Blood Evolution System - Chapter 230

The only one who had ever fed King Wrath with words of wisdom was his old friend, the one who urged him to escape the control of his parents. He was also the one who sacrificed his life to save him from certain death. His old friend was who It hated the most as without his interference; It would’ve successfully overtaken King Wrath’s body years ago.

“Goddamn him, I should’ve gotten rid of him the very day you came in contact with him.” The demon roared weakly.

“No one can change what had happened in the past, not you, not me, nor anyone else.” King Wrath folded his hands over his chest as his lips stretched back to form a smug smile.

“Don’t be too smug! Didn’t he die too because of you?”

“It was his choice, and he told me never to regret and move on, or else he would’ve really wasted his life in return for nothing.” King Wrath said in a regret-free voice.

That person was too good for him. Honestly, if there was one thing he wanted to change, then it was the death of his old friend.

“It’s time for you to sleep for another few years.” King Wrath pulled out the demon sealing mask that he had taken off after entering the monster tower.

The ancient demon admiral had lost all his energy and was too weak to contend against him or even stand the power of the mask. It meant that he wouldn’t be facing any sudden of getting his body or a part of it overtaken by the demon in him.

“You think you’re the victor? No! You’re wrong! Weakening me and sealing me off is the same as cutting off your bridge to survival! With me wasted, how many times do you think you can use my Hell’s paradise? Let me tell you, once or thrice, but not more than that. Without it, can you survive the threats to your life and the assault of your enemies?”

The demon was sure that it had said enough to save itself from getting sealed by its vessel once again. It was weak right now, so the mask will be extremely effective. It won’t be able to sense or see whatever its ship was doing or what was happening in the outside world. Not to mention, without the mask, it would take a few months for it to recover. But with the show on its vessel’s face, its recovery will become extremely slow, and it will take two to four years to recover.

King Wrath surely understood the implications of what he said, but instead of panicking or stopping himself from wearing the mask, he exposed a smile and said, “Why do you think I joined the military academy? Did you seriously believe that it was because I wanted to hide from my enemies and the academy was the best place for it? No! dumbass! It was because your left arm is there, sealed in the deepest underground level of the Academy!”

When it heard that King Wrath had already located another piece of its body and it was also close to him, its eyes widened like saucers, and disbelief filled its eyes.

“Impossible! I’ve always been with you. Why don’t I have any memory of you finding out the location of my left arm?!”

It resided in his body. It saw everything through his eyes. It heard everything through his ears. So, how could it be possible that it didn’t know that he had already found another piece of his body!

Just how?

“You must be bluffing!”

It confidently said those words.

“Dis you forgot that you grew weak years ago, and I used the demon-sealing mask to seal you for half a night?”

His words charged ahead like a bolt of lightning and struck the demon right where it hurts the most. The demon turned silent. Everything made sense to it now! The first time it became weakened happened many years ago. It was the time King Wrath went to complete his third mission with his old friend. It was a surprise that he managed to hide such a huge truth from itself for so many years.

Really a surprise!

“I’m impressed.” The demon said, “Damn the world for giving me a vessel like you who is always plotting against me, ah!”

It could only sigh in defeat and curse the world and Wrath’s parents.

“Just like how I got your heart, I will also kill the consciousness of your arm and attach it to myself. Then, I will have two Hell’s paradise, one from your heart and the other from your arm. With those two add up, I will become far stronger than now. By the time you recover, I will leave you with no way of invading my consciousness.”

After throwing these words that will haunt the ancient demon for as long as it remains sealed in the darkness, the young and handsome man, who was only 20-year-old fitted the mask on his face and poured some energy into it, causing its effect to get activated.

The demon-sealing mask effectively put the demon behind bars, freeing King Wrath from many dangers.

The demon that he had been fighting against for the past several years would now no longer trouble him, and although this situation would last only for some time, it still made him immensely happy. After all, it was different than a terminally ill person becoming healthy overnight. Who wouldn’t be overjoyed?

King Wrath placed his hand on his stomach and said, “I will be relying on you from now on.”

To show that he really meant his words, he pulled out the heart of the ghastly monster he killed and consumed it. He had heard and remembered what the demon had said. Its heart had the ability to give its owner the ability of any being whose heart it consumes. King Wrath wanted to gain the ability of the Ghastly Monster to up his current power level.
