The Great Demon System

Chapter 52: Time Skip



52 Time Skip

33 days, over 1 month has passed since Moby and his servants first visited the country Z cemetery.

Students had no school on Saturdays and Sundays allowing them to have the day off.

It was the day before the first exam for the first-year students.

Moby had been impatiently waiting and preparing for that day for a very long time.

Due to all the practice matches that he had in professor Leo's class, he had levelled up 7 times to level 28.

The class had finally started weapon training which allowed Abby to greatly improve her skills with the scythe. Of course, Moby was still at the top of the class in terms of abilityless combat.

Thanks to Moby's enhanced senses, he always heard his classmates talk about how they will beat the shit out of him when the ability practice starts, which made Moby inwardly chuckle while thinking,

'Well… they can try!'

Moby had wanted to get to level 30 in order to achieve his evolution before the exam. But sadly, he was not able to.

His current stats(including his armour) are:

**************************

**************************

Moby had increased his power level by 1690 over the past month. He had gained a total of 169 stat points,?70 from levelling up, and 99 from doing his daily quest.

He assigned his stat points as follows:

Strength - 40

Agility - 70

Endurance - 19

Intelligence - 40

He has finally caught up to Jayden in terms of level. But, her power level was still higher than his, most likely due to her ability.

Jayden's current stats are:

**************************

Abby had only levelled up once due to her having a much higher requirement to level up of 30,000 XP.

She still acted very knight-like and chivalrous when she talked to Moby, even when he suggested that she should maybe loosen up.

**************************

Moby had been training his skills every day whenever he got the chance.

Moby trained all of his skills but he mostly focused on his "Eyes of Sin", "Demon Flash", and "Devil's Hand" skills.

He managed to level up his "Demon Flash" and?"Eyes of Sin" one time while also levelling up "Nature's stimulation" In the process of training.

Sadly, "Devil's hand" and the rest of his skills have yet to level up. But, he feels like he is getting close.

The descriptions of his upgraded skills go as follows:

**************************

Eyes of Sin [Level 2]

Special eyes only possessed by those of the demon race.

All senses are greatly increased, especially vision and perception.

Allows the user to see 0.1 seconds in the future.

Increases all stats by 12%

Cost: 2 Demon Energy/Second

**************************

Demon Flash [Level 2]

Focuses Demon Energy into the user's leg and does a short dash at immense speed.

Effect: increases speed by 2x

Range: 1.5 meters

Cost: 12 Demon Energy

**************************

Skill name: Nature's Stimulation [ Level 2 ]

By gathering the energy in the air and directing it in his body, the user can replenish his demon energy and mana back to full. The user must be standing completely still and requires complete focus. The process can not be interrupted or else the skill will be cancelled.

Time to activate: 4 minutes

**************************

Many things have changed after his skills levelled up.

For his "Eyes of Sin" Instead of only improving his vision and perception, it now also increases the rest of his senses. Also, the 10% stat increase has now improved to 12% instead. The cost of the skill remained the same at 2 demon energy/second, allowing him to use it for 91.5 seconds when his demon energy is full and he does not use any other demon energy-consuming skill.

His demon flash had a more and straight forward increase. The speed went up from 1.5x to 2x speed and the range increased from 1 metre to 1.5 meters. The only downside is that the skill now costs 12 demon energy instead of 8. This made sense to Moby as more powerful skills should cost more energy to use.

This gave him more of an incentive to increase his intelligence as he will need a lot of demon energy if he plans to level up his skills further.

The last skill to level up was his "Nature's Stimulation" which lowered his time to activate from 5 minutes to 4 minutes. This change is very important and made Moby really excited as he can now more quickly and efficiently level up his skills.

Also, there is a chance that he might have to use this skill as a way to replenish his energy after a retreat or battle. While using the skill, Moby is left completely defenceless making it a huge risk. So the lower the activation time, the more viable the skill will be in that type of situation.

Jayden had been giving the weekly $4000 she received from her parents all to Moby giving him a total of $16,000 over the past month.

He still did not have enough money for any better equipment so he decided to save it up until he needs it.

Moby, Jayden, and Abby have made many trips to the cemetery in order to create an army of undead.

In total, Abby created 9 zombies, 9 skeletons, and 2 wisps, that will be used for scouting.

They had also discovered that wisps were not able to fly in the rain, making them useless in that type of environment and weather.

Also, after some more experiments with Abby's undead, Moby found out that it costs demon energy every time her minions regenerate. The cost was 1 demon energy for 5 hp of regeneration.

This made a lot of sense to him as he was really confused when he previously thought that her undead were able to regenerate an unlimited about of times which was too good to be true and most likely broke many fundamental laws of the world.

Moby had also taught both Abby and Jayden the use of dimensional magic, allowing them to use a dimensional pocket space equivalent to a medium-grade dimensional ring (5m^3).

The situation between Natalia and Jayden had gotten even worse during the past month. Jayden had almost died multiple times during practice, only living due to her demon regeneration and the demon equipment that she disguised under her normal clothes.

She seemed completely crazy and obsessed about the boy that Jayden stole from her to the point that it completely distorted her, or so it seemed from her actions.

Jayden had almost snapped and attempted to kill her on multiple occasions. But, she somehow always kept her emotions bottled up for the sake of Moby, the demon family and for the sake of her revenge.

Every time Moby and Abby heard Jayden's stories of what Natalia had done to her, they would somehow get even angrier every time, vowing to make her regret the day she was born.

For some reason, over the past month, Alex had stopped acting like a mom, always asking about what Jayden did to him. Instead, he acted as a kind-hearted person that has yet to show him any signs of hostility.

Ray had started to develop a little more emotion and he became slightly less socially awkward. Only a little. He had proven himself to Alex and Moby as a smart inventor and a seemingly trustworthy guy.

Moby had found himself spending more time than usual playing video games with Alex and Ray, even sometimes going to the movies.

At first, Moby was really reluctant to spend time with them, as he has yet to completely trust them, always finding excuses on why he couldn't go. But, they always insisted that he should come, and one day, he ran out of excuses.

Moby had his guard up at all times when he was around Alex and Ray. Even if they had done nothing to suggest they might turn on him. His past experiences with people always crawled into his mind, increasing his paranoia, not allowing him to let his guard down.

He eventually loosened up a little, allowing himself to let go of a bit of his paranoia, in turns, allowing himself to enjoy his time with them.

He honestly liked to spend time with them and hoped deep down that they are trustworthy and genuine.

Moby woke up 10 am in the morning, much later than he usually does.

He had no school today and he had been training non-stop for a month straight. So, Moby decided to give himself a few extra hours of sleep to feel more refreshed.

When he woke up in the morning, he saw the unfamiliar sight of both Alex and Ray already awake.

Moby would always wake up a few hours before them to train and do his daily quest so seeing them awake before him was a first for him.

It seemed like they were both wearing their casual clothes like they were ready to go somewhere.

"Moby! You're finally awake! We were just going to the amusement park that was newly built yesterday! Do you want to join us! We have all been training very hard for tomorrow's exam and I think it would be healthy to have a break from it all and have some fun! So? You in?" Alex asked with a smile.

Moby had no plans of meeting up with Jayden or Abby today as they have already discussed their plans for the exam.

'I had planned to spend the entire day training but a break doesn't sound too bad. It's not like I'm gonna level up or lose a level on one of my skills,' Moby thought.

"I'm in! I'll be ready in a sec!" Moby said with a smile, jumping out of his top bunk bed.
