Commander Uchiha, we respect and love you!

Chapter 293 Devouring
As the abnormal magical energy surged in, Uchiha Kazuto's face turned deathly pale, and crimson blood vessels burst from his eyes, turning them blood red. A violent, bloodthirsty impulse surged wildly in his mind.

"Heh...as expected..."

Uchiha Kazuto sensed all of this, and the next moment, the demonic power within his body transformed into a crimson color and began to surge wildly, turning into countless threads that bound the mass of demonic power.

Come on, give it a try!

The magic within him surged wildly as he began to try to assimilate this mass of magic.

Time passed quietly. As his brain worked at high speed, calculating, simulating, and even using his own body to perform calculations, the magic power within him gradually dwindled. Finally, when only one percent remained, the magic power within Uchiha Kazuto's body suddenly formed a blood-red cube. The remaining bit of magic power was devoured by this cube and ultimately assimilated into a part of his body.

"It's done!"

After a long while, Uchiha Kazuto smiled slightly. He had finally found a way to quickly increase his magic power.

That's right, that's exactly it. Directly devouring the magic power within other beings is almost impossible. Normally, this kind of behavior of directly devouring other people's magic power is almost impossible to succeed because the magic power inside a human body is not the same as the magic power outside. The magic power inside a mage, or even an ordinary person, has an owner and cannot be considered pure magic power.

Not to mention, the magic within these monsters is inherently flawed and toxic. Not only is their flesh and blood infectious, but their magic is also infectious, making them completely unusable.

However, thanks to Uchiha He's extraordinary computing power, he successfully turned the impossible into possible. With his brain... well, actually, by using his own computing power to cheat, he successfully calculated the special spell that devours the magic power of other creatures.

This is an extremely complex and delicate spell. It can be said that even the slightest mistake will lead to failure. It is almost exclusively a spell of Uchiha Kazuto. Of course, if someone's brain has a computing ability comparable to a supercomputer, they can also construct this spell within their body after spending some time.

"Let's call this spell the Magic Furnace!"

Afterwards, Uchiha Kazuto used the Magic Furnace to filter the magic power in his body again. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his body, he returned to Blackrock Town.

"Looks like there are no problems!"

After confirming that they could not detect any foreign magical power within their bodies, Uchiha Kazuto nodded. If they were possessed by an evil spirit or bitten by a zombie, it would be discovered. The former would result in execution, while the latter would require purification at the church.

He had just absorbed the magic of a zombie, and he wasn't sure if he would be discovered. Logically, he shouldn't be, and it seemed that, just as he thought, no one had noticed anything amiss.

Time passed, and a few days later...

In the area northeast of Blackrock Town, an evil spirit has been spotted wandering. We need to find its location and require your help...

Inside the Old Tooth Tavern.

The scouts looked at the request and their expressions turned very grim.

Evil spirits, according to legend, are the cause of the living corpses and monsters we see today. These are monsters that possess living beings, causing their bodies to mutate, making them cold-blooded, evil, and giving them the ability to control the living corpses. However, newly possessed evil spirits are very weak, and at this time, simply hanging the possessed person can dispel the evil spirit.

Over time, it will become incredibly troublesome, as these evil spirits will become extremely powerful.

At the same time, the intelligence these evil spirits possess allows them to control the undead, forming hordes of zombies that attack human settlements. This is how a survivor settlement in Uchiha Kazuto's body was destroyed.

Such investigative missions can be deadly if not handled carefully. However, this mission has nothing to do with Uchiha Kazuto. Given his demonstrated strength, he is not qualified to take on such a mission. After all, if one is too weak, it's not an investigation, it's suicide.

Uchiha Kazuto looked at the mission.

"An evil spirit?"

Uchiha Kazuto looked at the mission and fell into thought. In the past few days, he had been constantly absorbing the energy from those living corpses. However, those ordinary living corpses did not have much magic power to begin with. If he wanted to become stronger, it would be best to devour those powerful creatures.

Evil spirits seem like a good choice. Creatures possessed by evil spirits will have their strength increase rapidly in a short period of time, and their bodies should contain considerable magical power. Moreover, the characteristics of evil spirits also seem very magical to him. According to rumors, evil spirits seem to be immortal, and some people have seen the same evil spirit more than once.

Moreover, the evil spirit seems quite similar to his current state. This body should have died long ago, but it was resurrected because of his power. He should also be considered an evil spirit in some sense, a thing from another world.

interesting!
Uchiha Kazuto left the tavern; he decided to go find the evil spirit.

Shortly after he left, a strong reconnaissance squad took over the mission.

"Whee!"

In the misty forest, a monster as large as a small giant, covered with numerous cracks and emitting a green glow, with a huge mouth on its belly and a baby-like face embedded in its head, wandered through the mist.

Behind the monster followed some incredibly strong-looking undead.

The evil spirit stared indifferently at the location of Blackrock Town. It only needed to develop for a while to gain enough power to summon a horde of zombies and attack Blackrock Town.

Just then, the evil spirit suddenly turned its head.

Looking in a certain direction.

"Oh no! Run!!!"

In the distance, a group of men who called themselves scouts but were actually adventurers saw this and immediately began to flee. The next moment, accompanied by a roar, a large number of zombies began to gather in this direction...

……

Hey~
Several rotting, ferocious, and blasphemous undead hounds roared as they charged toward the living people not far away. The next moment, blood-red threads flashed, tearing the bodies of these vicious hounds apart.

A trace of magic emanated from these vicious dogs and entered the body of the approaching figure.

Uchiha and Tou walked past the corpses of the vicious dogs and continued on their way.

he……
