Chapter 70{ Demons ! }
" Welcome noble, would you like something specific ? " At the entrance of one of the large shops specialized in potions Ian was received by a beautiful girl.
" I heard about your distinguished Cradle Steps Potion " Ian said.
The shops here did not only possess the circulating potions but also special potions crafted by specific alchemists for these stores which granted them a permanent share of the market.
" It is indeed available please this way " The girl led him to a shelf where a set of Cradle Steps Potions were hung.
Ian grabbed one and drank it directly.
He did not ask about the price or the properties or the benefits or how it should be absorbed he drank it directly.
The girl was startled " Noble, this potion costs 20 Energy Stones ".
Ian nodded and waved his hand indifferently which brought out 20 stones from his ring.
The girl saw them and bowed " Apologies to the noble for the offense ".
Void rings did not look different from ordinary rings and so she did not think that Ian possessed one especially since it is something designated for the great nobles of the city and they are famous figures on all levels.
Ian did not care about these small details and reduced the activation of his energy, his energy quietly receded while “The Rise of the Failed One” worked on refining the liquid quickly, soon the entire liquid was absorbed which displayed the true power of a Legendary rank skill.
Ian immediately felt the pressure and gravity lessen upon him and more importantly the movement of blood inside his body became better - If I manage to adapt to gravity my strength will increase once again, the potions here are very useful especially since they can enhance the human physical structure pushing it to its utmost limits, it will not break the boundaries and become a human weapon but at least your body will become strong enough that you can break a blade by squeezing it between your hands - Ian thought and pointed to another potion " That one ".
The girl hurriedly said " It is a Blood Purification Potion, noble, and it works as a wonderful complement to Cradle Steps enhancing blood purification further and strengthening the internal organs ".
" Bring it ".
" At once ".
Ian drank it immediately and began refining it.
The girl stood in astonishment - He shows no signs of fatigue or difficulty nobles truly are strange -.
The gravity lessened once again - Ian canceled another portion of his energy and tried moving cautiously - It is good but not much " Do you have a stronger and better potion than these two ? ".
The girl nodded " We do indeed but it is very expensive ".
" Do not speak of price in my presence " Ian frowned and used his fabricated influence.
" Apologies noble " The girl bowed and pointed to a higher display platform where dozens of potions with a pulsing red glow were placed " This is the Spirit Embryo Potion, once you drink it your entire body will be washed and adjusted but I advise the lord not to……….. ".
Gulp.
Before she finished Ian had already drunk it.
The girl’s expression froze.
** Your human body has reached its limit, evolving again is impossible **
Finally, Ian sighed and removed his energy and felt like a fish in water, he waved his hand quickly and the girl felt as if his hand had become a mirage, she stepped back instinctively fearing for herself.
As for Ian he completely ignored her and nodded " Do you sell the formulas of these potions ? ".
The girl shook her head after her expression calmed " No noble, these formulas are exclusive to our shop but if you want circulating formulas we have some ".

Ian thought of something and decided to buy some Spirit Embryo Potions to give to his forces before leaving.
>>>>>>>>>>
The competition began again.
" You finally arrived " his opponent said.
Ian stood in the arena before an arrogant young man holding a great sword.
Ian did not reply.
" The name of my sword is Trash Crusher where it will turn you into minced meat ".
Ian remained calm.
His opponent was at Beginner Level / 2 while he was at the First Level, a contradiction and a vast difference in power.
The Second Level which Ian suffered greatly with especially here where the quality of energy and individuals is higher, but Ian possessed a Legendary profession, powerful strength and even his Dantian was different, if someone saw it they would be shocked, the energy was not white like everyone in this world and World of Wonders but pure red like blazing blood which means he is not a normal person at First Level / Dust, but something stronger, much stronger!.
" You are still smiling !, damn you, Fall of the Sun and Moon " the young man shouted and raised his sword and small projections of the sun and moon appeared around him rotating forming a massive vortex of both cold and hot light.
" Die " the young man shouted.
Ian smiled and remained in place.
Suddenly.
Phantom Steps.
Ian appeared far from his previous spot moving toward the young man.
