Chapter 62 The demons! Secrets of past…
Chapter 62
“All the children are now here. I will now proceed to brief you all about the event. First of all, the event will be happening in a forest this year, a forest owned by the clan.”
“After that, we will be assigning you with a sealing talisman specially made by our best experts; use that carefully to capture the demon… once used, it would not be usable again. If you feel that you have defeated a strong demon, then use it. If you feel that you can do better then kill the demon and move forward.”
“The test duration would be 1 day. As soon as the time limit is over, you will be directly brought out of the forest no matter what. Onto the next matter, competition is good but threatening the life of others intentionally will lead to harsh punishments and disqualifications. Of course, if you try to kill another candidate, prepare for the worst.”
“You will all be supervised by elders of the clan. Your performance will be assessed properly, so if you’re thinking of cheating in this then I advise that you better give up before getting demotion.”
He paused and looked at the dazed faces of the children before him; he further added.
“The highest level of a demon that you would find in that forest would be a Minor-level demon.”
Hearing this, the crowd had mixed expressions.
Whispering started again,
“Minor-level? That’s it?”
“Are they underestimating us? We belong to one of the five greatest clans.”
“This is humiliating! Just a Minor-level demon? They should be as easy as catching chickens!” A hot-blooded guy said.
“Hey, maybe there’s a catch…”
“What catch? I was expecting to face at least a Mid-level demon! I even bragged about it to my little brother…” A girl sneered and said.
“Tch! I even brought my ancestor’s old sword that he used to use when he was a kid; the blood of a minor-demon would stain its reputation.” Another dumb-looking child said.
“…”
“Who cares about your ancestor’s sword? I am fighting for my own pride! I want to be noticed by the main heirs! At that time, my family would directly soar to heavens if I am accepted by a main heir.”
“That’s true…”
Hearing the murmurs around him, Oliver realized that these kids were too naive.
He wondered if they had even studied about demons or not?
A minor-level demon was easy to hunt? It was making him laugh.
Did they really think that the clan made this event without any prior research or experimentations? The elder clearly said that the highest-level demon that they could find in the forest would be a minor-level demon.
This meant that even the demons weaker than that level would be difficult for them to handle on their own.
They clearly did not understand how tough a demon could be.
He had the knowledge from the novel and knew about the class system that the demons followed very strictly.
Minor Demon: These were the weakest of demons, often summoned by inexperienced summoners or occurring naturally in areas with low espera. They possess minimal power and were easily dispatched by skilled exorcists.
That’s right, these demons required a trained novice exorcist to deal with them.
And they, mere children with no prior exorcism training were going to face that entity.
A demon was a being with the ability to conduct espera as simple as breathing. They were born with more espera as compared to average humans.
Ferocious and aggressive, they were depicted as cruel beings, feasting on the flesh and blood of humans, they endlessly devoured and grew strong in their life.
These demons ate the flesh and drank the blood of humans and gained more strength. Every time, they consumed a human, they would grow stronger.
If they killed an exorcist and devoured their bodies, they would grow even more powerful.
Naturally, this was a great concern for the first generation of exorcists centuries ago…
If they fought, there would be casualties and the demons would grow more powerful from the dead bodies of their comrades.
Thus they came up with a solution and that was to disintegrate or destroy the bodies of their fellow exorcists.
A painful thing to do… expecting to destroy the body of a comrade that once fought alongside you was not easy for anyone.
But it was for the survival of humanity… At that time, it was either now or never.
If they did not take this step then the very existence of humanity would be at extinction.
With a heavy heart, they started to disintegrate the bodies of exorcists that fell in battle.
And this proved quite useful too as the exorcists started to slowly push back against the demons.
But it was getting harder and harder to achieve this as the demons also realized this strategy of theirs and started to hoard the corpses as soon as they killed a bunch.
This led the exorcists to develop another cruel strategy for these clever demons…
With a ‘certain’ technique, they started to develop themselves in such a way that their bodies soon turned into a lethal poison for the demons.
Their blood, their flesh, their espera, all of it soon became a curse for the demons.
As soon as the demons would dare to eat them after their deaths, the terrifying poison would immediately destroy them both physically and mentally.
It would directly cripple them forever.
And this poison method was so effective that till this date in the future, no demon was able to counter this.
The exorcists kept the poison and the technique a strongly guarded secret, even among the exorcist community, very few were aware of the actual method and the rest were just fed the mild version of that poison.
It was simple, the weaker the exorcist, the milder the dose, if the exorcist grew stronger, then they would naturally be told more things.
It was reasonable since the weaker exorcists would provide less power to demons and thus were given a lesser dose.
While the bodies of stronger exorcists would tremendously benefit the demonic being so they would need to be allocated more of the dosage.
