…

'Wonderful.'

Although he was still a level away from the S-rank, the effects of the A-rank ability didn't disappoint him.

He put it to work instantly.

The serpentine devil saw something wriggling beneath Elliot's skin. Before it could make put what it was, eight needles came out of his back and then kept on expanding.

They extended outwards, charging towards the gray walls.

Puchi!

The needle-like ends of Elliot's devilish limb stabbed into the walls.

It was this scene that gave the serpentine devil a heart attack.

His devilish arm so easily pierced the gray walls that even his avatar failed to break apart.

This came as a surprise to Elliot.

Of course, this wasn't the only thing he wanted to do.

'Absorb.'

He wanted to absorb the gray walls.

The gray walls were the source of the seventh-level poison, and absorbing them would help his supernatural power evolve from the sixth level to the seventh!

The eight needles released a suction force and absorbed the walls layer by layer.

The gray walls thinned down at a rate visible to the serpentine devil's eyes.

"This bastard! He is sucking my poison as if it is honey! Mother fuck! I give up! I admit defeat!'

The serpentine devil raged quit.

The field-type hell's paradise vanished in the blink of an eye.

Elliot sighed, "Ah, things were just getting good."

Elliot, who failed to help his supernatural power advance to the next level, raised his head and stared at the projection of the serpentine devil.

"Thanks for helping me become more powerful."

He gave it a salute and a beaming smile.

The serpentine devil felt so awful that its face contorted, and its stomach churned; a belly full of rage ended up giving it a painful constipating on the spot.

The people who didn't know anything believed that Elliot must have once again thwarted the serpent's plan.

"We will meet again."

Throwing these words, the weak dog ran away.

The black clouds vanished, and the heavy pressure in the air disappeared with the wind.

Elliot started laughing at the top of his lungs.

He knew that it considered itself as a higher being that could kill and trample on others whenever it liked without any recursion, but now he had proven its wrong.

The great being had run away like a coward, appearing no different than a beaten-up dog!

The serpentine devil's projection disappeared, the eternal snow zone was greatly destroyed, but everyone was free from the trapping formation and saved from the evil plans of the serpentine devils.

At this point, the spirit forest finally regained its tranquility.

The projection on the screen vanished. The onlookers had watched enough, and it was no longer suitable for them to keep on seeing what was happening inside the settlement of the soul race. It was something decided by the soul of the barrier.

…

In the eternal snow zone, there was a cave. It was located deep inside the ground. The only way to reach it was to break the surface of the eternally frozen river and get to ten thousand feet underground. The cave was dimly lit. A man was sitting on a cushion and beside him were several sunflowers. A branch sprouting three dried fruit stood in the center of these flowers. The man held a tiny monster in his hands.

It was less than a meter tall, had three small horns on its head and two wings.

A woman with small golden hair was looking at the monster with a surprised look on her face.

"Master, I have brought the remnant of souls that you requested." The monster said before placing several blue shining crystals in Elliot's lap!

"Thank you."

He needed these remnants of souls to heal the nightmare mandrake and help his most precious evolve. Both of them had saved or helped him in one way or another, and Elliot wasn't an ungrateful dog. He was planning to repay them both. 

Thus, he had sent Grace to the other forest and told her to get them for him.

"I never thought that you would be able to change your form into something so cute." 

The blonde woman was Lucy, and she didn't hesitate before patting Grace.

"I-I am not cute."

Although she said that, Grace was weak to compliments, and it was shown completely on her face.

Suddenly, the sunflowers started swaying, and the dried fruit grew. 

"It's finally about to become fully riped!"

Elliot glanced back and exclaimed happily.

Three days had passed since Elliot defeated the serpentine devil and destroyed all of the barrier crystals. In these three days, a lot of things had happened. Elliot knew that the serpentine devils captured most magicians who came to explore this place. First off, he asked the beasts to help him locate them. In return, he used the life sword and several thousand units of the essence of life to regrow the eternal snow zone.

The serpent's poison had destroyed it. However, Elliot was also at fault as he was the one to summon it in someone's else home in the first place.. So, he didn't mind remaking the home of the living beings who were hurt because of him by using so many precious resources.
