The further I walked, the more enemy hordes I encountered.
Among them, I fought several Upper Demons who appeared before me ..
the Rank 32 Upper Demon Valak,
the Rank 28 Dantalion,
and many others.
Valac wielded shadows,
while Dantalion possessed a bizarre ability that allowed him to manipulate and dominate minds.
I slaughtered them with ease ..
especially now that I fought with Black Hole Aura at all times.
To be honest, it was torture trying to maintain control over the Black Hole's power…
but Nameless's method was working, even if only a little.
Right now, I was burning through enormous amounts of aura,
yet I could restore about 30% of it using his technique.
It was laughably small compared to Nameless,
who could reclaim 99% of what he released.
But as a beginning… I was satisfied.
Because it meant that, unconsciously, I was already growing stronger.
As a unique anomaly, there was no reliable way to measure my power correctly.
On paper, I was SS-rank.
