Chapter 231 First heart? Replenishing Abyss Energy!

Chapter 231

'If I leave them be for some time, they will most probably think that the human intruder has left the city and won't stay here long. In that time, I can prepare as well.'

Oliver thought to himself as he watched Sera, deep in thought, her eyes closed as if contemplating something.

A few minutes later, she too left the abandoned temple.

Oliver's muscles tensed, but he maintained his calm, waiting until her footsteps faded completely. Only then did he discreetly move to the back of the temple rather than following her. For all he knew, there might be more demons lurking around the vicinity.

He also had to think about the problem of his unique scent; he had to somehow mask it. He had been careless and didn't consider, in his excitement, that there could be demons adept at such detection.

Even if he had anticipated it, he wouldn't have expected to encounter such skilled demons so early after arriving in their lands.

'I was too excited when I first arrived here... thought I could outsmart every demon in my path,' he silently chastised himself as he lowered the Abyss energy to a minimum. His already low reserves were even more depleted now that he had been using it to conceal himself.

'Wait, Abyss energy...'

Combined with the [Cloak of Darkness], it would work decently now that he was some distance from the demons.

A small black bottle suddenly appeared in his hand, its surface smooth and matte as his storage bracelet glinted in the faint light seeping into the temple.

Pop!

With a popping sound, he opened the lid of the bottle and swiftly poured the contents over his head, specifically onto his hair.

After the liquid was completely absorbed into his hair, he began rubbing it like shampoo, and in a matter of seconds, his pristine white hair began to darken, ultimately becoming black!

His reflection in a shard of broken glass revealed someone else entirely. Gone was the unmistakable mark of the Mystic Purge Clan heir.

This was a special hair dye he had bought long ago in case of emergencies like this. He didn't want any demon to recognize his identity at any cost. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The woman, Sera, knew about his mother, Ophelia, the Death Witch. She must have a lot of information on the Mystic Purge Clan as well. His white hair would definitely give him away to demons like her.

Now, with his hair completely black, he looked entirely different from before.

Not to mention, very few people had seen his face, so it would be hard to recognize him from afar, especially in the demon lands.

He felt hot, as if something within him was constantly changing while he focused on controlling his psyche.

While Oliver was alone, focusing on maintaining control, a subtle change occurred. His form flickered for a moment, and his pristine white skin turned pitch black, almost resembling the chimera he had exorcised when it was just born.

His fingers twitched involuntarily, curling into claws for a split second before returning to their normal form.

The transformation was brief, lasting less than an instant, before returning to normal, with his smooth white skin restored.

Oliver didn't notice the change, as he was too focused on his mind.

But something had definitely occurred at a deep level. What exactly?

He hadn't the faintest idea.

"My Abyss energy is overflowing now."

Oliver let out a satisfied grin as he felt the Abyss energy flooding his body. Not only had it recovered, but it also seemed to have increased by a whole level.
