The Damned Demon-Chapter 73: How Did We Not Know?

"Did he just…stomp it to death?"

"You saw that too, right?? I thought my eyes were making it up!"

"Is this even a real trial? Is the chamber sending dummies because he is a cripple?"

"Are you an idiot? Don't you know that the Chamber of Hell doesn't give a shit if someone is a cripple or not. It is impartial. Were you sleeping to not see that imp get stomped?"

The voices of surprised demons echoed in the hall as they stared at the chamber with their mouth wide open.

Darren rubbed his eyes as if he was making sure he saw it right.

But the experts, especially Eradicator and Rebecca, were even more shocked because they just realized that the crippled consort was no longer a cripple!

He infused his right foot with his mana before stomping that imp. And the way he infused it was so quick, precise, and powerful. There was no way that imp was surviving that, let alone dodging it.

But how would he know to do that? More importantly, when did he stop being a cripple?

Rebecca didn't know why but she felt something tremoring inside her upon realizing this. Something was telling her things weren't going to be the same anymore and that this bastard was up to something for sure. Did the demon king have something to do with this?

"Praise the devils…This is…This is unbelievable. The queen should definitely hear this," Eradicator mumbled as she was about to leave.

"You may want to stay and watch. The queen will know soon," Duncan said with his hands behind his back.

Eradicator hesitated, but she took out a small red crystal ball to inform her superior.

"Fu, fu, something interesting is happening here? How come I didn't learn about this early?" A woman's charming voice echoed in the hall as everybody gulped upon seeing a dangerously seductive beauty dressed in a dark blue garment coming down with a bunch of men and women behind her.

Who could it be other than Young Lady Sabina from House Thorne? But in this tower, she was the Floor Warden of the 3rd Floor.

"F-Forgive me, Warden Sabina. Next time I won't disappoint you," A young man timidly said as he followed her from behind with a bent back.

"W-We conveyed the news as soon as we heard it, Warden," A young girl standing beside the man said meekly as she followed Sabina.

There were other young men and women following behind them, and all of them seemed to be coming from decent backgrounds based on their attires. Yet their faces were pale, and they seemed as if they were walking on eggshells while following Sabina downstairs.

Most of the other demons didn't even dare to look in her direction and held their breaths.

However, they didn't realize that Sabina's attention was on the Chamber of Hell. She didn't believe it when she heard it. But, now, upon seeing such an astonishing sight of the crippled consort inside the chamber, her eyebrows raised as she mumbled, "Today won't be a boring day, it seems…"

She then saw the Head Warden and bowed elegantly as he subtly nodded and said, "Welcome, Warden Sabina. I knew you would come to witness."

Sabina chuckled with a shake of her head, "Head Warden, is this really happening? Are we going to watch the royal consort die? I wonder how the queen is going to react to this. There is a good reason she kept him alive all this time."

Duncan Doru didn't say anything, but he simply gestured to her with his eyes to look at the chamber.

Sabina pulled together her brows and looked at the chamber only to have her eyes widen upon seeing the Four Armed Rakshasa manifesting in the chamber in its fire avatar. He had a dark orange body with four arms and fiery eyes, and flames blazing on the ends of his hair.

"The 3rd summoning? How…" Sabina was shocked since she only realized now that Asher had somehow passed the first two summonings. But how could a cripple do that? She couldn't make sense of things but seeing the confident expression of Asher, she felt as if none of this was a coincidence.

"Hm, a different kind of fresh meat? Ready to get cut up, boy?" The Rakshasa laughed as he licked the red hot machetes in his hands.

"You are too short for me to take you seriously," Asher said with a shake of his head as he continued to lean against the glass.

The Rakshasa's face darkened as he scowled, "You dare mock my height? Nobody who mocked this rakshasa has survived. I was planning to end your misery quick, but now I will—"

*Swoosh!*

The Rakshasa had no idea what happened, but all he heard was the sharp sound of the air under his head getting cut.

"Where did this wind come from?..." The Rakshasa mumbled with a confounded look, but then his eyes widened in horror as he found his head sliding off his body before dropping to the floor.

Most of the demons standing outside gasped upon seeing the scary Rakshasa getting beheaded without even getting a chance to fight back.

The demons standing in the queues didn't even see Asher doing anything. Then who beheaded the Rakshasa?

"Did he just use his own hand to decapitate the rakshasa?" Sabina mumbled as she clearly saw Asher's right hand form a knife pose before using his mana to cut the Rakshasa's neck. The speed at which he moved his hand was inconceivable for someone of his level. This was why the low-level demons standing here felt as if they didn't see anything.

But what shocked Sabina more than his speed was the sight of him conquering the Rakshasa, "He has a mana circuit? How is this possible?" She was sure his body didn't have a wisp of mana the last time she saw him.

Countless physicians had said it was impossible for him to possess mana since his mana circuit was broken upon birth. There was no fixing that, or did the demon king fix it for him, considering the rumors surrounding his awakening?

Whatever the reason was, this was going to change a lot of things and cause quite a stir. Her lips subtly curved into a smile as she looked at him.

Rebecca's entire face was quivering in shock, disbelief, and frustration. She was expecting him to get destroyed, at least by the Rakshasa, but how the hell did he easily defeat it as well? She was having a bad feeling but didn't know what exactly was making her feel like this.

Darren had his jaw slack in shock upon seeing Asher defeat the Rakshasa without even moving from his spot, while he even had to use his finishing move to defeat it. He thought he was decently talented, but now he wondered if the royal consort was truly more talented than him? This wasn't what everyone else believed it to be. Everyone considered the royal consort to be from lowly origins due to being a cripple and soulless.

But now he felt that they were all wrong this time to judge him based on that.

Eradicator didn't say anything, but she was astonished by the speed Asher displayed. She couldn't think of any other person who could be capable of that at his level, not even her or her leader when they were at his level.

Duncan didn't say anything, but upon seeing the 3rd summoning being over, he said as he looked at Asher, "You have passed the trial, child. Do you still wish to continue?"

Asher saw this old man, and seeing his appearance and disposition, he could tell that this person was a powerhouse. He smiled and said, "I plan to continue till I fall. I hope senior doesn't mind."

"Not at all. The Chamber of Hell needs challengers like you, but you should know when to stop," Duncan said calmly.

Eradicator was surprised and looked at him as she said, "Head Warden, this is a bad idea. He may not survive the next."

"What can I do, child? Only he can decide once he is inside. I don't control the chamber," Duncan said while Rebecca snorted inwardly, thinking that this pesky bastard's overconfidence would be his downfall.

So what if he can use mana? Surely, he would die by the next summoning. Even she didn't defeat it easily, let alone a weakling whose life experience was barely a fraction of hers.

"Don't bullshit me. There is no way that cripple can even pass the 1st summoning, let alone the 3rd," Jarius Thorne scoffed as he suddenly came out of one of the rooms on the first floor. He was sent here to train by his mother to get ready to pass the first trial when one of his lackeys told him about what was going on outside.

He couldn't even explain the annoyance he felt upon hearing such a stupid joke. He was still feeling down after getting crap from his family for telling them about his humiliating experience. And Hearing this was enough to send him to the edge.

Still, knowing his lackey wouldn't dare to make such stupid jokes, he decided to take a look outside, only to have his eyes freeze in shock.

He didn't expect the crippled consort to be inside the chamber, but what shocked him the most was the sight of the demon manifesting from the 4th summoning! This was a demon spirit he wouldn't even dare to fight in his dreams.

*GROWLLL!!*
