Chapter 234: Demon Soul Master Strength System (V)

Over the next few days, Vlad engraved the runic formation above the heart of all the soldiers who kept control over the dungeon of Xaos City. It took a lot of time, but finally, after three days, all eleven men had a demon soul sealed inside their bodies and had become the first batch of Demon Soul Masters of the Xaos Kingdom.

After performing deep bows full of gratitude toward Vlad, the group left the Xaos Tower and returned to the dungeons, each and every one of them with a wide smile on their faces as they felt the power running through their veins.

Vlad was very happy with the data he gathered and to have helped those men who had worked so hard. Once that was over, he closed his eyes and fell to the ground, falling asleep. Three days of continuous focus had tired him, and he wanted to be in peak condition before the next soul integration.

Thanks to his higher vitality and Level, Vlad only needed five hours of sleep to wash away all the exhaustion from the past few days. Then, without wasting time, he took out a new parchment. This one was unlike the others, as the demonic skin used to manufacture it belonged to a Level 14 Abyssal Demon, and the materials for the runic formation were extremely precious.

There was a solemn and sharp light in Vlad’s eyes as he gazed at the rune in the center of the runic formation, resembling a massive bulging skeletal demon. After obtaining all the data from the previous soul integrations, Vlad was confident in performing it on his own body without flaws.

However, before that, he needed to modify certain things. Vlad took out his runic pens and began to change the Inferno Comet Runic Set.

One of the core components of the Inferno Comet Runic Set was the Rune of Infernal Ignition, which took place on his chest and surrounded the area around his heart. Vlad needed to modify it if he wanted to engrave the Demon Cage Runic Formation.

The process was not easy and required a lot of focus, as any mistake would severely weaken the power of the Inferno Comet Runic Set. Changing the Rune of Infernal Ignition was even harder than making it, but after nearly two hours, Vlad succeeded, and a smile of relief appeared on his face as he saw that there was no damage to the Runic Set.

After that, and without further delay, Vlad charged a new set of materials into his runic pen and began to engrave the Demon Cage Runic Formation onto his chest, right above his heart. Since the demon soul he was going to seal was stronger, the runic formation was a little more complicated but not by much since it was still a Champion Tier soul.

It took Vlad four hours to finish the Demon Cage Runic Formation on his chest. Then he focused on the parchment that contained the Abyssal Demon’s soul and sent his energy inside. Immediately, a massive amount of black tendrils emerged, carrying with them a powerful soul force that began to fuse into the Demon Cage Runic Formation.

Pain assaulted Vlad as he felt his flesh ignite and fire began to circulate through his veins, but he clenched his teeth, not making a single move, and kept focused and in control at all times, with the A.I. Chip always alert in case something went wrong.

Luckily, there was no problem during the transfer of the demon soul from the parchment to the Demon Cage Runic Formation. Vlad’s face was pale, and he was having a hard time regulating his breath, but just like Jamis and the others, all this faded from his mind as he felt the power coursing through his flesh and blood and nurturing his spirit.

Along with that power, there was also knowledge. It did not come with words but feelings, and as Vlad focused on them, he instinctively knew how to harness the power of the demon soul.

Vlad took a deep breath as the Demon Cage Runic Formation on his chest began to glow, and the next second, a dark red lightning mantle covered his entire body. A smile of pure bliss appeared on the Depravita of Wrath’s face as he saw this new power.

He remembered very well how this ability enhanced the speed of the massive Abyssal Demon at a shocking level and also acted as a shield that could block the might of his blades. Now that power belonged to him!

Vlad did not lose himself in the thrill of this new power and took a deep breath, deactivating the abilities before focusing once more on the Demon Cage Runic Formation. In the next second, a massive amount of black tendrils emerged and materialized the massive Abyssal Demon.

The Abyssal Demon’s dark figure was truly imposing, but Vlad did not focus on that and immediately used the A.I. Chip to scan it and see just how powerful the demon summon was.

Vlad smiled as he saw that there was only a ten percent reduction in its physical abilities. Of course, that did not mean the Abyssal Demon was only ten percent weaker than when alive, as it no longer had access to its energy pool or abilities.

’I wonder just how much of its battle power remains. Mmm, I guess there is only one way to find out.’ Vlad’s eyes glowed with a meaningful light as his smile grew wider. He took out a massive sinister bastard sword from his space ring and threw it to the demon summon.

The demon summon grabbed the massive bastard sword, and the next second, it turned toward Vlad with killing intent. A demon soul could not resist an order from its Demon Master, even if the order was to attack the Demon Master with all its power.
