Unfortunately for Shane, the demon seed to have realized that sothing was off with Shane's power level. He frowned as he attacked with a full force. Soon enough, he realized what was wrong. As soon as he attacked, Shane backed away, not being able to block the attack any longer. A line of blood dropped from the corners of his lips as he wiped with the back of his hands.
Shane looked at the demon with a scornful attitude, "Aren't you fighting?"
The demon laughed, "You want to fight in this state?"
"Yes," Shane looked confident, but, inside, his body was withering at a fast speed. It was just that he didn't want the demon to find out about his situation. He raised his chin to make himself look a little intimidating, "There's nothing wrong with ."
"Really?" The demon didn't believe it as he raised his sword and attacked with full force, "Then try to block this attack."
This ti, the demon used all his energy to attack, so much so that Shane could barely block it. His breathing went erratic as he wiped the drop of blood that started flowing again from the corners of his mouth.
He couldn't take it anymore. He would have to kill this demon before his body ended up getting sucked up and exhausted. His eyes glanced around the darkness as he tried to make plans.
Should he use his powers against this demon? As soon as this thought arrived, he shook his head. No, he had promised not to use his powers, even though he was using it indirectly. He couldn't let the demon know about it.
Just then, he rembered he could see the status of the other person. He imdiately used the skill as the stats window of the demon appeared in front of his eyes.

Shane's eyes flickered with interest. This was the first ti he had seen soone belonging to such a high-level other than Dirt. His eyes narrowed at the weapons section.
The demon had used only a sword. He wondered what this demon could do with others.
On the contrary, the latter had only one skill at hand that Shane was already familiar with, and he assud the demon couldn't use it anymore because of his energy sucking ability.
Shane frowned as he opened his stats.

His stats decreased a lot, but he could see that his experience had increased. Could it be that it increased because he killed so many demons personally?
He raised his brows. His skills were still zero, which couldn't explain why he could still suck other people's powers without having any specific skills.
So, he could only assu that it must be the trait of using dark cosmic energy, and so he put it aside for now.
He wasn't idle during this ti. He fought with the demon and dodged as many attacks as possible. Not only that, but he knew he wouldn't be able to continue on as his body was exhausted.
What should he do…?
His restless eyes glanced at the demon as the latter continued to attack without a hint of stopping, making Shane sweat profusely at an alarming rate. At the end, the demon's sword pierced Shane's stomach.
A stream of blood flooded out of the wound. Shane felt a hint of sharp pain flashing in his stomach as the muscles of his face twisted. The sword was pulled out as the pain beca intense. The flooding of blood also enhanced as Shane fell to his knees. His face hit the cold and damp floor as he stared at the darkness with a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes.
No, he couldn't die! At least, not without saving his sister! What was he going to do?
His face turned pale because of blood loss. He could only move a single finger as he stared at the darkness in a sense of loss.
Why did he fail? He still rembered his CE value that showed question marks. What did it an?
He frowned slightly, but after a while, he didn't even have the energy to frown anymore. He let out a weak breath and closed his eyes.
How good would it be—if he figured out what was up with his powers; if he could fight back; if he had enough energy to attack or blast the demon or sothing….
As soon as he thought, the power inside him surged out without a hint of stopping. It worked so fast that no one present could have imagined this to happen, not even Shane.
He didn't have ti to react when the dark cosmic power that leaked out of his body without reservations was already all around him, especially entering the demon's body at an alarming rate. The power was filled with an evil aura that could be enough to make anyone's knees weak.
The demon wasn't any different. His entire body, which was filled with power a while ago, felt weak as he fell to the ground. He stared at Shane in horror as his entire body got suppressed by a mysterious power all of a sudden.
This type of energy was so powerful that the demon wondered if Shane was a higher level monster in the garb of a system. As soon as he thought of that, he didn't even get the ti to find answers before the dark cosmic energy sparked the entire area out of the blue.
The entire scene almost felt like circuits of dark cosmic energy floated everywhere, with sparks of fire constantly flickering in between. It looked more like a thunder strike that was about to occur, creating a heavenly atmosphere. The demon stared at the scene in front of his eyes, and his eyes widened.
His entire body froze as he felt himself fortunate enough to witness this scene. Soon after that, the entire fog-like energy blasted, not leaving a single trace of the demon's body behind.
Shane, who was lying there, on the verge of losing his consciousness, saw from his half-closed eyes that the entire space transford from darkness to a small room filled with nothing but walls. Shane's teammates were still standing at the door in a dazed condition.
As soon as Tess saw Shane, she yelled, "Shane!"
Then she rushed toward her brother, but the latter was in no condition to respond. His eyes glanced at the sword attached to the wall. He frowned as he moved his hand. Even though he was winded and exhausted, he still felt that sothing was strange with his powers.
According to his body and stats, if he had ignored those question marks in front of CE, he shouldn't have been able to use his powers well. His stats had already decreased to the point that he should have fallen unconscious at this ti.
But he didn't.
Not only that, he also sohow ended up blasting the demon into nothingness. He could feel a trace of power running in his veins that disappeared without a trace. It seed as if his body couldn't carry such a trendous amount of power, and it disappeared after fulfilling Shane's wishes.
What the heck was happening?
