Keiran spent a couple of minutes looking at Adolf's corpse, he was wary of the absurd regeneration ability that the latter possessed, he thought that the moment he turned around Adolf would get up and attack him from behind but he realized that he was wrong, the vitality had disappeared and there was no sign that his organs were still working, he had truly died.
With firm steps Keiran walked away but it was at this moment that he felt a great chill run down his entire spine, he quickly turned around as the distance increased and there he could see him, Adolf's lifeless body was actually being rebuilt.
All back before being decapitated, it was like watching a movie in reverse but it didn't end there, a fine black mist was expelled from his body that covered certain parts of his body including the upper part of his body, leaving only his visible lips that they formed a creepy smile that went from ear to ear.
His muscles twitched as the sound of bones being destroyed and rebuilt could be heard, his height and complexion changed, his skin and hair became whiter like a corpse, his body changed in a strange and eerie way. incompressible.
[Warning! Warning!]
[User's body has been taken over by an unknown existence, security measures will be implemented]
[Error... The user has granted his permission to the unknown existence to control his body, security measures will not be implemented]
Now Keiran held his sword charged with pale blue thunder while maintaining a defensive stance, even if now he is just a shadow of the past he still maintains certain traits of what he once was, in this case it would be his highly refined instincts over years of life and death struggle, those instincts screamed danger, to get out of that place as quickly as possible without looking back but he couldn't do it, he was the embodiment of the true Keiran's last wish, it was the desire to protect this door even after of death.
Adolf's body continued to change, wounds bloomed on his body like flowers in spring, his previously 1.80 meter body shrank down to 1.70 meters, his muscular body became slimmer, his limbs became long and slender at the same time. time his hair grew longer and longer before falling out completely and repeating the process.
[The Gods look at you in confusion]
[The Gods don't know what's happening]
[The [Ruler of the Underworld] asks that you take your hands off what is his]
[The [Light of Eternal Glory] watches you with confused eyes unable to process what is happening]
In the end, after a few minutes, the change was finally over and the current Adolf was totally different from the past Adolf. When a soul took over a body, it took the shape of the body since it was the most practical and simple thing to do, but there were exceptions. , when a soul was too powerful for a body, the latter changed to adapt to the soul that inhabited it.
"Come on, let's get this over with."
Not only had his body changed but now his voice had also become higher pitched and along with his new appearance made him look ambiguous.
Keiran waited for the moment in which "Adolf" will attack to act accordingly but something happened that made the remaining fragments of his soul tremble uncontrollably, in an instant without any warning "Adolf" had disappeared from his sight and senses, while he was looking around He felt a hand on his neck, the hands slowly placed their fingers on him before approaching his ear and with a low voice he pronounced.
"Not bad, I'm serious, you're not bad for an ant."
With those words Keiran fell inert to the cold ground, "Adolf" looked at him for a few moments before falling unconscious.

In a quiet place that existence opened its eyes, the beautiful landscape that represented calm completely changed to a chaotic one and the howls resounded like music in a theater, in a moment someone arrived in front of that existence.
His body was incredibly muscular that was disgusting, he had a vaguely human body but with the head and legs of a goat, his great horns caused terror while his red eyes would paralyze you with fear.
"My lady".
Existence looked at him without any expression and asked with a monotonous voice.
"You wonder why I took him as my husband despite being a lower existence, don't you?"
"It is correct, my lady, this slave does not understand the reason behind his actions."
The existence did not answer his question with an answer but instead with another question.
"Do you know the difference between a favored being and a loved one?"
"No, I don't know the difference my lady, please enlighten my ignorance."
"In this universe there are different types of elements that are divided into three categories, the primordial, the celestial and the earthly. Every existence in this vast universe will possess an affinity with one of the elements and in very rare cases there will be someone who is favored by an element, but they will never succeed no matter how hard they try to make said element completely follow their will."
The existence paused for a few moments before continuing.
"But... there are exceptions to the rule, in very rare cases someone loved by an element will be born, said element will take care of them and support them no matter what, they will be the masters and rulers of their element, they are so rare that even if you search for thousands of years from planet to planet you may never meet one."
"My lady means...".
"Yes, that nether existence is loved by the nether, I can be favored by the nether but if I faced it on equal terms I would die without resisting."
The goat-headed being was startled and with great fear asked.
"That's true?".
"Do you think I would lie with something like this? He is the person the nether loved so if we both battled using said item he would win no matter what, the reason behind it is quite simple, his body and soul are totally immune to the nether".
"Impossible!".
Shouted the being with the head of goats, he knew that elemental immunity was impossible, no matter how much they tried the maximum was an elemental resistance of around 90-99% being exaggerated, but no matter that there will never be someone with 100% resistance elementary.
"That's what he believed, but when I had his body I noticed that he was immune to the nether so logically his soul is also immune."
"That... that means..."
"That's right, he can come and claim the throne of the nether god if he wants to and he would be considered one of the few primordial gods."
"My lady, if he poses such a threat why is he keeping you alive...?"
"Easy, I want to snatch the position of being loved by the nether, that's why I did what I did since that way he would start to trust me, I just have to read his memories and use some tricks for the very stupid one to accept, now I just have to wait patiently as I make him dependent on me, only then can I claim what belongs to him for me".
He said the existence with an expression of absolute madness, his features were deformed while he smiled from ear to ear and his eyes formed two half moons.

