"...If that's at least theoretically true… Then why is this guy still alive…?"
Although the retarded Overseer seed to be half dead, he was still alive in all senses of trueness, it even seed like his half dead status was more because of the wounds and damage that I inflicted on him instead of it being caused by the side effects of the 'Bloodline Burning Curse'...
'Is it possible that…'
"Oh, that crazy retard? He probably survived thanks to the bloodline core that his father gave him, it's pretty much the reason why the Shaman would actually use the 'Demon Sovereign Sacrifice' without any hesitation knowing that the Overseer was likely to survive…"
'Oh, it was indeed these purple shards…'
It was obvious that the only thing that seed to be remarkably different about the Overseer when I checked after waking up was the shattered glass-like purple shards that were still encased within the glassy ice that was all over his body…
"This 'Bloodline Core' can act as a replica to his own bloodline and allow his survival after the 'Sacrifice' has been cast?"
Since it was called a 'Bloodline Core' it only made sense that it was so sort of a way to bypass the Overseer as a dummy sacrificial item, it did shatter into shards after all…
"Yeah, his father's rank is indeed as important as he said… Such cores aren't very easy to get otherwise…" the sprout human said as he gave the half dead Overseer a condemning look…
It did indeed make sense this way, the Demon General understood that any normal attacks or combinations were unlikely to work against after I decapitated the Sword Demon in one hit without any trouble, so he ordered the Shaman to perform the whole 'Demonic Sovereign Sacrifice', also known as the 'Bloodline Burning Curse', to finish off by sacrificing themselves…
It wasn't that hard to understand, after all, almost all of the demons were dead by the ti I reached them, and they already knew that the Overseer had a protection thod if he was still alive, so they chose to sacrifice themselves before I managed to kill them to take down along with them… And they were quite close to achieving their target…
"Hmmm, then if you are still alive… Does that an that the 'Demonic Sovereign Sacrifice' is actually considered a cure that can turn humans who morphed into demons back to their original form..?"
This was the question that mattered the most, since it would an that I have finally found out a thod that can reverse demonification…
Of course, it wouldn't be that easy to use, but it could possibly act as a future hidden card if I use it the right way…
"You seem like you are reading too much into this… Sorry to disappoint you but it's not that easy…" the sprout human shrugged as he said to …
"... Do you care to elaborate…?" Seeing that he only said that small introduction before stopping, I urged him with a bit of 'Dragon Aura'.
"I got it, I got it… I was just catching my breath… No need to flaunt your aweso ability all the ti…" the sprout human slightly tilted…
"Go on."
"Alright… So the thing is, even though I'm a demonified human, in the 'Demonic Sovereign Sacrifice's discerning eyes, I'm also considered a demon bloodline holder, which is why I lost most of my ability as you can see…"
This part was already pretty much clear to , since I saw the whole shedding go on with my own eyes, but it was obvious that he was just saying that to explain the problem.
"The problem is… Once you lose your demon bloodline as a demonified human, you also lose your demon core, which ans that your newly obtained dark elent will be more or less eliminated, causing a chain effect that would destroy your own elent as well…"
'Oh? he shouldn't be alive then… Unless…'
While the best way to cripple an elental practitioner would be to destroy their elental conductor, depriving them of their natural attribute was the most sure kill thod one could use against one.
Of course it wasn't that easy to begin with, and the ways of doing so were limited. Forcing one to overdraw his elents was one thod, overwhelming their elental conductor was another, but they were all thods that required much trouble when compared to normal ways of killing such as decapitation, so it wasn't usually used unless in so sort of deviant torture thods…
This obviously ant that depriving demonified humans of their demonic bloodline was naturally the exact sa definition of killing them, which ant that the sprout human should be more or less a dead body if it was like that.
"Yes, 'Then why are you alive?' Is a very normal question to have at this point… The reason is simple, it's because my natural attribute is the Dark attribute…" the sprout human's expression turned into that of self depreciation…
'Indeed…'
Since he still seed to tell the truth to this point, this was pretty much the only way he could have survived…
"It's kinda ironic… But it seems like my curses attribute which caused my life to be hell to the point I joined the demons' side was actually the only thing that kept alive this ti…" the sprout human said as a bitter smile was all he could show on his face…
'I guess he might have had a complicated past…'
From his talks, it looked like he wasn't a complete demon sucker, who would do anything for more power, other than the bluffing he started with at the beginning, his line of thinking seed to be mostly human to this point.
"I didn't have to go through much trouble to reach full demonification thanks to my dark attribute as well, it made feel that I was kinda ant to be a demon more than being a human…"
