Chapter 177: CHAPTER 177 – Her voice was annoying.
When the body of the Aquathren started turning purple, Sophia spoke in Alex's head.
[Looks like the demonic energy had absorbed whatever energy it could from the Aquathren's body.]
'I see, but why did his body turn purple?'
[That's because of demonification.]
'Demonification? Isn't he dead already?'
Alex grew confused inwardly, but none of that showed outside as he kept looking at the Aquathrens with a contemplating expression.
[He did die, but the demonic energy you sent inside of him made him an incomplete demon.]
'So, you mean to say that if he were to somehow survive and take then somehow take control of the demonic energy, he would've been a complete demon, by now?'
[Yes, that is what I'm trying to say.]
'I see….' Alex nodded his head and started thinking of ways to make better use of this knowledge, but then Sophia spoke again.
[Oh, you can also extract the demonic energy that you sent inside him.]
'I can?' Alex raised a brow and then he spoke out loud.
"I almost forgot it."
He then started extracting the energy.
'It seems to have grown quite a lot.'
Alex muttered with a smile.
[It did devour all of that guy's mana and sucked out the energy from even his cells.]
Sophia commented as if stating a fact.
'Well, it can help me increase my stock of demonic energy, so I guess it's for the better….'
Unlike Alex's mana which could be regenerated instantaneously because of the instantaneous regeneration ability, his demonic energy couldn't.
The demonic energy could be stored in any part of the body, and it takes time to regenerate, unlike mana.
So, the demonic energy is not something one uses randomly.
However, there is one good thing about demonic energy.
You can keep storing the demonic energy inside your body, even if your demonic energy container is full.
It works like an extra reserve.
The accumulated energy shot toward Alex and entered his body directly.
'Ah….'
Alex sighed in relaxation.
It felt like he was being massaged by a skilled masseur.
It was like soaking in a hot spring.
"Alex!" X2
Just then he heard the screams of Alice and Ann, so he raised his palm, indicating that he was fine before he spoke.
"…It's fine, I'm fine…"
He spoke as he tried to get over the feeling, he got by gaining the extra energy.
'That was the energy I got from just one of them….'
*Chuckle*
Alex started chuckling.
'My anger somehow went away all of a sudden.
These guys look pitiful to me now….'
Alex chuckled as he thought about the Aquathrens' situation.
'They are going to get killed just because some of them couldn't control their pants, and even in death, they are helping me, who is their enemy.
They turned out to be good guys like Stephan.
But I guess, good guys don't live long, after all, Stephan didn't live long…'
Alex shook his head inwardly before he pointed at a guy.
"You are the next lucky person to be my test subject!"
The guy who was pointed at started trembling uncontrollably, like he was having a seizure.
"Oh, this guy vibrates, as well? Let's see how you do then…"
Alex spoke as he rubbed his palms together.
He waved his hand and the guy's body started moving toward Alex.
The Aquathrens finally realized what that sinking feeling in their hearts was.
'We are all going to die….'
'We are all going to die a painful death….'
They knew what was coming for them as they watched another one of their kind going down the same way the last one did….
..........................................…
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"NOOO!! Please let me live!!"
"Please!! I can't take it anymore!!"
"I will be your bitch if you want to!!"
"I feel my insides burning!!!"
"Please help me!!"
"Makrum, you bastard! Help me!"
The screams of a lady were heard as Alex sat between Alice, Ann, and Noctura, talking among themselves.
Completely ignoring the lady who wriggled on the ground as she screamed in pain.
It's been a while, and other than Makrum, a mid-boss beast and the lady that always stuck close to Makrum, none of the Aquathrens were alive right now.
Well, the lady was more or less dead as well, but for now, she was alive.
But Ann suddenly stood up and walked toward the lady without saying anything.
Alex raised a brow as he saw this, but he didn't say anything and waited.
The lady Aquathren's eyes brightened when she saw Ann moving toward her.
"Please save me!! You are a woman as well! I know you will help me-"
The lady was going to continue screaming, but….
*Slash*
Ann slashed the lady's jaw with a dagger that materialized in her hand out of nowhere, causing her jaw to fall down on the ground.
"NNNNNNNNNNN!!!!"
The lady could now just cry in pain as she looked at Ann with eyes filled with hatred.
This caused Ann to frown and the next second the lady's eyes widened in shock, but she didn't get time to do anything.
*Pierce**Pierce*
Ann poked the eyes of the lady with her dagger.
It was not deep enough to kill her, but it was deep enough to make her unable to see anymore.
Ann then turned around and walked back toward her seat beside Alex.
Alex just smiled widely as he looked at Ann walking back.
Ann who saw his smile, spoke.
"Her voice was annoying," Ann shrugged, but then she added.
"And her eyes as well."
"Indeed, it was quite irritating, thank you for making it stop," Alex just smiled as he shook his head.
Ann nodded her head and sat on her seat gracefully.
The lady continued to writhe in pain before just like others, her screams turned to whimpers and groans before she took her last breath.
"Oh, even she died huh, I got my hopes up for nothing…."
Alex sighed as he stood up and walked toward the lady.
"Why did you have your hopes up for her in particular???"
Alice looked at Alex judgingly.
"Eh? It's nothing like that, love.
It's just that she was an SS-rank monster, so I thought that maybe I would see something special, but I just got disappointed…."
Alex sighed as he shook his head.
But Alex was not even listening to his words.
Her mind just kept repeating the first line Alex spoke.
'It's nothing like that, love. It's nothing like that, love. It's nothing like that, love. Love. Love...'
'He called me love!'
Alice held her cheeks with a silly smile plastered on her face.
Ann looked at her and smiled.
She knew that she would have the same reaction if she were in Alice's place, after all, she loved Alex as much as Alice did.
Alex, who walked toward the lady started extracting the demonic energy from the lady when he felt a pair of eyes staring hole at his back.
"Geez, I was coming to you next, you know?
What's with the hard look, I won't be unfair to you guys, I will give you the same treatment as others…."
