I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 116 Fifth-Order Demon (Part 1)

For the next six months, Lynn devoted some of his energy to the study of alchemy and potion-making, while also memorizing all the books that Lister had given him.

However, he still couldn't find any substance in nature that was effective at eroding this white flesh.

Perhaps there are some rarer and more precious natural materials, but those are not materials that Lynn can access.

There was no other way but Lynn could try to make this material himself. He wasn't in a hurry. Developing new materials in alchemy is a gradual process that requires time to accumulate experimental data and make continuous corrections.

After his daily potion studies, Lynn would squeeze out some of his remaining time to study alchemy.

Lynn spent the rest of his time learning spells. After mastering Interlaced Lightning, he gradually built the spell frameworks for two more first-level spells in the past six months: Shield and Tranquility.

With his offensive spells already mastered Interlaced Lightning and his imprisonment spells secured by Earth Ring Chains, Lynn constructed a versatile defensive spell for his remaining two spells, and a support-oriented first-circle spell, Tranquility.

The Tranquility spell can calm the target's emotions. It can also soothe targets with abnormal states such as "Frenzy" or "Bloodlust".

Furthermore, maintaining a calm mindset is crucial when conducting experiments, so after learning the Tranquility spell, Lynn would cast it on himself whenever he had a spare moment to stay rational.

Having just finished an experiment and cleaned the laboratory, he then tended to all the magical plants in the planting room.

"Daily task completed: Cleaning the laboratory (Part 2) Clean the laboratory thoroughly to keep it clean and tidy."

"Completion level: Good."

"Reward: 20 general experience points."

-

"Daily task completed: Magical Plant Care (Part 1) - Take care of the magical plants you planted."

"Completion level: Satisfactory."

"Reward: 5 general experience points."

The familiar prompts flashed before his eyes. As for how caring for magical plants could complete tasks, Lynn discovered this after buying those plants.

Actually, Lynn had been taking care of magical plants for a long time, long before she first came into contact with wizards.

At that time, Anglie entrusted him with the care of many plants, but the daily tasks were not activated.

Lynn has now pretty much figured out the criteria for judging this daily task.

That means you must have control over the experiment, and you must own the magical plants to care for them. Helping others will not bring rewards—except for cleaning the laboratory.

"Master, we're running out of money for food," Lauren said to Lynn, somewhat embarrassed.

"Not enough? What happened?" Lynn remembered that he had given his men enough food allowance to feed them for two whole years.

Now the food allowance is used up in less than a year?

"Well... it's because the Brute Demon has been having a big appetite lately," Lauren said.

"So what if you have a big appetite? But you don't have to eat this fast." Lynn said, puzzled.

"It's even bigger than it was at the beginning," Lauren said.

Lynn found the Brute Demon, and then saw the Brute Demon looking at him innocently.

Lynn was too embarrassed to reprimand him. She had promised to provide food and lodging in front of Toby, and he had worked so hard for her. How could she not even let him have enough to eat?

No matter how stingy you are, there's no such thing as being frugal.

"I've been really hungry lately, I really want to eat," the brute said cautiously, rubbing his stomach. "Have I been eating too much?"

It didn't know what had happened; it had just finished dinner when it saw Lynn coming over.

"It's okay, eat as much as you can. Have you been eating a lot more lately?" Lynn asked.

The brute force demon nodded quickly. "I couldn't eat this much before."

The Brute Force Demon hurriedly explained that it wasn't that he had been hiding his appetite at first, but rather that his appetite had suddenly increased recently.

"An increased appetite is a good thing. Normally, an increased intake indicates that your energy needs have increased."

But to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Lynn still gave the Brute a physical examination.

The physical examination results showed that not only was the Brute Force Demon healthy, but its physical condition was also excellent. All its cells and blood were in an activated state, and it looked to be in very good condition. Its blood was in a high-energy state, and it had a strong ability to absorb external energy.

Looking at the brute force demon in front of him, Lynn pondered for a moment and had a rough guess in his mind.

Lynn gave the Brute Demon a deep look. "If I'm not mistaken, you might be about to break through."

"Ah!" The brute force demon's eyes widened. "Then wouldn't your appetite be even greater?"

"A breakthrough in rank will increase your energy requirements for daily activities, which means you'll eat more. However, most life forms can absorb energy from the air to replenish their energy reserves, and this ability increases with rank, so the increase in appetite won't be too exaggerated," Lynn said.

The brute was completely confused. He only understood one sentence: it would cause his appetite to increase.

