nWhen Adrian looked at his status it showed his new Species and it also showed that he is now a greater demon. He did not bother to look at the system messages just yet because the three demon elders were in front of him and Ascalor asked him a question. It would be rude not to immediately reply.

nName: Equinox

nRace: Daemos (Half Asmodian)

nSpecies: Netheros (Greater Demon)

nTitle: Champion of the Twin Gods, Undead Killer, Liberator of the Forgotten, Dragon Tamer, The First Scribe, Daemos Reserve Soldier, Goblin Slayer

nJob: Soul Summoner

nSub Job: Scribe (Beginner)

nLVL: 51

n“It seems I am called a Netheros.” Adrian told the three elder demons.

nUsually a greater demon will have a species name with the energy that they have absorbed which is why the three elders asked Adrian. They heard the answer but was not sure what king of energy that his species name was derived from.

n“Do you know if there is an energy called Nether?” asked Ascalor to the two elder demons beside him.

n“I have no idea. You both know I am not the research type of demon unlike you two who bury themselves in their own study. That guy in particular.” Bronx said while pointing at Koronn.”

n“How dare you! I for one only spend 16 hours a day in research. How could you say that I bury myself in my own work when is already a small time frame?!” Koronn protested.

n“Uh-huh. You even slow time just so you could finish whatever you are reading so you cannot fool me. Bookworm.” Bronx said as he had a staring contest with Koronn. Koronn stared back more fiercely as if not wanting to lose.

n“Ehem” Ascalor cleared his throat because the other two were getting ready for a brawl so he asked Koronn if he knew any type of energy with the name Nether because he is the most knowledgeable of the three demon elders.

n“Stop behaving like children. Koronn do you have any idea on what that Nether or whatever energy is called? Something like its properties and composition. It is dangerous for the young lad if we do not guide him to use his powers as it might backlash.” Ascalor asked.

n“I do not know apparently but it might have been in a realm even we are not allowed to go or to set foot in as I know all the energies in realms where living beings survived. It is probably from a higher plane of existence. I do not know how that brat had his hands on that type of energy but he is lucky that his body did not break down and scatter in the wind.” Koronn said as he looked at Adrian like a specimen for an experiment.

n“Since we do not know what energy he has communed with, we shall observe him for a while when he is on missions. That is why Equinox brat, you must visit back at the Paradox Planes if you feel you are not well or your powers are not working properly. We will conduct an inspection on your body after you have collected yourself here so that you know the properties of your new found power. Also get some clothes on, how can you be so shameless and still not get dressed properly?” Ascalor said as the three demon elders went back to their respective tasks.

nAdrian on the other hand has finally been aware that his clothing was gone and he was in the default underwear. He suddenly felt very shy and looked for his clothing in his inventory. He retracted his cool new wings and equipped his weapon, armor and accessories back on before looking at the system messages.

nAdrian who observed his skills rubbed his eyes in amazement because all the skills he got was powerful and very versatile.

nAdrian was so pleased with what he received that he skipped happily towards Ascalor’s abode without even paying attention to the stares he was given.
