Plundering in the Apocalypse
Chapter 189 Demon Core



Furthermore, before she could drink good quality blood easily, but after she felt the vitality of Shin's blood, she was sure that was the best blood out there.

Currently, her situation was like the world's best delicacy was kept in front of a hungry man.

She was barely holding herself back from jumping at him.

Shin raised his hand and activated "Water Magic (A)"

Blades of water cut through the demon's skin. But Shin didn't stop there as he used Purple Lightning (SS) and roasted the Demon's body.

'How sturdy is a demon's body?' Shin brought out 'Formless' and changed it into Katana form.

He swung the blade at the demon's tough skin and understood. Just a physical attack won't be effective.

He thought of something and used 'Purple Lightning (SS)' as a coating for Formless as he used Razor slash (B).

A slash of Purple lightning was sent flying at the demon which was now cut in half.

"Damn, that was cool. Maybe I should improve my sword skills."

In his excitement, Shin didn't stop there and used his sword, which was now covered in lightning, to cut through all the demons. Soon after, all 4 demons were cut apart.

Everyone looked at Shin in shock and admiration. 

"He killed them."

"He did it."

"He saved it."

"Waaaahh."

But Shin wasn't listening to their praises. His mind was focusing on something else. 

'It seems some abilities are quite effective against demons. But Purple Lightning was more effective when I applied it with the sword.'

'Maybe I can try using some Divine energy next time.'

Shin was happy thinking that they may be able to deal with the demons. But the surprises didn't stop there.

[You have killed 4 Lesser Demons.]

[You have gained experience.]

[You have leveled up.]

[+10 Bonus stats for leveling up.]

[Plunder activated]

[You have absorbed 10 stat points.]

[You have absorbed a fragment of Demonic Core X4.]

[Ding! The Demonic Core may affect the user's mind.]

[It is recommended to use Divine Energy to purify the Demonic core.]

[Yes/No]

Shin was surprised by these sudden notifications.

"Demonic energy may affect my mind again. So let's see what this purification does."

"Yes."

As soon as Shin accepted. The Divine energy flowed out of his body.

[The Demonic cores are being purified...]

[PurificationComplete.]

[A Demonic core is formed.]

Shin immediately opened his status board to check the changes.

'I formed a Demonic core?' Shin was surprised because just a while ago the adult Alice told him to be careful.

'I understand now. Because I directly accessed the Demonic energy without a core, it became unstable as the Divine energy suppressed it.'

'Now that I have a core, maybe I can access the demonic energy. But the core rank is too low to be of any use.' 

Shin tried using his bonus stats to increase his rank, but it didn't work.

'Maybe I should hunt all the demons and refine the core using divine energy. My mind won't be corrupted and the core will be formed.'

While Shin was still in his thoughts, Alice and Aurora approached him.

"That was so cool, Shin." Alice said as she hugged him.

Aurora was barely controlling her urge to drink his blood. "Thanks for your help."

"No problem."

Alice looked at Aurora and she had a feeling her eyes were quite wrong. But she has to admit Aurora was beautiful.

When they met yesterday, half of her face was hidden by the veil, but now with her face revealed she looked gorgeous. Her silvery hair and her emerald green eyes. Her pale white skin made her look even more beautiful.

But for some reason, as she looked at Shin, her breathing became a little haggard.

"Is something wrong with you?" Alice asked.

Shin looked at Alice, thinking she had a talent for being blunt.

"I want to suck him."

'No, maybe Alice's talent is nothing in front of her.' Shin was weirded out.

Alice's mind crashed for a moment as she asked again, with a little trembling. "What did you say?"

Thinking that her words might cause some misunderstanding. Aurora immediately clarified. "I want to suck his blood."

"How dare you?" Alice transformed, and her crimson-red eyes stared at Aurora dangerously.

'Alice you.' Shin felt a little warmth in his heart seeing Alice's concern for him.

"Even I haven't tasted his blood. Who do you think you are?" Alice shouted angrily.

Shin was speechless. Thinking back on his thoughts, he felt like a fool.

Scratching the back of his head, he said. "Calm down Alice. Let's at least listen to her reasons."

Alice turned back to him and asked, "You will let her drink your blood?" She asked pitifully, while anger building up inside her.

Shin sighed and said, "Don't forget every day you drink something far more valuable than my blood."

"What?" Alice and Aurora asked simultaneously.

"You suck me dry every day and now you don't even remember?"

Only then did Alice get an understanding of what he was talking about. Her face flashed red in shame, and her transformation turned back to normal.

Aurora asked curiously, "What could be more valuable than blood?"

"It's very important and its essence is far higher than blood," Shin said, but didn't intend to answer her.
