Chapter 207: Soul sealing (II)
Vlad grabbed the incapacitated body of the demon Champion and placed it next to the parchment with the runic formation before activating it.
Freya’s eyes narrowed as she focused on the parchment. Her knowledge about runes was limited, so she could only rely on her sight to understand what was happening, and what she saw shocked the viking princess.
Black, extremely slender tendrils emerged from the runic formation and pierced the body of the demon Champion. Immediately, a sense of utter agony appeared on the demon. Still, the power of the lightning kept it paralyzed, preventing it from moving a single muscle while the tendrils extended across its entire body.
The pain peaked once the tendrils entered the demon’s brain and reached its Soul Dimension. At that point, the pain was so intense that the demon Champion only wanted to die, but there was nothing it could do to stop it.
Vlad’s eyes were cold as he felt not a single iota of empathy toward the monster that butchered the entire town, ensuring the A.I. Chip monitored every step of the process. This runic formation was extremely important as it would be the key to a new enhancement for his troops.
After the black tendrils had fully reached the deepest part of the demon’s body and spirit, they began to retract into the parchment, making the monster shake as its life force and vitality rapidly faded.
Freya saw how the light in the demon Champion’s eyes faded, marking the end of its life, leaving behind a desiccated corpse that seemed to be only dry bones and shriveled skin.
No Origin Force emanated from the corpse, and it seemed that the Plane Will did not consider Vlad involved in the demon’s death, or maybe the method was unsuitable. However, all those thoughts faded as Freya’s eyes turned toward the parchment and saw how it began to change.
In the beginning, there was an empty space in the middle, yet as the black tendrils merged back, changes began to appear, and under Freya’s shock, she saw the appearance of a rune in the form of the three-headed demon Champion and her awe grew as she felt soul force emanating from it.
"You... you managed to seal the demon’s soul into the parchment!" The young woman’s eyes were full of awe. The realm of the soul was incredibly harsh to master, and sealing the soul of any life form, especially one with a Soul Dimension, was beyond amazing.
[Beep! Soul integrity: 36%]
On the other hand, Vlad frowned as he saw the state of the runic formation and softly shook his head when he heard the message from the A.I. Chip. "The state of the demon’s soul is too frail; it will not endure the next step."
