Became a Demon with Pregnancy System-Chapter 172: Dark Ripples

Within seconds, the storm condensed—

And then—

A colossal spear, hundreds of meters long, took shape.

It was no longer just a sand spear—

It had been infused with pure petrification magic, making it as solid as enchanted steel.

"If a creature like you could be contracted, you’d be worth something."

"But for now—"

"You’d better just die."

Laurence roared, swinging his arm.

The gigantic petrified sand spear shot toward the Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf, moving faster than sound.

For a moment, Laurence felt victorious.

There was no way this creature could survive a direct hit from his strongest spell.

But then—

The Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf grinned again.

And then—

It laughed.

Laurence’s stomach dropped.

The Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf began inhaling rapidly, each breath getting stronger and stronger.

Its body swelled.

Laurence’s heart pounded.

This wasn’t—

"No. No, that’s impossible!"

"A Commander-level wolf can’t use Dragon Breath!!!"

Laurence’s eyes were filled with horror.

The only creatures in the world that could unleash true breath attacks—

Were dragons.

Not pseudo-dragons.

Not winged lizards.

Only real dragons.

And yet—

This Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf had inherited the ability.

Laurence could only watch in horror as the giant wolf unleashed its devastating breath attack.

BOOOOOM!!!!

The flaming dragon breath tore through the air, colliding head-on with Laurence’s petrified sand spear.

The moment they clashed—

The spear disintegrated.

Laurence barely had time to react.

The flames continued forward, heading straight for him.

His eyes filled with terror.

He wasn’t fast enough.

He couldn’t block it.

"NO! I CAN’T DIE LIKE THIS!"

Laurence’s mind raced frantically.

He had one last option.

His hand shot into his bag, pulling out a strange, glowing red artifact.

A Relic.

It was supposed to be used on Nate Dawson—

But now?

He had no choice.

He crushed the relic in his hand.

Instantly, a dark mist of blood surrounded him, sinking into his skin like venom.

Laurence screamed.

Blood-colored veins crawled across his face, his hair growing wildly, his fangs extending unnaturally.

His entire body mutated, his magic surging to monstrous levels.

He had become something else.

A creature no longer human.

A Demonized Beast.

His petrification magic twisted, turning into something darker and more violent.

And when he opened his mouth—

His voice was no longer human.

"NATE DAWSON!!"

"I’LL FIND YOU, NO MATTER WHERE YOU RUN!!!"

The Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf stared curiously at Laurence’s new form.

Then, it tilted its head.

And laughed again.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

Laurence Mann’s eyes turned blood-red, his body convulsing as he screamed in agony.

The Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf immediately leapt backward, retreating several hundred meters.

"Whew~?!"

The massive beast tilted its head, staring at Laurence in confusion.

It didn’t understand why its opponent had suddenly changed.

But the power radiating from Laurence now...

It was different.

It was twisted.

Even as a demon beast, the Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf felt a deep, instinctual unease.

"It’s not going to be fun if you get weird. Move aside."

Luke’s calm voice suddenly echoed beside it.

At some point, he had appeared next to the giant wolf, his massive claws crossed over his chest.

Laurence’s demonization was nowhere near as strong as what Nate Dawson had experienced.

When Nate had used the demon system, he had been able to fight the Supreme Monarchs.

Laurence?

At best, he had jumped one major realm higher—

Which meant he was only as strong as a true Monarch at best.

Luke sighed, shaking his head.

"What a waste."

Even in death, Laurence had chosen to throw everything away, turning himself into a monster.

Now, Luke had to clean up the mess.

"Annoying."

As he spoke, his massive wolf form began to glow with a dark mist.

At first, the mist was thin—

Then, within seconds, it turned into dense black smoke, completely enveloping his body.

A thunderous wolf howl shook the sky.

The mist burned away, revealing a terrifying new form.

A massive white flame ignited in a ring around Luke’s chest, while four black-red wings unfurled from his back.

He had grown even larger, his wings nearly covering the entire ruins of Jinlin Deserted City.

"W-what the hell is that?!"

Far away, Nate Dawson, who had been fleeing, suddenly froze.

His Star Wolf collapsed, its entire body trembling.

It refused to move.

Nate’s mouth fell open as he looked at the sky.

"What... What kind of creature is this?!"

The oppression coming from Luke’s new form was overwhelming.

It was far beyond the demons Nate had encountered before. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

For the first time in his life, he felt the instinct to kneel.

"Demons are supposed to be evil and brutal, but... why does this one feel so... noble?"

By contrast—

Laurence Mann, the demonized figure cloaked in blood-red energy—

Looked exactly like the monster he had become.

"How did Luke change? Is he in trouble?"

Marissa Jones stared up at the sky in shock, gripping her vine whip.

Zoe Miller, Bella White, and Monica Winters stood beside her, their expressions frozen in disbelief.

"That thing Laurence became... It feels completely evil."

Zoe frowned.

Bella, who hadn’t known Luke’s true identity, swallowed hard, her face pale.

"Nu Jiao... Min Min... That massive wolf—"

"It can’t see us, right?"

"If it does, we’re dead."

Bella’s voice trembled slightly.

Marissa just smiled.

"Don’t worry."

"It won’t see us."

Monica looked at her in confusion.

"Why?"

"Because Luke takes all the firepower for himself."

Marissa shrugged.

"If anything’s getting attacked, it’s him."

Monica was speechless.

These Pearl Academy students... were insane.

"You guys are way too relaxed about this."

After a long pause, she sighed.

"Alright. Where is Luke now?"

"No idea."

"Probably watching the show."

"WHEW!!"

The Three-Eyed Dragon Wolf suddenly let out an excited howl, looking at Luke’s new form in pure admiration.

"Hah! Even my master has a second form?!"

"So cool!!!"

Luke glared at the beast.

"Get out of the way and stop howling."

The wolf flinched, stepping back.

It was because of this idiot that Laurence had been given the time to demonize.

Luke sighed again.

"Tsk. Waste of time."

"ROAAAARRR!!!"

Laurence let out a monstrous roar, his blood-red aura erupting outward.

But he didn’t attack Luke.

Instead—

He charged straight for Nate Dawson.

Even though his mind was gone, some instinct told him—

"Find Nate Dawson. Capture him."

He didn’t even realize that he was already doomed.

But before Laurence could reach Nate—

A massive wall of dark energy materialized in front of him.

Laurence slammed into it—

Only to find that he couldn’t break through.

"Demon Law – Dark Ripples."

Luke’s voice was calm and commanding.

The air around him distorted, as though the very fabric of reality had shifted.

The area within five hundred meters of Luke became a completely different space.

A realm of pure darkness.

And inside this realm—

Luke was unstoppable.

Laurence howled in rage, slamming his clawed fists against the barrier of darkness.

Cracks formed.

But no matter how many times he smashed his fists, the barrier repaired itself instantly.

He had been trapped.

Luke watched in amusement.

"That’s it?"
