The Dawn of the New World

Chapter 1235 Pain Pain Go Away

"By the lord's blessing? YOU have Beelzebub's blessing?!"

The demon was visibly shocked hearing the name of its supposed master but it actually had the opposite effect and 'it' realized what Hao Xuan was trying to do.

"How do you- No, I've said too much already! You cunning pissant, how dare you try to trick me?!"

"Trick you?" Hao Xuan shook his head innocently, "I would never. I'm not even that smart, to be honest with you."

"Then w-"

"It's just that you're too stupid, falling for something like this. But thanks for the information, now that I know what it is I can stop holding back and get it over with quickly before your friend gets here."

"Demons don't have any friends! Didn't they teach you this? We work alone!" but as it said that its gaze shifted to the left for an instant confirming Hao Xuan's suspicions.

His expression turned somber, 'I knew it! It was playing along too trying to draw this out for as long as possible so the other one could get here in time. If I didn't notice the demonic energy congregating outside the walls I would have fallen for it too.'

When Hao Xuan spread out his spiritual sense in the direction the demon had glanced he could feel a suffocating energy beginning to manifest on the horizon.

'It feels completely different. I think this one is somehow able to materialize in its true form. I need to be as far as possible when it gets here.'

Hao Xuan closed his eyes and focused on increasing the speed by which the chaos energy was circulating within his body.

'It's going to leave some internal injuries but nothing I can't heal from given enough time. A small price to pay to pull something like this off.'

As the circulation speed increased Baracus's automated warnings began to pop up on the side.

[Warning!]

[Unexpected increase in energy circulation speed detected!]

[The chances of internal energy going berserk have increased by a factor of 3]

[The chance of receiving significant damage to internal organs has surpassed 90%]

"I know, shut up. Turn off notifications," Hao Xuan spat out the first chance he got.

Even though the feather was directly 'blocking' all the pain he could still feel every minute pressure change within his body, and because it wasn't followed up by any extreme discomfort like it normally would have, Hao Xuan felt like he was a stranger in his own body.<.com>

"I need to be very careful, it's too easy to go overboard since I don't have a natural forewarning system in my body anymore."

Pain is the body's natural response to let the person know that something is wrong. Without it, one could be harboring severe injuries and not have the faintest idea until it is too late.

The high-pitched noise coming from Hao Xuan's hand increased twofold while the grey energy surrounding it became darker and much larger than before.

He could feel a numb stinging sensation in his abdomen which began spreading out to all other extremities. When it reached his left hand Hao Xuan finally moved.

[Blink!]

The demon saw his body disappear from the spot and it immediately switched to another vessel. It looked left and right waiting for Hao Xuan while preparing to switch bodies immediately but upon hearing the screeching noise coming from the air it was taken aback.

It looked up to see a shadow some thirty meters overhead.

'The fool, what is he planning to do?! The domain covers everything above and below ground for 50 meters, is he really that stupid?!'

But it didn't have much time to consider the alternatives since Hao Xuan was closing in fast. It was either attack or get out of the way.

"To hell with you, GO!" it screamed at the smaller creatures to attack.

Tendrils of black smoke shot out of the circle and into the backs of each of the smaller creatures, connecting them to the demon in a much more physical way so they wouldn't be left open if it got too loud or disruptive.

They kicked against the ground in unison and with the help of the smoke tendrils the entire framework of the circle was lifted up into the air with them.

The only one left on the ground was the demon in its main body because it still had to control them.

It laughed madly upon seeing the smaller creatures basically ride the black circle to meet Hao Xuan in mid-air. This way it could use the hell domain's suppressive effects to its greatest capacity.

The screeching got louder and louder along with the disturbance in nearby surroundings which gave the demon some reservations.

"It's a lot stronger than before but nothing that I can't ha-"
