624 Descendants

If it was described in gaming terms, the so-called "Evil Demon Hunter" could be seen as a hidden and advanced profession of a Demon Hunter, as the conditions of being one were very harsh.

Even if it was a Titled Demon Hunter, he might not be able to be as ruthless as Daybreak Sword, who even chased and hunted down Evil Demons.

Most of the time, they only had the power to fight against Evil Demons. They usually needed three to five people to join hands in order to increase their chances of winning the fight against an Evil Demon—this was only in regards to winning the fight. To kill an Evil Demon and claim its corpse as a war trophy would be too difficult.

"As an Evil Demon Hunter, it's very important to be able to obtain a complete Evil Demon corpse and proceed with an ancient ritual for the sake of obtaining a higher rate of growth…"

Obviously, this information was hidden in a pile of books. It was only due to Fang Yuan's abnormally strong memory and discovery skills that allowed him to see it. Otherwise, not only would Roger get the skin from the Evil Demon corpse, but he would definitely use all his power to seize every part of the corpse.

"The path towards the ancient ritual had long been lost. It is said to be very dangerous, and the power that's obtained through it is very troublesome… Moreover, there were even Evil Demon Hunters that degenerated to become a new Evil Demon!

"Influenced by the bad news, and after the sudden collapse of the Dark Empire, the enemies of the Demon Hunters became less powerful. Naturally, the Evil Demon Hunters gradually gave way to Titled Demon Hunters…"

Fang Yuan's eyes glittered. "However, the so-called 'Evil Demon Hunters' are, in actual fact, just top-notch Masters!"

Demon Hunters were always fighting against darkness with power that came from the darkness itself.

Even though it was funny, it was the harsh truth.

"Even so… this world might've been a world with very strict laws of physics. It was only when the Mother of Reproduction arrived did the extraordinary powers appear…"

Only this reason could explain why the Demon Hunters were like this; they didn't have a choice!

"From this… Almon might not be an offspring of an Evil Demon, but a descendant of an Evil Demon Hunter!"

Fang Yuan came up with a theory. "I only need evidence to prove it now."

Although it was the same blood transplant process, normal Night Family Clan members and Evil Demon's were naturally opposite ends of the spectrum.

Regarding Peter, he should be thankful that he was still able to control his own right arm at the moment, despite the periodic attacks. If the Voodoo Corpse was an Evil Demon instead, he would've most likely lacked the power to resist it at all, and he would be assimilated straight away.

"If my biologic modification skills could reach the level of transplanting Evil Demon's blood with just a minimal price to pay, the research on the power of creation would be able to go one step further. I would then be able to attempt producing original energy."

Fang Yuan muttered to himself, "The next time I have a holiday, I'll go look for Almon and Peter."

After perfecting his own theories and experiments, the research had entered the practical stage.

These two people were, no doubt, the best subjects.

"Although Peter's will was shocking, the purity inside his body was the key to producing the best blood suppression medicament! The Evil Demon blood in Almon's body is also key to turning her into an Evil Demon Hunter."

Although she wouldn't be comparable to Titled Demon Hunters at the start, she would win when it came to having huge potential. She wouldn't hit the bottleneck in the future when she advanced!

As his thoughts wandered, Fang Yuan, once again, looked down at the crude creation of an ancient Demon Hunter.

An Evil Demon's corpse could only promote one Evil Demon Hunter. It was too wasteful.

If it was adapted to his creations, he would be able to create endless supplies of Evil Demon Hunters, and it would eventually be easy to deal with the whole world!

"It's not too late to start the operation now! However, it's better to add some insurance measures in the blood. I won't be able to break through the territory at all if I lose my individual will. I should at least add on a few limitations so they cannot make a move against me…"

"The Sacred Cup and the Dead Sea Ancient Scroll that has recently been rumored… I must have them!"

By previously obtaining a piece of Dead Sea Ancient Scroll, It had aided Fang Yuan immensely in his biologically modified Master research.

Hearing that the Demon Hunter Headquarters actually kept a key page, he had naturally developed some schemes.

Just when the Demon Hunters were enjoying their safety in the headquarters, darkness rose up, all the same.

…

In a back alley of a bar in Kotori City.

"You are… an Evil Demon? Ah!"

Accompanied by the screams of a pale-faced youth, his whole body turned into ashes amidst jade-green flames.

What was startling was the fact that no one in front of the bar heard his blood-curdling screams, not even the crowd on the streets outside.

"Another degenerated soul, no matter how much I taste it, it still gives me an amazing feeling."

The one that was called an Evil Demon was a middle-aged man that was wearing a black windbreaker. He looked like a normal Demon Hunter.

As he took off his cap, one could currently see a pair of purple eyes that had the charms of a demon. Anyone who saw it would feel the pain of their souls burning.

