Chapter 643: Forging new Demon Soul Masters (III)
After a few hours, Janus finally emerged from Vlad’s residence, a bright smile illuminating the Imperial Prince’s face. He pressed his palm gently against his chest, right where the runic engraving had taken root, and felt the powerful soul force coursing through him. This energy granted him a formidable new set of abilities, continuously nurturing his body and spirit.
Vlad let out a slow breath, believing he would finally have the chance to return to his research.
However, before the day was through, Titus and Crixus—twin mages—arrived at the entrance of his residence, each hauling a sizable iron cage. Within these cages were sealed demons, their violent auras barely contained behind thick bars. Although visibly tired, Vlad offered the pair a faint smile and stepped aside, allowing them to enter.
In the days that followed, a similar pattern repeated itself with almost unrelenting frequency. Vlad would finish engraving the Demon Cage Runic Formation on one person, only to have yet another member of Janus or Agamenon’s teams at his doorstep soon after, each bringing a freshly captured demon.
Exhaustion tugged at Vlad; not only did these engravings demand immense concentration, but he also needed to continue to work on his own runic formation diagrams. Nevertheless, he couldn’t turn any of them away. These men and women had fought shoulder to shoulder with him and stood by his side against a Legend, risking their lives. Abandoning them now would be unthinkable.
One by one, these warriors arrived, and one by one, they left as Demon Soul Hunters, each bearing a Peak Sage-Tier Demon Cage anchored in their hearts.
Although the repetitive nature of the work weighed heavily on him, Vlad couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pride with each successful engraving, as he felt his skills improving.
After four wearisome days, Vlad finally completed the last engraving for the team members that accompanied him to the secret plane of the Dino Race. He let out a long sigh of relief, anticipating some well-deserved time to focus on his private experiments.
Yet just as he was about to return to his runic research, his communication gem began to glow incessantly. Messages from powerful cultivators and representatives of various forces surged in, all clamoring for his skill in forging the new Demon Cages.
