Chapter 265: Chapter 47: The Tables Turn! Slave–Shawn! (Part 2)

"The kind that can blow up a legendary demon?"

"What kind of enemy are you dealing with?"

Shawn pondered for a moment, looking at the Fire Burning Demon before him. The demon’s skin became increasingly scorched, and beneath the cracked skin, sparks flowed — signs of imminent ascension. It was uncertain whether his next step would be to become a Balrog or a Flame Demon. The ascension of a Balrog is divisible as this path fuses demon bloodline and elemental law.

A lesser Balrog is a standard lower demon lord.

If he chooses to ascend as a Flame Demon, Orn’s body will become elementalized. If he chooses the lesser Balrog, he will be enhancing his demon bloodline.

The Fire Burning Demon - Orn fell into deep thought and slowly said, "I do indeed have an explosive artifact of immense power."

"However..."

He hesitated, looking at Shawn before him and said, "It is one of the elements of my ascension."

"It comes from the Extraordinary Relics of high-level demons."

"If I modify it slightly, the power would be roughly akin to the ’Body-Burning Burst’ upon a Balrog Flame Demon’s death."

Body-Burning Burst.

The signature ability of a Balrog Flame Demon, when it dies, it immediately explodes in brilliant flashes.

In the Magic Ring, Gandalf was almost blown to death by a Flame Demon. After slaying a Flame Demon, Gandalf directly ascended and became the White Robe Sword Saint - Gandalf.

As a wizard, he forged the name of a Sword Saint.

Sword Saint - Gandalf was extraordinary.

Shawn certainly knew how valuable such an Extraordinary Relic is to the Fire Burning Demon before him.

But he indeed needs a bit of external assistance right now, as Shawn’s own offensive means still have shortcomings. After all, he ascended not long ago, and there are many spell abilities yet to be completed. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The Fire Burning Demon - Orn pondered for a moment and said, "Give me half an hour, I will help you modify it and inscribe explosion runes."

This was equivalent to a gamble.

Shawn’s support had always yielded rewards, and the Fire Burning Demon decided to bring out his ascension relic to accompany Shawn on a big gamble.

Shawn looked at the demon’s cracked visage and nodded slightly, "I will definitely help you find a new ascension relic."

If he could obtain the dominion of the Law of Earth, all of Shawn’s future plans could be realized.

He could even create a Space Fortress with his bare hands!

The Fire Burning Demon nodded slightly, his whole body seeming like a lit torch with bits of sparks appearing beneath his skin. He quickly entered the Alchemy Laboratory to prepare the upgraded ’Hellfire’ Shawn needed. Using the Extraordinary Relic of a legendary demon to make a super bomb with power equivalent to the Balrog Flame Demon’s self-destruct spell.

Once everything was ready, Shawn returned to the Deep Pit Mine.

A mage’s mobility far surpasses other extraordinary paths. For short distances, there’s Dimensional Jump, for medium distances, there’s the Any Gate, and for long distances, there’s the Teleportation Gate. At level 9, there’s the group teleportation Teleportation Array.

This time, he didn’t bring any companions, as he preferred moving in and out at his own leisure.

Besides, he doesn’t lack free muscle in the underground world.

Worm’s Nest.

This is roughly a two-thousand-population underground city. In the surface world, it may just be a small town, not even as big as larger villages. But in the peril-filled underground world, such a large underground city is considered dominant.

A typical monster nest only has dozens to a couple hundred of inhabitants, and most are just dominated and enslaved other creatures.

— Transformation Technique (4-ring spell).

Shawn’s figure transformed into a human subspecies, a cyclopean cave-dweller. Upon changing into this monster, he gained the ability of Dark Vision. His original strength, agility and constitution were completely replaced, becoming the basic attributes of this creature. Only his intelligence, perception, and charm remained.

For a mage in close combat, the power attribute is not important, as the transformation uses other species’ racial templates.

This underground city occupies a considerable area, with a six-meter-high stone wall encircling the outside. The rear side leans against the mountains, all built using the ’Mud into Stone’ spell.

The spell duration is permanent.

"Using the dominion of the Law of Earth for construction is practically like having a cheat code."

"No wonder they built an underground city so quickly."

In front of Shawn was a Heart Stealer, which had already been mind dominated by Shawn. He mixed in with the enslaved mutated creatures and easily passed through layers of guarded gates.

With Shawn’s current abilities, infiltrating a city is exceedingly easy.

He can transform into anyone and completely replace their identity, even capable of reading their thoughts and memories. If Shawn further embraced darkness, he could be anyone’s father, husband, brother, etc. In the absence of personal restraint, he could even be anyone’s spouse.

Gender is no longer a barrier to his transformation. Upon fully reading someone’s memory and thoughts, Shawn could theoretically play any role.

This is the power of ascension through both arcane magic and mind paths.

Aemon directed him to a dark force, and the only restraint on Shawn is his own morality.

Of course, he himself still somewhat resists transforming into a female.

A mage is a mage precisely because they can adapt to any situation. Shawn used Mind Domination and Suggestion Technique, combined with a small personal transformation, easily infiltrated this monster-owned underground city.
