142: I want that soul

I want that soul

Everyone from the Ren family ran to the courtyard the moment they felt the overwhelming pressure coming from there. And while most people fell unconscious the metal vessel holders managed to stay conscious. And it was only because of the support of their Djinns.2

Judar was looking at this situation and decided to act. He pulled out his magic wand and aimed it at Demolus, while his body trembled from the pressure the man was releasing.

Judar is one of the four Magi in the current era and a Magician who specializes in Ice Magic. He is the former Oracle of Al-Thamen and the Kou Empire after siding with Hakuryuu to aid him in taking over the Kou Empire. According to Hakuryuu Ren, the name "Judar" was given by Al-Thamen, and his real name is unknown.

Judar is a lean and fairly muscular young man of average height. He has red, ringed eyes and black medium-length hair with a long, segmented ponytail that stretches down to his ankles. He wears purple makeup on his eyes, which fades toward the inner portions of his eyelids.

Judar sports an Indian chunnari around his shoulders and a small, short-sleeved, black, midriff-baring choli, which is where he keeps his Magic Wand. He also sports an Indian leg dress, which stops at his ankles but does not wear shoes. He has gold bangle bracelets that extend from his elbows to his wrists and a gold bangle necklace with a ruby in the center that is inspired by Rajasthani folk dancers.

But before the magi could act he heard the man speak, as the pressure disappeared. "Oh sorry about that, I thought you could handle a bit of my aura, I didn't mean to scare or pressure you." Demolus spoke with a mischievous smile on his face.

Gyokuen Ren looked at Demolus with narrowed eyes, and every single person who was here was looking at this situation, with their metal vessels ready for battle. While Gyokuen took up a sword that was lying near her feet, the sword belonged to one of the unconscious soldiers lying on the ground.

She started casting some magic as she walked in Demolus's direction with confidence. And the moment she reached him, she slashed with her sword, trying to cut his neck, but contrary to her expectation, Demolsu just stood there and took the hit. Every single person who saw the situation was tense, but the moment the blade contacted the skin of the red-haired man, they heard a metallic sound of clashing just before the sword broke in half.

Everyone looked at Demolus, whose neck had taken on this black metallic sheen, they looked at him and then at Gyokuen Ren who was holding a broken sword in her right hand.

"You know it's a bit rude to treat your guests like that, right?" Demolus asked while looking at the woman, with a grin.

"You are really interesting, why don't you join Al-Thamen, I'm sure you would be interested in it." Gyokuen spoke with a smile of her own

While the two had their staredown, Judar walked to Hakuryuu as he walked him to the rest of the Ren family. As he started talking with them and discussing what they should do.

"If I join, will you give me your soul?" Demolus asked, he wanted to know what he could get for trading her soul to his system, after all, Arba who right now was possessing Gyokuen, was known to be the strongest swordswoman, and one of the oldest entities to still exist. So he should get him some benefits from her, right?

"You….!" The woman clearly wasn't happy with what Demolus said as she stared at him angrily.

"Look, I'll be straight with you, I'm here to collect your soul, and I will get your soul one way or another so we can do it the easy way or the hard way." Demolus explained while nodding, thinking of himself as some sage while he brushed his nonexistent beard.

"Borg Al-Samm!" Gyokuen said angrily as the faint black barrier surrounding her increased the moment Demolus tried to touch her. As many black dragon heads extended from the black barrier surrounding her.

Borg Al-Samm (Eight-Headed Defensive Wall): This is a Magic created from Borg. It enables Gyokuen to manipulate and expand it offensively, creating dragon heads from her Borg in Black Rukh.

Demolus smiled as the dragon heads attacked him, But he brushed it off as his yoki protected him from the strange black energy they were made of. While Demolus was playing with Gyokuen, Judar and the rest were looking at this situation with caution.

"You all should be careful of the man, he's not human." Judar spoke while keeping his eyes on Demolus.

"What do you mean he's not human, is it because of the wings?" Hakuryuu asked while looking at the scene of Demolus smiling and brushing off the big dragon heads like they were nothing.

"No I'm not sure, but he has no connection with the rukh. It's like he doesn't even belong in this world. Every single creature in our world has a connection with the rukh or some inside them, but this man has none of that. The only thing I could figure out was that he uses some sort of different energy to fight." Judar spoke while watching the battle, well more like Demolus playing around with Gyokuen Ren.
