Chapter 016: Another Promotion

After obtaining the summoning array to summon Mrs. Gremory's true form, Wang Bo did not immediately head to Hell. He planned to go to San Venganza first, summon the fallen souls, and upgrade the demons under his command.

After he explained his plan to Hela, she did not object.

"Fine, I agree."

On the contrary, Hela fully approved.

Because she had just returned from Hell, and not long ago she had fought Mephisto, consuming a great deal of power, so her strength was not at its peak.

Thus she needed time to recover.

When her injuries healed and her strength returned to its peak, it wouldn't be too late to settle accounts with Mephisto.

So the two left St. Michael's Church and headed for San Venganza.

Along the way, they encountered no obstacles.

Wang Bo remembered that Mephisto's son, Blackheart, was also looking for the San Venganza Covenant, but obviously Blackheart did not know that the Covenant had already fallen into his hands.

He should still be wandering around that city, searching for the Covenant's whereabouts.

Thinking of this, Wang Bo asked Hela, "When you clashed with Mephisto, did you notice another demon?"

Hela nodded and said, "There was indeed a young demon."

Wang Bo asked with interest, "And then? What happened to that demon?"

"He died."

"Died?" Wang Bo was somewhat surprised and couldn't help asking, "How did he die?"

Hela said casually, "He was too arrogant and disrespectful to me, so I killed him."

Wang Bo: ...

Thinking carefully, Blackheart didn't even take his own father Mephisto seriously,一心 wanting to obtain the San Venganza Covenant to enhance his power and dominate the mortal world.

It wasn't strange that he didn't take Hela seriously.

Many people have this mindset of 'I'm second only to Heaven,' not just Blackheart. He was just unlucky enough to encounter Hela, whose strength ensured that he couldn't provoke her.

The result proved this.

Wang Bo said, "I remember there were a few Banishment Demons with that young demon."

These Banishment Demons were actually fallen angels, hidden within the elements, wandering the mortal world, eventually heeding Blackheart's summons and working for him.

But they were all killed by the Ghost Rider.

Hela shook her head and said, "I didn't see any other demons."

"Forget it then." Wang Bo had originally wanted to capture those Banishment Demons and hand them over to his own demons. Since Hela hadn't seen them either, he abandoned the idea.

Before long, Wang Bo drove the car to San Venganza.

It had once been a nice village, but now it was dilapidated.

Collapsed walls, broken windows, a constant chill in the air; the soil was full of death, almost barren.

The sunlight pouring down from the sky was still not enough to melt the gloomy atmosphere of the village.

It was like a tomb.

And in fact, San Venganza was indeed a tomb. The village buried over a thousand fallen souls, which for demons was undoubtedly a great tonic.

After entering San Venganza, Wang Bo waved his hand and summoned the demons under his command from the Time Villa.

One by one, demons appeared beside Wang Bo.

Not many, only a few dozen.

These were all mid-level demons that had just recently advanced. Although San Venganza had over a thousand fallen souls, Wang Bo had even more demons. The thousand fallen souls were a drop in the bucket for his demons.

So Wang Bo focused on cultivating these already advanced mid-level demons.

He took out the San Venganza Covenant, gave it a gentle shake, and activated it. The originally cold San Venganza was immediately shrouded in a terrible shadow, with thick clouds gathering overhead, blocking the sunlight.

The once silent town suddenly stirred with commotion.

Sharp screams, desperate shouts, painful wails—one by one, fallen souls crawled out from the broken houses and the layers of yin energy underground.

In an instant, the small town was filled with thousands of fallen souls.

These long-fallen spirits glared venomously at Wang Bo, who held the Covenant. They wailed, raged, and cursed, amidst rolling gusts of yin wind, terrifyingly eerie.

If an ordinary person were here, they would probably be scared out of their wits, or even have their soul scattered.

But Wang Bo was not afraid.

Hela was even more accustomed to such scenes.

As for Wang Bo's demons, they were already drooling. So many fallen souls were a feast for them.

Wang Bo shook the Covenant, and the countless fallen souls, unable to resist its magic, turned into wisps of smoke and rushed over.

At the same time, Wang Bo gave the order.

His demons, like tigers released from their cages, pounced on them, grabbing one with each hand and biting another, devouring the fallen souls.

Before long, the differences among the demons became apparent.

Some demons couldn't eat more after a few fallen souls.

But others ate voraciously. One female demon, like a glutton, devoured hundreds of fallen souls in the blink of an eye.

Her powerful magic surged like a rocket, breaking through the limit in an instant and successfully advancing to become an upper-level demon.

After becoming an upper-level demon, this female demon showed her greedy nature. With a wave of her hand, she knocked away the demons beside her and seized more fallen souls.

Just then, two more demons broke through.

After advancing, seeing that Wang Bo did not punish the female demon, they followed suit, knocking away the surrounding demons and taking more fallen souls.

In the end, the three upper-level demons almost snatched up all the remaining fallen souls.

The other demons, afraid of the three upper-level demons, dared not snatch them back. They looked at Wang Bo with pleading eyes, hoping he would stand up for them.

Wang Bo thought for a moment, then took a portion of the fallen souls snatched by the three upper-level demons and gave them to the other demons, leaving the rest to the three.

The three upper-level demons dared not show any dissatisfaction. They respectfully bowed to Wang Bo and then devoured the fallen souls.

The other demons shared the fallen souls Wang Bo had distributed, but none of them advanced, which somewhat disappointed Wang Bo.
