The Soultrait Symbols in Michael's palm began to crack. Small white cobweb-like cracks spread across the Soultraits monts before they burst apart, revealing hundreds of SoulStar Fragnts.
Michael didn't hesitate to store all SoulStar Fragnts inside his War Rune before he entered his consciousness.
He ended up in front of the pillar of light and the Sphere of Light, which he inspected for a while. While observing the link between Spirit Gaze and Eagle Eyes Michael felt that the link was oddly stretched out. Spirit Gaze was located in the middle area of the Sphere of Light, while Eagle Eyes was in the Inner area. They felt too far apart and distant from each other.
Feeling that the two Soultraits belonged next to each other, Michael began to use Extraction to remove a few Soultraits from their socket and relocate them to a different position. That was how Spirit Gaze ended up next to Eagle Eyes in the Inner area of the Sphere of Light, while Glacicle was relocated to the middle area.
Positioned right next to each other, Spirit Gaze and Eagle Eyes felt the most natural. It was like they were a part of a set that belonged to each other. It was truly miraculous.
Unfortunately, repositioning a few Soultraits in the Sphere of Light cost 1000 SoulStar Fragnts. The cost was exorbitant, but Michael was certain that he would gain trendously from this slight adjustnt.
Now that Michael had the majority of SoulStar Fragnts obtained from crushing a dozen Soultrait Symbols, he was only left with roughly 3,500 SoulStar Fragnts. He first used 2500 SoulStar Fragnts to form the fifth star on Spirit Gaze's Soultrait Symbol. It was upgraded to a 5-Star Soultrait, which resulted in a huge influx of information.
As he digested the new information about his upgraded Soultrait, Michael used the remaining SoulStar Fragnts in hopes of upgrading Eagle Eyes. Michael had been spending SoulStar Fragnts to upgrade Eagle Eyes every now and then in the past. Therefore, he could only hope that 1109 SoulStar Fragnts were enough to complete Eagle Eyes' fifth star as well.
Several minutes of silence passed until a flood of knowledge and information burst straight into his mind. It was an overwhelming amount of knowledge that caused Michael's head to buzz loudly, but Michael barely felt the pain as his entire being was filled with euphoria.
"Yes!" He exclaid, clenching his fist with a vivid smile on his face.
At so point, Michael began to doubt whether Eagle Eyes could be upgraded today, but it looked like the link between Spirit Gaze and Eagle Eyes created strong stimulations to both Soultrait Symbols. The stimuli affected the creation of Eagle Eyes' fifth star. It allowed the creation to progress faster and even required fewer SoulStar Fragnts than usually required to be upgraded. The small discount was a welco present, sothing Michael actually needed to complete Eagle Eyes' upgrade to a 5-Star Soultrait.
He succeeded in upgrading two 4-Star Soultraits to 5-Star Soultraits in a single go. Michael didn't even rember when he did sothing like this the last ti. In fact, he never did that. His biggest accomplishnt until now was to upgrade Extraction to 6-Star. But now Michael was not only in possession of a 6-Star Soultrait but also five 5-Star Soultraits, two 4-Star Soultraits and one 1-Star Soultrait. That was quite amazing.
The most amazing thing was that the link between Eagle Eyes and Spirit Gaze was strengthened and both the Soultraits grew a lot stronger.
Eagle Eyes' na didn't change but he could see the movents of the Forest Elves and Tiara in his vision even before they actually moved. It was barely visible and caused so mind-splitting headache at first, but Michael quickly realized that he could predict others' movents with much more precision than before. His eyesight was also several tis more precise and sharper than before, and origin energy was visible to him even without having to activate his Soultraits.
Both Spirit Gaze and Eagle Eyes used together allowed him to enhance his eyesight even further, and the precision in detail of objects several hundred ters away from his position was frighteningly accurate. The improvent of his powers surprised him quite a bit, and he couldn't help but test out how powerful his Spirit Disturbance was now that both Eagle Eyes and Spirit Gaze were 5-Star Soultraits and activated at once.
He tested it out at Mika and Lilica before he had to stop his experints. Mika collapsed the mont Spirit Disturbance hit him, while Lilica barely remained conscious. She was visibly struggling and would pose no threat to Michael if he decided to attack her. Lilica would die facing him alone without being able to do anything against him. That realization was terrifying.
