Val's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint flashing through them. By lunging at him, this ugly bald head had just signed its death warrant.

Patting his new cursed sword, Val spoke, "Time to get to work, Voidslayer."

"Just say the word, master," Voidslayer said.

"I need you to rage," Val commanded.

"As you wish, master," Voidslayer said as it spat out a crimson arc of light.

Whoosh!

The arc cut through the air as it flew forward, rivaling the hideous creature's speed. The arc was extremely thin, almost invisible, yet it held an intense sharpness that threatened to rip apart everything in its path. It held unparalleled lethal power. The creatures sensed it and felt afraid, but it made too big a mistake to block or dodge it!

The creature was in such a compromising position that it was unable to evade the incoming assault. It could do nothing as the crimson arc passed through it, cutting it clean in two halves from the middle.



Exactly as Val had anticipated, the two halves of the terrifying creature fell to the ground with a dull thud. But what occurred next was out of his expectations; flesh began to grow from its two halves, transforming each part into a complete body at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Val had a realization then; this thing... It was freaking immortal!

Now there were two ugly bald heads!

The danger he was in had now doubled.

He tried inspecting them using detect but failed. It was like he expected, the creatures couldn't be inspected because just like his Heavenly Eye, his Detect Trait also had limitations.

A) It couldn't inspect beings that were way more powerful than him.

B) It couldn't evaluate the power level of beings overflowing with corruption. The force of corruption was like an impenetrable wall that blocked his Detect Trait from working properly!

"Now instead of one, there are two Uglyfaces!" The Voidslayer cried out in panic as the two halves of the Uglyface grew into two whole Uglyfaces!

The Uglyfaces didn't instantly attack. Instead, they looked at Val warily. Although they looked like that, Val could tell that they were preparing to jump on him anytime as his sixth sense was tingling. He had no doubt that the second he turn his back to them and try to go back the way he came from, they would attack!

However, he had no intention of retreating. He had come to perform exorcism by force and he won't leave until he had succeeded. Not to mention, he now knew such evil creatures were lurking beneath his residence. He wouldn't be able to sleep in peace until he get rid of them!

"Stop panicking. This situation will only get worse for us if we panic," Val advised the Voidslayer calmly before continuing, "And if you've calmed down, tell me what you know about the Uglyfaces."

Val couldn't gauge any information about the Uglyfaces as his Detect Trait wasn't working on them. He could only depend on the ancient spirit sword to gain a better understanding of the things he was dealing with.

"I've only just awakened from an age-long slumber, my memories are still a bit foggy," Voidslayer said.

There were side effects to being sealed for many years. Its memory was affected. Although it remembered its creator and wielder with great clarity, everything else was coming back to it in bits and pieces.

The side effects were so bad that it hadn't even recognized what the monster with eight hands was when it first laid its eyes on it. Otherwise, it would've stopped Val from making the mistake of using the Crimson Slash skill to chop the Ugly face apart.

"Everything starts with believing in oneself. Believe that you can do it and give it a try. Maybe you will remember more than just their name," Val reassured it.

"Alright, I'll try."

Encouraged by Val's words, Voidslayer decided to recall what it knew about the Uglyface devils. One can't make an omelet without breaking eggs. It was impossible to make an achievement without making putting in any effort, but if one were to make an effort towards a certain goal, one would achieve something no matter how little. As Voidslayer tried its best to remember useful information about the Ugly for its new master, it remembered that time when his former master Assam fought the First of the Uglyface.

Assam was a part of the distant past. His entire family was brutally murdered by an Uglyface. It didn't even spare their remains, consuming them in one gulp. His kids, his wife, and his elderly parents, they all died at the hands of the first Uglyface, and he wasn't able to do anything as he was paralyzed with fear. However, the death of his family ignited an unrivaled fury and an unquenchable thirst for vengeance in his heart, giving him the courage to run toward the monster and stab it with the sword. The sword broke as it landed on the Uglyface's hideous but sturdy flesh.

The result sent Assam down the spiral of despair. The attack he had put everything into didn't injure the Uglyface's body in the slightest. It only tickled the Uglyface!

The Uglyface turned towards Assam, causing his breath to be caught in his throat. It grabbed him and tossed him down a cliff. He survived the fall as he fell into a river and was swept into a cave by the rolling waves, where he found a treasure, which helped him grow stronger.

In the years that followed, Assam trained ceaselessly, his sole goal to avenge his family and eradicate the monster that had caused him much sorrow. His determination and hatred became the fuel that drove him to the brink of human limits, eventually transforming him into a bane for devils.n0Velusb.c0m

When he finally confronted the Uglyface again, he was not the same person. He was stronger, sharper, brimming with resolve, and overflowing with Soul Power. Assam struck it down in one hit. The fight ended as soon as it began.
