Chapter 234: The Demon Prince IV
\'Energy Siphon.\'
[Energy Siphon initiated.]
[Target: Magic Tubes. ]
[Levels: 1]
After that announcement, the energy within the tubes churned, like a lava lamp that had been violently shaken, as if the energy went berserk. Then the tubes vibrated like they were about to explode as the energies inside them tried to escape from their containers. The lights around us blinked and the ground shook like an earthquake due to that powerful energy\'s influence.
- Crack! - Crack! - Crack!
The tubes broke and created holes on the side of the tubes. As shards of glass gushed from there, my partners\' terrified screams sounded.
"Kyaaaa!" I could guess they thought the magic tubes were going to explode.
I glanced at them, making sure they were fine before I returned my gaze to the front. I absorbed the energy that invaded my body, fading the tubes glow slowly. I could feel the energy from the tubes flowing, spreading, filling every cavity in me and trying to blend in with the Demonic Power inside me. Once again I gritted my teeth to withstand the pain that pierced my chest. My sweat started to appear on my forehead due to the pain. Unfortunately, the pain was getting worse. It was even worse than when Lilieth opened my access. Still, I couldn\'t break this skill because the remaining energy could destroy this place. As the seconds went by, the sweat on my face was getting more and more and it dripped down to my chin. My body felt heavy as if it had turned into a burden for my legs. I kept my footing and tried to stay on my legs, but I couldn\'t deny it was getting harder.
[Energy Siphon is complete!]
[Converting the new Magic Power into Demonic Power...]
After that announcement, I lowered my hand and fell to my knees.
"Arrrgggggg!!!!!" I screamed as I couldn\'t stand the excruciating pain that pierced my whole body. My body was like being crushed from the inside. It was a hellish feeling and I couldn\'t escape from it. That energy from the tubes and the energy in my body kept spinning inside me.
My partners called my name once again in worry and tried to approach me.
"Back off!" I shouted. I didn\'t know what would happen to me but whatever it was I didn\'t want them to get hurt because of it. An announcement appeared in front of me.
*Ting*
[Your Demonic Power is fully charged.]
Unfortunately, even with the announcement, my pain did not fade, it just kept getting worse.
- Bruk!
I fell. My whole body hit the floor as I screamed from the top of my lugs in pain. At the same time, the glint in my red eyes was getting brighter. I could feel the energy within my body raging as if my body was too narrow for them. I felt like a container that was forced to contain something beyond my capacity. Of course, I was only level 37 now and I was forcing myself to absorb that enormous Energy.
[Demonic Claw has been activated.]
[Demonic Energy has been activated.]
[STR: 70 + 126]
[AGI: 50+ 90]
[Time remaining: 4:58]
My Demonic Energy and Demonic Claw activated automatically. But unlike usual, the black electricity that covered my body was denser and moving wilder than usual. My claws were longer and the black skin covering my hands was thicker. I started to scratch the floor and created some deep marks there. At this point, not only my partners but Lilieth and Lord Damon also looked worried. Their hands stretched out ready to cast their skills, whatever it was. Announcement after announcement in red boxes popped up in front of me
[Danger!]
[Your Demonic Power is overflowing! ]
[Danger!]
[Your Demonic Power is overflowing! ]
[Danger!]
[Your Demonic Power is overflowing! ]
I knew I had to channel that energy right away or I would explode!
"Convert that power into something else, Damian!" said Lord Damon. His worry and panic were clear from the tone of his voice. I caught on to what I had to do.
\'Add WIS by 20 points, convert the remaining Demonic Power into level and skill!\' I chose to increase my WIS so I could get additional space to accommodate that power.
[WIS: 50] => [WIS: 70]
*Ting*
[Your Demonic Power is fully charged.]
[Converting the remaining Demonic Power into skill and level...]
After that, I could feel my system managing that power and turning it into the vessel itself. Weird indeed, but I could feel my body getting stronger for no reason as if I had gone through dozens of great battles and killed thousands of demons. Even though it couldn\'t be seen with bare eyes and my body shape didn\'t change, I knew it was a real thing. As seconds went by, the pain in my body began to subside and I started to be able to regulate my breathing. At the same time, some announcements appeared in front of me.

I lay with sweat dripping down my whole body, resting my muscles and body from the torment. Even though my DP and stamina were full, the pain was something else.
\'Shit... I thought I was going to die,\' I thought as I panted, trying to catch my breath. My eyes stared at my skill tree in front of me.
Note: The skill tree is in my discord channel https://discord.gg/5P6GKNhB
I could say, even though that pain almost killed me, since I got 8 levels with a bonus of 11 randomly distributed skill points, it was totally worth it.
"Ethan, are you all right?" Olivia\'s voice came from my side. I turned to where the voice came from and saw all my partners looking at me in clear worry, but they didn\'t dare to approach me since I asked them to stay away from me.
"I\'m fine," I said as I got back on my feet and cancelled my Demonic Energy and Demonic Claw. A reassuring smile on my lips. Then I turned to Lord Damon. Unlike before, his arrogant expression had returned to his face. While Lilieth looked relieved.
"You should have warned me if it was going to hurt," I complained with a frown. At least I could prepare myself first.
And he replied to me with a smirk. His hands were already folded in front of his chest.
"But didn\'t you manage to endure it?" he said in a nonchalant tone as if he didn\'t care about me.
"Yeah, thanks to your advice. If not, I might have turned to ashes by now," I said with the same smirk as his. I knew he was worried about me but he didn\'t want to show it. After all, this was his idea. Well, I couldn\'t blame him since he was the demon lord. So he had to maintain his dignity and calmness.
"Don\'t be too cocky. You need my permission to turn to ashes," he said in an arrogant tone.
I let out a dry chuckle.
"Don\'t worry. I have no interest in turning to ashes twice." It felt strange to think of the demon lord before me as my father. Besides, I had never behaved like this to my human father, since he was always kind to me. While this \'dad\' was totally different from him.
