While it might seem strange for me to think that summoning a demon was a blessing in disguise, it was a fact that I was also part demon myself, and I now might have a chance to maybe figure out a way to keep my ancient will under control.
"Master…." A voice came from my side, making me turn my head to see Grace standing there fiddling with her fingers as if she was nervous about something.
"What's wrong, Grace?" I asked while tilting my head to the side.
"Am…. Am I not needed anymore?" Grace asked as she looked from me to Diablo.
I chuckled and reached out to pat her head. "Why are you asking silly questions? Didn't I already say earlier that I would never abandon you?"
"Ah? Mmm…." Grace's lips curled up into a soft smile as she closed her eyes, enjoying the head pat I was giving her.
"Oh? Now, this is a strange combination. Angel blood mixed with demon blood. No, wait…. Your Angel blood is not pure enough to call you a proper angel. I guess it's a cross between human and angel." Diablo said while looking Grace up and down in great interest.
"She is part of the angelic race, and her horns come from me due to a mishap when doing a blood seal contract. Or at least we think anyway. " I explained.
"I see… Hmmm… This is interesting. I would like to learn more about this world's history." I guess Diablo comes from a realm not connected to this world, or at least this is what I assume. I guess only by asking him later when we have more time to sit and talk normally about things would be best.
"Umm… Boss…." Amanda called out as she walked up to me with her head lowered. I almost took a step back in case she jumped at me like a crazy fan girl again, but I noticed she didn't seem as crazed as she was before. "I apologize for my actions earlier. I have always loved real dragons, and when I saw you transform, I kind of lost it."
"It's fine. Everyone has a thing that they are crazy about." I won't say what I am crazy about that causes my instincts to take over. That is something I will keep a secret forever!
With everyone rested, well equipped, and ready to go. We began our dungeon dive once more. This time the experience was much higher. And just like before when the system stones dropped. So did the skill stones. Although they were much rarer, we ended up with enough for the whole team as well as two extra, which I decided to save. I did ask if everyone wanted to roll on them, but they just told me to take them. Sei ended up getting a second skill stone due to her first one being very questionable.
In the end, she got the ability to use earth magic at will. Mostly everyone got different elemental skills which allowed full manipulation over the elements. In a way, it was much better than magic because it had a small mana consumption based on what you were trying to do without the need of writing out the magic circle, so in a sense, it was instant casting. A magic circle would still appear, but it was all done mentally on what you were trying to achieve.
I have a feeling these kinds of spells will eventually end up being the new norm for this world. It kind of scared me in a way. But other than that, Diablo was absolutely amazing. With a wave of his hand, he could kill hordes of monsters. And because I was teamed with everyone, we were all able to gain the experience from his attacks, so in a way, we were being power leveled. I did try to give Diablo a system stone, but it would not work, nor would the skill stones. He felt a little depressed about not being able to gain anything for his hard work, but I told him once we leave this place, he could have some snacks that seemed to make him perk right up. Diablo turned out to be quite the foody. While he did not need to eat, once he tried some of Annie's cooking, he fell in love with it instantly and now joined everyone for our daily meals.
But currently, we were now standing in front of another set of doors. These ones were made of gold with less than appealing carvings engraved into them. It looked like thousands of souls reaching out, trying to escape. It was a bit disturbing. But luckily, now I was level 258.

The number of levels I got was quite a lot. And now, my normal health was almost at the one hundred thousand mark. I also had 1570 status points which I planned to use now to finally break that barrier.

With this, my health has now broken the one hundred thousand mark. I noticed that my passive status points also are almost instant now. As soon as I level up, I get like fitten in ten minutes. So it only takes twenty minutes per level to actually gain an extra thirty status points in my attributes. All in all, I think with Diablo around, my team and I could run many dungeons in a few days and be able to level up quite quickly.
