Chapter 63

Nonetheless, this poison method worked well, and now humanity and demonic forces were on an almost equal standing for a very long period of time.

Neither side was gaining an advantage…

It was clear that the poison method worked very well, but the method to disintegrate the bodies of exorcists was still followed in some areas.

It was now frowned upon slightly now that humanity has advanced so much.

Of course, there were some stupid normal people who felt that this was immoral and protested in the normal human cities against this too.

It was a pity…

The strong ones of the past had created a peaceful time now and allowed them to live comfortably without any worries.

With exorcists acting as guard dogs at the borders and facing bloodthirsty and cruel demons on a daily basis, they enjoyed an easy life in the cities.

They were oblivious and unaware, and barely any of them had deep knowledge about the past of human-demon wars.

They had forgotten about the cruelty of demons and their tyranny.

They had forgotten the bloody sacrifice their ancestors had given.

Destroying the corpse of your comrade, destroying the body of your friend, disintegrating the body of your loved ones… did they think that exorcists enjoyed doing such acts?

The modern generation of normal humans had forgotten that even exorcists had a heart and wanted to live with peace, without risking their lives.

Exorcists were also humans in the end…

Some knew of this and respected that, but there were always those who didn't know any better and termed this act of body disintegration as cruel and inhuman.

Inhuman? Calling the people who helped them maintain the concept of humanity inhuman was ridiculous.

Exorcists were beings with powers beyond comprehension.

They lived isolated from normal humans knowing the conflict that would arise if mixed together.

Jealousy, envy, and hatred were something easily gained by humans after all.

And in the times they lived in, a conflict among themselves was the last thing anyone wanted.

Not when they could gain an advantage over demons any moment or lose an advantage any moment.

A Minor-level demon required a formally trained novice exorcist to deal with them at the least.

Although they were the weakest among the demons, they were still incomparably agile and stronger than normal humans.

Their bodies were tough, and they were bloodthirsty, giving them a savage style of fighting. They would not hesitate to tear apart a weak human kid.

And these children believed that they could subdue a demon of that level with their flashy and expensive tools.

It was a pity that they were not better than this.

Oliver could tell that some of the quieter kids had a more serious expression—possibly aware of the threat as much as him.

"Silence!"

The elder announced, accompanied by a light wave of his strong espera, shutting every bit of chatter in the crowd.

The espera felt heavy upon the shoulders and was pressuring them into silence.

Oliver felt the espera and was equally pressured as others, he felt strained just as others.

From his side-view, he could see some of them being normal even under the burst of espera, thanks to their inherent abundant espera repelling the force. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He was still doing better than many due to his superior physical powers.

Feeling the absolute silence, the elder narrowed his eyes and said.

"You fools, don't dare to take a demon lightly ever in your lifetime, underestimate one and lose your life. You are future exorcists and must engrave it in your mind and heart that no matter how weak a demon may seem, never ever take it lightly!"

The elder's words resounded in the silent surroundings, making the children nod slowly while trembling a bit.

They all felt a chill when the serious words fell into their ears.

However, Oliver could still see unwillingness in the eyes of some kids, not wanting to accept the fact that they would not be able to handle a minor demon on their own.

Even the elder spotted that but did not say anything, such children think were too arrogant and would learn their lesson soon in their field.

"Anyways, that is that. I will now be taking you all to the forest, bear in mind that you will be all observed by the elites of the clan. You must be on your best conduct in this event. If you perform well, an elder might consider taking you under their wing… Or it's also possible that you can directly serve under a main heir in the future based on your performance."

Click!

The elder clicked his fingers producing a short sound.

As the elder clicked his fingers, a sharp sound pierced the air, prompting every onlooker to crane their necks skyward. A cacophonous screech tore through the atmosphere, heralding the arrival of a monstrous presence. A colossal shadow eclipsed the gathering, casting a pall over the crowd as they beheld the fearsome sight above.

High above, a massive demonic bird loomed, its wings spanning the heavens like a dark omen. Its feathers, as black as midnight, seemed to absorb the very light around them, imbuing the creature with an aura of dread. Crimson eyes glowed with an otherworldly intensity, fixating on the mortals below with a hunger that chilled the soul.

With each beat of its wings, the air thrummed with power, and the creature's malformed beak parted, unleashing a roar akin to a roaring inferno,

The sound of a roaring fire escapes the creature's deformed nostrils set within a curved nose. From its curved nose, deformed nostrils expelled plumes of smoke, adding to the aura of menace that surrounded the demonic avian.

The creature descended with an ominous grace, its presence casting a long shadow over the land below.

The elder said looking at the fearful expressions,

"This is my familiar, a demonic bird, it's from a species called Ochre Flash, I am sure that many of you have never heard of it. It's a powerful demonic being with strong control over the fire element. And today, it'll serve as our transport."

With a cold voice, the elder directly climbed on top of the still bird and gazed below.

Some of the strong-willed children did not delay and strode forward with tense steps, these children particularly included Nadia, the 2nd brother, Oliver, and a few from Vassal families.

They did not ask for any help and climbed up the creature with a brave heart.

The elder acknowledged them with a nod, he had not told them yet but the test had already begun.

Those smart enough should be able to tell this.
