Chapter 36: The Calm Before the Storm

“This weapon is so powerful! My eyes are hurting just by looking at it!” Jade remarked in fear as she looked at the successfully consolidated Blade-Sword Combo.

After all, it might look like scissors, but it was an SS-rank weapon-type skill.

In essence, it was still an amalgamation of high-density energy compression, just like the Lightning Spear held by the legendary Zeus.

After sensing the power of that combined attack, Davis quickly dispersed it. After all, that skill consumed a lot of energy,

He turned around and looked at the newly sprouting holy light tree. It had grown to more than ten centimeters.

Moreover, the Radiant Holy Realm’s area had also become much larger

…

While Davis was cultivating in the Radiant Holy Realm, Fiona and her small team had already arrived at a dangerous place in the human world, Fallen Devils Valley!

The deep canyon was rumored to be the place where a cult God had fallen during the ancient War of Gods.

According to the information from Paradise Island, a mysterious person wearing priest clothes had arrived here half a month ago, but no one knew his purpose of being there.

After that, terrifying howls would often be heard from the canyon.

After hearing those howls, many of the surrounding villagers lost their minds, even to the extent of losing their minds and dying.

It was likely that the priest held some sort of dark and vile ceremony inside.

A compatriot angel said, “This is one of the battlefields of the great war between gods and demons. Many angels and demons have gone missing here.”

“Many vengeful souls, rotting corpses, and ghosts often appear here. Remember to be careful when we go down later!”

“Yes!”

Before going down again, a few people secretly glanced at Fiona, thinking, “This might be the place where the war angel saint Fiona died in battle.”

When Fiona was up there, she looked into the depths of the canyon and felt that something was constantly summoning her.

It seemed like something was waiting for her and she could vaguely hear its call.

…

Not far from the canyon was a place filled with demonic energy.

Ever since Davis obtained the Radiant Holy Realm, the light energy in his body had gradually suppressed the darkness in order to maintain a balanced development.

He would often use his doppelganger to deceive the guards.

Then, he would secretly descend to the lower realm to absorb the dark elements.

Davis had already absorbed all the darkness elements accumulated there. He was not going to return there anyway.

The dark creatures there were extremely unlucky. Unable to beat Davis all they could do was move away helplessly.

[Notification: host’s demon power has broken through and advanced to demon lord level nine!]

“It’s finally about to balance out!”

Davis let out a deep sigh of relief after hearing the system’s notification.

His spiritual power had soared ever since he had obtained Vontel’s soul power, but although it was useful for absorbing light elements, it only took half the effort to absorb dark elements.

In addition to the Radiant Holy Realm that he obtained later, his angel strength had grown too quickly, leaving his demon strength far behind.

After he obtained the Blade-Sword Combo, he felt that his future path was to walk on the combination of both light and darkness.

As a result, he began to absorb dark elements in the lower realm.

Upon realizing that the dark elements in that place had been squeezed dry by him, Davis planned to find another place to absorb dark energy.

“Looks like I need to find a new place.”

Just as Davis was about to fly and find another place to absorb the energy, he suddenly felt Fiona’s aura nearby.

He had always been very sensitive to Fiona’s war angel aura.

“Fiona’s mission is here?”

Since they had bumped into each other, Davis decided to take a look for himself.

He spread his wings and flew toward the Fallen Devils Valley.

On the way, Davis immersed his mind into his own alternate dimension. Then, he found that the area within the Radiant Holy Realm was actually opened by the holy tree’s strong roots.

…

Fiona and the others had already entered the depths of the Fallen Devils Valley and passed through several ancient battlefield ruins.

During that period of time, they had also encountered many vengeful spirits and undead creatures, like ghosts for example.

Fiona’s sword techniques also began to become even sharper, and the murderous aura on her body also became increasingly intense.

Her companions were also very respectful toward her, although she rarely communicated with them.

Their conversations were either very short, or they revolved around one person.

Davis!

“I hope I can find some treasure and give it to Davis to protect him.

“Davis’s combat skills are also very good.

“Yeah, he’s my younger brother. We were born together.

Davis was watching the angel squad from the side.

Time passed. Fiona’s squad had been investigating the Fallen Devils Valley for half a month but still had no leads.

During that period, they encountered many monsters and various other strange creatures.

The further they went down, the more terrifying the creatures they encountered and stronger those beings were too.

The blood stains on Fiona’s bronze longsword also became deeper and deeper.

There were even a few times when Davis helped them handle some trouble from the shadows.

However, from the beginning to the end, that irritating voice was still deeper in the canyon even though its figure was nowhere to be seen.

The exploration was still ongoing.

[Notification: the host’s demonic power has reached demon lord level nine!]

[It’s finally balanced!]

That morning, Davis was still following behind everyone, absorbing the dense dark energy in the canyon. The system’s notification came as a surprise to him.

His demonic power and angelic power had once again become balanced.

He opened his eyes and felt that the concentrated energy of both his demonic and divine hearts.

Both the angel’s heart and devil’s heart began to tremble violently.

He was starting to feel that the time for a breakthrough was getting closer.

However, as soon as he thought of the energy and resources he needed for a breakthrough, he decided that he was no longer in a hurry. Instead, he focused on waiting behind everyone and began protecting them wholeheartedly.

From time to time, he would also immerse his mind into his doppelganger.

He would manage the library with Angelina and talk to her.

The doppelganger on Paradise Island could clearly feel that the four seraph had completed Paradise Island’s reinforcement.

As for Samael, he seemed to have disappeared after being scared away that day.

He did not even return to the abyss and look for Lucifer to take back his position.

However, there was still bad news from the outside world. The ruthless, arrogant, and unrestrained people in the Abyss had converged.

They seemed to be planning something. No one knew if it was for Paradise Island or if they had already heard the news that the old man, Samael, had returned.

Since the last conflict, both the world of gods and demons had become silent at the same time.

That silence was very strange, because everyone knew that a war was brewing!
