Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Returning to the Sewers, The Mythic Rank Demon
“Hey everyone, my phone died and I was looking for a charger, which took about a minute. Where did Aiden go? What happened?” a comment flashed across the screen.
“You missed an amazing fight! Aiden just killed tons of Demons, including a Legendary Rank genius!” another viewer replied.
“Are you kidding me? I only missed a minute. How could it be over so fast?”
“Did you notice? The little woods in the video are gone. Aiden’s skills destroyed them all.”
“What? Really? Wow… the battle ended in just one minute?”
“So Aiden actually found the Demons that attacked us and wiped them all out? Replay! Did anyone screen record this? I need to see the replay, please!”
One minute isn’t enough to do much, so the audience couldn’t imagine that Aiden had truly located the Demons attacking them.
In such a short time, he had eliminated every single one, including that Legendary Rank genius.
Remember, so far, only Aiden had successfully hunted down a Demon genius.
The morale that had dropped because of the Scorpion-Tailed Demon instantly soared!
Millions of viewers cheered from their homes. In just five or six minutes, Aiden’s TikTok following had skyrocketed to nearly 30 million and was still growing!
It was unheard of for an account with zero videos to have nearly 30 million fans.
Meanwhile, moving quickly through the shadows, Aiden took a moment to check the stats of the Blackfire Cloak.
[Blackfire Cloak: Legendary Rank. A cloak woven from mysterious and dangerous black fire. Grants +3000 Spirit, +3000 Agility, +20,000 HP, +20% Movement Speed, and +30% Magic Defense. It consumes a large amount of mana to activate Blackfire Embrace and Blackfire Barrier.
Blackfire Embrace: The fire from the cloak spreads over the user’s body, increasing skill attack range by 20% and healing rate by 20%. All mana consumed while this effect is active is temporarily converted into Spirit. Duration: 3 minutes.
Blackfire Barrier: The cloak forms an incredibly sturdy barrier. Once the barrier shatters, the black fire spreads around the user, boosting damage by 20% and reducing mana cost by 20% for the next fire-based skill cast.]
After reading the details of the Blackfire Cloak, Aiden didn’t hesitate. He immediately took off his current the Abyss the Flame Demon cloak and put on the new one.
He glanced at his reflection and felt very satisfied.
This cloak was not only stronger than the Abyss the Flame Demon cloak, but it also looked far more domineering and mysterious.
Every movement he made caused the cloak to sway gently, leaving swirls of quickly fading black fire in the air.
“My only worry is that it might be a bit too flashy,” Aiden thought.
However, the Blackfire Cloak would pair perfectly with the Abyss the Flame Demon staff.
The staff’s effect works like this: by consuming 20% of your mana and 20% of your HP, you can activate King of Flames. This grants immunity to all fire-based damage (excluding fire infused with the laws of nature and a few rare special fires). Upon touching fire, you regain 20% HP, 20% mana, increase movement speed by 100%, and boost negative status resistance by 30%. The effect lasts for 20 minutes.
With that in mind, Aiden realized he could get a boost from King of Flames just by touching his Blackfire Cloak from time to time.
Standing there, Aiden felt a bit disappointed. Right now, the only fire skill he knew was Blazing Tornado.
But its tier was too low, making it weak against high-level High-tier enemies.
“I hope killing a Demon genius later drops a suitable fire Skill Book for me. That way, I can finally unleash the full power of the Blackfire Cloak and the Abyss the Flame Demon staff,” he thought.
Time flew by. By the time Aiden returned to the sewer where Victor and the others had entered, his brow instantly furrowed.
Victor, Jade, Nellie, Jordan, and Cici were gone!
“Did they run into a Demon genius while I was gone? But there are no signs of a fight around here,” he wondered.
Aiden scanned the area carefully. He spotted an arrow carved into the sewer wall—likely made by Jade with her sword.
Still cautious, he slipped back into the shadows, pulling out his the Abyss the Flame Demon staff just in case danger struck.
The city above was nothing but ruins now.
