While Shin was still imrsed in his thoughts. The family of three he saved approached him.
"Excuse ?" The man called out to him.
Turning his head Shin looked at him in confusion wondering what's the matter with them, "Yes?"
The man and his wife imdiately bowed their heads, expressing their gratitude.
"Thank you so much for saving us."
Shin didn't think much about this matter. So he imdiately replied, "My only purpose was to kill those demons. There's no need for any thanks."
They thought Shin was just being humble. This made their evaluation of him even better.
But hearing the word demon, their pupils shrank in horror.
"A-Are those monsters, demons?" The man asked while trembling a little.
Shin's eyes narrowed, observing his reaction. Looking at him suspiciously, he asked, "Yes, do you know anything about them?"
According to his knowledge, the information about demons shouldn't be known to everyone yet. But the man's reaction made him wonder.
"No, we don't know much. It's just a few days ago so people calling themselves demon worshippers ca to recruit us." The woman answered in her husband's stead.
When Shin heard the na of that crazy group, his eyes beca solemn. 'I didn't expect them to start recruiting people already.''
Now that Shin realized that the demon worshippers were increasing their mbers, his brows furrowed. 'Their increase in influence is not a good thing.'
The man said, "Those people frantically praised demons so much as if they are gods." Then he looked at the bodies of the demons Shin killed and uttered with horror written on his face, "But they are not gods, rather even more terrifying than monsters."
Shin looked at him sympathetically but didn't bother to clear his perception about demons and gods. Because none of them is necessarily evil or good.
This was sothing he understood as he ca into contact with divine energy more and more.
But it was not the ti to think about that. Shin walked over to the demon's corpses and activated his skill.
"Devourer's Touch."
The next mont he felt instantly refreshed and his stamina and mana, that used in the battle just now, recovered instantly.
Although Shin had a plan prepared but before starting that, he was going to kill all the nearby demons.
When the couple saw Shin's body start levitating off the ground, they imdiately shouted, "Can you tell us your na?"
But Shin's figure was already flying high by then.
Sighing, the man said, "Maybe he didn't hear us."
"No, he heard us." The woman said.
The man was confused and then followed the gaze of his wife and saw on the ground. The purple-black flas burned on the ground, writing the word 'Shin'.
"Shin." They murmured in unison.
It was a na they would never forget their entire life.
"I've decided." The woman said.
"What?" the man asked.
"I'll na our child, Shin." The woman said, sweetly caressing the newborn child.
The man was taken aback for a mont, then gently nodded. "Yes, that's a good idea."

While flying towards the location of other demons, Shin couldn't help but think back on his actions just now.
He was extrely embarrassed. He wanted to look cool, but now that he thought back, his actions were a bit childish.
Then he thought of Alice and comforted himself. "Alice would have found it cool."
Feeling smug about sothing, he arrived at a park where the demons were munching on human bodies and a few children were crying, afraid of being the next one to be eaten.
The disgusting sight in front of him didn't bother him much. 'It feels I've beco accustod to these sights. But I have enough ntal resistance to these things now.'
This made him a little worried, thinking, will the demon energy inside him affect his ntality?
'I need to go back to the sanctuary and have a talk with the adult Alice.'
When Shin saw that the demon was to grab another child to eat, he imdiately used Extre Speed and sent a Lightning Slash chopping the demon.
The children didn't understand what happened, but the demons reacted imdiately and vigilantly looked at Shin.
*Grrrr*
'Oh, these guys still retain so intelligence.'
But Shin didn't care. Shuttling at high speed, he appeared near all the demons one by one and killed them, chopping them in half with Lightning Slash.
*Graaah*
*Chop*
*Zzzt*

His attacks also roasted their dead bodies.
The children were still shocked and afraid. Shin felt bad for them and didn't know how to comfort them. So he imdiately used Mind Control on all of them to relax their nerves.
His trick did work, and their fear and tension gradually subsided. But it turned into admiration as they looked at him.
Shin wondered, 'A child's mind is so simple. It was so easy to control.'
But he didn't have any ideas about that.
Shin wasn't worried about leaving them here. Because he had already scanned the area. Moreover, he was going to kill the nearby demons, so staying here won't be dangerous for them.
So he left them and rushed toward another area. There, he found eight more demons causing havoc.
But there were no people nearby, and the demons were destroying the buildings.
Shin thought of sothing and used Water Magic and Toxic Ninja to create a drizzle of poison rain.
It didn't seem much different from normal rain. Just like transparent water. But only Shin knew it was an extrely potent poison made by his ability.
Soon the poison rain fell from the sky, and those poison drops splashed on those demons. It didn't even arouse their vigilance.
When Shin saw this scene, a smirk appeared on his face, 'Hehe, they are treating it just as simple rain.'
Shin patiently waited for the poison to take effect and not even a minute later, those demons were writhing in pain.
Soon their roars and screams echoed in the area, and finally, a few minutes later, it ended.
