CHAPTER 374: CHAPTER 75: POSSESSED BY THE EUROPEAN KING!

The purple light shone on Su Xiao’s cheek, causing him to turn his head.

Bu Bu Wang beside him also turned its head, nearly blinded by the dazzling light.

The purple light lasted for a long time, and when it faded, two items appeared in his hands.

Seeing one of the items, Su Xiao’s heart began to race.

He was holding a fruit that looked like a banana, with a red peel covered in spiral patterns.

In his hand was a Zoan Devil Fruit!

Su Xiao had already guessed what kind of Devil Fruit it was, yet he was still very curious about it.

[You have obtained a Zoan Devil Fruit.]

[You have obtained Demon’s Whisper.]

...

[Ox-Ox Fruit (Giraffe Form)]

Origin: One Piece

Quality: Dark Purple

Type: Devil Fruit (Consumable)

Effect: After consuming this Devil Fruit, you will gain the giraffe form and can switch between human form, human-beast form, and full beastification.

Note: After consuming this Devil Fruit, Power +7, Agility +8, Stamina +10, Intelligence +3, Charm +5.

Note: Devil Fruits fear the sea and Seastone, encountering them will cause a powerless reaction. If more than 60% of the body is submerged in freshwater, a slight powerless reaction will occur.

Rating: 259 (Note: Dark Purple items are rated between 151 to 260; the higher the rating, the more precious the item is.)

Introduction: Power of the Demon? No, this is the power of the rules.

...

Looking up and down at the Devil Fruit in his hand, Su Xiao hesitated whether to eat it.

He had never thought of eating a Devil Fruit, but unexpectedly, consuming one could increase so many attributes.

The combined attribute boost of a Devil Fruit adds up to 33 points—what a concept is 33 points of attribute?

But another problem lay before him: apart from boosting attributes, this Devil Fruit seemed useless.

Transform into a giraffe? Su Xiao shook his head; not only did it not fit his aesthetic, but it was also completely incompatible with his combat style.

After careful consideration, Su Xiao decided not to eat the Devil Fruit; the aesthetic didn’t fit, nor did the combat style, and more importantly, he couldn’t be sure if the fruit conflicted with the Annihilation Law Profession.

If a skill conflicting with the Annihilation Law is learned, the Shadow of Annihilation Law will annihilate that skill. However, Devil Fruits are different; their power level is high. Even if the Shadow of Annihilation Law could eventually annihilate the Devil Fruit Ability, whether Su Xiao could survive it is unknown.

For his safety and to avoid becoming a giraffe, Su Xiao decided to sell this Devil Fruit, even though its attribute boost was tempting.

The development of strength needs a clear route; you can’t just learn any strong ability you see.

Having decided to sell the Devil Fruit, Su Xiao looked at the other item.

[Demon’s Whisper]

Origin: Unknown

Quality: Purple

Type: Consumable (1/1)

Effect: Using this item will grant the passive skill: Power of the Demon.

Power of the Demon: Each attack deals an additional 3 points of true damage.

Rating: 150

Introduction: The power of the demon is awe-inspiring.

...

The appearance of [Demon’s Whisper] is a black wooden carving, about ten centimeters long. It is a lifelike demon.

Seeing this item, Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. Though the damage from Power of the Demon is low, it’s true damage—no matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still meat.

Using [Demon’s Whisper], a new passive skill appeared on Su Xiao’s skill list.

Power of the Demon: Lv.1 (Passive Skill)

Skill Effect 1: Adds 3 points of true damage when attacking.

Skill Effect 2: The level of Power of the Demon can be increased by sacrificing equipment; the higher the quality of the sacrificed equipment, the stronger Power of the Demon will become.

...

[Tip: Hunter discovers new ability ’Power of the Demon’.]

[Detected ’Power of the Demon’ compatibility with Annihilation Law Profession exceeds 89%, ’Power of the Demon’ incorporated into the Shadow of Annihilation Law skill list.]

Receiving the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao fell into contemplation. He had learned other passive skills before, and without exception, most of these abilities were incorporated into the Shadow of Annihilation Law skill list.

This led Su Xiao to a hypothesis: the compatibility of Shadow of Annihilation Law might be very high; as long as it doesn’t involve mage skills, the Shadow of Annihilation Law will accept those abilities.

Su Xiao picked up a piece of White Equipment and tried to sacrifice it.

A black energy spread from Su Xiao’s hand, giving an ominous yet awe-inspiring feeling.

Su Xiao frowned, sensing something was amiss.

At this moment, the Blue Steel Shadow energy within him suddenly went berserk, surging towards the black energy.

"Ah~."

The wailing sounds of ghosts and wolves echoed in his ears as the energy of Blue Steel Shadow began to annihilate Power of the Demon.

"Breaker, you are a destroyer!"

A loud voice echoed in his ears, but Su Xiao saw no one.

"Wonderful, the Breakers are not extinct. We, the Demon Clan, and the Breakers were allies for generations. We once thrived together and declined together. For a Breaker to wield the power of our demons is unbelievable; it’s simply a miracle."

The voice seemed very excited, with a familiar tone, like meeting a long-lost relative.

"This Lower-tier Demon Power is too degrading to our Demon Clan. Third Generation Breaker Don·Silin was once a benefactor of our Demon Clan. Take this, it’s the purest Power of the Demon, without any intentions."

The voice vanished, and the black energy previously residing in Su Xiao’s arm began to transform, turning into a blood-red color.

Blue Steel Shadow energy rushed forward, and the blood-red energy had no intention of resisting, gradually being expelled from Su Xiao’s body by the Blue Steel Shadow energy.

The blood-red Power of the Demon did not dissipate into the air but formed a blood-red cross mark on the back of Su Xiao’s right hand, like a blood-red tattoo.

Finding that the blood-red Power of the Demon no longer resided within Su Xiao, the Blue Steel Shadow energy calmed down, seemingly allowing this Power of the Demon to reside on Su Xiao’s body’s surface.

[Tip: Your passive skill Power of the Demon has changed and evolved into Demon’s Mark.]

Demon’s Mark: Lv.1 (Passive Skill)

Skill Effect 1: Adds 10 points of true damage when attacking.

Skill Effect 2: The level of Demon’s Mark can be increased by sacrificing equipment. You have entered into an equal treaty with a High-level Demon.

...

Su Xiao was somewhat confused, but he realized one thing: the Shadow of Annihilation Law not only had enemies but also allies, and these allies were surprisingly generous.

Attempting to sacrifice equipment, the Demon’s Mark on the back of Su Xiao’s hand flickered, and several pieces of White Equipment disappeared.

After sacrificing all the White Equipment, Demon’s Mark reached Lv.2, enhancing true damage by 3 points.

Acquiring such a passive skill greatly improved Su Xiao’s mood. In the future, any low-quality or hard-to-trade equipment could be sacrificed, allowing Demon’s Mark to increase in true damage by 3 points per level, becoming quite significant at high levels.
