Healing System

It did not take long for Michael to arrive and the sight before him sent a chill down his spine.

There were heaps of demonic corpse, most of which exuded that nasty chaotic aura and seeped together with the surroundings.

For some reason, ever since first feeling that type of mana, he hated it. Michael assumed that maybe it was the opposite of his light affinity or something.

Darkness is the opposite to light, chaos is a bit different. You don't have to worry about the specifics for now though, just go deal with the little shits down there already.

'Right' Michael nodded and glanced a bit to the side. There was a giant circle that radiated chaotic mana and there were a bunch of imps gathered all around it.

'Is that where they are summoning the demon from?' Michael asked as he slowly made his way down, from what he could feel, there was no demon yet, as if no connection had been established.

The chaotic mana earlier was most likely from the place where the little imps were trying to summon the demon from.

But it did feel a bit strange, whereas the imps had mana that was just a tiny bit similar to Adam and Eve's, the place on the other side of the magic circle radiated mana that felt as if he standing right before them all over again.

It's the demonic realm where most, if not all demons reside, it is only natural for you to feel familiarity since the demons are like the children of Adam and Eve, or more like only Adam, the bastard was able to create demons just from his mana alone. Meanwhile, Eve was not too keen on it, so she just handled the logistical affairs.

Michael listened attentively to the new information, it seemed like the imps, demons and Adam were more deeply connected than he had anticipated.

But there was still one question in his mind 'What about Baldor?'

Cain is his name now, I have met him and he is not the same person as the one you saw in the Halls of Reflection. He is just like those demons, except, he is practically immortal, even I couldn't kill him.

'...I see' Michael waved his hand effortlessly and every single imp before his eyes had their heads pierced. Due to the light affinity, he immediately purified them, no corpses made from mana were remaining.

However, the magic circle had not died down yet, in fact, it seemed like it had grown stronger. The chaotic mana became even more chaotic after the deaths of the imps.

And then, another wave of that wretched mana assaulted him, but this time, he could feel a presence behind it, it was not just pure chaotic mana anymore.

There was an individual who was sending out that mana and whoever it was, their strength was leaps and bounds above Michael's.

'System..? Shouldn't I just take the two and run? There's no way I can kill something like that.'

Demons can't physically enter lower worlds, this one would be sending like a puppet made out of mana, one that was similar to the imps. There are special circumstances where they can, but it's more of a descent, meaning it is limited.

'Hmm... so do I just wait for it to appear? Can't I.. you know? Stop it?' Michael wondered and walked around the magic circle, there were all sorts of engravings around it that he could not quite understand.

But nonetheless, he felt like he could disrupt it since the engravings were glowing and radiating a tiny amount of mana, meaning, in theory, he could possibly disrupt it.

You can, and quite easily at that, however, it would be better for you to fight the demon to get more accustomed to their style of fighting. You will be encountering quite a lot of them in the future since you are like my successor and all.

'What is the point though? Isn't the demon going to be severely weakened anyway?' He could not understand the reason behind the system's insistence. If this puppet demon was similar to the imps, couldn't he just simply kill it with a wave of his hand?

Demons are different from imps. Even if they are extremely weakened and are puppets, their combat style as well as physical endurance more than makes up for the lack of strength.

'If you say so..' Michael sighed and sat down on his sword, just slightly above the ground.

Look, don't feel too discouraged, I am doing this for a reason, alright?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

'Right right, of course you are' He rolled his eyes and began forming a small couch out of the swords, using his mana clothing ability as if he were making some sort of mattress.

...You could just go check up on Kevin and Elizabeth instead.

Michael glanced to the side a bit and saw Kevin who had fallen to the ground right next to Elizabeth. All things considered, he was not injured, only exhausted.

He cast purify on Elizabeth and then a couple of heals on the two of them just in case.

Just as he had done so, he turned back around and noticed the chaotic mana intensifying further and condensing a small figure right in the very middle of the magic circle.

The figure slowly began forming its own body, shaping into that of a humanoid, yet it had a pair of black horns and its skin was a light shade of red.

There were also two pale white dots on the demon's head, but Michael did not pay much attention to that.

Hmm... be on guard against this one.

Michael tilted his head at the system's words and locked eyes with the demon, its eyes were a dark golden color. It did not feel very pleasant to look at for some reason.

He gauged the demon's strength and it seemed to be around Michael's, Lower Tier 2.

Yet the chaotic mana it released felt a bit odd, as if there was more to it, a different kind of mana that completely drowned out the chaos.

Demonic mana, the more pureblood a demon is, the more chaos its mana contains.

'I see' Michael began walking up to the demon, he made sure his shields were up so he would not get killed instantly.

He arrived right in front of it and it did not seem to react to his presence, that was until another burst of mana shot through the magic circle and engulfed the demonic puppet.

Immediately, the pressure increased by many folds, as if the being he felt through the magic circle was right before him, however, he knew that was not the case. Its strength remained the same, Lower Tier 2.

However, the demon tilted its head and suddenly began talking "You remind me of those pigeons; are you a descendant of theirs?" Its tone held no visible malice.

Michael could tell that it did not ask that question with mere curiosity, it was more of a confirmation.

But nonetheless, he had not planned on talking it out with the demon anyway, he planned on letting it go through the magic circle and then, killing it.

"And If I am?"
