DEMON KING ASCENSION SYSTEM - Chapter 210 - 210 Huge Gorill-
210 Huge Gorill-
As the severe headache struck his head, Blake had totally lost his consciousness. Not knowing what was happening to him nor when he would be arriving at the previous realm where he had lived before he was moved to the demon realm, which was the earth or the human world.
Blake remembered clearly everything the system had told him, from what he would be doing back on earth, how he would get back, and the limitations that he got as he and Robus would be put in ‘disguises’ while they were on earth.
So when Blake finally regained his consciousness, Blake couldn’t help but hold his head as the severe headache that struck him earlier still lingered before it slowly dissipated and disappeared completely.
After being freed from the headache, Blake could finally see his surroundings properly. He could feel his body was currently lying on the ground. It was a familiar feeling as the grassy ground had become his bed for the past week when he traveled from the first humanoid demon base to the second one.
Blake didn’t feel anything different from the current grass and the grass that he used as his bed back in the demon realm, but he certainly could not miss out on the fact that the sky that he was currently seeing was not the familiar red sky that he had been seeing for the past months.
Instead, what covered his head was a light blue sky, complete with white fluffy-looking clouds. And the things around him didn’t have that slight red hue as the red sky that hung directly above your head and never went elsewhere was also absent, replaced by a sun that was already three-quarters of its way going into the horizon.
With his photographic memory, Blake didn’t experience memory loss or a case where he forgot where he should be now and what he should be doing. He could still perfectly remember what he needed to do here, back in a world that he was more familiar with as he had been living in it for more than a decade.
But Blake wasn’t in a hurry. He didn’t jump up from the ground and started searching for the so-called evolution catalyst that he knew nothing about.
Enjoying the cool breeze blowing his body that rested on the somewhat soft ground, Blake took his time as he slowly sat up, enjoying the familiar sun’s warm light.
…..
He might have rolled over and gotten out of the sunlight’s reach if it was in the middle of noon, but the evening sun did not sting and it instead gave him a familiar warming light, one of the few comforts that he had while he was still a powerless creature back in the human world.
The very first thing that Blake noticed about his body was none other than his skin which had turned jet-black before had now turned back to its original light brown color. n0𝑽𝐄𝓁𝓊𝑆𝑩.𝕔0𝚖
Raising both of his arms and legs, Blake also noticed the absence of sharp claws that his demon body had. And instead, a normal-looking pair of human hands and feet decorated his limbs.
His clothes were still the ones that he got from Vera, making him stand out if he ever walked in a crowd of people as he would look like someone cosplaying medieval age nobility that liked to wear coats and thick clothing.
However, the clothes’ auto cleaning rune formation had done its job very well, making itself free from dirt or any kind of stain despite him laying on the grassy ground for quite a while.
‘Am I a human again now…?’ Blake asked this question to himself as he stared at his own body.
The possibility of him being knocked out and dreaming of all the things that he had gone through for the past month and a half was none as the clothing that he currently wore was more than enough for him to know that it was real. The fact that he had become a demon wasn’t his dream.
And as if to make sure that it was indeed real and to answer his own question, Blake stayed still, closed his eyes, and tried moving the nether inside his body.
And just like usual, the nether in his body moved from his heart, circulating all over his body repeatedly as Blake didn’t tell them to go in a specific direction.
His nether circulation speed was still above average, having Cyra’s bloodline power did really help him a lot, making him still have his prior abilities despite having his soul damaged from the unexpected bloodline power of the necromancer.
Blake kept his nether running inside his body for about a whole 5 seconds while his head was processing the things that kind of happened suddenly, but then he abruptly stopped circulating his nether as his skin had suddenly gone several shades darker, getting closer to the original jet-black color that he had when he had been turned to a demon.
Fortunately, after another 5 seconds had passed, his skin returned to the light brown color once again, the signs of his original demon body being erased by the system’s disguise.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot about that…” The system had mentioned that his disguise would crumble if he ever used his nether, hence the system advised him to refrain from using nether. Luckily for him, the system seems to have the ability to repair the disguise if it was given enough time.
‘I could still use nether as usual, but what about my physique?’
Blake then kicked against the ground below, doing a simple vertical jump that only used a fraction of his power.
And the result could be said to be more than satisfying. A single casual vertical jump that might have only caused his body to jump up a few inches if he were a normal human, had turned to a casual 2-meter tall jump without Blake putting in much effort.
His raised physique stat had now become far above an average human without them using their magic to enhance their bodies.
‘Wait, can I put some of my unused status points now? I should have 5 now that I have reached level 15…’
Blake then opened up his status page.
———-
Name:…Blake
Race: Darkness Demon
Level:15 (Pending;Evolution)
Stats:
Physique: 25
Spirit: 55
Unused: – (Pending;Evolution)
Bloodline Power:
(Darkness Demon) Monarch’s Covenant
As a monarch, your subjects’ power will be your strength and your power will be their strength. You will be able to make a pact with another demon. You will get their elemental affinity and bloodline power, in return, their darkness affinity will be multiplied depending on how high your darkness affinity is. (2/3)
(Earth Ape Demon) Dark Earth Armor
A variation of earth armor that had received a massive amount of darkness element. On top of the ordinary protection you get from the original earth armor, the darkness element would also enhance the defensive capability by absorbing some of the elements that were thrown into the armor to reinforce itself.
(Fire Variant Demon) Child of The Dark Flame
A “Child of The Flame” variant that had been amalgamated with the darkness element. An addition to the original ability to control flames as if part of one’s limbs and being immune to it, the darkness element infusion gave the flames higher destructive and scorching power and also enabled a higher level of flame control for the beholder.
Quest:
+(Main) Reach level 15 and Evolve!
+(Evolution) Get your evolution catalyst back.
Due to the host’s unique constitution, an evolution catalyst had been given to the host to undergo a special evolution. But the evolution catalyst was currently not found in Host’s body. Retrieve the evolution catalyst first before proceeding with the next step.

‘Huh? Pending? What does that mean? I don’t get the usual 5? Would I get more or would I not get to choose this time because it was an evolution this time not a single level up?’
Remembering that Robus had his body suddenly changed after being surrounded by the swirl of nether, Blake thought that it might be the case for him and he should really focus on finishing his evolution quest first.
After making sure that it was still really his demon body and it was only his appearance that had reverted back to what he used to look like, Blake heaved a sigh of relief as he looked around him.
At first, it was seemingly a foreign area where there were trees all around him and seemingly nothing else was in the surrounding area. But after observing more, Blake felt the place was quite familiar to him.
He would never forget a word that he had read through once in a 1000 pages book, how could he forget a place that he had seen before? Blake then walked around the place a little more to learn more about his current location.
Blake was about to go towards a certain direction where he felt the most familiar with when he suddenly sensed a fluctuation of nether back in the place where he had appeared earlier. So Blake hurriedly went over to check.
A small black portal the size of his body then appeared above the ground. The portal stayed open for a whole three seconds, vomiting something from within it before then it disappeared completely, leaving not a single trace behind.
And when Blake take a look towards the thing that had been spitted out from the portal, Blake could see the familiar yet unfamiliar his huge gorilla best frie-
“Wait, a monkey?”
