42 Strange Turn of Events Part 1 (2/2)

Stabbing them with a normal magic knife would ensure actual damage but it won't kill them the same as tearing them apart even if you use magic to do it. The weak ones won't be able to pull themselves together when attacked with magic the strong ones are different there resilient and can force out the magic still on them.

To effectively kill them there are many ways I recommend just setting them on fire to kill them if you're short on time, but it has to be fire created from magic. Its the connection they have with the thing they're attached to that keeps them alive even though they should be dead. Injecting their body with foreign magic beaking whatever connection they had with what they possessed than a simple stab to the heart or brain would kill them then. You could also purify the body in a ritual like how we do when we want to chop down a tree and kill them then. There are many kinds of weapons and techniques you could use to finish them off. You coul also just directly destroy the soul if your able to”.

Velar looked at Nisus unfazed by what he heard ”so what your saying is these guys are super easy to kill you just need the right tool. I've fought many mages with far stranger abilities and far more stubborn to kill than what I heard”.

”While interrogating the souls I did face one problem there apparently trying to hide something from me. Everytime I try to force one of them to speak about it they steel themselves and endure anything I do to them. There scared of something what I do not know but what ever it is they find it more terrifying then me which is a grave mistake on there part”.

”Nisus the thing there scared of is most likely the cause for what brung them here so if were find what it is than we can figure out why all these souls are here”.

Nisus agreed with Velar once more ”but you must know were the true value of these souls lye. I've tested it and it seems these souls are able to change there plane coordinate to match that of any world as many times as they want. They only need to either eat a soul from that world or possess an object that originated from there. I think you can guess what that entails can't you?.”

”If I'm following your train of thought then that means that we obtained a potentially disposable army of easy to manipulate rank 3 mages that we can groom by force-feeding souls and a little training. With them being able to change their plane coordinate on a whim they can effectively avoid the suppression from the world's will allowing them to use 100% of there power making them the best invasion force imaginable. That means that the rate at which clans everywhere concur worlds will increase 1000 fold and since we were right next to where it happened we obtained a powerful and priceless army for free.

Nisus lapped the table as he laughed because he was spot on ”we did practically nothing and now we're going to be showered with gifts. Not just us everyone in the clan I heard the chairman already started receiving all kinds of offers for only a hand full of the souls we got”.

Nisus was happily celebrating when someone else knocked on his door. He let the person in to see it was his secretary ”what is it?”.

Nisus secretary who was a rank 2 mage bowed showing his respect to Nisus and Velar before speaking ”I have urgent news an envoy from The King of Beggars has arrived here requesting an audience he is currently waiting in the lobby”.

Nisus had a look of surprise on his face as he jolted up from his seat ”The King of Beggars envoy, this could be troublesome”.
