Chapter 631 - 631 337 The most terrifying powerful psychopath

Chapter 631: 337 The most terrifying powerful psychopath (4000)_2 Chapter 631: 337 The most terrifying powerful psychopath (4000)_2 Casio stared at the Shadow Demon, which turned its head to look back at him.

Their eyes met.

“Why not try cultivating it?” Casio thought it unnecessary to overthink. He could directly manipulate the Shadow Demon to give it a go.

As for whether this might lead to the destruction of this clone.

Casio felt the problem wasn’t significant.

The Shadow Demon clone was in fact just a casual move he thought of on the spur of the moment. Its existence, or lack thereof, wouldn’t affect his main actions.

Without further ado, Casio flipped the secret manual to the first page.

He began to cultivate in accordance with the details and instructions depicted in the illustrations.

Using the Qi of the South Dipper Red Vulture Fist, he controlled the Shadow Demon to sit cross-legged like a human, continuously adjusting the energy within its body.

Casio himself sat leisurely on the sofa, sipping tea.

From time to time, he would glance at the situation through the window.

Half an hour passed, and a change finally took place.

The Shadow Demon’s arms trembled, as if something was moving underneath the swirling dark energy, gradually rushing toward its broad palms.

The Shadow Demon’s body differed from a human’s, particularly its powerful arms, which could dangle almost down to its knees. Its mutated skeletal claws could easily grasp an entire human head. It appeared thin yet muscular, and was exceptionally strong — a primary combat limb.

Thus, when it practiced the secret martial art for the hands, it appeared to hold an advantage.

This was the benefit of its innate base.

Casio could see dark energy winding its way like little snakes up the Shadow Demon’s arms, all rushing towards its palms.

A stream of energy began swirling in its palms, lazily.

Attempting to form a vortex about the size of an eyeball.

The Black Demon’s Hand secret manual didn’t indicate that such a phenomenon would occur. It was probably due to the particularity of the Shadow Demon’s physique. After all, it’s a dark creature that could transform into a shadow, and such anomalies were expected.

Time passed, second by second, and the change continued to unfold.

The Shadow Demon’s arms seemed to bulge with thick veins, reminiscent of creeper vines wrapped around a tree trunk. Its universally ink-black body had faded a lot, but its arms were incredibly dark. In particular, its palms were like two pieces of obsidian.

Any light that shone on them would be swallowed up.

After what felt like forever, everything finally came to an end.

Casio slowly opened his eyes on the sofa and stood up.

He walked step by step to the Shadow Demon, sat down cross-legged.

He manipulated the Shadow Demon to reach out its palm and pressed his palm against it. Mid-air, both palms fiercely gripped each other’s.

Casio immediately felt a suction force emanating from his palm.

It wasn’t particularly violent but was rather weak. However, it was resolute, slowly drawing away traces of his vitality through his skin. Considering the bigger picture, it’s as insignificant as a strand of hair in nine bulls.

Nevertheless, it was a successful plunder.

Remember, Casio’s current physical body was as terrifying as that of a top-ranked fighter. His blood and Qi were sturdy and consistent. That the Black Demon’s Vortex managed to forcibly absorb a trace of life force was quite impressive.

If it were an ordinary secret martial artist, I’m afraid it could absorb a substantial amount of life force. If it was a normal person, they would have been drained dry.

“The effect is good, but the intensity isn’t quite there…”

Casio reached out and stroked his chin in thought when suddenly, his eyes brightened as though he had thought of something interesting.

“What would happen if I infused the Vibration Energy of life into the Black Demon’s Vortex? Is the life force needed by the Vortex the same as life energy? Perhaps we can try it now, Shadow Demon…”

He immediately gave the order.

The Shadow Demon clone instantly did as told, pulling out the life vibration energy that served as a barrier within its body and feeding it to the vortex in its arms. Immediately, the dark vortex hummed and its sucking power surged dramatically. The slowly rotating vortex spun wildly in an instant.

The skin where Casio and the Shadow Demon’s palms touched began to slightly itch.

