Instincts Aroused

"Tick-tock..."

With a clear, distinct dripping sound, crimson liquid slowly fell from the sharp blade of the dagger to the ground, where it pooled into a small pool of blood.

Fang Li, still clutching a blood-dripping dagger, continued walking forward as if he hadn't seen the piles of flesh and blood all around him.

Seeing this scene, Rem and Ram felt a chill run down their spines.

————"Killer Demon wanders through a hell of blood and flesh"————

At this moment, the impression that arises in the minds of the twin sisters can be completely described in just one simple sentence.

However, this sentence has the power to move the hearts of everyone.

Therefore, Rem and Ram felt a chill run down their spines.

But it wasn't fear.

Seeing this scene with their own eyes, Rem and Ram were actually filled with joy.

"Ghost..."

Yes.

ghost.

Rem and Ram are demons.

Fang Li is also a ghost.

However, Fang Li is Killer Demon can leisurely stroll through a sea of blood.

The extremely bloody and brutal Matoba successfully aroused the instincts within Rem and Ram.

It belongs to the instinct of ghosts.

Originally, the Oni was a race that revered strength and was inherently cruel.

No matter what kind of ghost it is, they all have a bloodthirsty and brutal side.

This aspect manifests itself in the madness and mental instability that occur when the horn is activated.

Now, the bloody Matoba killing in Fang Li are gradually awakening the instincts within Rem and Ram.

Rem, who had not lost her horn and still retained the brutal side of the Oni, was the most deeply affected.

"Ugh...!"

The next moment, Rem let out a low groan that sounded somewhat like a howl, and light began to emanate from her forehead.

"Buzz..."

The atmosphere trembled slightly.

The surrounding mana began to converge towards Rem's glowing forehead.

Immediately, a horn began to grow from Rem's forehead, like a beam of light, slowly absorbing the surrounding magic power.

All that magic was absorbed into Rem's body, strengthening Rem power.

"Rem!"

Ram finally snapped out of his daze, his instincts gradually awakening within him. As he looked at Rem, whose horns were beginning to emerge, his expression changed.

Ahead, Fang Li stopped walking, turned around, and looked at Rem.

In its eyes, a pair of Ice-Blue Demon Eyes gleamed with a terrifying light.

"————!"

Rem was startled when those Ice-Blue Demon Eyes stared at her.

The demon whose horn has been activated will follow its instincts.

Driven by instinct, every living being can intuitively experience the most fundamental laws of this world.

That's the law of the jungle.

Antelopes will run away when they see a lion.

Lions will chase antelopes when they see them.

Who is the strongest?

Who is the weaker party?

Those who follow their instincts will perfectly distinguish these individuals.

Because this is simply the instinct of life.

When faced with the strong, the weak have no power to resist and can only submit or flee.

When faced with the weak, powerful beings will relentlessly take from them. They will either devour or dominate.

Therefore, weaker demons will show absolute submission to stronger demons.

In that instant, Rem's instincts told her everything clearly.

The Killer Demon in front of him was stronger than himself.

Therefore, submission is necessary.

As a result, Rem's instinctive submission, which had been triggered, finally brought her back to consciousness.

"Zheng..."

In the faint light, the Horn of Light shrank back into Rem's body and disappeared from Rem's forehead.

"Call..."

Rem finally breathed a sigh of relief, her body swaying slightly as she nearly collapsed.

Seeing this, Ram quickly helped Rem up.

Fang Li then deactivated the manifestation of his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, looked at Rem, and asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"

"N-nothing... it's nothing..." Rem's breathing became somewhat rapid.

"Don't push yourself too hard," Ram said reproachfully. "You've already used up a lot of your energy because of the curse, and now you almost activated your horn. Your body won't be able to handle it."

After all, while the horns of the Oni can absorb the surrounding magic to strengthen themselves, they also have the drawbacks of making the mind violent and putting a burden on the body.

Rem had already lost a lot of stamina; if she were to activate her horn again, she would truly collapse.

"If you feel your body can't take it anymore, then let Ram take you back to Aram Village," Fang Li said. "I can manage on my own."

Rem and Ram have already truly experienced this.

It has to be said that Fang Li is no longer the novice who first Main God Space.

With his growing mastery of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and the complete acquisition of the Seven Nights Assassination Technique, Fang Li's fighting style had fully taken shape, and he was not afraid even when facing Third Level.

Not to mention, after undergoing systematic training from Fan Xinglu, Fang Li has mastered the complete essence of Assassination Arts and has begun to develop even more advanced techniques based on the Seven Nights Assassination Technique.

With his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and basic self-defense techniques from the Seven Nights Assassination Technique, Tohno Shiki is virtually invincible in the world of Tsukihime.

In terms of purity, Fang Li's Mystic Eyes of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are even Tohno Shiki, and he has mastered the Seven Nights Assassination Technique completely, even continuing to develop and innovate upon it.

If Tohno Shiki can be almost unparalleled in his own world, why can't Fang Li?

Unless he encounters an absolutely invincible being, like Reinhard, who is nearly invincible, Fang Li has a slight chance of winning against anyone in this world.

The reason I brought Rem and Ram along was simply to have them lead the way and, incidentally, to gather information.

Even without the two people, Fang Li would only need some time to figure things out; there would be no danger whatsoever.

Even though Rem understood this, she stubbornly shook her head.

"No, please let Rem continue to accompany us."

With that, Rem got up from Ram's arms, seemingly having regained some strength.

Seeing Rem like this, Fang Li and Ram exchanged glances and then both nodded.

Next, the three continued to venture deeper into the forest.

Along the way, Demon Beast Li single- Fang Li and efficiently dealt with all the monsters.

Rem and Ram, on the other hand, were responsible for finding the target.

Both of them were Oni, with a keen sense of smell. They could detect anyone's presence nearby.

Not to mention, aside from Rem, Ram also has a special ability called Thousand Mile Eye.

A secret technique that allows the practitioner to share a field of vision with a creature whose wavelength matches their own, continuously transmitting that vision to allow them to see places thousands of miles away.

With this secret technique, and Rem's sense of smell, the two of them indeed played their part, guiding Fang Li deeper into the forest.

Until a certain moment...

"Um?"

Ram, who was using the Thousand Mile Eye, suddenly opened his eyes.
