GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Aeternus is far from normal for a demon. He is tireless and he doesn't need to breathe since he doesn't have lungs. Chaos energy has warped his body into something that is an unfeeling vessel much similar to that of an undead. Except he isn't only bones. All of his living flesh has just been morphed into this hard and black material that can conduct Chaos energy.

He didn't encounter any fight all the way here because low-rank demons ran away from him and he didn't bother to give chase. They may have marks of sin because of their evolution but it won't help his own soul mark to grow quickly.

He doesn't want to spend years trying to become a mid-rank demon by killing low-rank demons. Their power rating which ranged between 20 to 36 didn't encourage him either. They are just too weak for him.

The first mid-rank demon that saw him started to approach him menacingly. It spoke in the demon tongue to him. "What do we have here? A new toy to play with. A special toy too. I'll enjoy killing you. I was feeling bored already."

Fledglings are weak. Low-rank demons have the strength of mana entities but they are mostly chaotic and unintelligent. Mid-rank demons have the power of transcendents. They are intelligent and territorial. It is at this point in strength that the social hierarchy is recognized.contemporary romance

The area that Aeternus is about to enter belongs to this demon. Apart from his need to defend its territory, it also felt a need to destroy Aeternus. It wasn't scared by the ominous darkness wafting from Aeternus' body like smoke. Instead, something about Aeternus is very appealing to it.

The demon could feel that if it can kill Aeternus, he can acquire something unique that will make it stronger and it could also tell that it had a chance of victory. It didn't question the fact that its demon Instincts are only informing it that it had a chance of victory instead of assured victory. After all, what can a low-rank demon do to it? So the demon was very much looking forward to the fight.

Aeternus is also looking forward to the fight. To jump ranks and bring down a demon above him in the evolutionary ranks will make his sin grow quickly. What is more chaotic than a disregard for order and hierarchy?

Aeternus's face remained expressionless. First, he checked the demon's stats.

Fitalo was tall for a demon of his rank. Almost 3 meters in height and bulky to match. He had stats that fit his rank but they weren't special. The only thing that stood out was his strength. He had decided to prioritize his physical stats instead of his magical ones during his evolution to become a mid-rank demon.

He may be an all-brawns kind of demon but Aeternus plans to use him to gain information about demon prowess and fighting mechanics from the fight. He didn't speak and only beckoned to the demon.

The demon got angry immediately. How did a lowly demon dare to disrespect him like that? Did the weakling think he stood a chance against him? He wielded his spiked club and raced toward Aeternus intending to put the disrespectful little shit in his place which is 6 feet underground. That's if it can eat Aeternus.

His feet stomped on the ground heavily and his body started glowing red light. Fitalo's body emitted an aura of terror that will cower any other low-rank demon that knows what's good for them into realizing that they may have bitten more than they can chew.

Low-rank demons hardly reach 2 meters, so it is more than a terrifying sight to see a giant more than a meter taller than you aiming to kill you but Aeternus stood his ground. He raised his two hands up and got into a grappling stance. Fitalo swung his spiked club downward to smash Aeternus into a pulp. Aeternus sidestepped the attack calmly. His enemy had all but telegraphed what it would do so it was easy for him to anticipate and evade.

The smash had made Fitalo lower his head. So Aeternus took advantage of their close proximity to poke his eyes. Fitalo roared in pain. He tried to swat Aeternus away with one of his hands but Aeternus kicked him between his legs. He fell to the ground groaning and cursing.

The fight and the weapon he dropped were at the back of his mind. He was determined to get vengeance though. His vision was tainted red with the need for blood, or it could be the popping of blood vessels in his eyes due to them bulging in pain.

"If I get my hands on you little rat, I'll kill you. Do you hear me? I'll kill you."

He was shouting and raving but Aeternus didn't care.

He dusted his hands together and said to himself, "This is good enough."

All he did was bring Fitalo to ground level in a position for him to do whatever he wanted to do with the demon. He began punching the helpless demon. But no amount of effort could get past the physical defense of the demon enough to cause damage to it.

His own strength is of the low rank, so it is helpless against the defense of mid-rank. A defense rating of 69 beats an attack rating of 24.
