890 Blood Soul Tower Part 1 (1/2)

The eggs of magic bugs were of bright red color. The eggs burrowed with all they had got into the flesh of the angel of fear. The liquid secreted by the eggs softened the flesh of the angel of fear. As soon as the eggs made it inside, they began to absorb the flesh within and grew rapidly.

Magic bugs were the lowest form of existence on the demon plane. Even demons treated the bugs as little more than common foodstuff. That food could be dangerous in itself, nonetheless. The magic bugs survived by sheer numbers. Some had also left behind comparatively horrifying bloodlines.

The ones kept as Nailisi's prized possessions were of two bloodlines. The bugs bred rapidly and larvae were known to kill each other. Only the strongest were able to survive. After tens of generations individuals capable of killing demons were born. More than one-hundred generations later, individuals capable of taking down supreme demons would also appear among the bloodlines.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Nailisi did not put any hopes in her bloodlines being able to produce strong individuals. She only wanted the dead bodies of them as materials for crafting soul beads. Dead bloodshine breed bugs would turn into red crystals. The higher the level of the dead bug, the higher the level of the crystal yielded.

Nailisi had not intended to take her three-faced bone demon form. As the bloodshines bugs were able to devour the angel of fear's flesh, things had gotten easier for her. Her own demon lineage was the most powerful. Her spirit form had yet to advance to king level. That meant it would not have done her any good to absorb more soul flames than the winged skeleton. Such advancement required her to develop deeper understanding of the rules of the spirits before it became possible.

Eggs of bloodshines bugs hatched quickly, yielding hundreds of them at once. Almost all of them were crushed under the pressure of the seawater around. Even so, the fratricide took place as usual. The newborn bloodshines breed had yet to develop tough shells, meaning that the slaughter was done quickly. In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of bugs born were reduced to only two.

The dead ones had their bodies cannibalized. The remaining two were bugs of similar prowess. They began eating away at the angel of death instead of killing each other.

Saleen watched the eggs and the weird breeding phenomenon for a few seconds, then he went on to craft his equipment without bothering to address Nailisi. The magic bugs were indeed strange, but it was impossible for them to advance beyond grade-10. There was little else for them to eat there; that meant they would not grown to disastrous numbers.

The water flame under his control spread out to an area several yards. The skin of the angel of fear was being crafted bit by bit. Saleen then took out thirty-six single-horned white whales' horns. They seemed to be the only material capable of matching the skin of the angel of fear.

Thirty-six whale horns were crafted into a round frame. It was then covered by the skin of the angel of fear, creating a war drum with a diameter of three yards.

The drum's underside was smooth, but it had a ferocious-looking face on the upside. The face was made flat by Saleen. Despite the face having lost its soul, it glared angrily at him nonetheless.

That was the memory of the body. Seeing the face actually had Saleen feel more pleased with himself. It was that thing that had caused Soldier to self destruct, reducing him to a heart and a flame that seemed close to being snuffed out.

Saleen thought for a bit, before taking out the broken jade from the bag and putting it in front of the drum, saying, ”You see this now? This is what you ended up becoming. My War Drum of Fear, a tool to help me conquer the world!”

Saleen provoked the linked soul of the angel of fear while opening a slit on the broken jade unnoticeably. He used a portion of the rules of Eternal Control that he was familiar with. Even if Saleen was to use all of his powers at it, he would not have been able to keep the slit opened for more than a split second.

The time was simply too short to even cast instant magic.

”Don't fall for it!”, the angel of fear yelled. She had developed a fear of Saleen. Her intuition told her that it was but a trap.

The linked soul of the angel of fear however, did not possess enough intelligence to discern something like that. It simply took the split second chance to try to escape. As soon as a thread was seen, Saleen's left hand went grabbing it tight. His left hand seemed shriveled due to the use of Crystal Finger, looking like a branch of a tree. The casting of Crystal Finger that time however, was incomplete and the recoil suffered was nowhere near as strong as before. As a result, his left hand was still capable of standard tasks expected of a hand.

The slit in the broken jade was shut as soon as the linked soul had one thread left outside. Shrieks of pain were heard, yet it was no longer capable of casting any signs of fear at Saleen.

Saleen smirked as he took out an Eternal Control shard. He had intended to use it to subdue elemental creatures, but it would prove adequate to deal with something like that. A thread of a soul was too weak to be worth mentioning after all.

The thread of soul was sucked right into the Eternal Control shard, which Saleen then threw into the water flame. The shard was quickly fused with the war drum, making it to the center and levitating there.

”Nailisi, leave the skull and the spine behind!”

”Master, what about that pile of bones then?”, Nailisi could not help but ask.
