Chaos Warlord: Reincarnated in Eldrich with the Devil System!

In the Evernight forest, the towering trees seemed to hide a multitude of dangers within their shadows, and Val was eager to face them head-on so as to level up and complete the dungeon.

He encountered four more groups of Ravenspine in succession and used his bloodline ability to quickly decimate them with ruthless efficiency.

As a result, he earned a lot of exp and a lot of things. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

Their cores were collected and stored with the previous ones.

Their blood was distributed the same way, half to his sword and the remaining to his Blood Bar. As a result, the rage meter of Aquarius was full, and his Blood Bar has increased to more than 1000 points!

After a while of wandering through the forest, Val stumbled upon a clearing.

The center of the clearing held the attention-grabbing figure of the Ravenspine Chieftain.

This was no ordinary creature, but a formidable behemoth standing at a staggering height of 4 meters!

Its limbs resembled tree trunks in both size and strength, and it had a square, beastly face!!

The pair of formidable teeth protruding from its lower jaw and the horn sprouting defiantly from its head added an intimidating aspect to its overall monstrous appearance!!!

However, the most striking feature of the Chieftain was its skin color. Unlike the brown hues of its underlings, this monster boasted a deep, vibrant green skin. It also had no weapon. It believed that its claws were more than enough to deal with dungeon invaders like Val.

"Arrogant," Val said. "Nothing less expected of a green devil."

Val managed to immediately identify the creature as a Green Devil because knowledge about it was taught to every Whitemore at a young age as its heart was a key ingredient in the formulation of the Witch's Potion

Actually, consuming its heart directly could, awaken one's Whitemore bloodline, but it also carried a substantial risk.

Its heart was filled with a terrifying amount of corruptive force. The act of consuming it directly could backfire on the consumer, transforming them into a monster.

In the expanse of the clearing, Val's predatory gaze collided with the Green Devil's menacing stare, igniting an intense atmosphere as if sparks were flying between them.

Wasting not a moment, he lunged forth, his sword singing through the air and charging towards the Green Devil's weak point in a deadly arc.

However, despite its colossal stature, the Green Devil moved with remarkable agility, bracing itself against Val's attack.

Clang!

The echoing clang of his sword against the monster's natural armor reverberated through the clearing, shockwaves of the forceful collision rippling outward.

Utilizing the backward thrust from the blocked strike, Val deftly dodged the counterattack, the Green Devil's claw swiping through the air where he had been just moments prior. Its claw barely missed by a hair's breadth!

Evading the deadly reach of its claw, Val retaliated swiftly, his sword whistling through the air to strike at the creature's midsection. From the exchange just now, Val had already learned that it wouldn't be easy to land a blow on the Green Devil's weak point so he attacked another place. However, his attack found no purchase, repelled by the formidable natural armor of hardened green scales. His sword bounced back from the ineffective attack, leaving the Green Devil unscathed.

Unfazed, Val continued his relentless assault, raining blow after blow on the monster. The Green Devil matched his ferocity, countering his attacks with powerful swings of its claws. Attacking and parrying, the two combatants danced around each other in the clearing like fatal enemies.

Amidst the tumult, the Green Devil found an opening, darting within Val's defenses. Its clawed hand struck like lightning, slashing towards Val. Reacting with a fighter's intuition, Val manifested a shield of dense, condensed blood to block the incoming attack. The sheer brute force behind the beast's attack, however, shattered his protection instantly, and its venomous claws dug into his arm with ruthless precision.

The monster's eyes gleamed with joy as it expected Val to crumble under the pain, to be incapacitated and helpless. It seemed to revel in Val's impending downfall, already envisioning the delicious agony that would ensue and the opportunity for a lethal strike.

What it didn't know was that none of what it was thinking was going to come true as Val couldn't feel pain!

Val displayed not a flicker of pain or fear, even as the beast's talons tore into his flesh. Rather, he perceived an unforeseen advantage in this predicament.

This was the best chance he could ask for to counterattack. After all, with the Green Devil's claw lodged in his flesh, it was immobilized, unable to evade the counterattack he was about to unleash!

Summoning his strength, Val launched a powerful kick at the momentarily incapacitated creature.

"???"

The Green Devil's anticipated victory turned into a shocking surprise as Val's counter was nothing short of unexpected. Its claws were still deeply embedded in Val's arm, thus immobilizing it and making evasion impossible.

Bam!

A resounding reverberation rang out as Val's boot connected with the creature's midsection. The force of the kick sent the Green Devil careening backward, its enormous body flung through the air like a leaf in a storm, causing it to crash to the ground a significant distance away,

"Hmm? What is this?"

A brief flicker of confusion crossed Val's face as he glanced at his wound that was caused by the Green Devil.

His senses were dulled by his body's lack of pain response, and he hadn't realized that he had been poisoned by the Green Devil's attack until he saw the physical evidence. His blood, tainted and black, oozed from the wound and the surrounding skin had begun to display signs of necrosis. The potent poison was spreading rapidly from its initial point.

Seeing this, Val's mind clicked into overdrive, knowing that every passing second was crucial in such a dire situation.

'There's only one way to stop it.'

Swiftly, he gripped his sword tightly in his uninjured hand and swung it down, severing his poisoned hand to stem the rapid spread of the toxin. His mutilated limb fell to the ground.

Then, he focused his gaze back on the Green Devil, who was still struggling to regain its footing from the brutal kick that sent it reeling backwards.

"You are fucked!" Val said in a low, husky voice.

The loss of his hand had thoroughly angered him!
