Chapter 187 Demon Summoning!!!



Other than demon summoning The Chaos Necklace has another terrifying feature. As its names suggest, ensuring Chaos. All mortal beings without mental strength that are not strong enough to resist the effect of Chaos Necklace will have their minds corrupted with negative thoughts.

Any negative thought will highly amplify itself and affect the individual's rationality. All their negative emotions take control over their rationality and end up destroying themselves and the people close to them.

The same was the case for the timid Ben who had been a victim of bullying. When he came in contact with the red energy, all his negative emotions flared up and his rationale considered his actions to be a justified and heroic act. Similar cases were happening all around them.

Ben wasn't awakened, but he still killed his friends. What will happen when people with abilities get affected by it?

"AHHHHH."

"Run, these people are madmen."

"Wh-Why are you doing this? Aren't we friends?"

"Who is your friend? You took my job and married my crush."

"Husband, don't do this. I'm pregnant." The woman cried pitifully.

"I never wanted a child."

"AAAHHH."

"Mom, what's going on?"

"Oh, shut up." The woman slammed her hand on the little kid.

But the cruelest were the awakeneds who had the powers and got their minds corrupted by coming in contact with the demonic energy.

The demonic energy didn't demonize them, instead just corrupted the mind of whoever tried crossing the barrier.

Suddenly, someone with a sharp eye noticed something and shouted.

"Everyone! Don't get close to the barrier. It is probably the effect of that red energy. They are being controlled."

Hearing this, many people realized that seems to be the case. Now everyone started maintaining distance from the barrier and the people who came in contact with the barrier.

"Then how will we escape?"

"Do we have any choice at this moment?"

Everyone was in despair, as there was no escape left for them.

There was no escape for them and they didn't know what fate awaited them if they stayed in the city.

"Oh God, please save us." A priest wearing a robe prayed with tears in his eyes.

Above the Labyrinth, an ominous red portal appeared, and suddenly the entire city was shrouded in eerie silence.

*Screech*

A shrill cry sounded, and a moment later the Labyrinth started transforming. The previous tower started changing shape and took a demonic form. An eerie castle would be a more suitable description.

Nearby buildings were destroyed, and many lives perished when the Labyrinth started changing shape.

In a moment, many creatures came out of the labyrinth ready to ensure Chaos and destruction.

Dark red skin, and two horns atop their heads. Face with the mixture of human and ox. Size is far bigger than that of an average human adult. Their muscular, buff humanoid bodies. With an aura full of bloodlust. As if they couldn't wait to unleash their craziness. Destroying everything in their way.

Above all, at the top of the newly formed castle. A humanoid creature was sitting on a skeleton-made throne and in front of him stood the same green-haired boy who activated the Chaos Necklace.

But he had some differences from others. As his looks were mostly human if you ignore his red skin color, horns, and immense chaotic power inside him.

"My Lord, welcome to this world. I, Lucian, am your humble servant. You may use me as you wish." The green-haired boy named Lucian introduced himself.

Suddenly, he was pressed down by immense pressure. Those dark red pupils stared at Lucian as if looking at his soul.

Lucian was already on his knees while still bearing the pressure. He didn't complain one bit.

It continued for some time, then the pressure reduced.

"Weak. Too weak." The demon said, shaking his head in disappointment.

Lucian was well aware of his weakness, so he didn't deny it. Though the demon talked in a demonic language, Lucian was able to understand it perfectly. Maybe this was the effect of universal language ability given by the status boards.

"Well, it doesn't matter. At least you will be of some use."

"Tell me about this world."

With that, Lucian started describing all the details he had about the current world.

"Interesting, very interesting. So those inferior rats who disappeared from Astoria are hiding on this unknown planet you call Earth, and it's only recently that this world accessed mana."

A creepy grin formed on the demon's face, and he said.

"In that case, maybe I can enjoy my time here."

***

Shin and Alice were trying to understand the chaos outside the hotel. They can still find people trying to get out of the city.

"Enhanced senses, Magic eyes." Activating them together, Shin tried to get a better understanding of the situation.

He still wasn't used to Enhanced senses so his range was limited. But he could see a side of the barrier and understood their escape was blocked.

"There's no escape." Hearing this, Alice didn't show much of a reaction. Because she also had a feeling, this might be the case.

Shin thought of something and asked, "Alice, do you think with your ability you could absorb the energy or take down the barrier?"

Alice shook her head in denial. "I can't. This barrier is extremely stable. So we first need to find the source of the energy. Only then maybe I could do something."

Shin nodded his head in understanding. Taking Alice and flying above the city with invisibility, they saw the situation of the city.

"It's terrible."

When Shin saw the portal, he immediately understood.

'That means it is the effect of Chaos Necklace, but how did that thing come out so quickly?'

He gritted his head, thinking. 'Which shit-head will summon a demon out of nowhere?'

An answer came to his mind. He was certain that they would not blink an eye while killing the citizens.

'The Demon worshippers.'

'If those lunatics are going around this early, then it's a very big problem.'

'But if they really summoned demons, things will get a lot troublesome.'
