Chapter 26

Chapter 26 – Demon Sequence

—

In the aftermath of slaying that great serpent, Lolan Hill felt her strength was still lacking and began to attempt mastering other extraordinary sequences.

Just as she started to sense and try converting mana into the magic power of another sequence, the system’s mechanical voice sounded again in her ear.

A new extraordinary sequence is beginning to form. Should the original sequence temporarily rest? [Yes/No]

Hmm, what kind of function is this? The young lady clicked [Yes].

Then, the emerald transparent gemstone in her consciousness began to dim, eventually extinguishing completely to become a tranquil gray.

At this moment, red magic power began to appear in the sea of consciousness. They emerged from the colorless sea of mana, star-like points gathering constantly, then a deep red gemstone began to slowly take shape.

What!?

Isn’t it said that each life can only master one extraordinary sequence? She had asked Tides about this just yesterday, and this well-versed witch had also said so.

Extraordinary power is bound to the soul and consciousness of living beings, inseparable. If two are practiced simultaneously, there would be immense conflict. Even the original sequence’s power cannot coexist with others, despite the latter evolving from the former.

However, magic power has exclusivity. You might be able to use items and treasures of different extraordinary sequences, but you can only choose one for yourself.

Even the most powerful existences in history could not change this. It is like putting gunpowder and open flame together; a slight increase in the flame will cause intense conflict.

She began to check the explanations within the system, but instead saw a line of text:

[Host privilege insufficient, please advance to Extraordinary Sequence 9]

Damn, is this discriminatory? It’s like when parents couldn’t answer their children’s questions and simply said, “You’ll understand when you grow up.”

Following Cui Na Sha’s records, Lolan Hill tried out six other ways of power operation: War Sequence, Original Sequence, Dragon Sequence, Demon Sequence, Necromancer Sequence, and Magic Sequence.

Among these, there were no Ocean Sequence and Angel Sequence because both were extremely rare at the time, with very few records and incomplete cultivation methods.

After testing, she was surprised to find that the demon sequence’s magic power had far greater affinity than any other sequence.

Looking at the red magic power dancing joyfully in her hand, the delicate light points hovering affectionately around her, like a child seeing their mother.

Lolan Hill felt an unprecedented surprise. If before using natural magic power was like using a bit of spirit to move 100 units of magic power, now it was like using 1 bit of spirit to move 1000 units of magic power. If not for her current soul consciousness not being very strong,

This magic power can probably control even more.

And it felt as natural as raising an arm; the magic power would spontaneously operate according to her thoughts without any hindrance, and she hadn’t even approached her limits yet.

Could I be a born demon, a witch?

But that doesn’t make sense either. There are very few witches in the Demon Sequence; most are in the Magic Sequence.

Why is that? The young lady watched the magic power darting and dancing in her palm like tiny elves, moving in response to her thoughts and emotions.

Forget it, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Let me try practicing and experimenting with this.

Start optimizing the composition of the Extraordinary Sequence, using Demon Sequence 1·Boiling Blood and Demon Sequence 2·Bloodstained Poison as references.

[Please select the main development direction for this sequence.]

The goal is to maximize the use of the magic power in this sequence.

[System confirmed, automatic understanding and optimization in progress.]

[Optimization results as follows.]

Demon Sequence 1·Boiling Blood (strengthen various bodily functions, able to control one’s own blood)

Demon Sequence 2·Bloodstained Poison (gain the ability to poison one’s own blood and greatly enhance poison resistance)

Demon Sequence 3·Crimson Wound (attacks come with extremely strong armor-piercing and magic-breaking effects)

Demon Sequence 4·Rose Song (enhance allies with song and weaken enemies)

Demon Sequence 5·Blood-Red Dress (comprehensively strengthen all abilities)

Demon Sequence 6·Azure Red Songstress (comprehensively strengthen singing abilities)

Demon Sequence 7·Red Moon Princess (comprehensively strengthen all abilities)

Demon Sequence 8·True Crimson Queen (comprehensively strengthen all abilities)

One should say, it’s no wonder they’re called demons; everything is related to blood and red.

The young lady looked at the results the system had deduced. Perhaps due to high affinity, this time the system directly deduced up to Sequence 8, and starting from Sequence 5, it comprehensively strengthened all abilities, with virtually no weaknesses. Such a profession would likely be criticized by other players in games for being too imbalanced.

Unfortunately, the young lady was playing single-player, and balance was in the mind. She was still quite happy; which player doesn’t want to get stronger?

The biggest flaw of Earth OL is that the process is too difficult, and cheating is not allowed. Many people have thought about quitting the game.

The Demon Sequence is an extraordinarily powerful Extraordinary Sequence, chosen by humans in dire straits early on, driven by a desperate resolve to fight fire with fire. It also comes with many side effects, causing significant self-harm; practitioners often have short lifespans.

According to records, after advancing to higher ranks in the Demon Sequence, one becomes an inhuman existence, akin to a true devil from hell. Everything is for the sake of slaughter, and the grimness in the records is shocking.

In summary, the rise of the Demon Sequence represented the most tragic period in human history.

The events, and that nation buried in the dust of history, though defeated, still commands admiration—the Crimson Empire.

This situation only gradually improved after constant refinements during the Second Age, minimizing the side effects of the Demon Sequence and allowing lifespans comparable to those of other humans.

After this system simulation was refined, all the imperfections and side effects were eliminated and optimized. According to the资料少女 had reviewed, this final path, leading to Demon Sequence 8·Crimson Queen, was extremely demanding. It was likely that besides her, no one else could even attempt it, and even if taught to others, they would be unable to practice it.

Lolan Hill sat beneath an amber maple tree, observing the small deep crimson gem slowly forming in her consciousness sea, like a red bud. The outlines of abilities and skills were continuously being engraved into the extraordinary core of the gem, layer upon layer, as complex as dizzying circuit boards.

This time, the deep crimson core of the Demon Sequence was much more intricate than that of the Natural Sequence, but it also represented greater power and uniqueness.

Finally, as the red dots scattered throughout the maple forest converged and condensed onto the少女, the Demon Sequence 3·Scarlet Wound was also formed.

Name: Lolan Hill·Falling Star

Demon Sequence 3·Scarlet Wound (Rating: Legendary Gold)

Natural Sequence 2·Aromatic Breeze Arborist (Hidden, Unactivated)

Star’s Miracle [Mythical]: The threads of fate woven by starlight are altered, turning chance into certainty—a miracle. (Unknown, partially awakened; the host must explore this themselves.)

Sky Wind [Mythical]: A constitution as clear as the sky, incredibly light, making everything perceived as delicate as strands of hair on a bright mirror—clear and real. (Great bonuses in fields related to the sky, atmosphere, perception, and purification.)

Abilities:

[Blood Pulse] (Legendary): One can control their own blood flow, enhancing various bodily functions, and become immune to all toxins.

[Blood Marrow Poison] (Legendary): One can alter their blood composition, turning it into poison, with the type and effect of the poison set by oneself.

[Annihilating Wound] (Perfect): Magic attacks evolved through your powers carry terrifying anti-magic and anti-armor effects, making everything seem as thin as paper before you.

How frightening, even without the talent bonus from Sky Wind, she still possesses legendary-level effects.
