Chris, having left the bar, used a portal to teleport to a cliff by the seaside.
This time, he was on the West Coast, in a desolate harbor.
A towering demon was feasting on souls, provided by the wizards.
Extracting souls, tormenting them, and casting curses were all skills of the wizards.
"These souls are truly delicious! These souls are excellent! You've done well. I want more souls. Tell me, what reward do you desire? Love, longevity, or dreams?" The massive, grotesque demon whispered, seducing the ignorant wizards to continue offering souls.
In the eyes of the demon, humans were nothing more than reptiles, albeit delicious ones. Otherwise, demons and humans would have no interaction at all.
"We want to learn more powerful dark magic!" One wizard stepped forward and spoke.
"Very well, but while mastering this dark magic, your bodies are too fragile to withstand the power. You won't be able to unleash the true potential of the magic, and if you want to learn higher-level dark magic, you need to become stronger or possess a strong body!" The hideous demon explained with its hoarse voice, cunningly deceiving them.
"Sir, what should we do then?" a wizard respectfully asked, seemingly unaware that the demons they summoned were deceitful and constantly looking to exploit their remaining value.
Chris used the hidden magic gem and hid himself, observing from a distance.
He felt a bit disdainful towards the wizards of this world. What kind of bullshit wizards were they? They were being manipulated. How could they even be called wizards? It's laughable.
Watching the gathered wizards in the distance, it was clear that their combat abilities were not strong. Some wizards excelled at summoning small demons for battles, while others specialized in dark magic, mostly leaning towards curses.
Adding unfavorable states to opponents, reducing their movement speed, making them feel nauseous, and so on. Compared to mages, the tactics of wizards were a bit underhanded!
A hunter needed patience, just like last time, this time, Chris was patiently waiting for the right moment.
At the same time, he set up ambushes in the surroundings. It would be a shame to kill these wizards, and they seemed very easy to control.
People who have desires weren't to be feared; it's those who had no desires or ambitions that were the most difficult to control.
Thinking about this, a dark thought flickered in Chris's mind.
He wouldn't participate in the future Avengers or Justice League, and he wouldn't join organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. or those mutant organizations.
To avoid being targeted, the best approach was to secretly control a large faction so that he could detect any movement.
As for ruling the world, Chris wasn't that foolish.
In this era of prevailing free thinking, no one would willingly become a slave. There would always be people who would resist.
The best approach was to hide and become the hidden ruler of the most powerful faction. An environment of chaos was much better than being a target in plain sight.
Lucas, who was still developing the wizards, received an order to prepare for new recruits.
His current task was to brainwash the wizards into becoming members who would only be loyal to Chris.
By idolizing Chris, they could gain strength and receive rewards.
If idolizing a living person could get them everything they desired, why would they make deals with greedy demons?
...
Finally, the wizards had dispersed, seeking fresh souls as sacrifices in exchange with demons.
The demons demanded a large number of souls that had endured suffering and torment, which happened to be the expertise of the wizards. They would capture commoners, torture them, and kill them at their most painful moments to obtain decent souls.
This may sound heartless, but in chaotic times, human lives were worthless. Amidst the chaos of war and turmoil, who would bother investigating an individual's fate?
