Chapter 641: Forging new Demon Soul Masters (I)
The rhythmic echoes of ingredients melting and runic inscriptions crossing vast sheets of parchment resonated throughout Vlad’s residence.
The Depravita of Wrath wasn’t alone in this meticulous task—Tyron, the old Runic Master, accompanied him. Together, the two were engrossed in a profound undertaking: modifying the Demon Cage Runic Formation so it could seamlessly integrate with weapons, granting them formidable powers.
However, what appeared straightforward in theory was proving extremely complex in practice.
Unlike a living being endowed with consciousness and will, a weapon lacked sentience, demanding that the power of the demon soul be etched deeply enough within its essence to be summoned effortlessly by the wielder’s mere thought. Vlad and Tyron had already devoted a week to perfecting this new Runic Diagram, yet completion remained frustratingly elusive.
Nevertheless, they weren’t discouraged. Both understood that pioneering work of such complexity required time, patience, and countless incremental improvements. Each minor breakthrough filled their hearts with anticipation and excitement.
Vlad, in particular, was vividly aware of the immense potential market this innovation could create. After all, a warrior was limited by a singular physical body, but weapons were numerous. By enabling Demon Cage-infused weapons, he envisioned remarkable profits.
Tyron, meanwhile, held little interest in wealth or fame. His driving motivation lay solely in the pursuit of mastery. Every small improvement was a step toward personal excellence, something he valued far above material gains since it was connected to his cultivation base.
Vlad wasn’t solely focused on the Demon Cage Formation. He dedicated considerable effort to refining the Darkness Devouring Runic Formation. This project, however, he pursued alone. However, Vlad respected Tyron and doubted the old master’s potential betrayal; such powerful and sensitive secrets simply couldn’t be shared carelessly.
The Depravita of Wrath understood that trust had limits, especially concerning formations that could affect the entire market of the Greacia Empire and antagonize the powerful Zanis Association.
