Nyxara didn't doubt Myles was a king, too.
Furthermore, the surprise didn't end there. After a week of experimentation, Myles consumed the demonic core of four different demon races.
Myles stopped her from getting anymore prisoner and when she was about to get rid of the corpse, Myles' shadow suddenly extended and became tangible.
It turned into a whip and went straight to be grasped by his hand, as he swung it around.
Nyxara was speechless.
Ever since she discovered Myles, she had been getting a lot of surprise that she should be numb at this point.
She mumbled, "That's an innate demonic art of Gloomkin."
Myles turned towards her and nodded. "Yeah. It's interesting."
"Interesting…" Nyxara was speechless when she heard Myles' reaction.
She simply stared at him in long silence, causing Myles to frown at her.
"What are you staring at?"
Nyxara shook her head and said, "You really have the ability to surpass the Demon King."
Myles was surprised. He was silent for a while and said, "Yeah, but the Demon King at this kingdom couldn't be any more fitting of his status."
Nyxara nodded. "Be patient. Don't forget that you are not in a rush."
Myles smiled and said, "Yeah. I can give you my time later. Get rid of the corpse first and inform me if I can return to your body room. I memorized the path."
Thankfully, Nyxara already looked away from him, so she could hide the redness on her face, increasing her pace to leave the door to get rid of the corpse.
…
When Myles was left alone, he checked his core.
His demonic core became a wispy essence and colored pale green. It was semi-intangible and it fluctuated with emotion.
And the very emotion Myles felt…
Hunger. Continuous hunger.
Myles felt helpless because it bothered him, especially whenever he conjured his demonic energy. Thankfully, his demonic core wouldn't obstruct him from utilizing the demonic energy it absorbed.
Still, the more demonic energy Myles consumed, the higher the intensity of his demonic core's demand.
I just have to get used to it.
He asked the voice in his head, "Show me my current status."
[Name: Myles Martin
Demon Name: Vorash Kael Nethrux Zaal'eth Omnigra [Expand]
Race: Half-Incubus Half-Imp
Rank: Rank 2 Common Demon
Bloodline: Ancient Demon of Gluttony [Expand]
Skills: Energy Drain, Charm, Energy Drain, Burrow Strike, Shadow Latch, Soul Snare, Aroma Bewitch]
"Expand on the description of Shadow Latch, Soul Snare, and Aroma Bewitch."
The wall of texts changed to Myles' order.
[Shadow Lash: You can extend your shadow and shape it into a whip. Because you learned it from the innate skill of Gloomkin, you can only shape it into a whip.
Soul Snare: You can temporarily trap a target soul through a contract bound. You will be the contractor and they will be the recipient. However, contract bound tends to fail if the recipient's rank is higher than you. They can easily break through it through other means.
Aroma Bewitch: You can manipulate desire or fear through scent.
Note: Do note that all the skills you have at the moment are at Common rank aside Charm. To prevent convoluting your status, the rank of each skill will not be included.]
When Myles read the last part, he nodded and did not mind the voice's arrangement.
He noted each skill and didn't feel like they were special due to their ability.
He simply could not help but compare it to Nyxara's mother demonic martial arts.
That was not an innate demonic art, though. I have to learn it.
Myles did not mind learning from scratch. As long as it would help him become powerful, then he would not mind setting aside his pride.
As he was in the middle of pondering, the Blood-link Stone suddenly became warm in his chest.
Nyxara said it was better to be placed in an area that touched his skin, so he would be notified immediately.
Myles grabbed the Blood-link Stone and injected his demonic energy with it.
Nyxara's voice echoed in the Blood-link Stone.
"Y-You can come now."
Myles grinned. Since he has time and Nyxara already stated there were no more Common Demon rank prisoners left and the Greater Demons had to be informed through her mother, Myles decided to take a rest… the kind of rest where Nyxara deserved it, too.
He teased through the Blood-link stone. "Aren't you looking forward to it?"
The Blood-link stone soon lost its warmth and Myles simply smiled after knowing Nyxara dropped the call.
He relaxed his muscles a bit and only now realized how filthy his skin was.
He didn't wear clothes, either. His skin could strangely hide his dragon.
He decided to take a shower later on.
But first, he had to produce a lot of sweat…
