Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

Shane moved his sword and quickly thrust it into the ground. His eyes glowed with dark energy as he stared coldly at the demon standing in front of him. For some reason, even though he couldn't see anything, he could still make out where the demon was standing through his intuition.

He could feel the demon's powers being directed at his friends. It almost felt like he could 'see' all the circuits for some reason that transferred the demonic power from the demon's body to Tess and the others standing at the entrance of this room. Shane blinked as he tilted his head. The vision disappeared, but he could still feel the demon's power surging in front of him, making Shane aware of every moment the other was making.

Just when did Shane get this ability?

He was stunned for a moment as he blinked and even pinched himself, but his powers remained the same. Then he narrowed his eyes and directed his focus toward the place where his friends were standing.

Since he was able to suck the demonic power through an array, he should be able to do the same with other arrays too! Even though he didn't know how he managed to suck the power, he could at least try to direct his focus toward the arrays in the distance, his first target being Tess.

Soon, cold, dark energy flowed out of his body and thrust into the ground through the sword. It quickly went toward Tess's direction in the blink of an eye. It didn't touch the girl. Rather, the energy jumped toward the array at such a fast speed that everything happened within a few milliseconds.

The demon didn't even get enough time to react when all of his powers started getting sucked away. He was stunned at this time as he stood there without moving. Then he moved his hands as he destroyed the arrays one after another and chuckled, "Good. I've finally gotten a worthy opponent after all these years!"

Soon after this, the demon pulled out a weapon instead of using arrays again and again. He knew that if he ended up using all his powers, he might end up getting emptied. Even if he couldn't use his powers, he still had other tools that could be useful against this peony system.

The latter didn't focus on his group mates, who had just woken up from a daze and were in a disorderly mental state after witnessing a horrific scene. They all fell to the ground and gasped loudly.

Shane took a deep breath and directed his indifferent glance toward the demon in front of him. Ah, if it weren't for the fact that he could feel the presence of the demon, he might not have been confident in his ability to defeat this thing.

Now, he had destroyed those arrays completely by sucking away all of its energy, but he still didn't know how to defeat this demon. The good thing was that this monster's powers wouldn't work on him anymore, but he couldn't say the same about physical attacks.

This was the first time he was able to feel the other's demonic powers. Was it because he spread his focus around him? He hadn't done this thing before.

His eyes narrowed at this time as he took a deep breath. Perhaps, there would be more things he could do with his powers. He might as well use this chance to explore his energy.

But before he could make a move and think more about it, he heard the other demon speaking, "Let's fight head-on without using skills. I challenge you."

Shane's body stiffened. What kind of nonsense was this demon talking about? Fighting without power? Like he would believe in the words of a demon!

The demon chuckled as if he could understand what Shane was thinking, "You don't have to believe me. I can just go and slash your friends with my sword. My speed is faster than you, whether you believe it or not. I'll kill them before you can even blink. Are you up for the challenge?"

Shane's hands gripped the hilt of his sword and raised his head, accurately meeting the demon's eyes. For a moment, the latter was shocked, standing in his frozen state for a few seconds before he shook the strange feeling off, "Let's go!"

Before Shane could even respond, the demon's flexible body moved and flashed in front of his eyes. He could see the face of this demon clearly, even if it was a fake body, Shane wouldn't be intimidated. He knew it was a demon, not a human being.

Shane raised his sword and circulated his power within his body to make himself stronger. He had long seen in many novels that protagonists would use their energies to strengthen their bodies. He didn't believe he couldn't do it too.

As soon as he thought of making himself stronger with his energy, the energy within his body worked at a faster rate as it entered every single cell in his body. His body became harder and stronger at the same time. The dark energy turned his body into iron with the strength of ten thousand elephants, as he thought of this in his head.

This happened in the blink of an eye as he raised his sword to block the attack.

The two swords collided with one another as sparks flew between them one after another. They stared at one another as a trace of surprise flashed within the demon's head.

What just happened? He was one of the strongest demons here, belonging to level fifty! How could this little system that was level zero block his attack so brazenly like this?

He stared at the scene in front of him with widened eyes as his expression became serious. He chuckled lightly and said, "Let's have some fun. It looks like you're hiding more secrets than I thought."

Shane thought inwardly, 'It's not secrets. I've just read too many fantasy novels.'

But it's not like he would say these words to the demon in front of him. He stayed silent and tried to make himself look cool and indifferent, but he failed desperately. His expressions became awkward to the point that even the demon tilted his head and asked, "What are you staring at?!"

Shane lowered his head and cleared his throat, "Nothing…."

Subsequently, he backed up and attacked again. The two people then didn't exchange any pleasantries and continued to fight in what could be described as a beautiful dance. Even though they were fighting, their moves were filled with grace. If one looked carefully at Shane's sword fighting skills, they would realize how awkward he actually was!

Still, the two stayed on the same level. It was just that Shane felt his energy draining in the blink of an eye. Sure enough, being at level zero could only give him momentary benefits. It had just been a few seconds, but all of his powers were sucked away by his body as soon as he raised his sword against this demon! Damn it!

He wiped his forehead as he tried to hide a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

What should he do?