"Have you been suppressing your breakthrough all along?" For demons, the time it takes to break through is always measured in decades or even centuries. It's too much of a coincidence that the Brute Demon, who has only recently joined their ranks and hasn't received any external stimulation, suddenly broke through in strength.

In this situation, there is only one possibility: the brute force demon itself is on the verge of breaking through.

"Yes. I'm afraid I won't have enough to eat after I break through." The Brute Demon felt a little aggrieved, thinking that it couldn't be blamed for this.

Lynn was speechless; this was clearly throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

"You don't have to hold back anymore. Break through whenever you want," Lynn comforted the Brute Demon.

The Brute Force Demon was overjoyed to hear this.

From a young age, it had a larger appetite than its fellow demons.

In the past, when invading other dimensions, he could sometimes pick up some limbs and scraps of flesh on the battlefield, which could keep him full for a while.

But later, as its appetite grew, it was often hungry when there was no war.

Because the demon lord has strict rules that forbid his demons from killing each other.

Especially after it broke through its limit once, its appetite continued to increase, causing it to go hungry for longer periods of time. Over time, this led it to develop this strange idea.

The Brute Demon is currently in the process of breaking through, which requires a lot of food, or rather, it doesn't necessarily need to be food. As long as it has high-energy substances that can provide it with the necessary nutrients for the breakthrough, the process can be shortened.

Lynn had Lauren buy some energy reagents for the Brute Force Demon, but the effects were not good.

Then Lynn tried some other foods, and after a series of tests, he found that only fresh flesh and blood were most effective for brute force demons, and the higher the level of the creature's flesh and blood, the better the effect.

This is likely related to the absorption organs of the demon race itself; most demons prefer to feed on flesh and blood.

It's a good thing that brute force magic can break through; if it can, it will become a fifth-tier demon.

Even among the countless demons in the abyss, a fifth-tier demon is not considered weak.

Even the leaders of some small demon tribes in the abyss are only at this level.

With enough money, you can buy anything in the Demon City. Piles of flesh and blood are constantly being purchased and piled up in front of the Brute Demon so it can eat as much as it wants.

The brute sat on the ground, grabbed a handful of flesh and blood, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Its cheeks were puffed out, like a squirrel's.

While eating, the brute suddenly had red eyes and his body began to tremble slightly.

"No need for that, I promised to feed you," Lynn comforted her.

"No, I just choked." The brute force demon scratched his neck with his paw.

The meal lasted all night, and Lynn spent 420 magic stones to buy enough flesh and blood to form a small mountain before the brute force demon finally stopped eating.

Its bulging belly was round and plump like a ball, but the ball deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The aura emanating from the Brute Demon became unstable and gradually turned violent.

Lynn shouted at his followers to stay away.

When a demon breaks through, it unconsciously emits a large amount of demonic aura. This aura is not a good thing for weak creatures with a large difference in strength.

"Roar~"

The brute force demon let out a low growl, and the next moment its body began to swell.

The already eight-meter-tall body expanded further, its head reaching the ceiling, causing large cracks to appear on the ceiling, and chunks of concrete and gravel fell and crashed to the ground.

The brute's thick arms swung unconsciously, the blood in his dark red veins flowing rapidly, and the muscles in his entire body swelled up a little, especially his shoulders, which became even broader.

Hiss~

Suddenly, accompanied by the sound of flesh tearing apart, the skin and flesh on the side of the shoulder blade suddenly split open, and two arms that were somewhat "slender" compared to the original arms suddenly stretched out. He directly transformed from a brute force demon into a four-armed brute force demon.

Lynn was amazed. The Brute Force Demon was already incredibly strong and fierce in close combat, and now it had four arms. Once it adapted, its close combat lethality would definitely become even more formidable.

A violent aura emanated from it, and a blood-red wave spread from its feet. Lynn, who was enveloped in the halo, felt a murderous intent rise in his mind.

Lynn narrowed his eyes and looked at the halo under the feet of the Brute Demon. He didn't expect that the Brute Demon would awaken this ability after breaking through - Bloodlust!

Once activated, it can detect nearby units, including some cloaked units.

Of course, stealth and reconnaissance abilities have always been like spear and shield, and which is stronger or weaker depends purely on the priority of the abilities and the strength of the caster.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough." Lynn looked at the four-armed brute force demon in front of him, whose rank had broken through to the fifth level.

Moreover, it was a fifth-tier demon. Even among wizards, aside from extremely talented geniuses, many first-tier wizards could only match its combat power in the wizard tower.

Of course, the greatest strengths of a wizard are their creativity and learning ability; judging a wizard by their combat prowess is the most simplistic approach.
