Surviving the Apocalypse: All I Want Is to Find a Husband
Chapter 27: Unlocked Demonic Skills

Chapter 27: Unlocked Demonic Skills

Chekov seemed to struggle with the dilemma in his heart. The beauty in front of him looked even more beautiful than before and he could not control his lust.

"I can’t help it. He will punish me if he knows that I have stolen his future wife."

Medeia whispered in his ear. "But what if he doesn’t know? We can play a little before he takes me, right?"

Chekov gulped. "Ma-maybe I can find an excuse to take you somewhere."

She smiled. "Good. But first, can you get me some water from the canyon?" Medeia bit her lower lip. "My lips are so dry."

"O-of course!"

Chekov immediately ran to the springs by himself. When Medeia couldn’t see him anymore, she called a man who was standing near the cage.

"Hey, handsome, can I tell you a secret?"

Medeia batted her eyelashes and lowered her jacket so he could see her bare shoulder.

Without question, he approached her. "What secret?"

"Chekov said he wanted to keep me for himself before your leader marries me." Medeia tilted her head. "Don’t you think he’s being selfish? He’s supposed to remember the men’s codes, right?"

"He what?" he gritted his teeth. "That bastard!"

When Chekov returned after taking some water, the man immediately confronted him. They began to shout before finally punching each other in the face.

Medeia shifted her gaze to another man. "Hey, handsome ..."

She seduced every man in the room with her sweet voice and beautiful face, making them all go crazy and fight each other.

It was a fun show to watch, but Medeia craved more violence.

At the end, she poured poisonous words into one man’s head. "If you kill them, you can keep me for yourself." She smiled broadly. "We can play in bed every day, my love. Just the two of us."

With those sentences alone, the room became a battle arena. Red liquid splattered everywhere while the men pierced each other’s throats with their weapons.

Medeia clapped her hands and laughed out loud, feeling thrilled by the pleasant sight.

[Calculate the total kill ...]

Medeia widened her eyes after looking at those numbers. With that much of experience point, shouldn’t she have unlocked her demonic abilities by now?

It was the first time she couldn’t wait to hear the system’s announcement.

[CLOSE PANEL]

Her body shook in excitement. She couldn’t help but imagine devouring those evildoers’ souls to craft more weapons.

Many of them were dead, but there were still some people who were barely alive, so Medeia could try her new skill on them.

But first, she had to get out of the cage.

[Activating skills: Demonic Strength]

Medeia’s lips fell open in a soundless scream, her head suddenly felt so painful that she thought her skull was being cracked open by a hammer.

Crack!

Two small, pointed red horns emerged out of her head. Medeia trembled in pain, her breath coming out in ragged.

Medeia gritted her teeth and snapped at the system. "Why didn’t you tell me my body would also turn into a demon?!"

[Host should know better than the system ...]

"Yes, I do! But it hurts like hell!" She exclaimed, "At least, give me a warning!"

She had changed her appearance from human to demon millions of times in the past, but her current body’s pain tolerance was still too low for a demon transformation.

She had no idea that growing horns was so painful!

The horns were even smaller compared to her former horns, yet it was still so painful!

Maybe gaining a skill to erase pain would be useful for her in the future.

[Don’t get angry, Host. Remember, Host C-point is really low now]

"I know. I know." Medeia said, "Just shut up."

As the pain faded, she could feel her body becoming lighter and stronger. She clenched her fist, then pulled her hand as hard as she could.

Clink!

She broke the chain that bound her hands, then released the metal ring around her neck.

Medeia stretched her muscles as a warm-up. A broad smile appeared on her face once she broke the cage.

Her bare feet touched the bloody floor. It disgusted her, but she didn’t have a choice because those disgusting men had stolen her shoes.

She crouched down beside a man who was still breathing softly, even though he had already drowned in his own blood.

Medeia touched his forehead, then dug her sharp nails into his head.

[Activation Skill: Soul Eater]

A faint silvery mist rose from the lifeless body, coalescing into a small, glowing white pearl.

Without hesitation, she lifted it to her lips and swallowed it. The pearl dissolved instantly, leaving a hint of sweet aftertaste on her tongue.

Her body shivered as the strange power entered her body, and her eyes flashed brighter for a moment.

[You have harvested a soul: +70 XP, +15 gold coins].

Medeia hop from one body to another body, harvesting at least five souls. But before she could explore further, she found a masked woman hiding behind a stack of boxes.

She shivered in fear and curled up into a ball. Medeia assumed she didn’t have time to run before the room turned into a battle arena.

Medeia climbed onto the boxes, watching her from above before asking, "What is your name?"

The woman screamed in surprise and nearly fainted when she saw the demon’s face right above her head.
