My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Chapter 531 - 353: The Demon Weeps in July

Xue Dili was unable to answer this question at the moment. Would he be sad?

Perhaps not. Now he feels that in this situation, he should display some sadness, but no matter how he controls his facial muscles, he cannot express true sorrow.

Now he understands that when unable to empathize and having lost intense emotions, he becomes hideously unrecognizable.

However, he still manages to control his facial expressions to show a reluctant smile: "Perhaps I would."

Xue Dili said like this.

The Little Witch seemed to know Xue Dili was lying but didn’t expose him. Instead, she struggled to get her ear closer to the phone, listening to the 49th episode of Ultraman Star being played and told Xue Dili Hell’s coordinates.

Hell would be the last stop, and mutually unspoken, after Hell, it was also the time for Susu to completely reclaim all her powers and ascend to become Margaret.

This was the final time she lived under the identity of "Susu."

...

Currently, Xue Dili feels that Innovation Era is basically unlocked.

Though not in its complete form, it’s mostly usable now, covering a range of nearly ten thousand kilometers, enough to span an entire continent.

Therefore, Xue Dili silently calculates the coordinates with his Dimensional Blade on the ground, then once again, the Dimensional Blade splits open a space fissure.

He carried Susu, picked up the Dimensional Blade, and headed to Hell.

In the sky, the blood-red setting sun soaked through the gray clouds, dyeing the entire hellish scorched earth a sticky dark red, and the cracked earth exuded sulfurous mist, like countless ulcerated wounds sprouting across the ground, while twisted dead trees abruptly stabbed at the sky, their branches hanging with desiccated hide.

It seemed as though this was a gathering place of all horrors—Hell, the birthplace of demons, and likewise, a haven for demons.

"Humans! There are unexpectedly masterless humans!" Suddenly a voice came from the dry hide perched atop the dead tree.

Its name is Skin Demon, feared by many in the past, so its power was not weak. However, with the emergence of "Human Demon," fear associated with human skin shifted to the Human Demon, causing its power to drastically diminish.

And with the rapid depopulation, its power dwindled further, now as low as road debris, without even one captive human.

Demons are not truly immortal, and when the world loses fear of you, the demon will naturally die. Now, this Skin Demon lives only because some remaining humans still fear human skin.

Thus, upon seeing Xue Dili, a masterless human, it became as excited as a dog encountering something exuberant.

That desiccated human skin crawled eagerly across the ground, aiming to attack Xue Dili...

"Buzz!"

The Dimensional Blade pinned the human skin to the ground instantly, yet Xue Dili doesn’t know how to wield demon power.

According to the intelligence provided by Susu’s mother, his current eyes possess demon power, whether it be the Divine Purification Demon Eye or the Ghost Eye, essentially they are merely applications of demon powers.

So now, Xue Dili has to attempt to harness demon power.

Create a demon that all demons fear?

"Demon power is fear power; you just need to envision the existence that demons fear most."

Susu’s mother’s words remain vivid before his eyes.

Envision the existence that demons fear?

Xue Dili closed his eyes...

The next moment, fearsome armor sprouted on Xue Dili, plunging him into a semi-demonized state, and the Dimensional Blade in his hand sliced countless flashes of blade light.

The Skin Demon looked in terror at Xue Dili, now half-demonized, and said: "You, a human, why can you wield demon power!"

Looking at Xue Dili, who had grown demon armor, sudden fear was etched into its heart.

Beneath the Demon Armor, Xue Dili did not answer its words, instead vibrating the blade and retracting the Dimensional Blade.

In an instant, fear dominated the few remnants of the Skin Demon’s brain, but as the Dimensional Blade was sheathed, the surging blade light transformed into delayed, terrifying space fissure explosions.

If merely space slashes, even the space-cutting Dimensional Blade couldn’t kill the Skin Demon; it would only reborn into reality.

Yet, once the Skin Demon started fearing Xue Dili, all was destined!

The delayed blasts of blade light turned into silver, shredding the Skin Demon utterly.

At this moment, the demon did not resurrect into reality but disappeared entirely, its fear of human skin hence completely consumed by the Human Demon.

This is the second way to kill a demon: concept consumption.

Following the Human Demon’s creation, all demons based on human concepts like the Horror Valley Demon, Pseudo-man Demon, etc., were consumed by concepts. Now, the Skin Demon’s concept would likely be consumed by the Human Demon.

And Xue Dili felt the power provided by the Skin Demon’s fear.

He exited the demonized form, embraced the Little Witch again, and with Innovation Era’s perception, he roughly sensed the direction of the human gathering place.

"Hmm... Brother, I seem to have extradited a demon’s soul..." the Little Witch in his arms suddenly spoke, curling even more into herself, as though enduring some agony again.
