The Demon's Abode is one of the most dangerous Tier 4 Forbidden Zones in the Eastern region of the Northern Union. It isn't far from Arcadian City. From Klaus's research, he discovered that only Sages dared enter this place. A Saint would be sending themselves to their death unless they had absolute trust in their abilities and survival instincts.
According to what Klaus had learned, the Demon Abode houses all kinds of terrifying creatures, including a special variant of Zombies known as Darkblood Demon Zombies. These Zombies wield both darkness and blood as their primary elements, relying on these forces to fuel their abilities.
From what he read online, the Darkblood Demon Zombies were far more powerful than the average Zombie. They were faster and had remarkable regeneration abilities. However, they were also hideous.
Unlike the White Zombies, which retained some eerie attraction, these Darkblood Demons were truly grotesque, the way one might imagine a classic Zombie to look.
Klaus also learned that these Zombies didn't just feast on humans. They hunted monsters too, making them much stronger than even the White Zombies or the Voltox Zombies from the Arcadian Mine invasion. This new information made it clear that the Demon's Abode was no place for the faint-hearted.
It would be the perfect challenge. The perfect place for Klaus who is anything but a normal warrior.
His status page looks good but needed to push further if he wants to keep up with the growing threats surrounding him.

Somewhere deep inside the Demon Abode, on a large platform surrounded by seven towering pillars, a creature stood still watching the work going on around it.
It was nearly 3 meters tall, with a twisted mix of human and decaying monster features. Its skin is dark, and a single horn jutted from its forehead. Its dark red eyes glowed faintly. It's muscular and even one of its hands was large enough to rival the size of an adult's thigh.
It watched as offerings were placed beneath each pillar. After a moment, the creature turned and walked toward a massive cave entrance, each step inciting heavy thuds.
"How are the preparations?" A feminine voice, cold and commanding, echoed through the darkness making the ugly creature stop and bow slightly.
"My Princess, the ritual offerings are almost ready. All that remains is to wait for the red moon to rise, and we can begin."
"Good," she replied. "Make sure nothing goes wrong. We've invested much into this ritual, and the Empress is expecting results."

The dark creature bowed once more before leaving. As soon as it was gone, a smirk formed in the shadows.
"Those Voltox fools couldn't complete a single task. This time, out of the 69 Zombie Strongholds, I will prove to everyone that the Darkblood Demon Zombies are worthy of standing by the Queen's side in her conquest."
Her smirk grew wider, her disdain echoing in the empty cave.

Meanwhile, back in the forest where Klaus was farming Exp points and sharpening his mind, thousands of monsters lay dead, each with a single hole through their vitals.
Klaus had recently added 400 points to his Intelligence, making his mental training far more effective. The Void Piercing Needle continuously flashed through the forest, piercing monster after monster with lethal precision.
He had already accumulated over 20 million points, but it wasn't enough. He needed more, so he never stopped killing. Eight hours later, his total reached 30 million points, leaving only a little more before he could finally level up.
Suddenly, a deep, heavy roar tore through the thick forest, followed by the surge of a powerful aura that threatened to crash every soul around. Klaus, unaffected by this aura smiles.
"Finally," he muttered, "a Devil has appeared."
