Worldly Overlord

Some minutes ago, Devon had woken up and saw the battle between Mae and the sword user. He could tell the sword user was stronger than Mae even after she took the pill.

He saw the other assassin's weapon beside him on the ground.

Devon picked the blade up and got up. He felt he was being compelled once again, he then walked toward the sword user, surprisingly the Assassin didn't notice someone was coming at him from behind.

Just when the sword user was about to slash Mae.

He walked behind the assassin and pierced him right through his chest.

It reminded him of the feeling he got when he placed his hand on the body of that old man. A pleasure he had never felt before.

Mae was unconscious during the whole process.

Devon didn't know what he was doing at the moment, He only knew that he was absorbing something from the assassin's body, and he enjoyed it.

He could tell that it was bad, but it felt so good that he couldn't stop it.

After a short while...

Mae was awake, she got up from the ground wondering what had just happened. She saw the blade used on the floor, but what she saw of the sword user was just piles of bone.

At the front of the pile of bone was the boy she met at the cave.

"What did you do?"

Mae stared at him, with a look that could kill. She knew someone who could do this was definitely not an ordinary person.

"I just got up also, and I saw him like this."

After coming up with a perfect excuse, he told her with his face down, making it look like he was innocent. The truth was he was about to go over to the blade user's body and do the same thing to him also.

Mae didn't doubt what he said, he looked so innocent, she knew there was no lack of extraordinary things in this world. The world was always evolving, it could have been anything.

"Why don't you come with me, since you don't have anywhere to stay?

She could feel there was something special about the boy in front of her. He could either be the rise or downfall of her family, but either way she was ready to risk it.

"No"

Devon answered immediately without giving it any thought. He knew if he said yes, it will make her think he had a motive. Furthermore, he could tell she still had not trusted him fully, she was having some doubt about the whole matter. So, he rejected her immediately, clearing everything up.

A smile appeared on Mae's face, that was the reply she wanted. If he had said otherwise, she would have killed him immediately.

"I'm Mae Silas, daughter of Nicholas Silas and a member of the All Heaven Alliance."

"I would like to invite you to join the Heaven Alliance."

Devon was shocked at first, didn't he just meet a member of All Heaven Alliance some days ago. He managed to regain his composure quickly, not making her suspect anything.

He never thought it could be this easy for him. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

The Voice only told him to save Mae from getting raped, but he was sure that wasn't all. There was something else.

"AHH! Why me? I'm just an ordinary mortal."

"I can't even absorb celestial energy."

"I can't even..."

Devon started to list out different reasons why he was not worthy of her invitation.

He decided to play a little hard to get with her.

If the Voice was not asleep, I could bet he would be laughing his ass out right now.

"Well, no one was born great, everybody started from somewhere. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you."

Mae looked at him with an eye full of hope, she was like a kid who couldn't wait to receive her favorite toy.

"So, what is your answer?"

This time Devon's face was down not because this was his first time talking to a woman after his mother and sister but because he knew if he raised his head he would burst out laughing.

This woman was just too gullible.

Devon knew there was something different about him after absorbing that man whole body remaining only a pile of bone, he felt something changed in his body.

"Yes, I would like to join the All Heaven Alliance."

"That's good, let's find somewhere to spend the night then we move tomorrow."

Mae was excited when he accepted her invite. She had always wanted to prove herself to her father and make him realize that he made the wrong decision by choosing her brother over her.

By bringing in a talented person to join her Alliance, she had proved to her father that she wasn't useless.

At least she was good at scouting for

talent.

"Okay"

Side Task 023 completed: Kill your first Human.

Side Task 028 Completed: Accept Mae's invitation to All Heaven Alliance.

Side Task 031 Completed: Absorb a human completely.

"The reward will be distributed only after completing the Main Task."

........

A huge eye opened through space, it was brimming with deadly energy. The eye seemed to be searching for something because it scanned through the whole area. After a while, it closed shut.

The Banished Area...

Inside the cave.

The baby was still chained to the ground, but the orb moving around was no longer seven, it had become five. The baby's hands were beginning to move, it was like something was stopping him from waking up.

The two men who were standing at the entrance earlier had returned they walked in, following them was an old woman in white.
