Chapter 266

The 500 assassins exchanged silent glances without any move. No one seemed to be ready to let this opportunity go. Topan decided to intervene by ordering:

"Shirazy, you will be the one to be tested first."

One of these assassins moved with great anticipation towards Ibro. The rest of the assassins were disappointed. 

When Shirazy reached Ibro, ten guards moved in unison to stand behind Ibro as a protection. Ibro didn't mind that while looked towards that middle-age NPC who asked:

"What should I do?"

"Nothing, just sit on the ground and let me do the rest."

Shirazy looked in doubt towards Ibro as he asked again:

"Is it this simple?"

"It's this simple for you, but not that simple at all for me," Ibro understood part of Shirazy's doubts, so he tried to clarify things. Shirazy had a point here in his doubt. 

He lived for a long time struggling against his dark fate and now this fate would be erased in this simple way? Shirazy then sat on the ground while Ibro put his hands on his head. 

At once, a surge of energy emerged from the depth of Ibro's soul that moved through his hand and crossed over inside Shirazy's body. Ibro felt this energy had connected with energy deep within Shirazy's soul. 

Once the two forms of energy contacted each other, a sucking force emerged from Ibro that started to suck this alien energy dry. 

Shirazy's body jolted twice before bubbles of dark green smoke appeared from his body. This smoke formed clouds of dark green gas just above the head of Shirazy. 

Ibro wasn't the only one able to witness this sign, but all around him were. These clouds began to merge in a systematic way to form a hologram image of a huge monster high in the air. 

That monster looked with his 10 couples of wide eyes towards Ibro while saying in a deep strong voice:

"Hahaha, and an ant like you is trying to kill me? Are you a crazy kid? Let's see how you will do it."

This cloud of smoke separated into multiple small clouds that took the shape of spears after that. Each spear was shiny and had pointed sharp ends. 

Ibro felt natural danger from the looks of these spears, but he calmed himself down. These were just images not real, he kept telling himself that. The spears started to hit his body one after another. 

Ibro didn't hesitate to suppress his fears down with more will. He knew this was just mental attacks, but if he let himself believe it, he might get hurt. 

He stood motionless looking straight towards these spears one after another penetrating his body. 

There was nothing left of his body, not even a single scratch. Ibro felt relieved from his assumption which turned out to be right.

"Do you think you can escape my wrath? Then try to dodge this!"

The hideous voice of this demon appeared in the air again while the clouds of smoke had changed shape. Each cloud had taken the shape of a huge hand that turned into a fist and landed viciously over Ibro's head. 

Ibro didn't move a muscle, though. He kept looking directly straight towards these incoming scary fists. Fist after fist landed over his head. His heart was thrilled each time a fist landed over his head. 

He felt like he was tampering his own will. That was good news for him. He hardened his resolve and continued to do nothing. 

In the middle of these fists attacks, the clouds of smoke trembled and stopped in their places motionless. Later on, a high scream emerged from deep within the body of Shirazy himself.

"You bastard such a filthy human I could kill with my mere thoughts kills me I curse you I curse you for eternity to lose your power and suffer I curse you!"

These screams were associated with the tremble of Shirazy's body. After a few moments, everything returned to calmness again. 

These clouds had dissipated long ago. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ibro, but he was thinking about something else.

Congratulations, now you have absorbed the demon's energy successfully. You have five minutes to use it or it will dissipate.'

'Tell me what should I do now?'

The bossy system returned as it ordered in its harsh voice:

'Sit down now and close your eyes tight. You need to separate yourself from the outside world. Don't distract yourself with anything. Clear up your mind and I will tell you the spells and how to use it.'

Ibro smiled faintly as he muttered:

'It's just like cultivation.'

Ibro then said to those around him:

"I need to do something now, don't interrupt me."

At once, Ibro sat down at the ground and closed his eyes. He calmed down his mind completely while waiting for the system instructions. Few moments passed till the sound of the system appeared:

'The demon energy is stored inside your soul now. You can't feel its presence till you start learning how to use it. 

So, repeat this spell one time after another till you feel the presence of this energy Nefrisca Santo Janigmay.'

Ibro heard that spell weird words and tried to say it again. at first, he felt like his mind was heavy as lead. He couldn't even say the first word completely. 

That was strange, what was preventing him from saying these simple words? He tried one time after another. Each failure had made him more persistent to succeed. 

After many trials, he heard a ticking sound deep inside his soul. It was as if a closed-door had been opened and he could now see what was behind this door.

'Nefrisca Santo Janigmay.'

The first time Ibro said this spell, he felt a deep pain in his soul. He felt like he was slashed by a whip. Ibro didn't stop though as he withstood the pain and continued:

'Nefrisca Santo Janigmay.'

'Nefrisca Santo Janigmay.'

'Nefrisca Santo Janigmay.'

Every time he had more pain till the pain was unbearable, but he didn't stop. After a few more times, the pain began to fade away miraculously with each time he said the words. 

It didn't take long for his soul to recover again and he felt some changes. He felt some resonance from his soul when he said the spell. He continued to say the three words while concentrating on this resonance. 

He was trying to find this energy hidden deep in his soul. He noticed the resonance became stronger each time he used the spell, so he didn't stop for even a moment.
