Velkaria had multiple bodies and could repopulate as long as even one body remained, but she didn’t want to experience the sensation of being eaten if she could help it.
Unknown to her, Beelzebub had no plan of eating her.
He just wanted to make the hierarchy clear.
Although he didn’t hate her, he didn’t like her either.
It was hard to have a good impression of someone who killed him multiple times in the Shadow Trial.
"Now that you changed your appearance, let’s get to the main topic. Can you feel a connection between us?"
’I can feel something like that. Is it related to your skill?’ She answered, still keeping an eye on Beelzebub. The little glutton was looking around to eat something.
"That’s exactly it."
Crownless King said Neo would grow stronger with those he was ’bound’ to.
He gained a skill from Velkaria after using the skill on her.
[Shared Growth], a subskill of Crownless Skill, was supposed to make Neo stronger as long as Velkaria grew stronger.
He wanted to see how the skill worked.
That’s why he brought Velkaria here.
"Your trait is related to mental attacks, right?"
’Yeah, why are you asking though?’
"Train it and rank up. There is something I want to find out."
Just when he finished his words, the trees were slashed.
It was as if a giant blade had cut them in half.
Leaves and splinters flew through the air as the forest shook violently.
A colossal mantis emerged from behind the fallen trees, its emerald carapace glistening under the dim light.
It stared at Neo with its beady eyes.
The monster was one of the inhabitants of Tartarus.
It attacked Neo without any hesitation.
Neo used Dimensional Shift.
He dodged the attack with ease, but to others, it looked as if he never moved and the attack had phased through him without doing any damage.
The giant mantis kept swinging its scythes at Neo.
When nothing worked, it shifted its focus to the eyeball.
’Eiek! Why is it looking at me!?’
"Fight it," Neo said. "It’s only one sub-rank stronger than you."
’Fight your mother! Corrupting those stronger than myself is hard with Void! How am I supposed to defeat it?’
"Don’t worry, you are Immortal in this place."
The Immortality provided by Tartarus was the most basic one.
The monster couldn’t kill Velkaria.
But Velkaria’s attack, filled with Void, could corrupt souls and would kill the monsters permanently.
"I hope she ranks up quickly. I want to see what kind of bonus I will get when she gets stronger."
Neo combed through the forest, stepping over twisted roots and crushed foliage. free𝑤ebnovel.com

His stats increased by 15 (5 Strength, 3 Agility, 7 Constitution) after 10 hours.
The stats were low, but Neo didn’t complain.
He needed every ounce of strength.
His goal was to surpass Stage-9 gods and remove his Bloodline curse.
For that, he needed to get everything he could find and grow stronger.
"Fifteen primary stats is quite good for just 10 hours.
"As I thought, this place is a heaven for me with my Concept of Darkness."
Another five hours later, he defeated a Grade 4 Exalted rank monster and devoured it.
