Sin System: Demonic Harem After Reincarnation-Chapter 235. A New Hell Knight

Such a thing was a rarity even in the Infernal Realm. Demon Lords would even trade parts of their fiefdom for a powerful heart.

Although there were countless demons in the Seven Hells, only the special ones would have their heart harvested. These kinds of demons were descended from powerful bloodlines and they could even be resurrected if they were strong enough.

However, a Demon's Heart was mostly used to create a strong minion. Usually, even Viscounts and Earls would only have the beating heart of a 1st or a 2nd Circle Demon.

A beating heart harvested from a 3rd Circle demon could force Counts to wage wars. But the one in Jake's hand was way stronger.

Just by sensing the mana fluctuations that it gave off, the succubi felt dizzy. They were sure that this heart belonged to a demon above the 3rd Circle.

Looking at the expressions of those three, Jake could tell what they were thinking.

'I wonder how they'd react if they learned that I wasted one of these on Keirth back then.' Jake chuckled, holding the alive organ that was twice in size to the previous one.

This was actually a mutated heart that came from a 4th Circle demon. Jake wanted to buy one of the 5th Circle but it cost upwards of 150,000 Evil Points.

This was because of the price inflation on all shop items that happened when a new sin was unlocked. Back when he only had Lust Unlocked, the heart in his hand would cost 7000 Evil Points at most.

"Sigh, I should've hoarded more." Jake lamented and went inside the prison cube.

The mad elf began to drool after seeing what was on Jake's hand. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After being half-corrupted already, Issac was naturally attracted to hellish properties. For him, a Demon's Heart was akin to an irresistible fruit.

'Strange… Keirth didn't show such signs.' Jake was surprised.

He thought it would take a lot of effort to feed this demon's heart to Issac but the chained elf was furiously stretching his arms toward it.

Just to be safe, Jake locked onto the man using [Magipathy] and threw the beating heart.

Issac immediately opened his mouth like a greedy devil and chomped on the bloody heart. The sound of his raw chewing disturbingly echoed in the prison chamber.

If one looked at the floor, they could see Issac's shadow slowly growing as he ate more of the heart.

All of a sudden, the shackles on Issac's wrists and ankles shattered. Rough, uneven muscles popped on his body which grew up to be nine feet tall.

Jake quickly exited the cube and closed its inscribed bars. There was a reason he'd made this prison to be so spacious inside. It was to trap this beast in the making!

A terrific amount of hellish mana converged in Kierth's body, forming a halo which pushed not only Valerie and the succubi, but also Jake away.

Issac's skin melted, replaced by squirming red flesh which hardened into black bodily armor. The elf's previous features were completely gone.

His head was reformed with long, red horns growing upward. Unlike Keirth, Issac gained a pair of hollow eyes which spewed out white smoke. However, he didn't have a nose or lips.

After his bodily transformation was complete, the remaining hellish mana formed a large, crimson sword on his right hand which he plunged to the prison cube's base.

Clang!

The metallic shockwaves caused the succubi to close their ears. Valerie, whose face was covered with corrupt tattoos, lost consciousness at this moment.

Jake pulled her close using [Demonic Grasp] and placed her on the furthest corner of this chamber.

By now, the new Hell Knight had broken through the prison cube, whose arrays were destroyed by two swings of his broadsword.

''H-He…"

"My Lord, it has…"

Uriella and Esbeth came closer to Jake. Lucy was already hiding behind him. The succubi couldn't understand why he was laughing instead of being concerned.

''He really has stepped into the 5th Circle!" Jake's irises glowed purple as he examined Issac's stats using [Demon Eye].

As the transformed elf stepped out emotionlessly and faced his direction, Jake slowly raised his hand. The three succubi tightly held his torso, trembling in fear.

When the Hell Knight raised its large sword which was taller than them, a dark fire burned on Jake's palms.

This fire was imbued with the mark of his demonic soul. When Issac lowered his sword, a pressure enveloped his and the succubis' bodies.

But before the sword's edge could fall, the fire on Jake's palm burned the hellish mana, forming a hot trail until it entered Issac's hollow eyes.

Whoosh!

Like an oven coming alive, Issac's smoky eye sockets burned with silver flames. At the same time, his sword came to a stop, its shockwave blowing Jake's robe backwards.

[Ding! Congratulations. One of your maxed skills has evolved!]

[Dark Fire (Rare) → Soulfire (Unique)]

Acknowledging the system messages, Jake glanced down. After successfully placing a mark on Issac's soul, this newly created Hell Knight was now obediently kneeling in front of him.

[Name: Issac Whitelight]

[Species: Demon - (Fallen Titan Bloodline)]

[Rank: 5th Circle]

[Title(s): Servant of Jake Farlen (+200 Reputation among demon nobles), Heathen of Jealousy (Allows temporary wielding of an injured opponent's last used ability), Raging Soul (Disorients up-close enemies by forcing a burning sensation in their minds), Perverted Mind (Suspectible to lustful charms)]

[Job: Hell Knight]

[Mana: 8900]

[Strength: 530 / Agility: 389 / Stamina: 511 / Vitality: 553 / Intelligence: 304 / Charisma: 93 / Will: 298]

[Abilities: Master Swordsmanship (Unique—lvl.5), Watcher's Eyes (Epic—lvl.2), Titanspawn (Rare—lvl. 8), Ancient Mystique (Unique—lvl.7), Crimson Doom (Rare—Lvl.4), Second Form (Unique—lvl. 9), Knight's Resilience (Rare—lvl.10)...]

He had quite an eccentric list of abilities. However, there was no question about Issac's powers.

If a Demon Earl back in hell learned that Jake had created such a powerful Hell Knight, they would surely team up against him.

To be honest, the power and influence Jake held was greater than that of most Marquises who got to that position after hundreds or even a thousand years.

Contrary to Jake's situation, being a demon of a certain rank didn't mean you'd immediately get an equivalent title. 5th Circle was the minimum requirement for a Demon Earl to become a Marquis.

But even some 6th Circle demons would fail to earn this title in Hell. Afterall, you would have to compete with tens of thousands of other demon lords for such an opportunity.

Unless you were directly recognized by the Infernal Will, only other High Lords could bestow such a high-ranking title onto a demon.

Demonic Nobility not only granted you status but also immunity in one's territory unless the enemy severely outranked a Demon Lord.

If Jake were to enter one of the Seven Hells, 5th and even some 6th Circle Demons would be hesitant to go against him unless they were backed by a Count or a higher titled Lord.

However, considering that he now commanded four 5th Circle entities, those below the title of a Prince or Princess wouldn't dare to make him an enemy.

The succubi who were latched onto Jake didn't know about this fact. They were already terrified by Issac who was still kneeling.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, startling the sexy demonesses.

"Master."

As Jake looked behind, the naked, voluptuous figure of the corrupted princess reflected in his red irises.

Standing on all fours submissively, the innocent elf lifted her head and let out a perverted moan.

"Valerie is ready to serve you."

Hearing that, Jake's lips moved, forming a slight smirk.
