Chapter 354: Inferno Shatter and Wind Piercer
"It’s done," Vlad said softly.
Mirena slowly sat up, feeling a surge of energy coursing through her body. The runes glowed faintly before settling beneath her skin, invisible but alive with power.
"Thank you, my King," the Royal Guard’s voice was sharp and powerful. Deep gratitude was evident in her eyes as she felt the immense power she now controlled.
Vlad smiled at the Royal Guard and signaled her to leave the runic laboratory. As soon as he was alone, the Depravita of Wrath collapsed to the ground, taking deep breaths as he allowed himself a moment of respite. Vlad did not care about appearances or looking tough, but they were in a war, and it was fundamental that people saw him as an unstoppable force.
The moment the Depravita of Wrath appeared on the battlefield, the sense of certainty in victory would rise in their hearts, allowing them to unleash strength they didn’t even know they had. Morale was key in any battle and could lead to victory against impossible odds or defeat in the face of a weaker enemy.
After twenty minutes, Vlad finally felt his strength return to his body, his energy pool again burning with power, and his mind no longer burdened by stress. He rose from the ground and opened the door before speaking in a sharp voice. "Frank, your turn."
Immediately after Vlad uttered those words, the Royal Guard appeared inside the room and closed the door.
The first time Vlad interacted with Frank, the young man had been full of nervousness, and his physique was average at best. Yet now, his eyes burned with literal demonic flames, his muscles rippled, and his aura was that of a soldier who had faced death countless times. His hair was fiery red, a physical change due to the power of the demon soul inside his heart, much like Mirena’s transformation.
Vlad nodded to the man, a small smile forming as he saw how much Frank had improved. He signaled for him to move to the operation table.
