There were not many living creatures on the barren plain.
A Dretch came to the hill and looked at everything in the distance. After standing in place for a moment, it said to itself, "It's really not easy to do two things at once! Even with my god-level ability, sometimes I don't feel used to it. No wonder other gods rarely send their avatars. I don't know how those professions with true mirror image operate! "
Sauron continued to walk towards the plain.
Soon, he encountered a new enemy. It was still a group of messy Dretches, but they were eating.
The food was black rats and a pile of Abyss Worms.
Abyss Worms were not only born near blood pools. After the soul fell into the abyss, it would automatically transform into other forms. Many abyssal planes did not have blood pools at all, but there were still Abyss Worms. The number of these wild Abyss Worms was not small. They wandered on the barren plain and had a small chance of becoming a Dretch. Night Witches and Hags liked to collect these Abyss Worms because their alignment was [Neutral Evil], and they could transform into [Dretch] and [Lesser Demons].
When low-grade demons lacked servants, they would spend a little power to transform the Abyss Worms into the lowest level of Lesser Demons.
Demons valued quality more, and the Abyss Worms were only used as a substitute currency.
The strange Dretch quickly attracted their attention. The Dretches who were eating tore the bodies of the Abyss Worms, and then some rushed towards Sauron.
They did not know why, but they hated this Dretch who looked like a demon! (Note: Lawful Evil alignment.)
"Puchi."
Blood splattered out of the wound.
In front of Sauron, two Dretches quickly fell. His basic attributes were not good enough, so he had to kill more Dretches as soon as possible.
A series of data prompts appeared in front of his eyes. When Sauron killed all the Dretches.
A new round of mutation began.
Demonic power gathered on his body, and soon a row of data appeared in front of him:
"Extracting target's demonic blood! … "
"You've gained 2 demonic power! … Current body cannot absorb soul energy! … … Soul energy conversion! … … Feedback 30 Slaughter EXP! … "
"Demonic blood activated! … "
"A mutation occurred in his own body! [Dretch] form ability improved! … You have obtained the Innate Ability [Demon Skin]. Damage reduction + 5! You've obtained the innate ability Darkvision: 20 meters! … "
…
His skin became tough, and his gaze penetrated the darkness.
The mutation of demons was so simple. Sauron still could not analyze the potential of the demon bloodline, but he knew that it was a mysterious knowledge even to the gods.
Sauron's body turned dark red, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"His power has not reached the complete form of a Dretch!"
Sauron glanced at the corpses on the ground. He did not find any weapons or valuable items, so he quickly continued on his way.
Part of the soul energy was fed back to the main body, but the proportion was very small. It could only be said that it was better than nothing.
They walked like this for a while.
Footprints began to appear on the ground, indicating that there were more creatures nearby. Sauron suddenly stopped and hid in the grass.
In front of his field of vision.
Under the darkening sky, a distorted figure appeared before his eyes.
— — The Petitioner!
The distorted souls wandering in the Abyss were different from the petitioners who entered the kingdom of the gods. Many of the petitioners in the Abyss were bad guys who did all kinds of evil in their lives.
Evil souls fell into the Abyss, but they did not turn into abyssal worms.
Because many petitioners were professions when they were alive. Perhaps their profession level was not high, but it also made their reincarnation power much stronger.
A wandering petitioner.
He should be a soul from the material world. Because he was not completely assimilated by the power of the Abyss, he now became a creature called a Soul (Manes).
The spirit in front of him had pale skin, jet-black claws, razor-sharp teeth, loose hair, and pale eyes. His face was slightly rotten, and he looked as disgusting as the undead. Many maggots could be seen crawling in the bloated body of the Soul. If he survived long enough, the power of the Abyss would gradually assimilate him. Eventually, the Soul might be "promoted" to a low-grade demon, although they would completely lose the memory of their previous life.
The Soul retained a small part of the memory of their previous life. They were the undead demons wandering in the Abyss.
"Soul [The Petitioner] (Grade 2)."
"Challenge Rating: Level 3, Personal Level: 6, Spell-Like Abilities."
"Highest and Lowest Attributes: 18 and 6, Total Attribute Points: 75-85."
"Special Abilities: Fire Resistance, Acid Resistance, Poison Resistance, Lightning Resistance, Acid Spit."
"Challenge Difficulty: C +."
…
It was a wandering spirit.
The power it provided was enough for Sauron to directly advance into the complete form of a Dretch.
But Sauron was not in a hurry to launch an attack because he was currently only a low-grade Dretch. All his power remained in his body. He only inherited the strong willpower brought by the soul. If he died, he would have to pay a heavy price. It was a gamble to integrate himself into the Abyss in this way, and he must not make the slightest mistake.
He approached in Stealth.
Because he did not have the level of a Rogue, he could not get the blessing of the shadow. Sauron could only approach in the lowest level of Stealth.
The smaller size of the Dretch provided him with convenience and a natural dodge advantage. After all, the smaller the creature, the harder it was to hit. He gradually approached the Soul in front of him and then rushed out in an instant.
"Shhh!"
The sharp claws streaked across the air like a sharp dagger, instantly slicing open the Spirit's abdomen.
Demon Claws were equivalent to + 1 natural magic weapon!
The howling wind sounded, and the Soul counterattacked in an instant. The rotten limbs swung down. It wandered in the wilderness without a weapon.
"Bang!"
Sauron's body flew out, but the injury was not serious. The demon skin that he had just acquired had 5 points of damage reduction.
In short.
Even if an ordinary adult with ordinary strength punched him, he would not feel anything. This was the natural ability of demons. Even the lowest Dretch could have some of it. With 14 points of Dexterity, Sauron still had the advantage of speed. His legendary combat experience made it difficult for him to be hit by the enemy, even if there was a large gap between them.
The wounds on the petitioner began to increase.
Sauron seized the opportunity and rushed over. He waved his sharp claws like a dagger and pierced into the opponent's eye. The sharp claws penetrated and then directly twisted.
"Plop!"
The body of the Soul fell to the ground.
A data display appeared in front of Sauron's eyes:
"Extracting the power of the abyss! … "
"You've gained 10 points of demonic power! … The current body cannot absorb soul energy! … Soul energy conversion! … Feedback 120 Slaughter EXP! … "
"Demon bloodline activated! … "
"A mutation occurred in his own body! … [Dretch] form ability improved! … You've gained the talent ability [Demon Resistance]! … Fire, strong acid, poison, cold resistance increased by 10 points! … "
"Demon bloodline awakened!"
"You've automatically learned the spell-like ability [Summon Demon]! … "
"Demon bloodline awakened!"
"You've automatically learned the ability [Multi-Attack]! … "
"Demon bloodline awakened!"
"You've automatically learned the spell-like abilities [Fear] (once a day), [Stinking Cloud] (once a day)!
"Demon bloodline awakened!"
"You've automatically learned the talent ability [Telepathy]! … "
…
The demon bloodline began to change violently!
A mysterious demon tattoo appeared on Sauron's dark red body. This was some kind of incomprehensible power. Many demons had such strange tattoos on their bodies. It further strengthened Sauron's power and made him reach the real strength standard of a Dretch. As the lowest level of demons, Dretches also had many good abilities, including demon skin, demon resistance, demon summon, multi-attack, and a few spell-like abilities.
In this case.
His challenge rating was raised to 2, and a team of level 2 adventurers was needed to fight against him!
