Beyond the Apocalypse

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.
