Pov Haros (Demon Dragon):

I'm still getting used to this Demon Dragon's body, this body is far inferior to my original body.

"How is your new body?" (Sarturi)

"Still adjusting, it may be weak, but it has great compatibility because it's the same breed." (I)

"But did I need to devour his Soul? I could have created a new child with that Soul." (I)

"We don't have time for that and I wouldn't send a Soul with that much information to Kalistos." (Sarturi)

Sarturi remains the same, he will be an excellent Demon God, and he will cause many conflicts where I can fight as much as he wants.

"What will be the next step, you didn't take my Soul out of the Prison of Souls just to talk to me." (I)

"No, we will be attacking a World Tree in 3 days, be ready." (Sarturi)

"You know where there's a town nearby, a secluded one preferably, I don't want anyone interrupting my meal." (I)

"I haven't eaten in millennia, even you look tasty now." (I)

"In that direction, it's a distance of 83 kilometers, take one of the Shadow Slaves with you to help keep in touch with me." (Sarturi)

"Then I'm going..." (I)

I grab the head of one of the Shadow slaves and go flying in the direction he pointed.

--------------

days later.

I go back to the city, and as soon as I came back I can feel his Evil energy and many Auras, but they are just remnants, it seems he kept himself busy while he was away.

I joined him and we left for the Gray Elf village, it seems to be in a place called the Nightmare Forest.

We were in a group of Adventurers being manipulated by Sarturi's curses, so I took that time to catch up on things.

"You seem well informed, when did you get back?" (I)

"Only 1 day before calling you back to this world." (Sarturi)

"But I left a Familiar with a small part of my Soul behind, I already got most of its memory, so we can use its initial plan to our advantage." (Sarturi)

"Can I fight?" (I)

"You can fight all you want, just don't overdo it, you're far from full power." (Sarturi)

"I just need more Demonic energy, if I had enough I could rebuild this body to be more fit and that would accelerate my growth back to the peak of my power." (I)

"In a nutshell, I need to eat more people, the stronger the better, I can turn their life energies into Demonic energy." (I)

He did his best to hide us, but it seems that it didn't work, the Gray Elves would never be fooled by it but for less, we are closer."They are watching us now, wait for their trap." (Sarturi)

"All right..." (I)

--------------

After we were discovered the constant attacks continued but Sarturi doesn't do anything, he's letting me fight as much as I want, I killed and devoured most of the Gray Elves to the point where they stopped coming after us.

When we arrive at the location of your village, I can no longer feel anything in the surroundings, it seems that the surrounding environment itself is suppressing my Aura and senses.

"Do you take care of it?" (I)

"I've been waiting to ask." (Sarturi)

He holds out his arm and spears of darkness pierce through them, I can't tell when they moved, I really am pathetically weak.

"Let's go!" (Sarturi)

"< Territory: Divine Realm >" (Sarturi)

"< Summon >" (Sarturi)

Soon a large magic circle appeared in the sky and countless deformed creatures came out, rushing towards the Gray Elves' village.

At the same time, I could feel the expansion of Sarturi's Territory being restricted, but he just kept walking.

We entered the village and there were bodies everywhere, but something was wrong.

"They fled." (I)

"At least most of them, but apparently they prioritized the kids since I don't see any." (Sarturi)

That's right, all the bodies on the ground are adults and have combat weapons, they're all fighters trying to slow us down.

"Something is wrong, did they know we were coming before we entered the forest?" (I)

"I don't care about your plans, the only thing I need can't go anywhere." (Sarturi)

We passed the Elf village while the monsters were devouring the corpses and buildings.

But there were people standing in front of the World Tree Temple.

"You shouldn't have gotten out of your prison, we were merciful giving you time to think."

"What would a child like you know, you tried to kill me, prison was meant to weaken me and none of you thought I would come back stronger." (Sarturi)

"< Expansion >" (Sarturi)

The small Territory around Sarturi that made things darker around him expands and collides with something in front of us, it could be due to the sacred ground of the World Tree or this Gray Elf's Territory.

The green and black lights were flying every which way through the confrontation as they were trying to swallow each other into their territories.

But soon Sarturi smiled as his territory swallowed the Elf and then he himself disappeared, leaving only me and these other Elves.

"You know, I'd like to..." (I)The Elf tries to use a blade of shadows behind my back to attack me while I'm surrounded by the others, but the only one who really poses a real threat is going to be the one I assume is the leader.

"(Dragon form will be inconvenient, so let's try this.)" (I)

I partially transform my body, until I am 10 feet tall, scales all over my body while maintaining a humanoid appearance.

"Sounds like it's going to be fun." (I)

I reinforce my entire body with Demonic energy and start the fight by crushing one of them with my tail while trying to hit me from behind.

"< Breath of Evil Flames >" (I)

When everyone rushes towards me I drop my jaw to the ground and let out a huff of breath causing the flames to spread as they retreat.

I waste no time and give a boost with my wings without being harmed by my own flames and attack one of the weaker ones only to find it was a fake made of shadows, I look at the first one that I squash with my tail and there were no more either nothing there, not even blood.

In my moment of distraction, the dagger only pierces halfway to my right side, but I also manage to use my claws to slash from his waist to his shoulder.

I pull out the dagger and lick the blade still dirty with my blood, I can also feel other things on it.

"Poisons are useless against me." (I)

"< Poison Mist >" (I)

Before I changed into a Demon Dragon in the past, I was a Poison Dragon, poisons will hardly have any effect on me.

"< Thousand Shadow Blades >"

"< Heavy Blow >" (I)

I catch the first closest attack and punch with my energy concentrated in the fist that hit the enemy's blade throwing him back while sending 7 more daggers that lingered in my stomach.

Our fight goes on for over 2 hours, and strangely no one else showed up, I thought he was biding his time but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Every blow we make makes the earth shake, my body was full of cut marks caused by his daggers, he tried to use low types of poisons and even tried to use a curse, but none of that worked for me.

Actually, this Elf is being of great help for me to get used to my new body.

But he was in worse shape than me, I took one of his eyes and put a Curse that must be eating his body from the inside.

The area around us has constantly prevented me from using my Territory and I'm sure that's why he hasn't tried yet.

"Let's end the prank." (I)

"< Demon Corrosion >" (I)

My attacks were full of Demon energy and my Aura, with these blows I landed on him I managed to accumulate enough Demon energy that I now detonate, but instead of the Blood and flesh I was waiting to feast on his corpse, what I saw was just shards of wood flying in all directions.

I get closer and see that the scattered body parts were just wood, it was a wooden doll, it made me smile because I could fight that Gray Elf harder next time.

Soon Sarturi returns, his face set in anger as he holds a wooden arm in his hands.

"Looks like both of them are fake..." (I)

"Let's end this now!" (Sarturi)

Saying that Sarturi's body mute as he becomes a giant over 70 meters tall, so without expecting anything he went towards the World Tree and uses his claws to open a large wound where he enters before large amounts of miasma starts to sweat all over the World Tree.

"Now your power will be mine." (Sarturi)

The World Tree has black lines running through its body very fast, little by little I can feel its Aura coming from the World Tree.

"It looks like he will need a few more hours to complete, it looks like it was hard for him to defeat his enemies." (I)
