Chereads / Soul of Darkness / Chapter 14 - 14

Chapter 14 - 14

I looked around and I was surprised to find this place was an immense cave.

It looked like the planet's surface but strangely this place was deep beneath the surface.

Looking at the green color of the plant questions arose as to how they managed to flourish in such an environment.

A shining stone attracted my attention and I went over to check.

It had a white glow and there were many more on the ceiling.

Emiting warmth and light similar to the sun.

I looked over the plains and noticed some buildings in the distance.

As I flew over several energy signals could be felt from this place.

As soon as I got above the small camp creatures looked up with curious gazes and stared at my body.

Their bodies resembled humans, but they had long ears, taller stature, and white hair that dominated the people.

They had handsome features and the females all looked better than the average human female.

With a flicker, I appeared beside them and used my aura to block any movements.

Panicked expressions could be seen in their eyes as I picked a random person and instantly devoured their soul.

At my current level of power such thing as purifying the soul took less than a second.

Memories surged in my head as a lot of information was supplied by the soul I absorbed.

It turns out that these people have a significantly longer lifespan than humans, and that they are the first generation that the planet's core made after gaining consciousness.

The planet should have the intelligence of a child at the current time and it should evolve in approximately a hundred thousand years.

I decided it was best I made some corrections to this lifeform's composition.

Since they were very young and had very little life experience and low technological advancement it was necessary for me as a senior to teach them the ways of life.

With a righteous expression, the man looked towards the unmoving people, or should he say elves?

A mocking glint flashed in his eyes as he waved his hand.

...

20 years passed

In the middle of an underground cave that might as well be as big as the surface of the planet.

A collection of wooden houses were placed surrounding a magnificent stone castle.

Dark-colored runes could be seen on the castle walls.

A bloodthirsty aura surrounded the whole building as not many dared to come into the vicinity of the castle.

Inside the castle, about 4 people were seated on chairs and were carefully writing symbols on pieces of paper.

Sweat trickled down their foreheads as they softly held a pen in one hand and slowly motioned on the paper.

Besides them, there was no one in the room but the people, two females, and two males were not daring to slack for a single second.

They knew that their master was always watching and if they dared to laze for even a second...

The memories of scalding iron that made contact with their skin made them become even more focused on their tasks.

Besides the surface, the castle also had numerous layers of underground levels that were as large as 10 football fields.

On an underground level, a group of 5 people was continuously casting spells and each time they got tired, they popped a small pill and in the next second a huge life force began covering their bodies, restoring the lost energy and giving the equivalent amount of rest a whole month of sleep would.

...

600 years passed and I went up to level 210.

With a step, I arrived in the underground castle and began checking upon my disciple's progress.

Some years ago I decided that I wanted to make this planet one of my bases and began making the natives my servants.

I wasn't about to teach them how to meditate properly so I made them a training manual with 4 tiers.
