Without realizing it, several years have passed sihe day Cedric turned into a humanoid navigation that informed Yuma and others regarding the location of demons. With it, the day of the demon king’s birth has also drawn nearer.

  Currently, Cedric is trolling his mind power to observe a battle in the Crystal Cube world.

  Inside a destroyed vilge full of corpses, two groups have been fighting non-stop.

  On one side, there is a gigantic red mole that seems to have maal rowing from its body. The sight of those metal ores are enough to make ah trypophobia faint. While oher side, there is a hurong army full of blessed with Lacius in the lead.

  Lacius who attaihe throne in his teenage years has now almost turned into a middle aged man. His face has ged from its initial youthfulness into one full of dignity that gives rise to a feeling of respe anyone who saw him.

  While Cedric is suddenly feeling mencholid i the power of time. The battle between Lacius’s army and that mole like demon has intensified.

  The mole demon keeps to burrow toward the earth to escape from the army’s volley of attacks. But, Lacius always kept on interrupting its escape by solidifying the earths uhat mole.

  When it failed to dig the earth, that mole’s movement froze for a short time. Which gives enough time for the army Lacius has traio release their blessed power and throear to ihe mole.

  But the tumor like metal rowing from its body worked as a defense meism and successfully deflected most of the attacks.

  Seeing the army’s attacks are mostly iive. Lacius made a motion of raising his palm, which caused the earth nearby that mole to rise and turn into a spike that pierced through it.

  Although that demon quickly broke free from the earth spike that impaled it. But, that attack has caused the metal rowing on that side to be knocked off and exposed the mole’s flesh.

  “Attack!” Lacius anded while trolling the earth uhat mole to envelop its limbs araining it

  Once again, a massive volley of attack arrived toward the mole. This time, most of them succeeded at slightly injuring it as the mole began to scream in pain.

  “Still, the sheer differen level isn’t something that be easily overe by numbers.” Cedric muttered while opening his Divine Sight to observe the demons once more.

  [Life level: Peak level 1

  Potential: Mid level 1]

  In The past few years, the density and range of ive Energy in the Crystal Cube world has been steadily increasing. It caused the strength of demons to keep on rising.

  Right now, the average strength of demons has reached around peak level 0, with lower level 1 demons appearing now and then. The amount of demons also kept on increasing, which makes the situation in humaory to be even tenser.

  Luckily, every time a demon is killed, the surrounding people’s level will slightly increase. Otherwise, most of the humans in the Crystal Cube world would’ve long goinct.

  After fighting an endless battle against the ever-growing amount of demons. The amount of blessed in the human race has also greatly increased to the point it reached more thaimes that of other races. Although most of them are just low leveled blessed at mid level 0, ao work in a team to fight off against demons.

  But every time a demon at level 1 appears, it will always cause massive casualties, mainly because of the slow travel speed in the Crystal Cube world.

  ***

  After a long battle, the army led by Lacius successfully killed the mole shaped demon.

  From the rear of the army, granny Maude and a young woman came forward and healed the surrounding injured soldiers with their blessed power.

  While watg it, Cedric must say that the demon is quite pitiful. Among all humans in the world, he must fight against Lacius, someone who is the best in terms of earth element.

  Under Lacius’s trol, every time the mole wished to burrow into the ground. He would solidify it and make the mole’s attempt futile.

  Lacius also occasionally created ah spike that heavily ihe mole and khe metal uarding its body.

  Without the help of its greatest advahe army led by Lacius soon successfully killed it.

  With the demon’s death, Cedric activated Divine Sight and checked Lacius’s current status.

  [Life Level: Peak level 1

  Potential: Peak level 1]

  “Sigh… He is still stuck at the first level?” Cedric felt pity for Lacius.

  Since he secretly reached Lower Level 1 after the fight against that demon chi. Lacius has been tinuously fighting against demons to the point he reached the Peak of level 1 within ten years.

  But, after reag level 1, his level has stagnated no matter what he does.

  Cedric has also tried to help by inf him that eating magical animals and magical pnts could help. Yet, even after he ate magit and animals daily, his level still failed to increase.

  Right now, Cedric has already lost any hope of seeing Lacius reag level 2.

  Still, he tried to ask the System about how to raise Lacius’s level. A habit he has built up during these few years. Every time he saw Lacius’s level, he would always ask the same question. “System, suggest some method to help Lacius raise his life level.”

  [There are two methods you could try. First, purchase ahat allows forceful breakthrough in exge for the user’s lifespan from the shop. Sed, create or buy a trainihod for your world’s special energy, so the creature inside could train to increase their level. There are other methods, but they are too difficult, take too much time, or are too expensive for you.]

