120 A Riddle
Even after doing all that, Jayden's breathing was normal and there wasn't a single scratch on his body, even though he couldn't use any of his abilities in Ian's body, but all the fighting styles were still present in his mind.
Jayden moved nimbly in between the horde of monsters, each strike from him ended the life of a single monster. When he had killed more than sixty low tier monsters, all the others felt scared and finally lost the will to fight.
' That should be enough. ' Jayden thought, he sat down for a moment and spoke.
" Come out, and eat all these hearts. I don't want to taste these disgusting looking things unless I have no other choice, but thank God I have a choice. Though God had no part in any of it. " Jayden ordered.
" Fine. " the colossal demon didn't argue with Jayden this time.
He took control of Ian's body and began to devour all the hearts hungrily. Since Jayden wasn't able to store all the hearts in his pocket, he left most of the hearts in the bodies of the monsters.
*GULP* *GULP*
After the colossal demon was done eating all the hearts in the pocket, he stood up and walked to each of the corpses and took out their hearts before gulping them down.
No other monsters dared to touch any of the corpses, since they were all afraid of Ian.
After five minutes, the colossal demon finished the heart of the last low-tier demon. After he was done eating, Ian's aura became even stronger, his aura now matched someone who was about to evolve into a high tier demon, even without the addition of the colossal demon aura.
" Let's begin the round two. " Jayden spoke and took control of the body again.
He stretches his body and then slowly walks towards one of the mid-tier demons whose body resembled a bull. As Jayden walked, he closes his eyes and focused his attention completely on the dark aura that was present in the depths of the bull demon's mind.
*ROAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR*
*BOOOOOOOOM*
After practicing for so long Jayden was now easily able to control the aura of fear even for the mid tier demons, in the next moment the bull demon roared in agony as it struck its head into another mid tier demon who looked like a long snake that was sitting next to the bull demon.
The snake demon cried in pain as two big holes appeared in its body created by the pointy horns of the bull. The snake demon's entire body trembled, as it coiled itself around the bull demon's neck.
*HISSSSSS*
The snake demon bit into the bull demon's thick skin and releases its poison. Jayden finally makes his move, he lunges towards the fighting demons and strikes the head of the snake demon that was still busy biting the bull.
*BOOOOOOOOM*
Though Jayden failed to kill the small demon in a single strike, but after getting hit by his strike, the snake demon's teeth got stuck into the bull demon's body, as it furiously tried to pull away his dizzy head.
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
Jayden kept striking the head of the snake demon until it turned into minced meat, then without waiting for a second Jayden hit one of the horns of the bull demon, breaking it in a single attack.
Picking up the horn, Jayden then brandished the pointy horn directly into the bull demon's chest. All of this ended within a single minute, and both the mid tier demons fell to the ground, dead.
Jayden exhales a long breath and then orders the colossal demon.
" It's your turn now. "
" Ok "
It immediately agrees to Jayden's order and takes control of Ian's body once again, without wasting any time, it pulls out the heart of both of the demons.
The colossal demon sniffed both the hearts and then began to eat them, after chewing the squishy heart the colossal demon gulped them down.
" Alright, round 3 is on!! " Jayden jeered while looking for the next target.
By now all the mid tier demons were looking at Jayden vigilantly, just as Jayden was about to make his move, a voice called him in the mind.
" Let me handle this one, I want to get some action too. " the colossal demon said.
" Hmmm fine, take as long as you need. " Jayden spoke and handed control of the body to the demon.
" kekekekekeke, prostrate yourself in front of the great me, you all tiny bugs. " the colossal demon laughed while releasing its aura.
The bodies of all the low and mid tier demons trembled in fear, they wanted to run but weren't able to move their bodies.
After watching outside for a few minutes, Jayden decided to go back to his training, he was extremely close to having complete control over the emotion of fear.
...
After a couple of hours, Jayden opened his eyes and he wasn't at all surprised by what he saw. The colossal demon sat on the ground, surrounded by piles of corpses of all the remaining mid tier and a lot of low tier demons.
He was eating all the hearts like they were some kind of delicacy. After he finished all the hearts, Jayden spoke.
" Let's come back here later, I need to finish my business in the human City first. "
As he spoke, many messages began to appear in front of him.

" Seriously, now I've to solve riddles too, what kind of test is this, am I actually inside an escape room? " Jayden sighed.
" Anyway, there should still be some time before these fruits ripe, let's pay our lovely generals a visit. " Jayden spoke with a distorted smile on his face.
Then turning around, Jayden walks into the forest, leaving behind two high tier and a few low tier monsters.
...
Jayden crossed the forest at full speed, and within minutes he stood outside the gate of the human City. It was already night time, so the city streets were mostly empty.
Jayden secretly entered the city and took a blanket that was hanging outside one of the houses, after wrapping it around himself he moved towards the main streets.
On the street, he saw a shop that had different types of masks, since Jayden didn't want to cause too much of a ruckus he decided to take one of the masks.
Walking closer to the shop, he pulled one of the masks, which looked like a panther's face and placed it over his face, before walking away from the shop, as if nothing was wrong.
" Hey, you have to pay for that. " the shopowner was able to see Jayden since there weren't any other customers in his shop. He tried to chase Jayden, but just after a few seconds, the shopowner lost track of him.