While the sewer itself hadn’t suffered much damage, the power grid had failed. It was dark, damp, and reeked of bad smells.
Following the arrows on the wall for about ten minutes, Aiden finally found Victor and the group.
They looked grim, staring alertly at the maze of tunnels as if guarding against an invisible enemy.
Behind Victor and Nellie stood a headless, limbless little girl—and the corpse of a little boy.
Seeing this, Aiden’s brow deepened.
He checked the area thoroughly from the shadows but found no enemies—just a few slightly chubby rats.
A moment later, Aiden stepped out of the shadows.
The second he appeared, Nellie spun around, ready to strike at a moment’s notice.
“Aiden, you’re back!” Nellie’s eyes lit up, and her tension immediately vanished.
Victor and Jade let out a breath of relief, too.
Watching this, Aiden guessed they must have encountered a dangerous Demon genius but hadn’t actually fought.
“You were right,” Victor said immediately. “There’s a Demon genius hiding down here in this sewer. Its tier is probably Mythic Rank.”
As soon as he spoke, Nellie shook her head with a grim expression. “No, there’s more than one.”
More than one Demon genius? More than one Mythic Rank Demon genius?
Aiden’s eyes lit up instantly. “Tell me everything that happened,” he said quickly.
Victor and the others paused, looking slightly confused by Aiden’s reaction.
Normally, hearing news like this would make people nervous or worried. But Aiden seemed excited instead.
Jade quickly explained what had happened.
They had been waiting at the sewer entrance for Aiden to return when they suddenly heard a human cry for help coming from deeper inside.
After a quick discussion, they decided to investigate, leaving a marking on the wall before moving forward.
When they arrived here, they only found a little girl, missing both arms and legs, huddled in the corner. The boy’s corpse on the ground had already been there when they arrived.
Before they could ask the girl anything, they sensed something watching them from the darkness.
Then, an attack came.
“I saw several pairs of crimson eyes behind that Demon,” Nellie explained. “That’s why I think there’s more than one Mythic Rank Demon here. But they stopped attacking us.”
Aiden was confused.
He had just checked the area and found no sign of enemies.
Perhaps the Demon that attacked Victor and the others had already left before he arrived.
He then turned his gaze to the little girl.
She looked about six years old, covered in dirt, with matted hair. Her young face was frozen in a vacant stare.
“What happened here?” Aiden asked gently, trying to sound as soft as possible.
But no matter what he said, the girl didn’t react at all.
Seeing this, Aiden slowly crouched down to examine the little girl’s limbs.
The moment he looked, his pupils contracted in shock.
Her arms and legs were covered in tiny bite marks.
The wounds looked fresh, yet strangely, no blood flowed from them.
Aiden then checked the boy’s corpse on the ground and found the situation just as strange.
The boy’s insides had been completely emptied out—even his skull was hollow. It looked as if something had burrowed inside him and eaten every organ and his brain.
Just then, the little girl saw Aiden inspecting the boy’s body.
A sudden flash of anger and hate appeared in her eyes. She began to wriggle through the trash-filled sewer, moving toward him.
When she reached Aiden’s legs, she opened her mouth wide and sank her teeth in hard.
“Get off! Let go of my brother! Let him go!” Her words were muffled and unclear.
Seeing this, Aiden’s heart ached sharply.
He suddenly felt a strange heaviness in his chest.
This was just a six-year-old child. At this age, she should be carefree, exploring the world, and growing up happy with her family.
Now, she had lost her limbs, and the body on the ground was her brother.
Aiden slowly reached out, gently stroking the girl’s head. “It’s okay, it’s okay. You’re safe now. We have chased the bad guys away. They won’t hurt you anymore. Don’t worry,” he said softly.
Hearing this, the girl froze, then slowly released her bite.
She struggled to lift her head, a flicker of clarity returning to her eyes as she shouted, “Sir, did you come to save us?”
But the next second, it was as if a terrifying thought struck her. Her voice trembled, her body twisted in pain, and she screamed, “Water! Watch out for the water!”
At that exact moment, ripples began to spread through the sewage in the sewer.
