Chapter 116 Conquering Fear
Slowly the essence blood of the colossal demon began to fill Jayden's mouth, he gulped everything down as his body emitted a red glow and it began to heal.
Jayden lost consciousness completely as his body instinctively drank the essence blood of the Demon. Jayden was in a strange state, it was like he was watching his body move as a third person.
Just as he lost his senses, a strong emotions began to surround him, it was the emotion of fear. The emotion made it slightly difficult for Jayden to regain his body, as he sat on an imaginary chair inside his consciousness.
Since he wasn't in Ian's body anymore, the emotion of fear wasn't affecting him as much as before, with an empty expression Jayden looked at what appeared to be a screen.
Outside the screen, the injured body of KIR MONSTER slowly began to heal, its hands, its belly, its leg and all the internal injuries were gone just after gulping down a mouthful of the essence blood.
*RUSTLE* *RUSTLE*
Ian's body showed signs of movements, then it slowly got up, the movements at the start were very strange but slowly Ian began to move normally. Jayden knew that the colossal monster was currently in control of the body.
' Fighting it currently will only result in my lose, because of this damn emotion, I think I should observe it some more.' He thought.
After taking some wobbly steps ahead, Ian began to tear apart the flesh of the colossal monster from the inside. Under Jayden's confused gaze, a thumping heart soon appears in front of Ian.
*THUMP* *THUMP*
The heart was almost twice as big as Ian, though the monster was almost dead, its heart beat still sounded like a loud drum.
Jayden finally understood what the demon wanted to do: ' It had sent half of its consciousness into Ian's body through its essence blood, now to take complete control of it, the demon wants to devour its own heart through Ian's body. '
After thinking for a bit, Jayden decided to watch how the entire situation played out.
' It's not like that this stupid ape could defeat me if I decided to go all out since it'd be a fight or souls, but before that, I need to deal with this damn emotion. '
*MUNCH* *MUNCH*
*GULP* *GULP*
And just as he expected, the demon began to devour its own heart, Jayden estimated that the demon would take four to five hours to finish the entire heart.
' And when it finishes eating all that, maybe I should absorb its soul. I wonder what kind of expression that proud demon would make. '
After planning a few things, Jayden decided to meditate, he closed his eyes and focused on the aura of fear that surrounded him. It was dark, this aura not only symbolised death but many other fears.
As Ian ate the heart of the high tier demon, the aura around the cave slowly began to weaken. Since the ape demon had high intelligence, it knew that soon many strong monsters would be coming there to eat the corpse of a high ranked monster.
After three hours,
Jayden was slowly grasping the ability to control fear, his mind was constantly going through different scenarios as he felt all kinds of fear.
In some scenarios, he was falling from a very high building or getting eaten alive by an animal or being drowned under water or getting locked in a very narrow place for the rest of his life, many different kinds of scenarios kept appearing in his mind with each passing second.
His concentration was broken when he heard the sound of a monster roaring, slowly opening his eyes Jayden saw that almost all the heart of the colossal demon was gone.
' Where did it even store such a large heart in that belly? ' Jayden thought
After finishing the entire heart, the demon rubbed its belly and then burped loudly. It had already sensed the monster that was entering the cave, after trying to move around in the new body, the demon began to make its way out of the colossal monster's body.

Jayden observed all the messages, ' I sure got a lot of quests and why is the last one still hidden, fuck my luck? ' he thought with a wry smile.
But there was one good thing in all of this, he was able to complete one of the most difficult tasks and as for the other quests, he had already thought of something.
' Why don't I let this poor soul enjoy its new body for a bit longer? ' Jayden thought with a righteous expression. ' It's definitely not for my benefit, I just want this demon to enjoy its last moments a bit longer. '
...
*Roarrrr*
Just after taking a few steps outside, a fang wolf loudly roared staring at Ian, its mouth watery. Instead of engaging in a fight, the colossal demon decided to use its aura to scare the dog like creature away.
After all, it'd be an insult for a strong high tier demon to fight a low tier demon, sensing the aura coming out of Ian's body the wolf growled in fear and began to back away.
' This is not good, I need the heart of low tier monsters as well, so I guess I have no other choice but to try that. ' Jayden thought and decided to use the thing he had just recently learned.
Jayden closes his eyes and concentrates towards the mind of the wolf, he searches for the dark aura that represents fear, he doesn't need long to find it.
After he found the dark aura, Jayden began to mould the aura into a different shape, creating a different image of fear in the Fang Wolf's mind.
Jayden hasn't mastered it yet, so he was only able to change it slightly. After Jayden was done, the definition of fear for the wolf changed completely.
It was no longer afraid of death but was instead of failure and loss. The wolf shook its head furiously, as a severe pain coursed through its brain.
Then a dangerous glow appeared in its eyes, and without a bit of fear, the wolf pounced onto Ian with its jaw wide open. At first, the colossal demon wanted to ignore it, but seeing the wolf attack first, it decided to fight back.
*BOOOOOOM*
With a single punch, Ian killed the fang wolf. Jayden observed this curiously, and he thought: ' I knew after absorbing the essence blood and eating that heart, Ian's strength would definitely increase, but did the abilities of the colossal demon also got absorbed? '
As Jayden was deep in thought, Ian bent down in front of the low tier demon's body, and tears opened its chest. After taking the heart of the wolf out of its body, Ian bit off a part of the heart and began to chew it.
