"Looks like I can also absorb energy from other races." Previously because Desmond commands the system to record the battle, all notifications disappear.

Then he touched the demon's body, and a screen appeared.

[Did the Host want to absorb it Y/N ?]

Yes.

[Begin Absorbing…. | Time left : 23 sec ]

Desmond looked at the screen in front of him and frowned, "If this is the case, it will be difficult. I'll become a punching bag when absorbing."

Suddenly he has a bright idea; he takes the sword stuck in the demon's leg and cuts off the demon's finger.

Desmond then put the finger in his pocket, 'I hope it works... hope it works.'

[Did the Host want to absorb it Y/N ?]

[Begin Absorbing…. | Time left : 23 sec ]

Yes!!

*sigh*Desmond let out a breath and wiped his sweat. Desmond then glances at the remains of the other demon's corpse, and he does the same thing again.

After a few minutes of waiting, the Desmond absorbing process is complete.

Desmond looked at his status, and his lips curled up, forming a wide grin," a bountiful harvest.

"Maybe I can slaughter more demons again," greed appeared in his mind before suddenly he remembered the scene that made him almost die.

"Let's wait a few years before harvesting again." Desmond's gaze is cold while releasing a murder intent. He never forgives anyone that hurt his family, even if that's god.

Desmond then smelled an unpleasant aroma and saw that smell was from his pocket.

Desmond flinched; he throws the fingers and covers his nose while walking toward the outer city."Looks like I need to take a shower."

-Border of North Kingdom-

At night in the forest, you can see two human figures hiding behind bushes. They seem to be watching a village far across the river.

The night wind and roars sound continued around them, but they remained unfazed, still watching the village with eyes glowing red.

* squeak * Suddenly, they heard the sound of scraping between the bushes behind them, turned around, and they saw something approaching them through the bushes.

They stared at each other for a second before one of them was getting ready to activate the spell, while the other one held tightly to the grip of the sword that was at his waist.

The ground in front of them suddenly appears a small ice spike ready to disrupt the enemy's movement and an ice spear hanging in the air while the other one unseats his sword, getting ready to launch an attack.

Time was running on, and finally, their wait was over. The bushes that had been swaying were crushed, and someone came out of the bush.

* creak * like stepping on wood, the person's feet were stepping on the small nail underneath.

* grunt * The person who just came out feels pain, and he looks down to see his feet stepping on an icing nail while squatting to check his feet; suddenly, the hair on his shoulders shuddered. He looks up and sees an ice spear targeting his eyes.

"Please stop, Master !!" With all his might, he shouts while closing his eyes.

Those who intended to attack him canceled their intentions after seeing his uniform. The person was wearing a uniform soldier in the North Kingdom.

The soldier then opens his eye and sees the ice spear is still flying in mid-air. He also feels something in his stomach and sees that there was also a sword aimed.

"I apologize for my impudence, but I got important news from Master Noel," after the soldier said he sees the sword is drawn and the spear in mid-air, the nail in his shoes disappeared.

He sees two people come out from the shadows. In the moonlight, he sees a pair of women and men. The woman is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen while the man was very handsome, a perfect couple.

The woman saw the soldier was daydreaming and became annoyed.

"Speak," she said in a cold tone, clearly not wanting to waste her time.

The soldier also shivered for a moment, "This is related to your child. I can only tell that the next information is in the hands of the master Noel," replied the soldier, bowing his head without staring into the eyes of the woman.

There was silence. The atmosphere around the forest was quiet, making the soldier nervous, sweating, and continuously swallowing.

The silence broke when the man spoke, "Looks like this time it's a serious problem, honey."

The woman pondered a second before nodding, "You, guard, and keep an eye on the village."

Her looks, coupled with her cold tone, made every person speak to hers became fearful. They felt like her gaze could pierce straight into their hearts.

Instantly, the soldier replied, "Yes, Master!"

Inside the tent, Noel, sitting on a chair, frowned as she read the letter in her hand. The letter contained Desmond and Alice's every activity.

Since Bastian and Leona travel frequently, Noel has given her special forces a new task to disguise themselves and join the Bastian family's guard. Of course, this has received approval from both Bastian and Leona.

After waiting a few minutes, Noel looks towards the tent door and sees Bastian and Leona enter.

"Noel."

"Leona."

When she saw Leona, Noel immediately greeted, and they hugged each other. Bastian, who saw this, only smiled awkwardly, not daring to do the same thing.

Leona then let go of her hug, and her gaze turned serious, "So how about Desmond and Alice?" not only Leona, Bastian also looked seriously, not wanting to miss a single important detail.

"Your son Desmond has killed someone," Noel said with a hint of hesitation and looked at Leona, worried about her condition.

And sure enough, when Leona heard that her son had killed someone, she suddenly fell to the floor.

"Honey!" Bastian immediately checked his wife's condition and saw that his wife's lips and body were getting cold.

"Take control of your strength, dear, inhale, and exhale slowly."

Noel, who saw this, wanted to help it, but he saw Bastian's hand stop him, "Please let me handle this," Bastian answered in a slightly cold tone without looking at Noel.

After a few minutes, Leona finally calmed down and then looked at Bastian, "Honey, remind me, how old is Desmond now?"

"3 years."

Leona gasped her breath. Before Leona spoke, Noel cut her off, "In this case, your son is not completely at fault."

When Leona heard this, her heart became relieved. She then stood up and looked at Noel.

"This is the case where Alice almost disappeared-"

"-Alice !!" This time, Bastian was shocked, and Leona also calmed him down.

"Calm down, this case is over, and they are both safe," After Noel said that, she saw that the two couples were still worried.

"All right, I'll give you permission to take a week off from duty."

The two couples froze before the two of them hugged Noel tightly.

"Thank you, Noel, Thank you." 2x

For a moment, Leona realized Bastian's behavior. She then pinched Bastian's hips while saying, "What are you doing, honey?" with a smile.

"Hehe, this is just a thank you."

"Move out!"

"Ye-ss, yes."
