William fell to the ground for a while but shortly after he managed to get up, further mutations were about to begin but for now, he managed to at least stand.

The with Mary run to William and supported him, Jordan "take him to my room there are some centers of power, meanwhile, I will go for more, now go!" Mary "yes! YES!" William tried to say something but only a low growl escaped from his mouth.

William was about to reach maturity for his demon species, just like Jordan did, William now will have to go through terrible pain but in return, his brain that is his awakened center should reach third circle mana.

Unlike the brain of humans the demons and angels have theirs brains naturally awakened as part of their being, the brain is connected to all the mutations and just like Jordan´s center of power the brain fuels the mutations, unlike Jordan´s second heart there is no sphere containing first, second, and third circle mana, the brain directly refine bit of mana to the third circle then grabs another piece of mana and continues the process.

This allows the brain to store a bit more mana but the mana refueling is slower in comparison, also to use second circle mana the user of the brain has to "taint" the mana in the air with his third circle mana. But it is no problem to use third circle mana to fuel the second circle spell, In fact, the spell will get stronger.

William slowly walked to the house where Jordan was currently residing, they opened the door and William just fell on the ground again.

Mary tried to lift him up but with her strength, it wasn't easy, as she was trying to get William at least to bed the mutation began in full power.

William didn't lose consciousness and just like Jordan he was forced to feel the changes in his body, the membrane on his wings fallen off as the wings rapidly expanded until they reached a wingspan of 5 meters (18ft), the wings were like a bat wings wing scales around all the bones.

The horns on his head fallen off and turned to dust while new ones slightly longer with bright red color grew there, then came to his bones, skin, muscles, those changes weren't that drastic but they still hurt like hell, those mutations progressed for five minutes that felt like an hour to William, after that he got bid of a breather.

William tried to stand, Mary was holding him and supporting him the best she could "is everything alright? How can I help…" and so on, Mary talked nonstop, she didn't know what to do, when Jordan mutated he threw everyone out and fought it himself locked in a room as he didn't want to be disturbed or possibly ambushed when he couldn't defend himself.

But just as William got to his knees the pain kicked back in, this time it was his brain, it was as if he ate several kilograms of ice cream at once, he couldn't think, suddenly he found himself unable to move any part of his body, the screams stopped as he couldn't even breath, he become a vegetable, he could hear see and feel the extreme pain but that was all.

William heard Mary going crazy, but he couldn't do anything, this state lasted for another five minutes and ended as suddenly as it came, William gained back control over his body and began to heavily breathe.

Mary was hugging him and Jordan was there holding a bucket full of hearts and several brains, Jordan "good work, you survived through it" Jordan patted William on the shoulder, smiled warmly, and said "I will leave you two love birds alone, take a break for few days, you earned it" Mary wiped the snot and tears from her face to her sleeve and said with a released smile "get lost" Jordan chuckled and left them alone.

Still what William went through wasn't that bad when compared with Jordan, the more mutations someone had the worse the sudden breakthrough, William, as a low-rank demon didn't gain any ability only a low increase in strength and the third circle mana.

***

Jordan walked down the street as he left Mary and William alone, while walking Jordan checked his second heart, it was equivalent to walking while being on a phone but there wasn't much people Jordan could bump into as the sky was getting dark, only the blue mana veins and the moon illuminated it.

Carefully to not damage the barrier around his second heart and not to damage his center of power Jordan checked in which state the center of power is and strangely enough, there was a huge improvement, maybe the negative energy from the execution helped? It may be.

Jordan returned to the town square, the bloodied podium was still there together with the pile of hands, Jordan thought for a moment, ´maybe I can make a monument from those hands? As a reminder to all the traitors…´ sounds interesting, but leaving the hands as they are isn't a good idea, soon they will start to smell, "maybe creating a layer of concrete on them?" Jordan took a notebook from his pants and checked the list of people there "yes the fat bald guy… I will ask him when I have time"

Right now, he has to extract and store as much negative energy as possible, who knows when again, will he get such a good opportunity.

Jordan slowly manipulated all the third circle mana from his second heart and infused himself into it, floating around Jordan´s wisp form naturally attracted the negative energy but he made it stop centimeters away from himself, like that more and more energy started to accumulate, the more negative energy there was the stronger the attraction force.