  [Also, please stop spamming the System with that question. This is already the 83th time you asked it i decade.]

  “Alright, alright.” Cedric waved away the System’s st s.

  He has checked the two methods the System mentioned before. For the first method, he has found several items that have simir funs. But their side effects are utterly insane.

  Cutting off 50 year lifespan is already the best side effect. Some will cause the user to mutate or ofteer a state of madness. Furthermore, they all have a success probability that will cause the user to die upon failure.

  There are also Diviems that could increase levels without side effects and are guarao succeed. But they all, without exceptio far outside of his budget.

  As for the seethod, which is to find a way for the people in the Crystal Cube world to utilize the mana that existed in the world. That’s easier said than done.

  He doesn’t even uand how mana could make a creature evolve. So, how the hell could he create a way for the creature in the Crystal Cube world to use mana?

  Last time Cedric checked, the shop also sold power systems that could help creatures to utilize mana. But the cheapest, most bare bone one is sold for 10.000 GP in the shop!

  If he mindlessly bought it, Cedric is afraid he might actally get checkmated if another disaster were to happen in his world while he ran out of GP.

  He also thought of telep a person from another world that already used mana. But, it will cost at least 2.000 GP just for the visa there and the cost of telep a person.

  He has asked the System, and it said, including the material used to teleport someoh a certain level of energy, the fee for transp someone of certain influence, and other fees. The point spent will add up to an additional 1.000 GP.

  That too only if he is lucky enough to meet a mana user with suffit knowledge level within the first week. Otherwise, he would o buy another visa, which massively increased the cost.

  There is also the choice to use Visa to a world with mana and learn things on his own. But, not only is it dangerous because he might get killed in an act. The amount of things he could learn within a week also wouldn’t be a lot. In a week, he should be barely able to learn the basiana.

  Furthermore, the System said there are some slight differences even for the same type of special energy between different worlds. So, he still o acclimate the knowledge he gaio suit the Crystal Cube world.

  Sharing the knowledge he gaio Lacius is yet another problem as it requires spending GP to purchase Diviervention items.

  Basically, no matter what kind of phought of, the cost effectiveness will be around the same as purchasing a power system for 10.000 GP.

  ***

  After reminisg, Cedric felt bored while watg the soldiers the battlefield. So, he switched his attention towards Yuma, and saw him riding a horse with An and Tsukiko.

  Even though Yuma should’ve been a bit older than Lacius. But, thanks to a little increase in lifespan he gained upon reag Lower Level 2 from all the demons he has killed these few years. Yuma still looks like someone in his early twenties.

  Acc to what the System has expio Cedric. After reag level 2, the current Yuma should be able to live for one hundred years at least. He could even easily live for a hundred and twenty years old with some self care.

  Coupled with the vitality brought by the increase in life level and rejuvenation from mana. His youth phases will also st lohan a normal person.

  If Cedric hadn’t gained immortality already, he might be envious of Yuma’s youth.

  o Yuma, Tsukiko has grown into a healthy looking middle aged woman with slightly tanned skin. Currently, she has only reached the peak of level 1. But it shouldn’t be long before she leveled up once more and regained her younger looks. Meanwhile, An has been stuck at lower level 1 for a long time.

  As for Rumina, after teag Yuma how to trol fire reted power and reag the limit of her potential. She leave the party and became the head guard of Winter City.

  Currently, the party of three is on their way to kill another demon which Cedric has located.

  Inside Divine Space, Cedric calcuted the distand travel speed of Yuma’s group and found they’ll still need around a day to reach their destination. So, he decided to patrol the Crystal Cube world once.

  After making sure the elven and dwarveory are still stable, without any trace of ive Energy at all. Cedric pced his attention on the human’s territory.

  Viewed from his mental power, the humaory is dotted by many areas with ive Energy.

  Except for the super massive NE area that’s located around River Stoy, the others are much smaller in size. Those smaller areas are where small sized vilges oed. Before everyone in it got sughtered by demons, which gave rise to ive Energy area.

  Cedric focused on the area around River Stoy. Just like usual, the size of ive Energy mist nearby the River Stoy keeps on increasing at visible speed. Right now, it has even enveloped the River Stoy.

  “Wait a mi’s increasing at a visible speed?!” Cedric is shocked by his observation. “Why is it increasing so quickly?!”

  That’s when the System sent him a sudden warning.

  [Warning!!! Due to sudden increase in y that’s outside of the System’s calcution. The estimated time until the demon king appears in your world has been advanced by a year!]
