Chapter 732: *A huge piece of information*
"Continue!" Elias then said. Of course, he had made sure to put a powerful force shield around them, ensuring that the demon wouldn't suspect that all his thoughts were being spied on by Axel and that their schemes were being discovered one after another.
Kelan then reported everything Axel was telling him while giving Kevin some pointers to gather more information.
A thousand years ago, Lilith exploited the fact that more and more of her elite Drakonits, trained in the Titan's world, were turning their backs on her. As soon as the opportunity arose, they joined the free Drakonits led by Roman.
She then crafted powerful items capable of hiding the identity of anyone, using the knowledge she had gained from her God title, so that even other powerful gods could not see through these items.
Then she sent two of her elite demons, whom she had nurtured herself until they could use three black pills to fight. Their strength compared to the Knights of Darkness was still inferior, and even at their peak condition, they could only barely hold on for one minute if Ulyss used two black pills.
As Kevin kept questioning this demon, Axel could see scenes of their duel and feel the resentment the demon held against Ulyss, as the latter was stronger than him even though he couldn't use three black pills at that moment.
Following Kelan's suggestion, Kevin learned that Ulyss and Roman were currently undergoing special training that would allow them to use three black pills at once.
Previously, they couldn't do this because the stronger the basic Stats of someone, the greater the effect of the black pills would be. The power that the black particles could then provide would be so terrifying that their bodies could be eaten alive.
When Axel realized, thanks to some memories from this demon, what this new training was—to allow them to use three black pills at once—he felt irritated, as it was his and Kevin's fault. Lilith was using the same method they had employed back in the Angel world to hold her and Cassandra while they hurried to help shatter the impenetrable barrier.
She used Divine-grade magic crystals filled with black particles to create a dome that would be filled with them, and on this dome, she added runic symbols to constantly increase the concentration of the black particles inside it.
It was a really hard way to become more powerful, but with the amount of black particles they were assimilating, there was no doubt that they would become much more powerful than before.
She personally supervised their training, allowing them to rest only when they were on the verge of being killed by the black particles. At that moment, she would teleport them outside of this dome, treat them, and after they rested for some time, she would send them back under the dome.
The demon they were fighting with didn't receive the same treatment as them. Since the first Knights of Darkness were all humans, they had a harder time dealing with the black particles. Demons were more resistant to pain, and they could more easily gain an affinity with the Evil Divine element compared to mere humans. All of the elite demons under Lilith's command were already able to use three black pills, and there were over thirty of these demons.
This was a huge piece of information they had just obtained. Axel had also been able to see Lilith's dimension, and he would share what he had seen directly with the Warrior Spirits thanks to Glen's memory disk.
As for what they were trying to do with Johan, they had already guessed it. By torturing him with the black particles, they were attempting to brainwash him into becoming Lilith's puppet. It was an experiment, as Lilith herself didn't know how long it would take to turn a Divine creature who was truly against her into a worshiper once more.
But Johan was stronger than they thought, and the mental attacks he endured couldn't shake him at all.
The other Drakonits and Snakes imprisoned in the basement of this former headquarters of Lilith were all there because they were on the verge of becoming Divine creatures, and Lilith wanted to test a method on them to accelerate this process.
The more Divine creatures she had under her control, the better. The first demon Elias killed was the one who could identify when a Legendary creature was about to evolve. So, during the last fifteen days, they had tracked these creatures, imprisoned them, and observed them to find a way to accelerate their transformation.
The Snakes were similar to the Drakonits; they primarily used the Earth and Darkness elements, so the strongest among them could also wield the Evil Divine element. It was also why they were chosen by these demons.
The Snakes that were captured were friends with the Drakonits, and their clan had been able to grow stronger, thanks to Roman who had shared with them the secret of the Evil element, helping them create an affinity with it.
Finally, they learned that they were reporting once every month to Lilith about what the Drakonits were doing so that she could keep an eye on them. However, in the last month, they had been reporting every two days as the Drakonits were actively discussing the upcoming war against the Titans.
When they found an opportunity, they used a Chameleon, who had the ability to absorb the memories of a person so he could act like him without a problem, to replace Johan, who was Roman's right hand.
Then, as the threat the Drakonits represented to her plans grew stronger, Lilith chose to attack them before the Warrior Spirits could put them under their protection. She utilized the Chameleon she had placed in position, as he could open transdimensional portals wherever he wanted thanks to Johan's authority.
As the battles were fierce and she lost some of her elite soldiers, Lilith used this opportunity to trap the core of this world to end them all at once.
