The news of House of Light's Demon Soul Purification Altar being able to now produce an Essence Soul that can be used as an alternative for Demon Lord Souls surprised everyone.
The announcement was made a week after Cedric's first meeting with Charles Makarov.
The House of Light posted a full disclosure of how Greater Essence Souls worked in their public online account for everyone to read. It even included their partnership with the Lifestyle Guild to make this all possible.
Of course, the very first people to be notified about this were the soldiers. On the very same day that Cedric made the update, Gabriel already received a prioritized demand from the army for the new installment for the altar.
