The runic formation that Vlad was engraving on Jamis’s chest was not overly complex and went by the name of Demon Cage Runic Formation. The simplicity of the Demon Cage Runic Formation was intentional because if Vlad wanted the Demon Soul Master Strength System to be widespread, the component of this one couldn’t be overly complicated.
Of course, the fact that it was simple did not mean it was weak. On the contrary, it was a very effective runic formation, and Vlad spent nearly three hours working on it before it was completed. Once finished, he took out one of the parchments containing a sealed demon soul.
Vlad took a deep breath and rested for a few minutes, ensuring his mind was at its peak before continuing. Very carefully, he activated the power of the runic formation in the parchment, and black tendrils emerged from it, charging into Jamis’s Demon Cage Runic Formation, carrying in them a demon’s soul.
The soldier’s eyes widened as immense pain assaulted him, but he clenched his teeth and ensured he didn’t move a muscle as the black tendrils merged into the Demon Cage Runic Formation on his chest. It took nearly fifteen minutes, but finally, all the tendrils had fused into the small runic formation, modifying it, and now there was a rune in the shape of a massive demon inside.
Jamis’s face was pale, and he struggled to regulate his breathing as the pain had truly pushed him to his limit. Yet, all those emotions faded the next second as his eyes widened and an expression of shock and awe assaulted his mind.
It started slowly, but soon Jamis felt a burst of power running through his body. It nurtured his flesh and blood, enhancing his overall physical might, and even more amazingly, it nurtured his spirit, enhancing his Sea of Consciousness and allowing the growth of his energy pool!
"Amazing!" Jamis couldn’t help but shout in awe as a feeling of utter thrill filled his heart. And things were not over as he felt something deep inside him, a power he had just obtained yet felt intimately connected to his body.
"Feel free to unleash your abilities. This place is meant to endure explosions, so there will be no problem," Vlad could see the eagerness in the soldier and encouraged him with a smile, urging him to go wild.
As soon as Jamis got permission from Vlad, a wide smile appeared on his face. He focused on his heart and unleashed the power contained inside. The next second, his body began to expand, and hair that seemed capable of stopping heavy artillery covered his skin.
It didn’t take more than five seconds for Jamis to become a massive werewolf, and his power rose immensely. Vlad’s eyes were sharp as he analyzed every moment with the help of the A.I. Chip.
Jamis showed a broad smile as he saw the strength of this transformation. Yet, a strange expression appeared on his face as he felt that this was not his new power’s limit. As Jamis focused on it, the runic formation above his heart glowed with even more power.
The next second, Jamis returned to his normal form as black tendrils emerged from the runic formation and gathered next to him, materializing into a massive demon Champion nearly three meters tall that resembled an infernal three-headed dog.
It took a few seconds for Jamis to adjust to the sight of such a massive beast, and he felt that it was much more powerful than him, even in his transformed state.
Vlad focused on the demon summon and saw it was much more powerful now than when summoned directly from the parchment that had sealed its soul. ’As expected, since the soul is now contained in a flesh and blood vessel, it is more stable and can unleash even greater power when summoned.’
The next second, Vlad sent forward the power of the A.I. Chip and began to analyze the stats of the demon summon. It didn’t take long for the robotic voice of the A.I. Chip to echo in his mind.
[Beep! Analyzing target.
Note: Target is a Demon Summon. It feels no pain or exhaustion. It must return to the Demon Master’s body to replenish its energy and continue fighting. It is incapable of healing its wounds. Damage to the Demon Summon will weaken it and eventually shatter it.]
’It is less powerful than when alive, but it can still express around 80% of its physical strength.’ Vlad was surprised by the stats. This demon Champion was one of the last he captured before leaving the Azarin Empire, and he had obtained a 77% soul integrity when sealing its soul.
Vlad focused on Jamis, and after giving the man a few moments to process the awe and shock, he spoke in a solemn voice. "You should be very careful when summoning the demon soul. It is powerful, and you are in complete control, but any damage it takes will be permanent. If too many wounds add up, it will shatter, and you will need a new demon soul."
Jamis immediately adopted a severe expression as he heard those words and nodded before sending the massive three-headed infernal dog back into the runic formation in his chest. The most precious part of the Demon Soul Master Strength System for him was not the abilities or demon summon, but the fact it constantly nurtured his body and spirit, and he would not lose that due to carelessness.
"Thank you very much for this great gift, King," Jamis uttered those words with immense gratitude and devotion as he performed a deep bow.
"Hard work merits great reward," Vlad uttered those words with a meaningful tone. He indicated for the man to rise before opening the door of the runic laboratory, allowing Jamis to exit and signaling for the next soldier to enter.