His steps were astonishingly fast which made the young man’s eyes widen " Bastard, stand still and await death ".
Phantom Steps.
Ian dodged across the battlefield.
" Damn rat " the young man shouted.
The battle turned into a theatrical show where the young man attacked madly and Ian fled as if afraid but from his mocking expression you would understand he is playing with his opponent which left the crowd stunned because of the power gap between them.
Reality has flipped!.
He is playing with his opponent!!.
How is this ?.
Did you notice his training ?.
" Stand still " the young man shouted.
" Stand still? " Ian smiled and stopped in place.
" Fight with honor you bastard and await your death " the young man shouted and waved his sword.
" Honor!! " Ian stroked his chin " I remember someone said it to me and I remember my reply, do you eat it or drink it! " Ian said and suddenly clenched his fist and launched his attack.
Hell Fist.
Division Fist.
Dozens of Hell Fists appeared in the arena.
The young man gasped and waved his sword " Sea Cleaver ".
What seemed to be a gigantic sword appeared wanting to split Ian and the entire arena in half but.
Boooooooooom
Ian’s fist was much stronger, the sword shattered and the young man was blasted out of the arena.
" What do you think of honor now ? " Ian mocked indifferently then exited the arena.
" He is strong " Luna commented calmly.
" At Dust Level and defeats Beginner Level holders this easily " said a middle aged man beside her.
" Is he really at Dust Level uncle ? " Luna asked.
" I do not know, but yesterday we could not see that he was even at Dust Level and now he is at this level naturally no one can break through in one day, cultivation is not that easy even for the greatest geniuses and this means he hides his true cultivation, and even so there is a problem in this how can he hide his cultivation from me " the uncle said strangely " In any case be careful if you fight him, he is not simple ".
Luna nodded firmly " Uncle I will remember your words but is not this competition strange ?, its announcement appeared and it was executed on the same day as if they invite everyone to participate and at the same time not which means that there is something that forced them into it and not that they wanted to hold it ".
The uncle was silent for a moment before saying " I do not know and I do not understand Sir Arthur’s thinking in any case but no harm will come from it, only " A massive explosion interrupted their words and drew everyone’s attention.
Booooooooooooooooom
The arrogant young man appeared in the arena and his eye pulsed with madness " Hahahahahahaha, an amusing plan you humans, you want to use the Beast Birth Flower to let your fool be born again !, hahahaha, you are merely fools ".
Suddenly the young man’s body changed, his skin turned purple and his eyes became dark ash with two black lines like a cat’s eyes and two horns protruded from his head.
Demon!!!!.
" A Demon here?!!!!.
" Impossible!!!.
" How did he bypass the guards and formations??.
" Kill him.
" Run.
The closest to him was Ian.
" Human bastard !, come let me show you the honor that I eat and drink when I tear you between my teeth " The Demon revealed teeth that resembled saws and lunged at Ian.
Ian looked at him and stood in place as if frightened.
Whoosh.
The Demon’s movement was much faster than Ian and he quickly reached him in an instant, the small claws on his hand can cut steel itself even the hardest metals would be nothing before them.
Ian raised his fist.
" We must save him " Madas said but General Kyos had already descended into the arena yet it was too late as the Demon was already before Ian.
They will not arrive in time and worse ordinary attacks do not affect Demons, they must originate from fire or light especially the latter because it destroys their source and at the same time must be strong enough otherwise it will only delay their healing but not kill them.
Ian’s expression did not change although he felt a deep hatred toward Demons coming from within him, as if something was screaming inside him, the purple aura exploded with unprecedented force, powerful to the extent that it terrified General Kyos who is a noble and everyone present and froze them in place in fear.
General Kyos and the others trembled as they witnessed this scene.
" I will kill you " the Demon screamed but he suddenly trembled, - What kind of sense of danger is this ? , he is!! , he is strong! - , but it was too late.
Flames appeared on Ian’s fist and with the purple aura it turned into a blazing hell that consumed the entire scene, from afar you would see a glimpse of doomsday blazing on Ian’s small fist.
" Hell Fist " Ian thrust his fist and...
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooom.
The scene before him shattered and the entire arena including the Demon was swept away.
