"I'm able to sense anyone in possession of my Demon Arms, as well as smell the scent of anyone that has come into contact with it or had killed a wielder of the Demon Arms." The Demon smiled, dropping Shi Bao's head on the ground, smirking while gazing at Krune. "I also took the liberty of dealing with your family."
"Damn you… fuċker!" Krune grunted in wrath when he noticed something amiss, noticing that Shi Bao's face looked as if he was around sixty years old.
"Hahaha, he used my Demon Arms to protect his family. After he was killed, his sister used it, followed by the other one. Eventually, they just strengthened me while trying to defend against my attacks." The Demon laughed, sneering upon seeing Krune's malevolent expression.
"Hmph!" Suddenly, a gust of wind spread around Krune, allowing him to get up as his body began to rapidly thin out. He was combusting all his flesh and blood to fuel his Cloud Whale's power. With a start, he leaped towards the Demon, intending to attack with all his might.
His sudden spike in speed startled everyone, including the Demon. However, before Krune's sword managed to reach the Demon, a gentle petal appeared, defending against his attack.
Unexpectedly, it also caused his sword to freeze up, creating a layer of frost over Krune's hand.
"I cannot feel the presence of any Imperial Arms on you," The Demon frowned. "And you're pretty strong despite that. However, that's it. Without an Imperial Arms, you won't be able to harm me."
Saying so, the Demon raised his hand, unleashing a purple beam of light that pierced through Krune's head, bursting it into pulp, causing his body to plop to the ground.
Seeing the scene of carnage, the Demon frowned, saying, "We lost five Demon Arms wielders that I had been grooming all this time. Just where the hell did he come from?"
He then looked at the figure of Feng Bolin rushing away from the Feng Family estate before saying, "Interrogate him."
"On it!" The girl from the Xiong Family laughed before chasing after Feng Bolin, catching him before he managed to leave the estate. As a merchant, he hadn't ever had to run before. So, he was too slow that the girl was able to catch up to him even though she was playing around along the way.
Upon the Demon's orders, she interrogated Feng Bolin, killing him in the end, along with the rest of the guards and servants that had arrived.
"Lord, what shall we do now?" Su Daiyu asked, furrowing her pretty brows. "Our plan to take over Red Coast Town has fallen apart with the death of most of the young masters and young ladies."
"This is indeed a worrying matter." The Demon sighed before slumping his hands over her shoulder. "In any case, we'll have enough time for everything. Taking down the Daxia Imperial Family is easier said than done, after all. Even I don't dare to underestimate a Star Imperial Arms."
His hands then gently brushed over her lips as he continued, "But first, let's turn you into a Demon. You've already become half-demon after I implanted a Nightmare Core into your body. Now, you only need to nurture a nightmare inside you and make it yours."
"Yes, Lord. I won't fail you," Su Daiyu replied, lightly blushing when he gently nibbled on her earlobes.
…
Krune soon woke up, staring at the scene of a classroom around him. However, he was unable to make sense of the situation. Odd ringing sounds resounded in his mind while the light distorted.
All he was able to smell was a horrid stench of blood and the mocking voice of the Demon. It was not to mention that the sight of Shi Bao's withered head flashed into his mind, along with the rest of Shi Jiang's family.
Sweat dripped from his forehead as his eyes turned red. His breathing grew haggard as he could feel his body temperature increase rapidly. The sounds of a brush stroking paper splashed around nearby, resounding as the scene of countless bodies being chopped, with the severed parts plopping into a pool of blood through which his injured body slid through, creating the same sound as the brush.
"Arrgh!" Krune was unable to endure it any longer, screaming as he clutched his head. Shedding tears, he collapsed to the ground, fainting.
…
"Where…am I?" After what felt like a long time, Krune weakly woke up, noticing that he was in a brightly lit room. The ventilation was exceptional, with both the sides of the room leading into an open veranda, one in which also existed shallow pools, enriching the ambiance of the place.
Getting up, he clutched his head, feeling an unbearable pain emanate from it.
"You should still rest. You have a horrible fever." A melodious voice resounded as a gentle lady the personification of water appeared before him, lightly tapping his forehead before making him sleep.
As he heard her voice, a surge of information gushed into his mind, knocking him unconscious.
…
"That child has been unconscious for the past two days after that one time he woke up," a worried voice echoed through the place.
"His vitals are pretty healthy. With sufficient rest, he would be fine." A gentle voice, one filled with wisdom, resounded following that.
Hearing the conversations, Krune regained consciousness, taking his sweet time to understand his current identity.
He also came to terms with how Shi Jiang's life played out.
It was a massive blunder!
He had died. His family had been killed by the Demon. And worst of all, he was unable to even touch the Demon before being killed.
The difference in power between the two was clearly made obvious as Krune gritted his teeth before sighing. 'No, wallowing in my own sorrow would do me nothing. I have to learn from my mistakes and create the perfect path for my victory.'
Sighing, he regulated his breathing, finally going through all of his current identity's memories as he clenched his hand into a fist. 'This feels like the best setting I could ever hope for.'
'And this time, I'll eradicate you, Demon!' With that, Krune got up, gazing at his young hands, clenching them once before gritting his teeth.