Of course, the energy consumption was extrely high, but Michael didn't think of that as a problem. It was quite obvious that such powerful attacks would consu a considerable amount of energy. He would be more confused if he fully unleashed Spirit Disturbance with two 5-Star Soultraits and it would still not consu lots of energy.
After upgrading his Soultraits, Michael was done gearing up. He was ready to attack, and so were the Elental Empress, Tiara, and the Forest Elves.
The first thing Michael did was to give the Elental Empress a lot more Energy Nourishing Pills to consu and strengthen herself. His entire storage of Energy Nourishing Pills was handed to the Elental Empress so that she could recover. Elentals could absorb most energy from the surroundings naturally and digest origin energy rapidly after all.
The Elental Empress would quickly regain her vigor and grow much more powerful. Her natural fire affinity and the fact that she could control most elents to a certain extent would help a lot. It might not be equivalent to a replacent of his army, but her powers were certainly helpful in their conquest. Furthermore, the Elental Empress loathed the Kitsun as well. She would give her utmost to eradicate them.
"The Heavy Armored Elephant returned ho, Sun Demos and his subordinates are still in the northern part of the Kitsun Lord's territory, and Icarus…is here," Tiara inford as a screech filled the surroundings. Icarus and his lovely mate, the green-feathered Greater Eagle shot through the treetop and landed in front of them.
Icarus screeched a few tis. He rubbed his head against Michael's chest and bumped against him afterward before stepping back. The female Greater Eagle only screeched, observing how Icarus showered Michael with affection.
Michael caressed through Icarus' silky smooth plumage absentmindedly. Icarus didn't usually act like that. The Greater Eagle was prideful and wouldn't allow anyone to see him seeking affection from Michael. However, today was different. Today, Icarus could sense that Michael was in a bad mood. Therefore he tried to console Michael.
Michael sighed lightly. His people were dead. Of course, that was shit, and he hated himself a little bit for his stupidity. But then again, Michael knew that he could only try his best to improve from now on. He could apologize to the people who trusted him when he returned to his territory after annihilating the Kitsun Lord. He could tell his people what happened and apologize for betraying their trust. That was the least he could do.
Slapping his cheeks with so force, Michael pulled himself out of the depressive thoughts that tortured his mind. Everything would be fine.
He was left with the Elental Empress, Tiara, the EraldLeaf Adventurer team, two Greater Eagles, the Golden Stinger Wasp, and Sun Demos' Monkey troupe. It was not a lot, but Michael felt that it was more than enough to wreak havoc.
A plan began to form in his mind, an idea to make use of their powers, abilities, and the advantages at their disposal together.
First, Michael sent Sun Demos and his troupe further north to travel to the western side near the borderline to the Kitsun Lord's territory. A mid-sized settlent was located in the Untad Jungle's outer ring. It was located dozens of kiloters away from the main settlent and it was not that well known because it was more of a guard post that had been constructed to locate waves of monsters from up north.
Michael made use of the distance factor and the fact that Sun Demos and the Monkey troupe could travel quickly through the Untad Jungle to initiate a surprise attack. The Kitsun and most other races had issues traveling quickly through the Untad Jungle. Michael and his human Summons would have faced the sa dilemma given that the Untad Jungle was flourishing with thick plants, huge bushes and ginormous trees blocking the view and most paths. However, the canopy bridges created by the Forest Elves, the way they moved through forests and other factors allowed Forest Elves to move in straight lines where others would have to take a detour. It was the sa with the Blood Oath Demon Monkeys.
Fortunately, Michael had an even easier thod to travel; he flew over the Untad Jungle and traveled on Icarus' back above the highest trees to cross dozens of kiloters within a few minutes.
Icarus and his lovely mate were large enough to transport Michael and the others to the settlent they targeted in no ti. They prepared a few things while hiding far enough from the settlent until Sun Demos and his troupe arrived. By then the Golden Stinger Wasp had long since infiltrated the settlent. The monster released its golden energy stingers shooting the strongest Awakened within the settlent before returning to Michael and the rest.
Once the Golden Stinger Wasp was back, it switched places with one of the Kitsun it stung before; an Awakened who'd been having a hard ti in the toilet.
The Golden Stinger Wasp disappeared, replaced by a golden light and a Kitsun with pants down – if he'd any pants, in the first place.
In the next mont, blazing flas engulfed the Kitsun, followed by several razor-sharp blades piercing through the ignorant Kitsun's body.
