Beyond the Apocalypse

[Beep! Soul integrity: 57.8%] The modification to the new soul-sealing runic formation failed to grant a full point of advancement which was why Vlad barely felt any difference. Luckily, thanks to the A.I. Chip, he was able to detect and quantify the improvement.

’It will take dozens or maybe hundreds of more experiments to reach the 70% mark, and that is the bare minimum I will need for the next phase.’ Vlad could not help but release a small sigh as he thought of the immense task ahead, but his eyes soon glowed with resolution. This project would grant a massive boost to the soldiers of the Xaos Kingdom and might be the difference between losing dozens of people and thousands during the war against the Azarin Empire.

With focus and determination, Vlad led Freya and Jormungandr on a voyage through Sunshine City. They split the entire city into quadrants, ensuring they would visit every single inch of the city so no demon would escape their sight.

Horde after horde was located by the trio, and the viking princess took all of them down. Freya was always the one in charge of the battles, and with every single alien she killed, the young viking princess felt herself a little closer to gaining the goodwill of the Plane Will.

Freya knew the process would normally take several years as the Plane Will would most likely not even notice her at first, but since she was next to a World King Candidate, it would be much faster.

Freya killed every single demonic beast, making sure to cripple those that reached the Champion Tier, so Vlad could use them to improve his soul-sealing runic formation. The duo did not stop moving and fighting, resting only as they flew from one quadrant to the other on top of the demon summon.

After ten days, dozens of thousands of demons dead, and nearly thirty more experiments, Jormungandr finally woke up from his long slumber. The small yellow cat managed to recover exceptionally fast thanks to the Depravita Racial Abilities that constantly nurtured his soul and spirit.

With the addition of the Depravita of Gluttony’s spells, it became much easier to paralyze the demon Champions, and the trio carried on their quest. More and more demonic beasts were killed, their bodies scorched, and the souls of those above Level 5 sealed in parchments made of demonic skin.

After three weeks, Vlad, Freya, and Jormungandr had cleaned over 80% of Sunshine City from the infestation of demons. However, as they were heading north, they could not help but frown at the small number of demons in the area.
