The Author's POV

Chapter 693

"Ukh."

The moment that I turned away from the others and moved myself to another room, my whole body started to shake, and my vision twisted.

Everything around me became a crimson colour, and I felt a weird itch pulse from the area in the middle of my chest.

All sorts of different emotions started to surface in my mind, and the muscles on my face twitched uncontrollably.

Although I couldn't see myself in the mirror, I was sure that I was smiling, frowning, crying, and displaying all sorts of faces.

"Kh...This is a lot more difficult than I thought."

This was one of the side effects of assimilating demonic blood into my body.

I was no longer a human but a half-demon of sorts. As such, I was experiencing the cravings that the demons had.

That wasn't the only change that I saw.

In my field of vision, the psyons in the air kept disappearing and reappearing, and in their place were thin black orbs that were drawn in my direction.

It was none other than demonic energy.

'It's starting...'

Before I took the blood and began to assimilate with it, both Suriol and Angelica forewarned me about the first obstacle I would face.

'Mind erosion'

The stage at which a person will feel an increase in the intensity of all of their feelings.

Be it happiness, sadness, or anger...all emotions would see a significant boost, and only by passing this first hurdle would one know that they were able to merge their blood with demonic blood.

"Huuuu..."

I took a deep breath, and the seals that I had placed inside my body started to glow.

My face immediately returned to its normal state, and the demonic blood that had been raging inside of me immediately calmed down.

'I'm glad I placed the seals inside of my body.'

I had not yet progressed beyond the beginning stages of mind erosion. At this moment, my mind was still clear.

I knew that my mind was not in a state to take in such a significant quantity of demonic energy, which was why I had placed the seals inside of my body.

Even without the influence of demonic energy, I was only a hair's breadth away from losing all semblance of rationality.

The seals weren't there to help me absorb the demonic energy but rather to protect me.

"...I need to carefully think about my next steps of action."

I leaned against the wall of the room.

Having my rank drop back to rank wasn't exactly desirable.

Although I could get my normal strength back, there was a high risk that the demonic blood contained in me would go rampant, and I would end up going crazy.

This wasn't something that I wanted.
