Chapter 158: Demon
Finally, Vritra’s body was formed, and it had completely surpassed its peak state. The Demon Lord’s energy was locked away, and he lay unconscious in the crater.
With a jolt, everyone seemed to come out of their trance-like state, as some shook their heads and others rubbed their eyes at such a scene—watching a person actually come back from the dead.
Not just that, after the rebirth, it seemed his body had completely transformed and he no longer looked like a human.
There were two horns over his head, his skin looking even more pale and smooth, and his muscles more refined. His black hair had grown longer.
"He has the core in his body—we have to take it back," Silquor spoke in haste. The others planned to steal it, so they had to make the first move.
Vritra was very weak, and in his unconscious state, he was just waiting to be killed again after his rebirth. But right now, Blunder had the highest chances of obtaining it because of the barrier.
The three were in a state of stalemate. They looked at one another and waited for someone to make a move—after all, whoever moved first would have the least chance of obtaining the core and the highest chances of dying.
[Elegy Parasite awakened.]
Since the danger had not been removed yet, the parasite instantly continued with its plan. Now, everyone clearly saw those tiny vein-like black lines spreading all over Vritra’s body.
Then his eyes shot open, completely consumed by darkness. While watching this scene, everyone began to feel anxious—they were sure Vritra wasn’t awake, but then what was controlling him?
Then, under all the eyes, Vritra’s body slowly began to rise, as if being pulled by invisible strings; his torso was pulled up first as he rose in such an unnatural manner.