Jordan waited until he attracted almost everything from the towns square and then he partially returned his consciousness to his body, this is what he learned from his desperate attempt to create the barrier around his center of power when he was hurt.

Using the partial wisp Jordan began to absorb the negative energy, when he is completely imbued to the wisp he is deeply connected to his body and any energy is digested in his body, but Jordan doesn't want to risk it, absorbing this much negative energy at once? That could make him go crazy, or make him addicted to the taste of it, Jordan was already warped enough, luckily he was very rational and that's why he chose to absorb it gradually, after all even his body only accepted a certain amount of the negative energy before it stopped consuming it and his body should know best.

The partial wisp completely absorbed all the negative energy, through the connection Jordan had to the wisp he still absorbed some negative energy but it was just a minute amount, Jordan suppressed the pleasant feeling and began to materialize the mana, slowly black crystal formed in the air and slowly descended to the ground.

The crystal had the size of a walnut and was comparable to the crystals that were wort 5 normal crystals, Jordan took the crystal and went to visit Jane to scratch another thing from his list.

Jordan went to the improvised hospital where Jane currently stays, it is just remodeled tower block-but it has to do for now.

Jordan made it in started to look for someone who knows the layout, there is no reception or things like that as the whole layout is quite chaotic but thanks to his giant stature someone who could be a doctor quickly made his way towards him and spoke "Good evening leader, how can I help you?"

Jordan "I am looking for the human representative Jane" the doctor "yes, yes, Jane, she was badly hurt and may sleep right now but I will lead you to her" there was nothing like visiting hour, and even though it may be better for Jane to rest the doctor did not dare to refute the demon.

Jordan went together with the doctor and made his way through several rooms, they were in a small flat with one bed on which Jane laying, in fact, the flat was so small that Jordan had to bend himself in so that he doesn't make holes in the roof with his horns, around Jane there were pilled notebooks and right now she was reading one, when Jordan and the doctor made it in she put it away and tried to smile.

Her smile was faint, her face was very pale, her short black hair was stuck together from sweat, and under the blanket, there could be seen only one leg, the other was cut right below the knee.

Jane "hello leader, the report about the attack will be complete tomorrow I am sorry for the delay, and about the new residents… " Jordan "shut up" Jane was horrified but stayed quit, she had tears forming in her eyes. Jordan looked at the doctor "Leave us alone" after the doctor left Jordan sat on the ground and looked at Jane.

At the moment Jordan was looking Jane right in the eyes, even though Jane was "sitting" on the bed they were at the same height.

Jordan "how are you?" hearing that Jane calmed herself down a bit "I am fine, I will be back in working condition in no time," said Jane with a faint smile, Jordan knew, even though she was smiling her eyes were desperate, a lot like himself when he was still in school.

Feeling a bit of sympathy he spoke to her "what you did was heroic, I will try to learn some spell or find someone who can heal your leg, don't worry about anything, for now, you can return to your job after you feel better" Jane "…. Thank you" Jordan´s smile changed from his smirk to a warm smile and said, "you are welcome, and really… don't worry about the leg, you are first on the list to receive potion to awaken, if you awaken you brain you can do this!"

Jordan bent his left leg to look like he is missing one and made a leg purely from mana "if you add fake leg you will be able to walk even with first circle mana" seeing the huge demon who could hardly fit in try to balance on one leg and trying to make a leg from mana lifted Jane´s mood a bit "haha very nice" Jane laughed for a bit but then she became serious and with a bit of sadness she told Jordan "… I envy you, I heard you lost arm and eye, and look at you now…"

Jordan "well yeah, being demon has its advantages, I don't regret being a demon… but… you don't know anything at all… Just get better soon alright? Rest and rest, that's an order" Jordan took the notebooks that were around Jane, and with a bye, he left Jane alone.

His feeling toward Jane didn't change, he is still going to use her, it´s just that the basic social skill he learned as a human dictated to him to play this little act. Jordan may be a demon, but he isn't such a monster to just heartlessly let Jane degrade herself.

The doctor was waiting outside the flat, so Jordan just gave the notebooks to him "bring those to the administration"

Jordan still has much to do, like visiting the moon platform.