On the handsome face was an unusual satisfied expression, as if he had just had his fill of food.

"Sir Urias!"

At the side, a trembling Concealed Demon Killer walked out from a dark corner and bowed in respect. "Sir, everyone has arrived, they're just waiting for you."

"Mmm…"

The human-like Evil Demon casually nodded his head and looked at the whole city with a ravenous gaze. "A city completely filled with Demon Hunters… this is so nostalgic… What, did the three Evil Demon Kings forget the lesson they learned from Longinus's Spear and are preparing for another attack? And… you dare to command me when you're just a mere Concealed Demon Killer?"

Murderous intent shone from Urias' gaze as his hand shot out to squeeze the neck of the Concealed Demon Killer.

Whoosh!

Green flames gathered. Without giving any time for the Concealed Demon Killer to scream, it turned into a pile of ashes.

"Phew… I really am feeling much better after killing."

Urias heaved a long breath and looked at the darkness suddenly. "My apologies… I killed one of your underlings."

"It's a minor matter, Urias, your excellency!"

A pair of scarlet red eyes appeared in the darkness, it was also an Evil Demon. "Since the day Ternetheo died, the remaining Concealed Demon Killers don't seem to have much worth…"

"It was a failure the other time. Aside from the Hurin branch, our large troop that invaded the Demon Hunter Headquarters had also suffered a major loss, right?"

"It doesn't really count as a failure, at least we forced the Demon Hunters to pull back their line of defense… Furthermore, the sacrifices we made weren't for nothing. We have, at least, understood the ins and outs of Sacred Mountain and the Demon Hunters. Even if we're going to face Longinus again, it won't be a crushing defeat like the previous attempt," The red-eyed Evil Demon said.

It was hiding in the darkness, and its form couldn't be seen clearly. It looked like a huge existence, but also looked as if it was nothing but black gas as well. "It was only a probing attack the previous time. It's different this time around. We'll capture Sacred Mountain, degenerate the Demon Hunters, and make the world weep because of this!"

"Such a beautiful future…"

Urias laughed lightly, "I'm anticipating your moves… as for meetings and what-not, I won't be joining them, as I have more important things to do."

"What things?" Even if it was an Evil Demon, it also felt curious.

"My blood is within this city…" The middle-aged man sniffed the air, his face revealing a strange expression. "Although it's very thin, it really is my descendant."

"A Master within human beings? I understand…"

The scarlet red eyes dimmed, and the black fog faded away.

Urias, however, didn't leave immediately and continued to stand rooted on the ground, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he opened the pocket watch hanging in front of his chest and looked at the portrait of the woman in the case, his gaze was grave. "Serena!"

…

"The blood and suppression are the easiest part. In order to complete the blood transplant, the real complication in the operation is with the soul!

"Extraordinary blood has a unique mark. It needs to be concentrated into a brand and seared onto the soul. Otherwise, everything would be a waste…

"Hence, not only does a biologically modified Master need to be skilled with surgery, but he also needs to have a deep understanding regarding the territory of the soul…"

Fang Yuan scribbled and wrote in his notebook. Unconsciously, he left a large number of records.

"Okay. time to go down the mountain!"

The research on his theory had ended, next, it was time to move onto the practical aspect.

However, when he was leaving the laboratory, Fang Yuan realized that he had invited a small problem.

"You are… Crazy Lion Zweig ? Is there a problem?"

In front of him was Crazy Lion Zweig that he had only met once. He had brought along some members from the training class and was blocking Fang Yuan's way.

"You have betrayed the pride of a Demon Hunter!"

Zweig announced loudly, "As a Demon Hunter, you didn't fight on the battlefield, but instead, fight in the back… Did you know that within just this month, three members died!"

In actual fact, this was only an excuse.

Fang Yuan had gathered a large amount of dissatisfaction by using his identity as a Pharmacist to shy away from the cruel training and dangerous missions.

The real reason that made Zweig resolved was the other party's failure to appreciate others!

After all, no matter who it was, one should take the initiative to prostrate to this small group after being excluded for so long. In order to show one's loyalty, it was even logical to sell one's blood and kidney and provide medicament.

However, Hulk was acting as if nothing had happened, throwing cold water on them.

Since his plan failed, Zweig couldn't stand it and decided to jump out, preparing to become aggressive instead of being passive-aggressive.

"I'm sorry!"

Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulder. "If there's nothing else, can you get out the way?"

"You…"

This attitude made Zweig, who was acting at the time, to become angry for real. "What do you see human lives as?"

"Beat him up!"

The other members, motivated by a desire to see the world in chaos, shouted.

Seeing how their opponent was like this, it made even them hot-blooded and passionate about it, as if they had found the right reason.