He could clearly feel a sucking force several times larger than before reaching out to him, plundering his life energy.

“It actually works?”

Casio sensory connected with the Shadow Demon clone. The spin speed of the dark vortex in its palm had increased by four or five times. This situation maintained for several tens of seconds before gradually reducing, reverting to its original state. If observed closely, the vortex was rotating slightly faster than before. “There is some effect, but it’s not significant.”

After contemplating for a while, he speculated that the life energy and life vibration energy needed by the dark vortex were both similar and dissimilar.

They differed more than they were alike; similarity was only a small portion.

Therefore, speeding up cultivation through life vibration energy is a waste of resources. It would be better to use it as a means of burst.

The Black Mechanism Vortex was like a gear, and life vibration energy was like a consumable fuel. It could make the gear spin rapidly in an instant and after fuel combustion, the gear would return to its original state.

Casio didn’t expect such a transformation, but it seemed not bad. The Shadow Demon’s Dark Mechanism Hand was able to burst out with incredible power beyond its apparent capabilities. If used to ambush similar kinds, it could have extraordinary effects. If he can cultivate this special secret martial realm to a higher level, and invest in the life vibration energy of the immortal or even indestructible levels, an instantaneous eruption might have significant effects in battles at Casio’s level.

“The Shadow Demon is a creature of darkness, and the Dark Mechanism Hand siphons off life. It’s quite fitting for a dark creature to cultivate such unorthodox techniques…”

Casio self-mockingly mumbled before turning to go to bed.

Only leaving the shadow practicing diligently by the window.

Before bed, he recalled some events that happened in the past few days and increasingly realized the importance of life vibration energy – it could be useful in many places. Casio thought, since he was already about to cooperate with the Black Mechanism, might as well benefit from it first.

Ask them for some traces of the Dark Creatures’ movements.

Kill a group first, and stockpile some life vibration energy.

Just in case.

The next day, Casio woke up from the soft bed. Sunlight shone into the room through the half-open window blinds, making the room exceptionally bright. The floor reflected a subtle glow.

A single glance made it seem somewhat dazzling.

Slowly rising, he saw the Shadow Demon practicing beside the window, still maintaining the posture from last night and immobile.

“Creatures of darkness like the Shadow Demon don’t seem to need rest, unlike lazy humans who need sleep. They’re really a natural candidate for practicing secret martial arts. They can spend twenty-four hours a day practicing without feeling tired or frustrated or other negative emotions. This should be exploited well…”

Astonished, Casio summoned the Shadow Demon to merge back into his own shadow. He rewarded it by allowing continuation of the cultivation in the shadows, utilizing every second possible.

In reality, the Shadow Demon wasn’t as untiring or untroubled as Casio said. Intrinsically, they were lazy creatures, inherently impatient, and prefered effortless gain. After all, becoming stronger for a Shadow Demon essentially meant consuming more humans.

Casio’s obedient Shadow Demon of course had been thoroughly mind numbed by the Demon Idol Magnetic Field. Its self-consciousness was completely wiped out, turning into an idiot.

It would only follow its master’s orders and complete the given tasks.

Even things it disliked, it had to pretend enjoying.

That being said, Casio is a bit of a domineering character who puts himself first. It didn’t matter what others thought, but what he believed.

Of course, he had always been this way and showed no signs of remorse.

For instance, blaming his brutal side on the Shadow Demon numerous times for peace of mind, deceiving himself.

However, you can’t really blame Casio. It was probably the intense side effects of the Three Methods that made him somewhat neurotic.

As is well known, neither psychopaths nor the strong are particularly fearsome. The truly scary ones are psychopaths with great strength.

On the path to power, there is always something to lose. Be it sanity, initial aspiration, or emotions.

This, will become the loopholes in the strong’s mentality.

To fill in these loopholes, you either have to be at a high realm and let go completely or be like Casio, having his own line of thinking and action logic, convincing, forgiving, and touching himself. Finding a solid reason for his actions, even if it appears psychopathic, is irrelevant. All for peace of mind, then it can be justified.

That way, one can become a mentally strong person.
