"Looks like I can also absorb energy from other races." Previously, when Desmond commanded the system to record the battle, all notifications disappeared.
Then he touched the demon's body, and a screen appeared.
[Did the Host want to absorb it Y/N ?]
Yes.
[Begin Absorbing…. | Time left : 23 sec ]
Desmond looked at the screen in front of him and frowned, "If this is the case, it will be difficult. I'll become a punching bag when absorbing."
Suddenly, he had a bright idea; he took the sword stuck in the demon's leg and cut off the demon's finger, putting the finger in his pocket, 'I hope it works... hope it works.'
[Did the Host want to absorb it Y/N ?]
[Begin Absorbing…. | Time left : 23 sec ]
Yes!!
*sigh* Desmond let out a breath and wiped his sweat. He then glanced at the remains of the other demon's corpse and did the same thing again.
After a few minutes waiting, the Desmond absorbing process is complete.
[Absorb Complete]

Desmond looked at his status, and his lips curled up, forming a wide grin," a bountiful harvest.
"Maybe I can slaughter more demons again." Greed appeared in his mind before suddenly, he remembered the scene that made him almost die.
"Let's wait a few years before harvesting again." Desmond's gaze was cold while releasing a murderous intent. He never forgives anyone that hurt his family, even if it was God.
Desmond then smelled an unpleasant aroma and saw that smell was coming from his pocket.
Desmond flinched; he threw the fingers away and covered his nose as he walked toward the outer city. "Looks like I need to take a shower."

-Border of North Kingdom-
At night in the forest, you can see two human figures hiding behind bushes. They seem to be watching a village far across the river.
The sound of the night wind and roars continued around them, but they remained unfazed, still watching the village with eyes glowing red.
* squeak * Suddenly, they heard the sound of scraping between the bushes behind them, turned around, and saw something approaching them through the bushes.
They stared at each other for a second before one of them got ready to activate the spell, and the other one held tightly to the grip of the sword at his waist.
A small ice spike appeared on the ground in front of them, ready to disrupt the enemy's movement, and an ice spear was hanging in the air. The other one unsheathed his sword, getting ready to launch an attack.
Time was running on, and finally, their wait was over. The bushes that had been swaying were crushed, and someone came out of the bush.
* creak * Like stepping on wood, the person's feet stepped on the small nail underneath.
* grunt * The person who had just arrived felt pain and looked down to see his feet stepping on an icy nail. While squatting to check his feet, suddenly, the hair on his shoulders shuddered. He looked up to see an ice spear targeting his eyes.
"Please stop, Master!!" he shouted with all his might while closing his eyes.
Those who intended to attack him canceled their intentions after seeing his uniform. The person was wearing the uniform of a soldier in the North Kingdom.
The soldier opened his eyes to see the ice spear still flying in mid-air. He also felt something in his stomach and saw that there was also a sword aimed there.
"I apologize for my impudence, but I have important news from Master Noel," he said. He sees the sword is drawn, the spear is in mid-air, and the nail in his shoes disappeared.
He sees a man and a woman come out from the shadows. The woman is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen while the man was very handsome, a perfect couple.
The woman saw that the soldier was daydreaming and became annoyed.
"Speak," she said in a cold tone, clearly not wanting to waste her time.
The soldier also shivered for a moment, "This is related to your child. I can only tell that the next information is in the hands of master Noel," replied the soldier, bowing his head without staring into the eyes of the woman.
There was silence. The atmosphere around the forest was quiet, making the soldier nervous, sweating, and continuously swallowing.
The silence broke when the man spoke, "Looks like this time it's a serious problem, honey."
The woman pondered a second before nodding, "You, guard, keep an eye on the village."
Her looks, coupled with her cold tone, made every person speaking to her fearful. They felt like her gaze could pierce straight into their hearts.
Instantly, the soldier replied, "Yes, Master!"

Inside the tent, Noel, sitting on a chair, frowned as she read the letter in her hand. The letter contained Desmond and Alice's every activity.
Since Bastian and Leona travel frequently, Noel has given her special forces a new task to disguise themselves and join the Bastian family's guard. Of course, this has received approval from both Bastian and Leona.
After waiting a few minutes, Noel looks towards the tent door and sees Bastian and Leona enter.
"Noel."
"Leona."
When she saw Leona, Noel immediately greeted her, and they hugged each other. Bastian, who saw this, only smiled awkwardly, not daring to do the same thing.
Leona then let go of her hug, and her gaze turned serious, "So how about Desmond and Alice?" Not only Leona but Bastian also looked seriously, not wanting to miss a single important detail.
"Your son Desmond has killed someone," Noel said with a hint of hesitation and looked at Leona, worried about her condition.
And sure enough, when Leona heard that her son had killed someone, she suddenly fell to the floor.
"Honey!" Bastian immediately checked his wife's condition and saw that his wife's lips and body were getting cold.
"Take control of your strength, dear, inhale, and exhale slowly."
Noel, who saw this, wanted to help, but he saw Bastian's hand stop him, "Please let me handle this," Bastian answered in a slightly cold tone without looking at Noel.
After a few minutes, Leona finally calmed down and then looked at Bastian, "Honey, remind me, how old is Desmond now?"
"3 years."
Leona gasped her breath. Before Leona spoke, Noel cut her off, "In this case, your son is not completely at fault."
When Leona heard this, her heart became relieved. She then stood up and looked at Noel.
"This is the case where Alice almost disappeared-"
"-Alice !!" This time, Bastian was shocked, and Leona also calmed him down.
"Calm down, this case is over, and they are both safe," After Noel said that, she saw that the couple were still worried.
"All right, I'll give you permission to take a week off from duty."
The couple froze before they hugged Noel tightly.
"Thank you, Noel. Thank you." 2x
For a moment, Leona realized Bastian's behavior. She then pinched Bastian's hips while saying, "What are you doing, honey?" with a smile.
"Hehe, this is just a thank you."
"Move out!"
"Ye-ss, yes."
