Chapter 234: You Have Successfully Conquered The Second Floor
[ You killed a peak A-rank Noble Demon and received 70,000 EXP ]
[ Congratulations to player Daniel Noir, you have successfully conquered the second floor ]
[ You will be teleported to the lobby in ten minutes ]
[ Fallen Will has expired and will be deactivated ]
[ You cannot use this skill again for one month ]
Suddenly, everything returned to normal. The divine glow in Daniel’s eyes faded, his hair shortened, and his power dropped back to its usual state.
However, a terrible pain suddenly tore through his body—as if a truck had just run him over.
Blood started gushing out like a fountain. He tried to use Mana Healing to treat himself, but... he couldn’t? Strangely, he couldn’t use his skill at all.
Until a new notification appeared in front of him:
[ You used Self-Transcendence and have entered a weakened state ]
[ You cannot use any of your skills for one week ]
"Damn it..." he collapsed to the ground. He wanted to cry, but no tears came.
Still, this wasn’t the time.
He forced himself to stand and looked at Velmiran’s corpse. He never expected to reach the point where he could fight a peak A-rank enemy.
That was beyond anything he had anticipated. In the worst-case scenario, he had only expected to fight a mid A-rank.
But who would’ve thought that this Noble Demon had a skill allowing him to burn his bloodline for greater power?
Of course, the price he paid wasn’t small either. But all that aside, what truly shocked him was the power of Fallen Will.
He knew the skill would make him much stronger, but what he experienced went far beyond any of his expectations.
He crushed a peak A-rank Noble Demon like an insect. No... killing him was even easier than squashing a bug.
What kind of power is this...?
Then again, Daniel wasn’t even sure if he could say he was the one who did it—because during the entire time Fallen Will was active, he had felt like just a spectator in his own body. He couldn’t do anything.
It felt like another will had taken control of his body... but his intuition told him otherwise.
Either way, this wasn’t the time to think about that.
He dropped a drop of his blood on Velmiran’s body. Obviously, he couldn’t afford to let go of such a fine demon, right?

[ Creation successful ]
Suddenly, light burst from the sky and earth, surrounding the Noble Demon’s body. After a few seconds, the light faded and his new Fallen was revealed.
As usual, his skin had turned into a blackish-purple tone with glowing galactic veins.
His eyes now shone with the color of stars.
His frame was slightly larger than before. His wings still remained the same color, and the horns on his forehead were now slightly longer.
[ Please choose a name for your new Fallen ]
"Velmiran." Daniel didn’t overthink it. He just used the name he already knew.
"Glory to the Lord."
[ Your Fallen has been successfully created ]
[ You have received 10% of his stats ]
[ You may copy one skill or 10% of his EXP ]
Daniel suddenly felt a massive amount of power flow through his body. After all, this was 10% of a peak A-rank being.
Even this small portion would be stronger than most B-rank Awakened. Well, maybe not stronger than Daniel or the other anomalies.
He canceled the summon for now and looked around. The area was still sealed, which explained why no one had been able to enter yet.
There was still one more demon he wanted to turn into a Fallen. Without hesitation, he dispelled the seal.
"Daniel!" The moment the seal was broken, something suddenly leapt into his arms...?
"Thank God you’re alive! I thought you were dead!" Evangelin held him tightly in her arms.
She had just lost her master. Daniel was the only person she truly saw as a friend.
And besides, he was also the leader of the Faith of Eternity. If something happened to him, what would become of the faith?
"I’m fine," Daniel chuckled slightly. Honestly, it was hard to believe that this cute and beautiful girl was the same goddess of war from minutes ago—the one demons fled from on the battlefield.
After a few moments, the saintess reluctantly let go of him.
"So... did we win?" She asked as she looked at the leader of the faith.
"Seems like it," he replied, staring into the distance.
It wasn’t long before Paragon Evern and Abraham arrived.
"So that Velmiran bastard was a demon, huh? Didn’t expect that." Evern sighed.
Abraham said nothing, but his face clearly showed tension.
"Actually... he wasn’t the only demon among the Paragons." Daniel suddenly said.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Evangelin frowned sharply. Another scumbag among the Paragons?
She turned and looked at Evern.
"I swear to the great god Horvand, it’s not me."
"It’s not him," Daniel said.
"Velmiran told me before he died that there was another demon... and that it was him. Right, Abraham?" He smiled faintly.
"I don’t know what you’re talking ab—" Before Abraham could finish, Daniel suddenly attacked him.
The attack forced him to show his true form. His real body was revealed—a demon.
"So you really were a demon this whole time?"
The saintess felt hollow.
Out of all the Paragons, she had trusted Abraham the most.
"Hmph! You damn humans ruined everything! Especially you, you bastard! How dare you kill a Noble Demon? When the king hears about this, he’ll definitely come after you!"
Now that the truth was exposed, Abraham growled in rage.
He flapped his wings and flew into the sky, trying to escape.
He wasn’t stupid enough to fight a monster who had even defeated his boss.
"Where are you rushing off to?" But there was no way Daniel would let him escape.
He took a step—and the next moment, he appeared in front of Abraham mid-air.
Even though he couldn’t use his skills right now, his physical and spiritual power were still active.
"How did you—"
Before the demon could finish, Daniel struck him down with a single blow, smashing him to the ground and reducing him to a pile of blood.
"I’ve gotten way stronger than I thought..."
A bitter smile formed on Daniel’s face.
He didn’t expect Abraham to be crushed by a single hit.
Still, there was no time to waste. He landed and dropped a drop of his blood on the demon.
[ Attempting to create a new Fallen ]
[ Creation successful ]
Light once again erupted from the sky and earth, enveloping Abraham’s crushed body.
It didn’t take long. Once the light faded, his new Fallen was revealed.
Same black and purple skin with galactic veins—though this time, he had no horns, and his wings were even larger than before.
[ Please choose a name for your new Fallen ]
Daniel simply used the same name: Abraham.
"Glory to the Lord."
[ Your new Fallen has been successfully created ]
[ You have received 10% of his stats ]
[ You may select one skill or 10% of his EXP ]
Daniel dismissed the summon for now and looked at the timer.
Only twenty seconds remained. He looked at Evangelin and Evern.
He honestly didn’t know whether they were still alive in his era.
Whenever he thought of the saintess, that woman he had seen in the Broken Valley came to mind.
Could it be her? If so, rebuilding the Faith of Eternity would be a lot easier.
"Daniel, is something wrong?" Evangelin asked, noticing the way he was looking at her.
Even though they had seen Daniel’s strange skill, they didn’t say anything.
Everyone naturally had their own secrets.

"I know you’re not real and just a fake vesion of the real ones... but I hope you guys survived." Daniel said with a smile.
