"But how is this related to the \'Sacrifice\'...?"

While the entity called the Demon Sovereign seemed to be a very critical point that requires serious attention, from the way the sprout human talked, it seemed like his knowledge about this subject was minimal thanks to his rank and impurity as a demon which didn\'t really allow him to know the detailed parts…

As such, while what he explained about was an eye opener, it was pretty much useless to delve into just like the shallow information that we managed to obtain after eradicating the Light Association, which was why I wanted to move on to the part that he seemed to be more knowledgeable about…

\'How is that witchcraft connected to this \'Demon Sovereign\'...?\'

"I was just getting into that… The reason this it\'s called the \'Demon Sovereign Sacrifice\' is because it\'s considered as returning what was given to allow the use of a certain great power…" the sprout human said as he shuddered once more…

"You are saying that the reason such a powerful ability could be used is because the Shaman somehow returned all the demonic power in this base to the \'Demon Sovereign\' in order to wield the ability to cast that purple fire…?"

The name of that ability being the \'Bloodline Burning Curse\' seemed to not suit the description that the sprout human mentioned, while on the other hand the principle of exchange was somewhat legit, making it possible for there to be a certain hidden meaning to it, so that both the sprout human and the system\'s description might be correct at the same time without contradicting the other…

"Correct, that\'s at least in theory, but according to the records I managed to take a glimpse of, it basically burns and erases the demon bloodline in a certain place to provide powers of certain magnitudes that are somehow able to transcend the normal power limit…"

\'So it was like that…\'

Expectedly enough, it seemed like the system named it the \'Bloodline Burning Curse\' as a way to refer to the activator and the fuel of this ability, instead of describing its action, after all, the way that purple fire acted was nothing like normal burning at all…

The way it spread, especially after I cut the inflicted part, and the late pain receiving along with the disintegration of a part of my limb, they were marks that the fire was just the visual effect of the \'Curse\' spreading through parts of my body…

"That\'s exactly the reason I\'m wondering why are you still alive after encountering that, a \'Demon Sovereign Sacrifice\' that used up the Demon Bloodline in the whole base should have had a pretty high magnitude… I\'m not trying to insult you or something, but even if you are quite powerful, you should know that the abilities produced using that method can\'t be stopped through normal power…" the sprout human questioned how I managed to survive once again, seemingly still curious about it…

"Like I said earlier, how I managed to overcome it is not your business, I\'m not supposed to satisfy your curiosity, it\'s the other way around…"

"Right, right, I\'m sorry…" rolling his eyes to the side, the sprout human faked an apology…

"Good. Back to our topic, how did such a weak Shaman obtain the ability to cast this \'Demon Sovereign Sacrifice\'...?"

In order to wield a huge amount of power, you would at least need to have reached a certain threshold of power or have a special way to activate it, so I wanted to understand that part so that I might be able to stop such future methods since it seemed like this ability might not be just limited to curses…

"If by that you mean Dark, then let me tell you that while he might have seemed weak overall, he did have a main strength point… He was able to train the \'Demonic Mind Manipulation\' technique!" The sprout human said in awe as if it was something very impressive…

"Isn\'t that just a mind training technique? What\'s so special about it?"

This \'Demonic Mind Manipulation\' was likely to be the same thing used to cast \'Demonic Possession\' or something of similar nature, but even having such a technique shouldn\'t allow one to cast that hideous curse…

"A mind training technique isn\'t something special…? Whatever, I guess that might be the case for you… But yes having such a technique does make a difference for us…" the sprout demons tried to hold himself back from rolling his eyes more as it seemed that I was indeed a bit too blunt when it came to common sense…

\'The only reason that technique would be the key to using that curse would be…\'

"Do you mean that casting the \'Demon Sovereign Sacrifice\' is done through mental energy…?"

"Not exactly, but in some sense, it is. The more exact detail is that you supposedly need to be connected with the \'Demonic Sovereign\' to cast the sacrifice, and the only way to get connected would be the possession of \'Demonic Bewitchment Energy\'... This energy is naturally obtained from training the \'Demonic Mind Manipulation\' technique as a demon with a certain level of blood purity…"

"So… You mean that he could really somehow sacrifice all those who have a demonic bloodline to truly borrow power from this \'Demon Sovereign\' through that connection to cast such a strongly powered ability…?"

In case that was completely true, then this really meant that this \'Demon Sovereign\' was more than real and he actually had the power to back up his possession as the \'Overlord\' of all demons, otherwise, just a bit of borrowed power couldn\'t create that kind of law breaking damage… 

"I don\'t know for sure… I\'m just sharing the information that I obtained throughout my life as a demon, I didn\'t really bother confirming unimportant details like this one…"

"Well then, if that\'s at least theoretically true… Then why is this guy still alive…?" I said as I pointed towards the half dead Overseer...
