Demon Tamer's Ascension-Chapter 21: Ironridge Territory 4
Those who utilize Demon Energy, which only Demons are able to utilize, aren’t able to sense those who utilize the magical source of mana. And, the same works oppositely to each other. Only Demons can sense their own energy, and only mana users can do the same.
Thus, at this point, whenever Alex would go to public locations. The individuals around him, who have awakened a mana core, before taming a beast or even after this event, are only capable of sensing how much mana Alex has stored up.
Which is a total of zero.
Aside from all these factors, now, one individual was evolving into something greater, bigger, stronger, but scarier.
And that creature was none other than Adoff.
The former grey wolf’s entirety was slowly evolving, not simply that, but also its color. Alex was staring as Adoff continued to grow larger and change its appearance.
Alex blinked.
"Are you alright? What are you staring at?" Adoff looked around, "I guess this is just a sign of my growth."

[New Personal Skills Aquired!]
[Brand New Skills]
[New Skill Acquired #1]
[Demonic Sense]
[Description]
└ E-Rank
└ A sensory ability that allows the user to detect demonic creatures, hostile intent, and fluctuations of demonic energy within a certain radius. By spreading a thin layer of demonic energy into the surroundings, the user can perceive movement, hostile intent, and energy signatures even without direct sight in general.
└ Duration: 5 Seconds
└ Cooldown: 24 Hours
└ Cost: 5 DE per activation
[Limitations]
└ When sensing hostile intent, the user must be fast enough to react, or else the spell won’t keep up.
---------------------------
[New Skill Aquired #2]
[Interconnected Vision]
[Description]
└ E-Rank
└ A sensory ability formed through the demonic contract between Alex and his tamed beast, Adoff. By channeling demon energy through the bond, Alex can temporarily link his sight with Adoff and see the world through Adoff’s eyes.
└ Duration: 2 Minutes
└ Cooldown: 24 Hours
└ Cost: 10 DE per activation
[Limitations]
└ While the skill is active, Alex’s own vision becomes unfocused, leaving his body vulnerable.
└ Alex cannot control Adoff’s body; he can only observe through his senses.
└ If Adoff is stunned, injured, or loses consciousness, the connection immediately breaks.
└ Sudden sensory overload from Adoff’s perspective may cause dizziness after the skill ends.
---------------------------
Alex smiled gently, "Neat, this will be useful, very much so." Then averted his gaze from the interfaces that appeared towards Adoff, "You aren’t speaking telepathically."
As Adoff’s mouth moved, his words matched, "Well, I’m growing."
’Wait a minute,’ Alex thought, then brought his right arm out, "Shrink."
He aimed his right arm’s plan towards Adoff’s transformed size.
---------------------------
[Adoff]
└ Converting to the original F-Rank state.
[Officially Converted!]
[Switch Back By Simply Stating The Following]
└ Manifest
---------------------------
Alex looked at Adoff, who was now the same small Grey-Wolf as before, "Can’t have you walking around in public looking like that."
"Didn’t know I could transform back into my original state." Adoff now spoke telepathically once more, clearly unaware of his sudden resize.
"I didn’t know either," Alex whispered, "But clearly, it didn’t hurt to guess."
Now, with one singular call out of [Manifest], Alex will be able to transform Adoff, who originally was a bottom-of-the-barrel F-Ranked Beast, to an E-Rank, also considered by all of Ashtar as a ’Wild-Beast.’
One thing didn’t change: his stats. He, individually, was still a simple F-Rank, though; now, this wouldn’t last for long, not after the awards he received.
---------------------------
[Wounds Healing...]
---------------------------
Just after the quest completed, both his and Adoff’s wounds completely faded.
’I can live up to 90 now, I guess.’ Alex thought, ’Doesn’t sound too bad, honestly.’
For a while, they were just stuck inside that cave, because Alex hadn’t been given the command to leave just yet.
---------------------------
[State The Following When You Want To Be Transferred Towards Your Original Location]
└ Transcend
---------------------------
Though he wasn’t done, even though Alex wanted to continue exploring Ironridge, there wasn’t much more. It was a place that had deteriorated due to society, where most individuals in a 5th Degree family used it as their habitat to make some money.
The same goes for those who live in a family with a degree higher than 5.
Though Alex wasn’t finished, because he was looking forward to one more thing. His new status looks.
Alex exhaled calmly, "Just give me a second, Adoff, we’ll leave soon." He looked around for a second, then focused on the empty wall in front of him, "Status."
---------------------------
[Congratulations On Reaching Level 5!]
[Rewards For Reaching Level 5]
└ +100 Coins
└ + 25 Demon Points
[Side Note: Every New Level User Obtains +5 Demonic Points
---------------------------
Following Alex’s system, the leveling method goes up by a slightly different path from a linear format. Every time Alex reaches a new level, the amount of experience needed doubles.
For example, since level 1 → 2 was 100 Experience points, level 2 → 3 would be 200 Experience points, and so on.
EXP per level
Level 1 → 2 = 100 EXP
Level 2 → 3 = 200 EXP
Level 3 → 4 = 400 EXP
Level 4 → 5 = 800 EXP
This was why 1500 Experience points led him to reach level 5.
