Strongest Demigod System

But the worst part?

The worst part of this all was the fact that Azrael, the reject who didn't even have a God Aspect, had gotten an EX Rank. What the hell was the world giving him an EX Rank for? It wasn't even like he could ever use it for anything! Something like that was going to be wasted on him! Francis should have been the one to have received that EX rank, not the fucking reject!

"Francis! Francis!"

Francis stopped in his tracks and turned around when he heard someone call his name in a panicked voice. He turned around, only to have his eyes widened by the sight before him!

One of his friends was dead!

There was a boy with a black cloth tied on his face before the body, and in his hand, he held a katana he seemed to have used to stab straight through the back of one of Francis's friends! The katana was so black that it seemed nearly invisible in the dark night, and Francis was stunned as he saw his friend's body slump forward as he died. He hadn't even sensed the boy moving.

All demigods had enhanced senses that allowed them to perceive the things around them better than any ordinary human. Their ears could pick up sounds from hundreds of meters away, and their eyes could see much farther than humans, even in the dark. But Francis hadn't even heard the boy walk up to them!

He had heard no footsteps. No breathing. Nothing!

[Silence of Death] has been activated.

The other friend collapsed to the ground with his ass, terrorized by the sudden death, and when Francis got a good look at the killer, he immediately recognized who those eyes belonged to.

The recognition hit him like a bolt of thunder.

"Azrael?"

Azrael wrenched his blade out from the stomach of the dead lackey's corpse. Blood sprayed across the pavement before Azrael spun around in a perfect arc and slashed the neck of the second lackey!

SLASH!

SPLURT!

A crimson arc of blood sprayed across the air like a fountain from the perfect cut as the body hit the ground.

Francis immediately began to step back in fear as he saw this! Azrael had just killed someone! No… he had killed two people!

Even though Francis was a demi-god who was already used to watching fights and violent scenes, he had only seen cases where demi-gods fought against and killed daemons. Seeing a demi-god slaughter another demi-god was such a shocking sight that for a second, he was completely locked up in fear! Like a deer frozen in front of headlights!

For the first time in his life, Francis felt real fear!

Dash!

Azrael seized that moment of fear, dashing forward. Just then, Francis seemed to have snapped back to his senses in time to see the black blade inching towards his neck!

Panic surged through him, and Francis immediately jumped back in a desperate attempt to save his life. Thanks to it, he ended up with only a scratch along his cheek as the blade passed over him! But Francis quickly scrambled to his feet while releasing a cry of despair, and he immediately tried to run away from Azrael to get some distance between them! He then reached into the air, drawing water from the atmosphere and freezing it into sharp icicles before turning around and shooting his arm forward so that the ice would heed his command and fly toward Azrael!

Slash!

However, he never got the chance.

But before Francis could even shoot his hand forward, Azrael was already there once again, his blade cutting effortlessly through the air and tearing through Francis's neck! For a brief moment, Francis remained standing, his eyes shifting to the side to glance into the black eyes that were glaring at him before his head slowly fell forward and blood sprayed through the air!

Thud!

SPLURT!!

Francis had been a strong demigod, but he was nowhere near as physically gifted as Azrael. For someone like him, who was feeling great confusion due to the way his life was falling apart, facing Azrael's bloodlust was too shocking for him to be able to use the little strength he had to fight back.

And Francis's death had been both quick and unavoidable.

Azrael summoned the sheath for his sword from his storage and stored the sword carefully before he looked around once more to make sure that there were no onlookers. Finding none, he ran towards the darkness at the edge of the road and vanished from the crime scene.

_____

Divine Essence: A sacred yet volatile power source, crystallized from the remnants of the soul of a divine being. It accumulates within the user's core and grants them immense strength and mystical abilities beyond mortal reach. The proper cultivation of Divine Essence will grant the user the ability to improve and properly utilize his God Aspect.

_____

By completing the mission, the User has awakened his Divine Core. The amount of Divine Essence absorbed from a divine being depends on the user's Divine Potential. The Divine Core can be upgraded by shattering its outer layer after filling it up with Divine Essence and using the Divine Essence to upgrade the God Aspect Rank.

As the user fills the Divine Core with Divine Essence, the Core will grow larger and stronger, allowing the user to retain even more Divine Essence in his core and giving the user more ammunition with which he can power his God Aspect.

The Divine Core is similar to a muscle in the body. The more you use it and strain it to its breaking points, the stronger it becomes.

The user should also remember that absorbing too much Divine Essence at once will cause the Divine Core to shatter prematurely and might cause Essence Overload. If this ever occurs, the user is advised to expel as much Essence from his core as quickly as possible to avoid death.

Azrael woke up to the unpleasant sensation of someone's feet in his face.

He immediately shifted the smelly feet to the side as he groaned and sat up in his shared bed. Beside Azrael, his bedmate, Richard, was sleeping like an animal with his feet and hands spread wide while his head dangled over the edge of the bed. The mere sight of Richard's face in the morning always put Azrael in a bad mood. But today, there was nothing like that!

You couldn't make Azrael feel annoyed even if you tried.

Azrael shifted Richard to the side with a shove and moved to the only bathroom in their shared space. As Azrael made his way, he passed by various other beds that held two boys each, and some of the boys who were already awake were surprised when they saw Azral smiling. Did something good happen to him?

Reaching the bathroom, he shut and locked the door behind him. Technically, the boys weren't supposed to lock the bathroom door since it was a shared space, but as the strongest demigod in the lodge, none of the other boys dared to challenge Azrael for the bathroom when he was using it.
