263 Nirvanic Rebirth (1/2)

Despite the power of Sophia and the demon, when the shock waves generated in its core finally ended, the volcano still stood strong.

But the calmness was just an illusion. After those few short moments of peace, the magmatic chamber with the thousand of tons of lava became the origin of an outburst of dark flames. The power carried in that explosion was so high that the entire volcano was reduced to ashes in an instant.

The flames gave the illusion they could reach the Crystal Wall. It generated a sonic boom so loud it could liquify the inner organs of a Rank 1 life form with ease. There was also a hurricane of toxic air that extended for hundreds of kilometers.

The core of the explosion reached equal temperatures to the ones you would find on the surface of a sun belonging to a Low World.

Two figures covered in flames were ejected from the explosion with such a potency that they landed more than five hundred kilometers away from the area where there used to be a volcano.

The first one to disperse the fire was Sophia. Her breathing was harsh and energy in a disarray. She continuously coughed mouthfuls of blood. The inner organs of the Neo-Demon were filled with injuries.

Most of her skin was charred, her eyes were destroyed due to the immense temperatures and her left leg was gone. The Styx cocoon was pulverized and only a thin layer remained covering the body of the Neo-Demon.

The condition of the Abyssfire Demon Phoenix was countless times worse. The only thing that remained from his body was part of his chest and head. The heat he endured was so high that his remains appear to be petrified.

Sophia stared at the corpse of the demon and her eyes narrowed. She took a moment to take control of her body and then slowly flew to the Abyssfire Demon Phoenix.

The Neo-Demon was less than five meters away from the demon and was about to place him into her spatial ring when the eyes of the Abyssfire Demon Phoenix glowed with dark light. From them, an invincible force was fired into Sophia's consciousness.

The attack had immense power and Sophia fainted for a moment. In that instant, a drop of dark red blood came out from the head of the Abyssfire Demon Phoenix and landed on Sophia's glabella before melting inside her head.

It only took a moment for Sophia's eyes to regain their focus. She grabbed her head and an expression of immense pain could be seen on her face.

The light in the Neo-Demon's eyes was constantly changing. You could see a chaotic and evil presence appear on them for a moment along with a nasty smirk.

In the space where Sophia's soul resided, a foreign entity appeared. Unlike the Neo-Demon's soul that appeared to be an agglomeration of energy, the soul of the Eliezer had the form of an Abyssfire Demon Phoenix.

This is because the demon had previously awakened his True Soul. However, its power was severely weakened. You could notice it by the fact the soul was almost translucent.

What Eliezer had done was use the last bit of power he had to transport his bloodline and True Soul into Sophia's body.

The original body of a creature would always be the best vessel for his soul. That was because, from their creation, they were perfectly tuned for each other. This is the reason why Rank 4 life forms would usually create a clone of their original bodies to occupy, in case they are forced to escape with only their True Souls.

The stronger and older your soul is, the more severe would be the side effects of transferring it to another body. With the right knowledge, those problems could be reduced.

Eliezer had controlled several Peak Rank 3 demons from whom he could have taken over their bodies. However, those bodies were too weak and their aptitudes were too trashy for him to disregard the side effects.

The condition of his body, after the explosion, was too severe. There was nothing he could do other than invade Sophia's body. When he realized how amazing the body of a Neo-Demon was, he was ecstatic.

He wanted to assimilate Sophia's soul to heal some of the damage on his True Soul and then take full control of the body. What he did not know was that the moment the Neo-Demon's soul perished, the Chaotic-Core would destroy the Bloodline Heart and Elemental Chaos Heart and waste away the body.
