However, that soul seemed to be more rebellious than I initially thought. Just as he started to regain more than two thirds of his initial body, he started to move towards the outside.

Hey, you need to stop! I tried to stop him, but aside from the weak energy threads surrounding parts of his body, I couldnt do anything else to him.

These weak threads arent able to stop him. I tried to use the same trick and control my energy to surround and stop him, but I failed.

For unknown reasons, this time I couldnt trap him. My energy surrounded his body, but weirdly enough his body seemed to devour them.

Damn! Was that bastard going to use his ability on me first or what?

Ok, if you were acting like a naughty kid, then it was just fair to let you suffer from the darkness outside. I kept a few threads following him, to save him at the moment of crisis.

After all, I wanted to just teach him a lesson, not really kill him.

But what happened next was out of my wildest expectations.

As that soul got to the outer border of my meridian zone, he was only one hair breadth away from regaining his full shape.

He then took the last step towards the border zone, then stepped outside. I knew he was going to suffer, and so I moved all the energy I could muster from my dantian and meridians here.

But when he stepped outside, it seemed like his body turned all black. It started with his outer lining, giving him an eerie feeling.

The central zone was silver white, and the outer layer was black. The blackness kept increasing, as if he wasnt affected by it.

I was this step away from pushing my energy out and helping him. But for a reason it felt like he was enjoying this.

A devour ability Its interesting I decided to wait and see how his ability would fare against this darkness here.

This wasnt just a simple darkness world, it was a big and boundless world, connected to a much larger dark universe.

So in the end, this dude had to stop at one point. And I was curious to see what he was going to look like after that.

That dude didnt seem to know the limit to his ability. Just a few minutes after his daring move, he made a more daring one.

The darkness around him was already making a clustering layer of an inch or so. But then it started to go wild, forming torrents and whirlpools around his body.

That dude was he turning into a bottomless pit or what?

You know absorbing too much isnt going to do you any good if you cant digest well, I tried to help, and said in my mind, hoping he would hear my words and listen to them.

He was just doing exactly like the spearhead did. The latter was going to explode, but I hoped my boy here wouldnt commit the same mistake.

Im not even full yet, dad, he suddenly said in my mind, in a voice that was more similar to a three-year-old kids voice.

You Can I speak?!! He called me dad! What the f*ck!!!

Kid, I didnt give birth to anyone yet. Dont scare me like this!

I need your help, dad. Can you give me that tasty meal again?

I didnt know what he meant for a second before I realised what he was talking about. You like my energy? I asked.

Its delicious! More than this meal here, he said, I just want to add it as a teaser to eat more. I loved your meal dad! I even integrated parts of it into my body.

Cool, I didnt know what to say to this child that kept calling me dad. Luckily I was the only one able to hear him. If Hilary or Karoline heard him, what would they think of me?

Damn!

I didnt delay in sending him the delicious meal he asked for. That little kid was seeing my energy as a tasty meal, even considering it as a teaser to eat more.

The moment my meridians moved to touch his body, it felt like that kid wasnt as young and small as he seemed.

He started devouring my energy like never before. It felt like my meridians here were going dry.

I had to push more energy towards these meridians from my dantian here, also sending more meridians towards him.

Without knowing it, this soul started to be like another dantian of mine here. He was surrounded with a dense layer of meridians, and above that thick and wild dark energy kept gathering and pouring into his body.

This kid he was doing much better than I thought! He didnt even show any struggle so far, even his body didnt swell for even an inch.

As for the meridian network, the repulsion and aggressive attacks that I experienced before vanished. That made me try and push much more meridians around him.

And like I expected, they didnt face any struggle to expand at all.

Great! I could use that Devour boy as an anchor and make a dense cluster of my meridians around him.

But my energy here was getting depleted fast. I looked around and decided to go all out.

A bone I recalled what Sith said. I needed a bone now.

I opened my eyes, took a fast gaze around. That bastard brought over seventy weapons so far. I still had time then.

I took out a black grade bone, the last one I had from my inventory. I had many dark gold ones left and pale gold as well. But I decided to use the highest grade first.

As I held it, I closed my eyes and started to regulate absorbing the bone energy. It wasnt that easy to do that. But as I had experience dealing with this from before, I didnt do bad this time.
