<So many memories... he's managed to gather a lot of information in his life. But... most of his memories relate to this town, and besides useful memories, he just has a massive amount of junk.>

Frankly, Evan had expected more. There wasn't much that was truly useful. Now he was thoroughly familiar with most of Inlas, except for its central part. Oddly enough, the informant didn't have many memories of that place.

Nevertheless, Evan had learned what he needed. He wondered what this strange eye was, and now he had the answer to his question.

<That eye is called the "Magic Implant," hmm... it's pretty useful but hazardous to put it in the body>.

Once upon a time, when the informant was still young, he'd received a severe wound and lost his left eye. A cure that could heal such a wound was costly, but he quickly amassed the right amount of money when he started trading information.

That day he went to the center of Inlas to buy the necessary medicine, but he bumped into the place where the so-called "Magic Implants" were sold. The informant decided to take a risk and install one instead of his eye.

<Hmm, these implants can give different abilities. This informant didn't know the right spell to view memories, but thanks to this eye, he could do it. Simply put, these implants are a kind of spell built into your body, like evolved monsters. It's disgusting.>

Evan was disgusted at the very thought of changing his body and turning into some monster. "Magic Implants" were incredibly expensive, and there was also a great risk of dying when they were installed. In Evan's opinion, only real fools would dare do such a thing.

"Well, I've got to get out of here, I'm pretty far along in my quest. My next destination is the "Hills of Bloody Falls." Mumbled Evan as he walked out of the ruined building.

The snow-white spear was still in his hands. It would only disappear if Evan wished it to, or until all the energy in the spear was used up. He could take a few more swings before all the energy ran out. But the energy was also lost over time, Evan only had about five minutes left.

Evan knew that his actions would get him in trouble. Obviously, this informant had a patron, and Evan's actions had caused someone a lot of trouble. Evan, however, was not worried about his safety. He would force his way out of the city if he had to.

The last time the help of the 70th demon, Prince Seere, cost Evan 20 years of his life, but he had grown much stronger since then. To use this destructive spear, Evan sacrificed only three years of his life.

When Evan emerged from the half-destroyed building, three men were already waiting for him. Each of them had an aggressive attitude, they didn't like that Evan thought he could do whatever he wanted here.

"Boy, do you have any idea what you've done? If you wanted to kill somebody, you should have done it quietly and not in this place! What's more, you killed a man who obeyed the very..."

Before the man could finish his sentence, Evan swung his spear, decapitating all three of them. The building behind those two was destroyed as well, it was unprecedented power.

<Well, I don't have anything else to do at this place, so I guess it's time to get out of here>. Evan thought and cast the "Ghost Step."

Evan really had no reason to stay here. He had the information he needed, and fighting the local bandits made no sense.

When he cast the "Ghost Step', his speed increased considerably. He turned into a blur and quickly disappeared from the sight of his enemies. They tried to chase him, but by then, Evan was pacing leisurely among the streets of the slums.

<Damn, this spell is exhausting. I've only taken a few dozen steps, and my legs hurt like I've been running continuously for a week. But now I can head for the "Hills of Bloody Falls."

Evan thought as he left Inlas. He hadn't been in the city long, but he had made a lot of noise and commotion.

< They'll probably send someone after me, but as a last resort, I can use the power of the 70th demon, Prince Seere. Three years for such a powerful weapon isn't much, especially considering my current lifespan.>

Evan didn't hesitate and went in search of the ancient ruins in the "Hills of Bloody Falls." It was there that he would have seen the members of the "Demonic Tree" for the first time. Evan was itching to join the dark side of this world. He wanted to know their secrets, their goals, and to see their power.

...historical

Somewhere in the center of Inlas.

"Boss...he was killed..." A frightened man said.

The muscular man sitting in the leather chair took a drag on his cigarette and said: "So, find him and fucking kill him! Why the fuck did he even get out of there alive? He killed people and destroyed some houses on my property. I hope you understand that you must put his head on my desk by tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, boss!" The man quickly replied. He immediately began assembling a team in pursuit of Evan.

They didn't know where Evan had gone, for he was too quickly out of sight. But they had a man who was capable of finding Evan. He knew a very rare and extremely useful spell that could be used to track down almost anyone.

...

A few hours later, Evan reached the "Hills of Bloody Falls."

<This place is so amazing, these bloody waterfalls look menacing and mesmerizing at the same time. I hope I won't spend too much time searching for ancient ruins>.

Evan would find a place guarded by a third rank monster, climb higher and just wait for his chance. His goal was to track down that "Demonic Tree" member who would be wounded after a confrontation with this monster. Evan was going to talk to him, he couldn't just show up in front of the group. They would probably kill him.

But, if his interlocutor were wounded and attacked him, Evan would use the power of the demon and kill him.

<I hope it works out, of course, they're a secretive organization, but new people come to them somehow? They should definitely be interested in my candidacy.>

In the meantime, a group of five was going on Evan's trail. Evan couldn't get away with what he did.

They were an elite squad of one of the five strongest organizations in Inlas. Each of them was at the "Two - Pointed Star" stage, and their leader had already broken through his first "Barrier" at that stage.

They were vastly superior to Evan in strength and speed. In just a few hours, they would reach him, and then Evan would have no chance of surviving.

Evan moved leisurely toward his goal.. He decided to climb one of the highest hills to see the valley from above and see where the ruins were.
