Chapter 20: New Plane’s Will
As soon as Vlad finished the incantation, the Origin Force inside his Soul Dimension was consumed, and the dark aura exploded with power, enveloping both the man and the cat. The next moment, it surged into the deepest part of his existence, reaching his soul.
Vlad had prepared himself, yet when the force tore a piece of his soul, he experienced a pain so intense it made him wish for death. It was an agony no human should be able to endure, but he clenched his teeth, focusing on the small yellow cat, refusing to give up and using his willpower to remain conscious.
After the dark force ripped a piece of Vlad’s soul, it flowed into the small yellow cat, completely enveloping it.
Vlad couldn’t see what was happening as the dark force was too thick, but when the soul-wrenching pain faded, a radiant smile appeared on his face, knowing he had succeeded. The only way the damage to his soul and the pain it caused would fade was if his soul was now bound to someone else and their lives were connected.
The dark force began to disperse, revealing the small yellow cat in his arms, unharmed and with just a small patch of white fur on his head. Jormungandr looked the same as before, but the power running through his body was exceptional.
"Mmm, tuna, give me tuna."
"Hahahahaha. Always thinking about food. You are really fit to become the Depravita of Gluttony!"
Vlad burst into laughter as he heard the small cat murmuring in his sleep about eating tuna. However, along with the laughter, there were tears of immense happiness and relief.
With a smile, a small cat in his left hand, and a sword in his right, Vlad turned toward the exhausted group. Even if they were enraged by his plot against Asmael, Vlad’s demonstrated power and abilities were so formidable that they were terrified to make a move.
