POV: Baelon
I just entered the desert of death, and I realize that the mana here is something dirty and bad, I won't be able to farm here, it is getting night and I don't have a place to hide, according to the behemoth hundreds of thousands of demons come out of the desert every night, I need to find the passage opens every day and try to close it.
While flying like the heart of the behemoth and I feel my core start to expand, I land on the ground and sit down, my core expands and I feel I got stronger I started to fly again without rest.

Flying through the desert sky, I find a mountain of stone and decide to stay there for the night. Unlike normal deserts, this desert has various types of stones and buildings on it, it seems that there were civilizations on it, probably destroyed during the invasion of the demons.
I take my tent off the ring and start to put it away, write several runes of concealment on the tent, fix the tent on the stones, and start to read books about the types of demons that are in the desert.
According to the book :
Every demon seems to have at least one of the following pronounced characteristics: bloodthirstiness, lust, thirst for power, laziness, or dishonesty. They are also thought to be proud.
Little Devils
These are the most basic demons of the abyss, and for them to evolve, they need the souls of beings or even many soul demons. For them to evolve, they only have to eat them and they will become stronger.
Low-level demons:
Correspond to a level 1 warlock, they have little consciousness but can differentiate allies from enemies, and they need souls to evolve.
Medium-level demons:
They correspond to a 2nd level warlock, they can speak a few words and can use spells, and they need souls to evolve.
High-level Demons:
They correspond to the level 3 wizard, they can speak several languages of the infinite worlds, can cast several types of magic such as dark magic and necromantic magic, can call skeletons and undead to fight in their army, and need souls to evolve.
Great Demon:
They correspond to the level 4 mage, they are already strong enough to have several subordinates and armies, they are already strong enough to have their territory in the abyss, and they use several types of magic like curses and dark magic, necromantic.
Demon Baron :
They correspond to the level 5 mage, have several great demons as subordinates, have several armies in their name, have several territories in the abyss, and need souls or the power of faith to evolve.
Cursed Souls :
These are the souls of demonic magicians who have been contaminated by the miasma of the abyss, and after practicing demonic magic for a long time, they become demons.
As demons represent various races, their appearance is extremely varied, some demons look like humans, others look like big hairy beasts, others look like deformed centaurs, some look like goo, skeletons, living dead... This varies according to race, where the demon lives in the abyss.

Closing the book, I can understand several things, most of the demons that come to this world are of low level, according to the book there are several types of demons, and several types of magic they can use, they are weak against light magic and spells that use the light dimension.
According to the books, there is the light dimension where the element of light is strong, and there is also the Kingdom of Heaven, where the creator of everything is, where the angels of God are.
The Abyss and the Heaven fight in several worlds but most of the time the Heaven wins.
I take the book about the light dimension, according to the book, the light dimension was created by the God of Light or better known as the Biblical God, you can make a contract with the dimension and use the light element.
Few mages have managed to make a contract with it, many mages make contracts with smaller dimensions of light and use its power.
I start doing the ritual and try to contact the dimension and speak :
"I want to make this contract to have the power to kill demons, protect my family and build my Empire, please give me some of your power ."
After I spoke these words, I felt a connection being made, felt the power of light begin to enter my body and purify it, and heard in my mind :
[ Host a sword appeared in his soul .]
[ Sword of Light: A sword made of the element of light that can kill demons and your enemies, as you advance and become strong, it will evolve with you, you can call it whenever you want. ]
I look at my hand and a sword materializes, it is silver and has gold details all over its body, I send it into my soul and it disappears, I call it and it materializes quickly.
I look at my old sword and keep it in my space ring, I will give it to someone when they arrive.
I start to hear several screams and roars, probably the demons, I leave the tent and look towards the north, I see thousands of demons running towards the south and reaching the forests, I am too weak to try to stop them when I least expect it I see dozens of behemoths come out of the sand and start to fight against the demons.
I am frightened by the image, I did not expect behemoths to do this, it was not in the books, I fly to them and see if they need help, I have to redeem myself, even if they do not know that it was me who killed one of them.
Thousands of demons started to climb on them and they started to hit the ground causing earthquakes, some demons tried to bite their feet but couldn't because they were harder than rocks.
