Chapter 208: Soul sealing (III)
There seemed to be three demon Champions in the small town, but Freya was not worried as the number of demonic beasts was less than three hundred. She would not drain her energy facing such a low number, and if she still had Force, then defeating the demon Champions would be easy.
The three demon Champions that had taken over Juro Town were impressive, stronger than average Champions, taking the form of a massive black spider, a large spiked wolf, and an enormous eagle. Their power was impressive, and the last one’s aerial abilities made it a very dangerous opponent. Yet, Freya was able to cripple all three, defeating them but not landing a deadly blow, as she was sure Vlad would want to use them for his experiments.
The three demon Champions attempted to stand up, but before they could, arcs of lightning fell from the sky and paralyzed their bodies.
Vlad and Jormungandr had seen the fights from a distance, and the small yellow cat made sure to paralyze the demon Champions once Freya defeated them. The Depravita of Wrath descended from the building and nodded to the viking princess before taking out a new parchment.
Vlad took a deep breath, focused on the massive black spider, and activated the runic formation inside the parchment. Immediately, black and thin tendrils emerged and pierced the body of the demon Champion, causing unbearable agony as they spread across flesh and blood before diving into the brain and Soul Dimension.
Silence reigned as Vlad, Jormungandr, and Freya gazed at the tendrils, watching them grip the demon Champion’s soul before retracting along with every iota of life in the body, going back into the parchment.
Soon, a new rune appeared in the center of the parchment, this one in the form of a massive demonic spider. The soul force it emanated was stronger and more stable than the last time.
[Beep! Soul integrity: 43%]
Vlad showed a small smile and nodded. He used the same cheap materials but improved the integrity of the demon’s soul by 7%. ’According to the A.I. Chip calculation, I need a soul integrity percentage of at least 70% if I want the demon spirit to endure the next step.’
After taking the soul of the demon Champion, Vlad did not immediately proceed to the next one. Instead, he meticulously analyzed the data the A.I. Chip had collected, running countless simulations to refine the runic formation and soul-sealing process.
Jormungandr remained by his side, ensuring the seal on the demon remained stable, while Freya adopted a meditative position, restoring her energy and stamina.
For several hours, Vlad was engrossed in his analysis. His mind was a whirlwind of calculations and theoretical adjustments, each detail scrutinized and re-scrutinized. He observed every variable, considering the potential impact of each minor alteration. During hours, he analyzed the simulation of the A.I. Chip, making tiny adjustments to the runic formation, guided by the data gained in the last experiment.
