"That's it?!"

Novak furrowed his brows.

Was this really all there was to an SSS-ranked Demon King bloodline?

He had obtained High Elf blood in his previous life, and back then, his abilities had skyrocketed.

More importantly—he had gained multiple bloodline skills.

Magic affinity, super vision, charm enhancement—each ability had its own function.

And yet, the Pure-Blood Demon King only had a single transformation ability?

Sure, the passive effects were incredible.

Immunity to fatal damage meant he had no weaknesses. Even if his head were severed, killing him wouldn't be that simple.

His recovery rate was absurdly high, especially when combined with the Blacklight Virus, essentially granting him immortality.

He was also immune to most abilities, but that was it.

On the other hand, the permanent attribute boost was comparable to always having S-rank or SS-rank gear equipped—a highly practical enhancement.

Still, he wanted to see for himself. 

Without hesitation, Novak stepped out of the Well of the Abyss and activated Transformation.

In an instant, a strange itch spread across his entire body—especially at the top of his head.

A pair of devil's horns slowly emerged, curving into a complex, intricate arc, reflecting his bloodline's supremacy.

But that wasn't all.

A sharp tearing sound filled the air.

His ordinary clothes ripped apart, making way for something even more striking—

A pair of massive, pitch-black demon wings unfolded from his back.

Horns and wings—the true marks of a Pure-Blood Demon.

In the Abyss, only those with wings were considered among its most powerful beings.

Now, Novak stood among them.

Feeling the sheer power coursing through him, he instinctively pulled up his status panel.

Novak's demonic eyes widened in shock.

At this moment—

For the first time—

He felt the true extent of his power.

Unparalleled.

Unprecedented.

Terrifying!

The sheer intensity of his newfound power overwhelmed him.

For a brief moment, Novak couldn't even control his own strength—his movements were sluggish, his steps unsteady.

But the adaptation came quickly.

The raw, unrestrained energy surged through his body, aligning with his very being.

In an instant—

The infernal flames of hell erupted from within him, boiling over his entire form.

His demonic blood roared, testosterone spiking to an unprecedented high.

A heartbeat later—

Novak appeared on the eleventh floor of the abyss.

Beside the Well of the Abyss, a familiar presence awaited—

The Demon Lord of the Eleventh Floor.

Stronger than Odu .

and his ability is naturally more powerful than Odu.

A true force of destruction.

But at this moment, it didn't matter.

Novak, now towering at two meters tall, in his full demon form, cast a single glance at the Demon Lord—

Then vanished.

Like lightning, he lunged—

His ferocious claws pierced through the demon lord's chest.

Instant kill!

Before the body even had the chance to fall, the Blacklight Virus spread out, consuming everything.

At the same time, Novak's other demon hand connected with the will of the abyss.

The Well of the Abyss responded immediately:

[The Great Master of the Abyss has conquered the Eleventh Layer! You have gained supreme control over this domain! All attributes +11!]

And this—

Was only the beginning.

Novak pressed forward.

[The Great Master of the Abyss has conquered the Twelfth Layer! Supreme control obtained! All attributes +12!]

[The Great Master of the Abyss has conquered the Thirteenth Layer! Supreme control obtained! All attributes +13!]

[The Great Master of the Abyss has conquered the Fourteenth Layer! Supreme control obtained! All attributes +14!]

[The Great Master of the Abyss has conquered the Fifteenth Layer! Supreme control obtained! All attributes +15!]

[The Great Master of the Abyss has conquered the Sixteenth Layer! Supreme control obtained! All attributes +16!]

With every conquest, his base attributes skyrocketed—integrating seamlessly into his growing power.

And soon—

He reached the Seventeenth Floor of the Abyss.

The Seventeenth Floor stretched out before him—

A boundless abyss ocean.

Novak had first heard of the Demon Lord's name—spoken by the Kuo-Toa Fishman Demon Prince he killed in the past.

In front of him, a vast sea of darkness.

The Demon Lord of this floor occupation is Head-Bowing Prison Demon!

Stronger than a standard Demon Lord, his power hovered somewhere around Level 30—not reaching the terrifying Level 40 mark, but formidable nonetheless.

Novak stepped forward onto the water.

He was ready to strike.

But then—

A sudden shift.

His power stalled.

The heat in his body vanished, replaced by an icy emptiness.

Weakness crashed over him like a tidal wave.

The Demon Transformation had worn off.

Pain lanced through his skull.

The sheer overwhelming force of his transformation had left a mark.

The power was undeniable, but the cost...

It was exactly as expected.
