The look on Zinigrid's face made Artie laugh inwardly. He was so confused as if things just went the way he didn't expect them to be. Not only was his demon soul ring stolen, but she actually produced them right after they get killed. Zinigrid said that there were defined ways to harvest demon soul rings, but she figured this was never one of those that he spoke about at all.
Dropping those thoughts, Artie was a little pouty on the inside. She only had nine demon soul rings right now, but she needed ten before she could upgrade Larkin's power to the 50% allotment. He would grow stronger and learn more spells that way. Who knew if he could be as destructive as she was now by then? She just needed one more dumb denizen to kill—ah, no, even if it was from her linked connections' hands.
It just felt like she was stealing what they reap for their labor. Should she give Zinigrid's demon soul ring back?
