With each death, the spiritual energy of the villagers was absorbed into the demon's body to be torn to shreds and used to feed its spiritual energy. Yoze could even see that the Elephant demon's eye glimmered with a slightly darker shade of blue with each spiritual energy that it devoured as its pressure became slightly heavier.

"Boom!"

Suddenly hearing a sonic boom right next to him, Yoze turned to see that all the soldiers had left him and Jackson behind. As they instantly reached the village, launching a coordinated attack on the Elephant demon.

Noticing that new prey had entered its footsteps the Elephant demon's eyes glimmered with deep blue sparkles. 

The Elephant demon's speed was faster than Timothy and River expected as they ran straight towards the demon to restrain it while the others attacked it from its back. But ignoring common sense, the Elephant demon was much faster than any of them. With a swing of its trunk that was as thick as a bucket, it slammed into both Timothy and River's chests, sending them flying.

Without pause, the Elephant demon stood up on its two hind legs before stomping the ground with its full weight of over 100 tons. The earth shattered and collapsed causing the others to be unable to maneuver around the demon.

"Tik tik tik tik,"

There was one exception: a bloody haze circled the elephant and covered one of the demon's legs. The sound of rapidly clashing metals filled the air but before anyone could get excited the elephant demon kicked the bloody haze with its freed foot.

"Bang!"

The power behind that kick broke the blood master's bones and his bloody haze faded away as he was only living by a thread thanks to his strong vitality.

In less than a second over 10 Blood Masters were pushed back by the demon and weren't even able to damage its skin.

With his ribs broken, Timothy tried to stand up to go support his friends and protect the village people. But the sensation of his broken bones ripping apart his insides sent him falling back onto his knees even with the help of his body damage absorption talent allowing him to take more damage than anyone else.

"Damn it! Why the hell are demons so strong? It has nearly wiped us out with such ease." River gritted her teeth as she watched her friends get nearly killed. 

A strange hopelessness filled everyone's hearts as the Elephant demon began to restart its harvest. This time focusing on devouring the spiritual energy of the 10 blood masters that had entered its plate.

The Elephant demon's eyes focused on the several blood masters that were on the ground, planning to stomp them into a meat paste but stopped short when it sensed a fellow demon nearby. 

Standing a few feet away from the elephant demon was Yoze who was about to step into the fight but stopped seeing that the Elephant demon's attention had shifted to him.

Staring at the elephant demon Yoze was able to admire how massive this demon was. It stood more than 20 feet tall and its weight was in the hundreds of tons. Comparing a human to this demon was like comparing a baby to the tallest man in the world.

However, others might be frightened by the thought of fighting a demon but Yoze felt his heart pounding as he felt a sense of danger he hadn't felt in a long time. He could finally find out how strong he truly was and see if he had the qualifications to begin his demon hunt.

The Elephant demon simply stared at Yoze and its eyes sparkled with intense blue light as if it was trying to communicate something to Yoze.  

"Has it mistaken me for a demon? Does it want to tell me that I entered its territory and should bug off?" Yoze's thoughts ran wild as he tried to figure out the demon's message before settling on what made the most sense.

"It doesn't matter, I'm going to kill you today," Yoze said, shaking his head at the Elephant demon. 

Yoze was not planning on sparing the Elephant demon as he did with the Fox demon at the Eternal Burning Lake Festival. Back then he was surprised to see that demon and it seemed to Yoze that he wasn't planning on hurting any innocent people during the festival. Yoze also lacked the confidence he had now about his strength to kill demons back then and left soon afterward.

Even though others might think that talking to demons was useless Yoze knew that creatures that had Spiritual Speech talent also had some understanding of languages so he guessed that the Elephant demon could understand his general meaning.

"Roar!"

Regardless of whether the Elephant demon understood Yoze's announcement, its eyes glimmered a deeper shade of blue as it roared from its mouth. The Elephant demon then vanished from the point of view of the Villagers who had run to seek shelter from the soldiers.

In the Blood Masters' eyes, they barely saw a blur moving past their line of sight before slamming into Yoze. However, they didn't expect to see Yoze suddenly growing an extra 5 inches of height, ending up close to 7 feet tall, due to his sudden growth his armor was forced to stretch and nearly broke.

Even more shocking, they watched as the Elephant demon narrowly missed Yoze. The Elephant demon made a sharp turn and charged at Yoze again, ending up missing again.

Timothy, River, and the rest of the soldier's jaws drop as they watch the deadly demon that was able to easily kill them being led around by its nose.

"Wait, he is leading the Elephant Demon out of the village! We can't be sitting on our asses waiting for Yoze, everyone follows my orders and get as many people out of here." Timothy's eyes flashed as he noticed that Yoze and the Elephant demon were quickly leaving the village and towards the forest and gave out orders to the rest of the blood masters who still could move.
