"This should be far enough." Reign said before clicking his fingers.
Wolf and Greenie suddenly disappeared from the spot as they were taken inside the base Reign had obtained. It was bound to his soul, and it was currently inside his body. Although it was hard to believe, the base, whose size Reign still did not know, was as small as a grain of sand and it was inside his body.
From what he was able to pry from the AI, Jared, the base would in the future help his body as well, it would also keep him safe thanks to so of its functions, but Reign was still not able to find out what those functions were exactly.
He went inside the base imdiately after Wolf and Greenie. Since he was now the sole owner of the base, he had full control over it. He could change the layout of the base as he wished but did not really feel like there was any reason to do so.
All three of them were imdiately taken to the office on the top of the main building in which the core resided. The young man they had captured previously was there.
Reign had not forgotten about him and had even set him free previously. With his level of power, even if he wanted to do sothing and damage the base, he would be unable to do so. With that in mind, Reign had also left so food and water there for the young man before leaving.
The mont Reign and the others arrived, the young man stared at their location before attacking them. He had believed that a sneak attack would allow him to at least damage Reign or the others, but he was wrong.
His arm was caught by Greenie, who was inside the base for the first ti. Greenie already knew about the young man as Reign had explained things to him before, so he only punched him in the stomach once after catching his arm.
The punch, however, was not a light one for the young man. Although Greenie had only used a bit of force, he was a Tier IV Vajra, a being that has imnse physical strength, above most of the sa realm.
The punch was enough to shake the entire body of the young man and forced him to drop on his knees before vomiting.
"For god's sake Greenie." Reign sighed as he stared at Greenie who had an apologetic face.
"Sorry, I didn't think this much would produce such results."
"Luckily, the storage area, as well as the entire base, ca with a self-cleaning system." Reign said as the vomit on the floor disappeared the mont it touched the floor.
"Hey, let's talk." Reign said after a couple of minutes. He first let the young man gather his thoughts before talking to him, as he didn't want to talk to a person that was vomiting.
"Go to hell." The young man said, albeit with so difficulty.
"Oh co on, don't be like that, I'm trying to help you here."
"Co on, what's your na?" Reign asked the young man who smirked at him.
"Dad."
"Huh?" Reign stared at the young man in confusion as the latter stared at him with a crazed smile.
"My na is Dad, so co on, try calling my na, co on, say it, say hello Dad, hahahahah!" The young man laughed out loud as Wolf and Reign glanced at each other before sighing.
"Well, I see I won't be able to get through to you before removing the seals." Reign said before grabbing the young man by the head.
"What are you doing, you finally going to kill , you bastard?!" The young man asked in a crazed voice as he stared at Reign.
"No, I'm going to show you sothing, sothing you forgot." Reign said before using his soul manipulation and forcing the young man to suddenly scream.
"Oh right, this will be incredibly painful, so bear with , alright?" Reign asked the young man with a smile on his face. The young man barely heard Reign as the pain that was assaulting him was imnse and he was barely able to keep conscious during the entire thing.
As for Reign, he was manipulating the soul and was currently staring at so of the seals the leader had placed inside the young man's body. Most of them would not be a problem for him to remove, but a couple of them were indeed problematic, and it just so happens that those were the first ones he had to remove.
They weren't important for taking over the body and held a different function. They were also the first ones the leader had placed in the young man, only that these were directly placed in his soul, making them incredibly difficult to be removed or altered.
'Hey Aethion, I think I will need so help from you to remove these.' Reign said as Aethion nodded, fully aware of what was happening and staring at the seals.
"Hmmm, these are indeed a bit tricky, to think that man had such a high achievent when it ca to manipulating the soul, it is a sha he didn't pursue the path of a soul mage, he would have definitely been more powerful had he done so."
'Soul mage, you an a mage that only does spells connected to the soul, are they rare?" Reign asked Aethion who nodded his head in confirmation.
"They are counted amongst the rare classes in the universe, after all, soul mages have a relatively big advantage early on, especially during the leveling realm where most do not have a good answer to soul-based attacks."
"Of course, their biggest weakness is the lack of killing options, after all, rely attacking one's soul will not kill them quickly, and without a powerful soul and skills, a soul mage is mostly good in groups and is not that powerful when faced alone."
"There are so that beco incredibly powerful from the get-go, like the man that placed these seals, for example, he has attained quite a good level in soul manipulation to be able to do this."
'Hey, how do you even know so much anyway?' Reign suddenly asked Aethion who simply stared at him.
"I'm, well, I was a necromancer, and we do dabble a lot in soul manipulation, you know?"
'Oh, I didn't know that.'
"Of course you didn't."
"In order to successfully raise undead, one does not need to have any proficiency in soul manipulation, but if one wants to summon more powerful undead minions, then they need to be proficient in it as you also need souls in order to have the stronger undead, not to ntion that it is not only mana that is used to raise undead but soul power as well."
'Ah, I see, so, you can definitely help get rid of these seals, right?' Reign asked Aethion with a smile on his face, which prompted the latter to nod and show a confident expression.
"Of course, this is nothing much, even though that man had placed so good seals to change his soul and mories, they are just there to block a part of them and show fake ones, we need to be careful, but it won't be a big issue to get rid of them, just follow my instructions and you'll be fine."
'Oh, you don't want to allow you to take control and do it yourself?'
"No need, this is not that difficult, you should do it yourself, you will gain so valuable experience with soul manipulation by doing it as well."
'Ah, alright then, just … just tell when to start, and how to proceed.' Reign said as he turned completely serious.
He knew that even though Aethion said this is not that difficult, he ant not difficult for him, a Transcendent, as for Reign, he was still a newbie when it ca to soul manipulation, and even though being a Nephilim allowed him to manipulate souls to an incredible extend as if he had been doing so for a long ti, he still didn't have that much experience when doing that.
"Alright, first, manipulate your soul and try to make it into a thin thread before going for the first seal, it's the one on the right, with the yellow tint on the edges," Aethion said while Reign nodded and did exactly as he was told.
"As you can see, this seal is created and used as a foundation for the rest, without it, they will grow a bit weaker, but with it still there, it will be much harder to break them since this seal will reinforce them with the others, so it is a must to take care of it first, it is also the most difficult one to dispel, so we need to proceed carefully."
"You see the six symbols in it, each one representing a different shape?"
'Yeah.'
"You first need to get to them, slowly move the thread between the layers before reaching the ball-shaped symbol, do not forget to keep the rest of the thread the sa and have it follow the sa path, one small divergence and you can set it off and the seal will try to force you out."
Reign nodded as a bead of sweat fell from the tip of his nose before doing as he was told. He continued listening to Aethion and doing everything the old man was telling him to do with incredible focus.
