The change in the fingernail was subtle and concealed, but Qin Ran still noticed it.
Qin Ran's SSS+ Perception, along with the attention he paid to the items in his backpack, let him spot the discrepancy immediately.

But now, everything stopped.
The pseudo-curse force allowed his demon power and sin force to tear it apart and devour it, strengthening themselves.

A sustained opportunity to devour power,
