Ruxa's eyes were glued to this demon who had taken control of her. He now slightly hovered above the crying souls. She could see them become darker and cover him in a way she felt chills looking at.
A soul-wrenching cry burst out at this moment as a dark red pillar rose from Jake's location. The high-grade mana stones rapidly became smaller as their stored mana got sucked toward the middle.
A wild air blew which turned into a terrifying shock wave. Ruxa hid behind a stone house and covered her ears. Behind her, the souls began laughing instead of crying.
''Hihihi…''
''Ahahaha!''
Their eyes and mouths elongated as they disintegrated, getting sucked by the pillar which burst from the demon's body.
Jake felt as if his existence had taken a higher step. The marks which disappeared on his forehead during the previous advancement appeared again. They flowed to his back and created protrusions.
