Primordial Sin System

Chapter 500-Demon Ranking

Leon was stunned, grappling with the realization that his soul attacks had proven futile against Naga's resilience.

"How is that possible?" he muttered, bewildered by Naga's immunity to his assaults.

Before he could fully comprehend the situation, a sudden impact shook him, and he instinctively dodged, only to find one of his ears severed, blood gushing from the wound.

Naga did not explain her immunity to his soul attacks, pressing forward with relentless strikes.

With a swift motion, she unleashed the Imperial Lightning Slash, her swordsmanship outpacing Leon's ability to react.

"Argh!"

Leon cried out in agony as Naga's onslaught continued, each strike leaving a trail of injury.

His left eye gouged, his arm severed, and his chest lacerated, Leon struggled to keep pace with Naga's lightning-fast assaults.

Only the protective treasure bestowed upon him prevented his immediate demise.

"No, this is impossible! How can you possess such power?"

Leon's disbelief mingled with desperation as he faced the stark reality of his defeat. Despite his higher cultivation level, he found himself outmatched by Naga's prowess.

He recognized that were they evenly matched in the realm, he would likely have met his end by now.

Seeing his comrades defeated and only two left, both in a crazed state attacking Muller, Leon knew he was facing defeat.

"Arghh!"

As Naga prepared to strike him down to death, the Sword Spirit intervened with a firm command.

"Stop!"

aga was taken aback, but she followed the Sword Spirit's advice, knowing there must be a reason behind it.

"Don't strike him yet. He's awakening his bloodline powers, and if you attack him, you might face a backlash from the ancestors of that bloodline," the Sword Spirit warned.

It seemed that Leon had a hidden complexity, bearing a powerful demonic bloodline that even the Spirit couldn't fully identify.

"What? Will he become stronger once he unlocks it?"

Naga asked, concerned about the potential consequences.

"Yes, awakening his bloodline will increase his power, but to what extent, I cannot say. He may not have felt intense danger before, so his potential remained dormant. Now, near death, it's being stimulated," the Sword Spirit explained grimly.

Naga could only hope that Leon's awakening would fail, leading to his demise if unsuccessful.

She instructed the soldiers not to approach him, sensing the danger he posed.

Meanwhile, Leon lay on the ground, writhing in agony, blood pooling around him. His condition alarmed everyone, but Naga warned them not to interfere or provoke him.

Naga hurried to her father, who had already dispatched all five assailants. Muller looked at her, his expression questioning, prompting her to explain what was happening with Leon.

"What?"

Muller was stunned, realizing they were in a dire situation as Naga explained to him.

Attacking Leon in his transformed state could provoke the originator of his bloodline, a potentially catastrophic move.

Bloodline awakenings were sacred among demons, and interrupting one was akin to challenging the originator of that bloodline as it suggests a desire to halt their lineage's progression.

The wisest course of action is to allow the awakening to be completed before taking any action.

In the Abyss, the strongest prevail, and interfering with an awakening may be seen as disrespectful to the natural order.

If the individual undergoing the awakening perishes, it is believed they are not worthy of inheriting that bloodline.

The rule of the Abyss dictated that only the strongest deserved the bloodline, and interfering could be seen as disrespectful.

"What should we do, Father?" Naga asked, her concern evident.

Muller pondered their options, understanding the delicate nature of the situation. Before they could decide, a space portal appeared before them, and Dave emerged from it.

Dave's arrival stunned them. The castle's spatial confines should have prevented such an entry, yet Dave appeared unaffected as if he could manipulate the void effortlessly.

On top of that, Dave didn't reserve his mana or energy, as if he could tear the void with just his bare hands.

"Holy Son!"

Muller bowed to greet him, while Naga bowed as well, and Dave's action made Naga realize how powerful he was.

Even her father couldn't perform such a feat yet. For him, it was like walking in a park.

Dave waved his hands and smiled at them.

"Hehe, the enemy appeared in the territory and brought themselves to their death. I already know the situation, and you don't have to worry about it," Dave said, looking at Naga.

"You have a grudge with him, right? You can kill him. Don't worry about the consequences."

Naga was stunned, and even Muller was surprised, but they realized they were protected by the Lord of Chaos, and they didn't need to fear the originator of the bloodline.

"Haha, that's right. Why do we need to fear the originator of the bloodline when our lord is stronger?"

Muller realizes his mistake for hesitating and encourages Naga to kill Leon.

Naga nodded but was still worried that something would happen. However, seeing her father command her, she decided to kill Leon.

"Don't hesitate, Naga. That guy is very mysterious, and he must have a plan, so just follow him," the sword spirit encouraged Naga to steel her heart and decided to end Leon's life decisively.

She walked to Leon, who was still clutching his belly in pain but was conscious and heard what they were talking about.

"Arghh! How dare you!"

Leon shouted, filled with fear and anger.

"Hehe, this is the price for being arrogant,"

Naga said, looking at him with disgust, and swung her sword to cut his head off.

"Master, save me!" Leon pleaded. He was unwilling to die, knowing that his master would save him when he was in danger.

That's why he was confident in entering the Lightning Empire.

His master was the right hand of his father and was very mysterious. Leon realized that he acted like the right hand of his father, but in truth, his position seemed to be higher than his father's.

He learned his identity as a Demon with the rank of Demon General.

The demons had their own hierarchy, and the Demon General was a high-ranking position in the Demon Realm.

Just like dragons and other races, bloodlines gave them advantages in skills and the number of powers they possessed, allowing them to suppress other demons with lower bloodlines.

The higher the ranking, the higher their bloodline as well.
