Chapter 75—Powerful Demonic Magic
"Demonic Surge." Sli#47 invoked the true magic as black energy wrapped around his body.
Boom! Boom!
He vanished across the field.
[ Ding! Demonic Surge proficiency 1 ]
After a few seconds, he fell to the ground, panting. ’Back to a lack of resources... after thinking they were huge,’ he thought with irritation.
He ran out of demonic force, but he’d felt incredible power with Demonic Surge.
"I am fine," he muttered. He had thought he would be knocked out cold, like when he ran out of mana or aura, but it seed he was fine. ’It seems that as long as I have demonic force, even running out of mana and aura won’t knock unconscious.’
"My reserves are barely at one percent," he muttered, checking his recovering mana and aura. He had to combine them again to use demonic magic.
"Yeah... I cannot waste demonic force like this in battle. I have to be careful how I use it..."He began reshaping his battle style; Afterall in just a few seconds, his demonic force was completely drained.

Two days slipped by...

"Yeah... too tough to train," he muttered. He focused solely on grinding Demonic Surge, since he didn’t want to chew everything at once.
In the past few days, he had hidden in different farms just to avoid the eyes of the sli farm owners. He survived on water and the grasses grown in the fields, and he’d felt eating grass was way better than garbage. It was a grassy field, which never lacked grass.
He could have killed them and broken out of Oakfield village, but he didn’t do that.
He had evolved into Lesser Elental Sli ten days before. If he killed them and broke out, ’I would only get ten days, as armored soldiers would co check the village and inform the baron.’ He thought, planning.
It was best to follow the sa way as the 24th loop: kill the soldiers and break out.
----
Thud! Thud!
’Here they are.’ A grin crept across his face. He was excited to test his new power. He was at his strongest point.
Mama Sli didn’t set earth traps, as Young Sli requested not to. Elder Sli just gave a playful smile while lying on the ground with one eye open.
The bulky man entered. Whoosh! Young Sli flashed in front of the man and—Boom!—smashed his fist into his face without any boost or skill.
Bang!
The man’s head burst like a ripe fruit, crushed into pieces, with blood and brain matter splashing everywhere.
"Whoa..." Even Young Sli was surprised by his own power as he glanced at the headless man falling to the ground.
Before the other soldiers and kids could react—Wob!—he flashed in front of them and punched their heads one by one.
Leaving only collapsing, headless corpses behind.
But the slender armored woman dodged the fist with crimson aura flaring around her body.
Whoosh!
It didn’t matter. She t the sa fate as she couldn’t dodge the second punch
----
"Demonic Surge." He activated the demonic magic as Thud!—Thud!—the sli farm owner finally made his appearance.
But he didn’t engage in battle like Sli#47 imagined. He just dropped his weapons and pivoted to run away, then started throwing his armor parts one by one to get faster as his aura rose very high.
His movents shocked even Sli#47, as he didn’t expect him to run.
But boom! He didn’t even run a few ters as Young Sli flashed and punched him in the back.
Bam!
"This is ridiculous..." For the first ti, he truly felt his power, his mouth wide open. The sli farm owner’s body was brutally shattered into pieces of blood and dust as blood rained on the ground.
"I have only seen... this kind of gore in so... but now it’s in front of my eyes," he muttered, still with his mouth wide open.

He followed the sa pattern as the 24th loop: saving Oakfield villagers. While he gained the Saviour title, it was instantly devoured by his trait under his furious eyes.
’Should I save the wolves?’ he hesitated, but he decided against it. He still wasn’t sure about going up against the Dancing Lightning party and the captain who wielded a sealed artifact.
He then picked the sa adventurers again who appeared in Ruins City Lunxia to interrogate them. He didn’t know what Elder Sli discussed with them. He’d never felt more irritated by his inability to speak with humans.
----
’Can I go against them?’ he mused seriously, rembering the power he had felt in different loops—the tentacle that pierced his core at insane speed.

’Still... weak,’ he muttered. He was still powerless.
He’d yet to witness their full power, as they never unleashed their sealed artifacts!
In their basic state, they killed him without him being able to react multiple tis.
----
"Demonic Surge, Reinforced Body, Haste." He activated all his best boost skills.
"Elental Body, Blue Elental Variation." He then activated his favorite skill combo.
He turned into blue lightning, which was surrounded by black demonic energy.
Zip!
Crack—!
The violet barrier was finally broken. Under Sli#47’s warning, Elder Sli had already run away to the lower floors.
Zip!
He flashed in front of the octopus eldritch and activated, "Elental Fist."
His lightning body was condensed into a single fist, and further powered by the aura skill Elental Fist, as another layer of blue lightning ford on his already blue lightning fist.
Boom!
His fist struck the octopus’s head and—Bang!—it flew out, Boom!breaking the room’s back wall, and then Thud!—fell outside after flying a few hundred ters.
"..." Young Sli froze for a mont; less than a fraction of a second, but he couldn’t waste any ti. He flashed away—Whoosh!—dodging the spider leg that slashed at him.
Slash!
An energy blade made of fire rushed at him. ZZZ!He changed his shape into a sparrow and flapped his wings, flying away to dodge the fox’s attack.
Bang!
The blade split the room in two and flew forward, slicing everything in its way.
Young Sli glanced outside the fortress, which he hadn’t seen in any loop.
A ruined city of shattered houses, buildings, and a half-collapsed palace spread out before him.
Many buildings in the city had magic glyphs inscribed on them, but battles and ti had eroded them into aningless scribbles.
The blue roads on the ground cracked and shattered, showing the muddy floor below, but what remained was still very strong. It didn’t even have cracks over the area where the octopus landed; a building held him from going further.
"Roar!" The two monsters roared at Young Sli, baring their mouths.
End of the Chapter.
