Chapter 15: Compensation
Shuzenar held a purple orb in his hand, and in the sphere, a dark green soul was struggling, but no matter how powerful he was, he could not break through the confinement of the soul crystal with only his soul left.
Killing a demon may have been easy, but he had died countless times in his quest to destroy the Guardian, but each time he managed to escape, was resurrected in the altar of the Twisted Void, and eventually grew into a leader of the Legion. But when he fell into a deep sleep, this escape turned into a luxury. Defenseless, his soul was imprisoned by Shuzenar with a soul crystal.
Whispers of Darkness, one of Nasrezm's natural abilities. Every Nasrezm language has a psychic power attached to it, strong or weak, that acts directly on the target's soul, and among the Nasrezm themselves, this power can only be counted as a means of facilitating communication, but for those foreigners whose mental defenses are weak and are not accustomed to such whispering, it is a hypnotic curse. On more than one occasion, Nasrezm has used this power to participate in conspiracy, allowing suspicion and chaos to permeate the formerly orderly realms......
Thanks to the strength of his soul, Shuzenar's talent for dark whispering is considered good among his kind. Although there is no way to hypnotize the Doom Guardian at the beginning of the battle, when the target's spirit is weakened after a high level of concentration, Shuzenar is able to control him in an instant. Although this hypnotized state will wake up with a light blow, it is enough for Shuzenar to complete the chanting of the soul crystal spell and complete the capture of the soul.
"Who else is ready to be next?"
Shuzenar looked around at the demon guards around him, who were not nominally under his control, but he had no intention of letting them go.
The Demon Guardians looked at each other and took a few steps back.
A demon guard with a Cerberus on his hand stepped out, and he looked at the body of the Doom Guard lying on the ground, and then at Shuzenar, but with the lesson of the Doom Guard, he immediately looked away and kept his distance from Shuzenar.
"I'm Shepherd Zasnano, one of the cadres of the 226th Band, and as your colleague, Achilles Morrow's subordinate, I think we can talk to you. β
"Achilles Moreau, of course, he is my esteemed brother, and he gave me this ship. I have no doubts about your subordination to him, but this stupid Doom Guardian must pay for my offenseβ" Shuzenar squeezed it hard, and the soul in the soul crystal was struck by several purple lightning bolts, even if these currents were extremely weak, but hitting the soul would make it feel extreme pain.
"This ...... Allow me to ask our master, I-"
"No need, I'm already here. Looks like you've disciplined one of my unreliable subordinates, young brother. β
"Is that your order, Achilles?"
A portal opened in front of Shuzenar, but it was a little small, and only the upper body of Nasrezm on the opposite side could be seen, Achilles Moro didn't mean to come out, "You did a good job, because of his stupidity, I have no reason to let him out, but the strength of the 226 Wargroup is still very important, this Destruction Guard, Moritatos can be handed over to you to dispose of, but the 226 Wargroup you need to return it to me." β
"Why didn't you finish the dispatch sooner and give me the ship, it's boring, this ship and everything on it should be mine. β
"Hahaha...... Do you think so, brother, many times, we are just a commander, and the ship fleet and the army are the property of the Legion, and only then will the Legion allow us to meddle in more armies...... Well~ What kind of expression do you have, of course, this spaceship belongs to you, brother. 226 is still here for my mistake, and I will give you 4400 units of Void Crystals as compensation for taking these demons away. You can use them to recruit your own troops. β
Achilles Morrow transferred four large crystal clusters from his spatial warehouse to Shuzenar's warehouse, summoned another portal, and left with his troops, which could lead to other ships. There were only two or three demons left on the spaceship...... Well, about a few hundred, not that few, but it's very thin compared to this empty space.
Shuzenar's eyes narrowed.
Shuzenar took out a palm-sized Void Crystal, which could be converted into 100 regular small Void Crystals, or 10,000 Void Crystal fragments.
What is this thing for demons?
Schuzenar looked at the crystal, broke a little from it, and tasted it.
Melted......
It's a bit like sucrose, but there's a warm current when you take it. Shuzenar stuffed the crystal into his mouth, and the crystal slowly melted, turning into something similar to mana, which was mixed into Shuzenar's mana, and even made up for the life force consumed by Xuzenar before.
Schuzenar discovered the first use of crystals, which, under certain conditions, could replenish mana and life force.
Then, Shuzenar used mana enhancement and felt that the energy crystallized was flowing with mana, increasing the strength of mana to a certain extent. In the process of consuming these energies, the carrying capacity of Shuzenar will gradually increase, and the upper limit of mana will be increased by a very small amount.
With these few points alone, this is definitely good stuff.
Schuzenar had searched for information on the Void Crystal from the knowledge of skull absorption. The crystals were also found to extract essence, which can be used in the creation of epic and artifact-level weaponry, as well as as a catalyst for fuel, increasing the efficiency and stability of ship jumps, which is indispensable for those giant ships.
This crystal is one of the general equivalents of the Legion, and has a great attraction to weak demons.
Yes, this crystal also has a very important role, which is the promotion of low-level demons. For cannon fodder-level demons, it doesn't take much Void Crystals to advance them to ordinary demons, and a sufficient amount of Void Crystals can help ordinary demons be promoted to elite demons, although they can't change the demon's race, but they can awaken more talents of the race. For elite demons, the power of crystals is no longer enough to make them promoted, but the actions of manufacturing equipment and recruiting subordinates are the majority of consuming Void crystals, and for most demons, the more crystals, the better.
Three units of Void Crystals can be exchanged for about 100 units of Evil Energy Crystals, which is also a higher level as a general equivalent, but it is not as rare and special as the crystals produced on some planets. Agunite from Argus and Nasdor from Nasresa are rare items that are worth more than Void Crystals.
4400 units...... What can be done?
