Lucifer's Descendant System

154 - Is He Flying?

The view was brutal. Thirteen imps stood around a single man who had a cold expression on his face as he watched two corpses being cremated on the ground for apparently no reason.

If there were anybody seeing that, they would surely think that that man was offering those corpses in some kind of ritual to the demon, which really wasn't so far from the truth.

Noah was truly proud of the imps. Because of the addition of an imp with the ability he called [Fire Claws], the group's speed was much faster than before. The number of monsters they had killed had already reached double digits. Noah's earnings had already exceeded 1,000 exp points at level 04, which for him who had left level 03 a few days ago was a great progress.

Because of the small imp's [Fire Claws] ability, Noah was able to regenerate his energy even without even participating in the battle. Just as he thought, anything burned by his flame would generate energy for him, although a small part of that energy went to the imp who used the skill, to be able to support themselves to the skill for longer. The amount was small, and considering that Noah didn't make any effort to intervene, it was negligible. Not to mention that the imps' abilities would probably evolve on its own from now on. Just as Noah noticed that the first imp's [Healing Flames] had become more powerful just because he was using it all the time on himself and on his companions, [Fire Claws] would probably also evolve in the same way.

Just like the first time he had received a mission, that mission also gave him a radar of sorts. And they had been following the direction of this radar signal for some time now, so Noah could imagine that they were probably already close.

Bearing in mind how dangerous the nest he had invaded last time was, this time Noah prepared for something at least with the same level of difficulty, leaving his energy almost full at the time being. He might as well continue to provide energy for another imp to learn to [Fire Claws] too, but that would leave him vulnerable by not having full energy, so he just transferred the surplus to the imp with [Healing Flames], as his skill was still very weak.

After killing the monsters in two more pools, his group finally came along a place that Noah was sure was where the totem was hidden.

A pool at least five times larger than the other pools they had found before had appeared in front of them. This pool has a much larger area than normal.

'Surely there must be a totem around... but how am I going to go about doing this?' Noah started to think.

First, of course, the ideal would be for him to order his imps to eliminate the monsters while he was watching, and so he did.

It reminded him of other times that he imagined the possibility of breaking into a Fortress and just watching from a distance. Truly, that was exactly what was happening to him now. He was just watching the imps venturing through the Fortress while he stood at a distance, giving commands and support to them, without ever having to put himself in danger.

'Hehe, this is life. Invading a Fortress and having nothing to do? Haha ha,' Noah thought. He knew that if he went alone, with his skill set, it would probably be faster, but it would be a lot more work. Besides that, the fight against the Boss might be even more difficult, because he was alone.

Lilith was very comfortable wrapped around his wrist, but Terrence didn't like the atmosphere in this place at all, and even started to suffocate, causing Noah to send him back through the portal again. Unfortunately, the test of his skill would have to wait for another hour.

As Noah ordered, the small army of imps he owned used the same strategy to deal with the monsters in the lava pools, luring them away and trying to get rid of them as quickly as possible, but avoiding putting themselves in unnecessary risks.
