They saw me coming, and I could see the fear appearing in the eyes of many.
They could escape others if the host is defeated by someone other than me. Escaping itornas is fast, and they could tear through anything that could try to stop them, but they could not escape me.
That is the greatest fear, because if they lose the host. They could find a new one, but there is only one life.
I am going to kill as many of these bastards as possible. I didn’t want to fight at the beginning, but now that I had tested the strengthening essence, I want more.
Each itornas contains a powerful energy; the strengthening essence of the most powerful is still flowing into my body.
It will last for another one or two minutes before it is fully absorbed. After that, there is another itornas waiting and I want more.
As I moved toward them, I took a single glance at the plant. It is still absorbing the core.
It is made from the blood of over a thousand monsters. Even for the plant, it’s going to take time.
The blood core has already become bigger than its own core, and it’s getting bigger every second as it harvests more energy from it.
I had noticed the plant had even tiny changes, which made the process even more efficient.
It’s now harvesting even more energy and processing faster.
I reached near another host, a half-elf. It’s quite powerful, not as powerful as the last one I had fought, but still powerful.
Seeing me, the host tried to escape, but the one fighting it didn’t let it.
So, when I reached close, the itornas, instead of fighting me, abandoned the host while putting it into self-destruct mode.
Two hands appeared. One caught the itornas and the other the body of the host. Both of them disappeared; one into my core while the other into the mouth of the plant.
It is busy with the core, but as the host appeared. It had swallowed it within the plants, suppressing the self-distrust, before it started eating it.
I don’t want to feed the hosts to the plant, at least not before I study them, but it is self-destructing.
I wouldn’t have been able to suppress it with my formations.
"Thank you, Prime Arys," he thanked. I nodded and flew toward another Itornas while the man quickly drank the potions and other stuff.
There are injuries all over his body, and that is not good.
I am first moving toward the Prime’s, who are having a hard time dealing with the hosts they are fighting. I would have loved to go after the powerful, but I need to do this to save the villagers.
I was halfway to help another Prime when itornas fighting her abandoned the host. It didn’t even wait for me to reach closer to it.
It moved fast, and I could see the relief appearing in those big eyes when it crossed the distance, and the hand didn’t come, when a horror appeared in its eyes.
The hand appeared. Taking it to the core. I also took the host, even when it was on the verge of self-destruction.
Thankfully, it was suppressed immediately by the plant.
I was moving toward the next itornas, when I suddenly stopped and turned.
I looked at the red eye, the eye of the master looking at me menacingly, promising me something more than death. It sent a shudder through my soul.
’Don’t worry about it, we will handle it.’
The reassuring voice of Prime Gold rang out in my mind, and I resumed my target, which is quite powerful, nearly as powerful as the Stone Man earlier.
It turned to face me, while pushing the Prime, it is fighting back.
"You may have killed Kirster, but you won’t be able to kill me," it declared and swung its large pus-covered fire law-encased sword toward me.
I defended with the same strength I used to kill the itornas earlier.
It shook it, before pushing it back where it was immediately attacked by the Prime it was fighting. I had asked him to help me.
I could finish it, but it will take some time with support. It will be much quicker.
The attack was powerful, and it was coming for its head. It activated defensive methods, but it tore through them, leaving no choice but to move his sabre to defend.
As it touched its saber, I moved with my full power. Appearing behind it and pushing my sword into its head, leaving it no choice but to escape.
Immediately, the hand appeared around the itornas and host.
This time, the response from the powerful itoronas was intense. They launched attacks at me to save their kin, but all of them stopped by the Primes. They were fighting, while the Itornas went to my core.
I didn’t waste any time and moved toward the next target.
What I am doing is shocking, it’s torn, but others are as well. It is not something they could do despite being more powerful than I and having a law. Chapters first released on NoveI(F)ire.net
My abilities are tailored to me, and they are crafted for my style.
To capture and harvest. Not to mention the forbidden power. Compared to me, they are very different.
I could have hidden it, but I decided to show it openly in a different format. Rather than the invisible strings, I used hands of strings, with which energy covered them.
The strings are hidden within, so even three would find it hard to sense them.
This show will reinforce my identity even further when we get out of this realm. It comes with the risks, but I decided to take it.
Soon, I captured itornas and then another.
The essence of powerful itornas had finally been spent inside me, and the horseman began flowing. It is a little less powerful than the two, but it will still give me a good rise.
Now and then, I would look at the plant to check on it, since I am sending a lot to its way, but it is doing well.
A little overwhelmed, but well.
I had captured another Itornas and was moving toward the next target when suddenly, I looked up. Something had happened above.
