Chapter 43 43: Demon Flesh Is Nutritious



"..."

"The demon must have taken over your body, there's no way a human can defeat a demon."

Yoze was speechless seeing Jewel's suspicious glare. 

"You just watched everything unfold. When would the demon have had time to take over my body? Also, why would I stop the Demon's real body from killing you?"

"You make a good point," Jewel muttered as she put away her suspicious glare. 

She was half convinced in Yoze's logic and her realizing that even if Yoze was taken over by a demon for some master plan she had to go along with it anyways or she would be killed.

Seeing that Jewel no longer suspected him of being a demon, Yoze walked to the Serpent Demon's unconscious body. Looking at the Serpent Demon's long body and scales that were hardly damaged from the impact, Yoze guessed that if the demon faced up against an ordinary peak first-rate martial artist it would have won by a landslide.

While the newborn serpent demon had much of its own life spiritual energy stolen and was stuck at having the strength of a first-rate martial artist. Its demon physiologie still gave it a huge advantage compared to humans.

"Is it dead? Let's just get out of here before the demon wakes up." Watching Yoze examine the demon's body, Jewel wanted to know if a miracle had happened but changed her mind as she did not dare to think that demons could be killed so easily.

"Okay let's go."

After confirming that the Serpent Demon wasn't dead, Yoze agreed with Jewel's suggestion that they needed to leave soon.

After coming back to the cave's entrance, Yoze and Jewel were greeted by the delicious aroma of stew and saw that his father had been preparing dinner while they were away. Even though it had only been a few hours during their mini adventure so much had changed and Yoze was ready to eat.

"Dad, we are back." 

"Yoze, Jewel you two are finally back. Leah and I were beginning to worry that something terrible had happened. But it's good that..." Drew felt his shoulders relax hearing his son's voice and turned around to face him but froze as he saw something truly evil.

"..."

"Yoze, what is that monster you're dragging behind you?" Drew looked at the ten feet long snake-like creature that Yoze was casually dragging with him.

"This is a demon dad. Jewel and I found a demon egg inside the cave and this guy came out of the egg. Luckily, it didn't seem very strong so I knocked it out."  Lifting the demon's tail as if he was showing the fish he had caught, Yoze smiled to see his Dad's and Leah's shocked complexions.

"A demon! Is it dead?"

"No, "

"Why didn't you leave it at the back of the cave?"

"It would be such a waste of its potential to leave it in the cave. Plus, what if it chases us down by our scent?  Then it would be safer for us to keep it in check before we eat it. "

Drew didn't know what to say to Yoze's logic and turned to Jewel who had the same look of helplessness on her face.

"I tried to tell him we should leave this dangerous demon behind and run but he insisted that we keep it for at least two days."

"Let's eat first before we start walking again."

Noticing that the rain was beginning to clear up, Yoze said that they should begin their voyage after they are to regain their strength.

2 days later Yoze and his group were seen walking outside one of the few passways. After being stalled by the passage's unpredictable weather Yoze and the gang were finally able to escape and make it to the other side of the Charred Sword Mountain Range.

And Yoze was relishing his new talents and cheat interface to mind the dead demon he was dragging behind him.

[Second Best System]

[Name: Yoze]

[Age: 22 ]

[Talents Categories: Comprehension Talents, Physical Talents, Martial Arts Talents, Spiritual Talents, Other Talents]

[Techniques: Twin Fists (Rank 4: 99%),  Big Golem(Level 5: 100%), Mindless Legs (Stage 5: 100%), Blood Fist (Perfection level: 200%), 

Twin Blood Fists (Perfection level: 200%), Mindless Blood Legs(Perfection level: 200%)]

[Talent Mark: 0 (21 hours remaining)]

Pulling up his cheat, Yoze ignored his techniques which were all nearly maxed out in favor of the new talent category.

[Spiritual Talents: Spiritual Sensing (Grade 5), Spiritual Speech (Grade 4), Serpent Spiritual Body Cultivation (Grade 9)]

In just a few days Yoze was able to increase his talent in the spiritual world. Yoze's senses have drastically improved to sense the slight difference in all things spiritual. 

Yoze placed especially more attention on his dad when he saw something amazing. Above his father's head was a small green flame that was being corroded by a black mist which grew bit by bit as it swallowed more of his father's green flame.

What made him feel grief was more than 75 percent of the green flame was corroded by the black mist that Yoze recognized as the stench of death.

"Does anyone want to have an early lunch?"

With his mood plummeting from thinking about his father's impending death, Yoze felt that dragging a dead demon's corpse he killed a few hours ago wasn't a good idea. So he wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible but he did not want to just throw the demon's body away.

He had long heard stories that the bodies of demons had magical effects on improving the body. So he wanted to test out this rumor and see if a demon's flesh that had just been born would taste as bad as the stories said.

"That sounds like a good idea, after being stuck inside the passage for two days I want to have a good meal to celebrate." Jewel agreed with Yoze's proposal as she knew that lunch was going to be a rare delicacy.

Stepping out of his carriage with a knife in hand, Drew walked directly toward the demon as he was prepared to make a great dish from the demon's flesh.
