My soul improvements were massive, making me understand things that I previously was unable to.Of course, the understanding didn't run very deep, but it still showed that my progress was affecting me on a deep level that was starting to shift my talent in the right direction!I couldn't help but become a little bit happy as the embers of Shuria's soul tried to curse at me while I devoured him wholly.However, no sound could come out of his soul as the top side had already been wolfed down into my soul.My laugh started to echo into my mindscape as I opened my eyes to the real world and glanced at Skeral, who was just putting the finishing touches on his broken horn, finally fixing it and recovering his previous powers.I dusted my armor as I got up and glanced at Skeral's changing body.His previously red skin was getting white tints on it as a tattoo-like branch started to spread and cover the top of his body, hugging his chest and giving him a strange look.His left horn started to

Darnioz's strange interference made me think heavily about the strength and abilities of the demons that even Skeral was unable to learn about in his brief life in the 13th layer.He was able to grow quickly through treachery and his innate talent, soon enough, the memories that couldn't affect me very much started to seep into my soul after Skeral lost control of everything that made him up, thus leading to the full consumption of his soul.He had lost everything, and his everything had become mine now.The other memories contained his inherited techniques as a demon along with the way he had grown to his current strength.He had betrayed and made contracts with low-level humans at small intervals, getting his way to the 13th layer of hell where he started, and failed a coup against Darnioz.However, the techniques that he contained were mostly unusable to me, at least the ones that had to do with the demonic lineage as I was unable to create the contracts and binds that demons could

The Orcs' chanting continued as I stood on top of the statue before motioning for them to stop as I said:"All of you shall meet me at the coordinates I will give you, announce everyone as I need all the manpower I can get to assault the Lightning Chaser's stronghold, so go fast!"My words made the Orcs that were still around chanting start bowing their heads, and then running around, going to gather all of the Orcs that Skeral has branded since I gave them the coordinates of the Lightning Chasers' stronghold, and there was no reason for them to stay around anymore after I gave the order.I looked at the Orcs quickly making their way through underground caves and tunnels as they went to inform all of the forces that Skeral had gathered up till now about the upcoming battle.I looked down at my hands as I entered once again into the spatial dimension to start traveling toward more of my troops.The ones that I dominated got the message through our connection, but I still had to go to M

I and Mandaia were making our way around the fortress in the underground, trying to find any location that we could use to enter the place undetected.Unfortunately, no matter how we tried to look through around, we were unable to find another weak spot beside the one that would attract the attention of every living being in the fortress, which was against my original plan.I sighed and looked at Mandaia, who was unable to keep herself calm as she wanted to go and fight with her people.But considering she was going to fight someone very strong with me soon enough, she decided to keep her wits and wait.I tried to find any place that I could use to enter the fortress, but this place did not have any cave or underground system that I could use, every tunnel that we were using right now was created right at this moment by me using earth elemental energy.Unfortunately, the castle was covered by the barrier in a perfect loop, so I couldn't break it from below or above.That was a problem

It felt like a pair of eyes was always on my body, never fading. The slimy feeling that I was constantly being watched made me almost want to hurl on the spot. I gritted my teeth as I realized what that blood arrow did to me. After it had dissolved into my bloodstream it created a resonation with the elder that I ran away from, basically giving him a radar that could detect me at any time, regardless of where I was hiding! The arrow dissolved too quickly, or else I would have cut off my left leg before it could spread... I couldn't help but gnash my teeth in anger as I controlled the coordinates of the spatial tunnel that I just entered to make my way toward the Night Elves forest. This was the sole location that the three Orcs couldn't enter with their vast amount of strength, so them knowing that I was inside the forest wouldn't help them one bit! However, I wasn't in the forest yet, and even with the spatial traveling, it would take me at least one or two minutes to arrive at
