Chapter 3837 The Dark Demon Is Floyd
Cheriette soon noticed a similar look of confusion in Levi’s eyes and realized that perhaps he also could not figure out why the Dark Demon suddenly fled. Did he manage to detect the actual level of my cultivation?
Levi dismissed that thought instantly. Not only was the Dark Demon far weaker than him, but he also did not detect any energy released from the opponent to investigate him. Could he be someone I know?
That suspicion caused a grim look to flash across Levi’s eyes. There was barely anyone who could enter Kenfort from the mundane world, much less those who practiced the extreme devouring technique.
Gloria, Xylas, and Floyd were the only suspects thus far. Naturally, he must not exclude the possibility that Gloria had taught others the extreme devouring technique.
However, judging from the Dark Demon’s powers, Levi supposed he had been training the technique for a long time.
Hence, he could eliminate the possibility that Gloria had taught other cultivators the technique.
Judging from his physique, I think the Dark Demon is probably a man. This leaves Gloria out of the equation. Floyd and Xylas are the likeliest suspects. Plus, they know me very well.
A solemn glint appeared in Levi’s eyes as he recalled the details of what had happened earlier.
When his eyes met the Dark Demon’s, he had distinctly felt a hint of familiarity.
Evie mentioned that upon absorbing the powers of skilled fighters using the extreme devouring technique for a long time, the person’s bones and muscles would undergo significant changes. In fact, he might look completely different. Precisely so, people who practice the extreme devouring technique must find a spiritual ley line first. However, this presents another problem—the body’s capacity to endure it. Just by his appearance alone, it’s hard to tell what his true identity is. I can only find out by investigating other areas.
At that moment, Cheriette suddenly asked, “Did you discover something, Mr. Garrison?”
When she said that, the surviving soldiers of the guard brigade and the city defense army immediately turned their heads to Levi.
Now Levi was their only hope left. Every single one of his actions would affect the fate of Yannopolis.
“Nothing. I need to confirm something. Follow me.”
With that, Levi and Cheriette rushed off in the direction where the Dark Demon had escaped.
The Dark Demon sprinted so rapidly that all that could be seen were afterimages.
After running for a long time, the Dark Demon finally stopped in the depths of a forest.
He released some energy behind to check his surroundings. Upon realizing that no one was on his tail, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Looks like Master hasn’t discovered my true identity.”
The Dark Demon lowered his head and looked at his palms, which were almost twice their usual size, and his significantly thicker arms. A helpless sigh escaped his lips.
“Who would recognize me with my horrendous appearance?”
The Dark Demon laughed bitterly. He was none other than Floyd.
Ever since he was triggered by the marriage between Primo and Gloria, he had started practicing the devouring technique at a more extreme level.
He was no longer only practicing what Gloria had taught him. In addition to what he already knew, he incorporated a lot of his own ideas and thoughts.
While the effects of the devouring technique became even more extreme, the side effects on his body increased too.
When he devoured magical herbs and spiritual ley lines, the effects were not as evident yet.
It was after he exhausted all the resources from Bluesky Sect and the other four sects that he started absorbing the powers of skilled fighters.
Ever since he had gotten over the psychological burden of devouring the powers of other cultivators, Floyd felt as if he had become addicted.
Every time he met a cultivator, he would have the urge to devour their powers. It was to the stage where he could barely hold himself back. He had lost himself.
Many sects had been eliminated because of Floyd’s devouring rampage. Eventually, he became a big demon who wreaked havoc everywhere.