Adolf woke up with great pain throughout his body, when he tried to use his legs to get up instead of what he wanted to do, he actually crashed to the ground with a hard blow, with a frown Adolf this time added his hands to avoid fall again and with some difficulty he succeeded.
Already standing up he noticed that he had several system messages that he immediately proceeded to read.
[Your body has been modified by an unknown existence, it may take time for the user to get used to the change]
[Your aura has changed from neutral to devil aura, congratulations on joining the path of Devils]
[You have obtained abilities corresponding to the way of the devil]
[You have been killed and revived by an unknown factor, the title [Wandering Soul] has been obtained]
After reading the system messages Adolf started to remember but the more he remembered the more ugly and distorted his expression became.
'What the hell did that bitch do to me, the more I think about it, the stranger it is that she will accept everything she proposed to me without further ado, it was just like when she took drugs that that bitch gave me.'
In the end Adolf tried to walk but he was failing horribly as he was unable to control his strength, at this moment for some reason Adolf was using more force than he should for what he wanted to do, it was like holding an egg between a hydraulic press, just absurd.
But in the end, after a couple of hours, Adolf managed to move with relative ease, looking to the side he could see Keiran's lifeless body as well as the loose fragments of his sword lying on the ground, with a look of resignation he began to pick up fragments. per fragment before returning it to its sheath.
By the time the sun had almost set and Adolf's work was still not done, he placed Keiran on his back as he brought the sword between his teeth.

Rhyfel's knights were anxious, several hours after Adolf left to face Sir Keiran they had felt that his connection with the necromancer had been severed to be restored shortly after, they did not know what had happened but it could not be. nothing good.
Time passed and Adolf gave no signs of life, even more worrying was when they saw Keiran's sword technique...
But when his worries peaked on the horizon they could see a person walking towards them, they could easily recognize him as it was Adolf, when he arrived in front of them they noticed several things like Adolf's change and that he was carrying the lifeless body of Sir Keiran on his back.
In the end, Adolf asked him to save the body so that he could revive it later, since now he himself wanted to rest.
Upon returning to his "home" Adolf dropped to the ground, he felt mentally tired as his body was recovering from fatigue to an absurd level, after thinking about it he approached a piece of polished iron that he had found to see his reflection.
He could see that his hair had changed to a white color, as if he had aged several decades all at once, passing by his face had changed, he had become smaller and his features were ambiguous, although he was still a man now it was not entirely clear, but that didn't mean that she looked like a woman at all, it was a strange appearance.
Then there was his body that had lost its defined muscles and had gained a leaner complexion but Adolf noticed something, although he seemed weaker his strength remained the same what changed was his flexibility increased, now he could contort and move his body in directions that I couldn't before.
What he also noticed was that his height decreased by 10 centimeters but he couldn't find any reason.
While I couldn't care less about my appearance, my body has changed for the better, Adolf thought with a slight smile.
With a somewhat confused expression, he saved the best for last.

Adolf wanted to see how the [Devil's Aura] worked and activated it, when this happened a purple aura came out of his body but other than that Adolf didn't feel any change, in the end he deactivated it since it was consuming too much mana, he might as well think on how the ability works tomorrow morning.
After a long day he went to sleep, since that was his deserved reward.

In an unknown place, inside what looked like an elegant Victorian-era basement, five people were gathered, they all wore different types of armor and carried different types of weapons, in total there were two women, two men and the last one was completely covered by a hood avoiding revealing his identity.
"Then why did you call us?"
Asked one of the two men while he looked arrogantly at a golden haired woman.
"Something important has happened that could affect us all in an unknown future."
"Speak for yourself, me and my men are not easy prey compared to your subordinates."
The man responded with great arrogance, the woman did not seem to be affected by his words and continued to maintain a serene expression, the other people only looked from the side as if this were their daily bread.
"Someone from the Devil's path has appeared, and it seems to be a summoned like us."