I summon 15 fireballs and throw them at the demons. Hundreds of demons die, but it doesn't do much, and the behemoths look at me with curious and grateful looks.
I begin to regret killing that behemoth, but I think it was also necessary for me to become strong.
"Hello, I come in peace.
They shift their attention from me to the demons, I spread my wings fly to the ground, and call my sword of light, the demons start to move away from me but I advance on them and start cutting, they don't stand a chance, after advancing from core and awakening the angel lineage I got stronger and have more mana, I cut off a few dozen heads quickly and go to the behemoth's feet, kill the demons that were trying to cut off their feet and fly towards the sky.
I cast hundreds of Earth Spears and throw them in the direction of the demons, even though they are not that strong, they reach the level of a level 1 spell and cost little mana.
Demons are impaled and killed, and I tell Atlas to start making a spell that kills several demons at once.
[Host, I will optimize the spear spells.]
[It will take 40 minutes.]
I open my wings and fly to the battlefield, use the Drain life force 20PM spell on the demon bodies around me, and black energy starts trying to enter my body, I use my connection to the light dimension to purify this energy, this black fog becomes a white fog and I let it enter my body.
I feel my mana and my body restoring itself to its peak, I feel my body getting even a little stronger, and I start fighting again, cutting off demon arms, heads, and legs until I hear atlas's message.
I didn't realize how fast it passed and I look at my new spell :
[ Spears of Light: Use your magic to conjure 3-meter spears using the light element, they are sharper and more powerful than normal spears, cost : 2 MP ]
Why is the cost of the spell so cheap ?'
[Because you have a connection to this host dimension, if you didn't have this connection it would be 8PM ]
I start conjuring spears of light and the demons and behemoth look at me with surprise, the demons realize the energy of the spell and start to retreat, I shoot hundreds of spears at the demons, and thousands die impaled.
The demons retreat into the desert and the behemoth begins to lie down and rest, I fly up in front of them and begin to speak.
"I have come to help and explore the desert, if you need help you know where to find me ."
I hear a voice in my mind and connect with it.
'We know what you did, we don't blame you elf, the behemoth you killed was a renegade from our group, he no longer wanted to protect the forest and he was expelled from the group, if we need your help with the demons, we will find him. '
The behemoths begin to lie down and heal themselves using magic that I don't know about, I fly to my tent and sleep for a while to rest, tomorrow when I wake up I will look for an oasis to take a bath, I stink of sulfur and blood.
/ 8 hours later /
I wake up and get up, start to dismantle the tent and put it in my space ring, spread my wings, and go towards where there are more mana demons, flying I see that there are several buildings and buildings destroyed, there are some demons that are immune to sunlight but most are not immune.
I fly towards the demons and conjure dozens of lances of light and play on them, they look scared at me, and before they can react they are impaled and killed, I go to their bodies and use the Drain life force 20PM, use my connection with the element of light and purify the energy, I feel my mana recovering and my body is stronger than before.
' Atlas show me my strength and my mana '
[Strength: 39.6]
[Mana: 470]
This spell is very powerful, I have to be careful with it.
I fly towards an oasis near where I am, take off my clothes and start bathing, clean the blood on my body and the smell of sulfur, start cleaning my leather armor to get the smell of blood and sweat off it, get out of the oasis lake and get dressed, spread my wings and head north again.
With my speed it will take a few hours to reach this place, my current speed is 500km/h.
/4 hours later/
From afar I can see a large hole in a mountain, this hole is emanating a bad and violent dark mana, the desert here is completely black and empty, there is no sun here so I can see several demons walking around.
I go towards the big hole and land on the ground, I am attacked by dozens of low-level demons, I call my sword which materializes in my hand, and I start cutting them quickly, I conjure some light spears and throw them, killing and impaling them in succession.
As I enter the big hole, I hear a lot of screaming and swearing, but strangely enough, the person who is screaming speaks English, no one in this world speaks English.
The further I go, the louder the screaming and swearing get, looking in the direction of the voice I see that it is a girl holding a long blue energy sword, she is wearing Adidas sneakers, gray pants, and a black shirt, she has golden hair.
