Chapter 601 - Kentuck's Soul Power

"Wait a second! Are you going to use these people's souls for such a thing?"

Roan snorted after hearing that question.

"Obviously. Can't you see? They're as good as dead. Their souls are locked by the diagram, leaving them all in this vegetative state. I don't know about you, but these people are as good as dead in front of me."

"This..."

Rean sighed after hearing that but had to agree with Roan.

"He isn't wrong. If you want, you can check it yourselves. These people will never wake up again. The diagram and their souls might as well be considered the same thing. They were modified to become Bloodline Marks, so their bodies are nothing more than vessels used to hold the soul until a proper user appears. I'm pretty sure that even if I remove the diagram somehow, they won't wake up. Even if they do, their soul will probably be so damaged that they'd turn into vegetables."

Calina still shook her head as she said.

"But this is wrong! These are human souls!"

Roan found Calina's way of thinking funny, saying.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

"Ha! What a joke. Tell me, then. How many people have you killed until now? They all have souls, and they disappeared because of you. Worst of all, unlike these people here, those you killed didn't help you with anything whatsoever. Well, perhaps they helped you with your training, but that's about it."

Calina was taken aback.

"I..."

Roan then continued.

"What? Do you think the situation's different because these people aren't your enemies?"

Calina subconsciously nodded.

"Naive! Sure, they aren't your enemies, but they aren't your friends either. I will tell you the two things that will happen here."

"Number one, we use them to make our Bloodline Marks if possible."

"Number two, we leave them here, and they will become some Zasfin's Bloodline Mark in the future."

"Alright, then. Choose."

Roan was as harsh as ever.

Rean, on the other hand, took a milder approach, as he explained.

"What the ice block means is that if it was possible to save them, we would try it already. However, there's already no hope for them anymore. In a certain way, their sacrifices will at least help other humans, us."

Agis took a deep breath as he looked at all these sacrifices. Eventually, he nodded as well.

There were a few symbols on the walls, showing that one must touch their foreheads with the humans on the wall. They tried to do as the images shown, but nothing happened in the end.

Everyone became silent at that moment. It was not like they received any explanation before coming here.

Roan pondered for a bit before looking at Kentucky.

"Hey, chicken. Come here."

*Chick?*

"Use some of the altar's Soul Power on my body."

Rean and the others were taken aback.

"Kentucky can use Soul Power?"

Not long after though, Rean immediately understood what was happening, explaining to the others.

"No, he can't. However, he still hasn't finished digesting the altar's material. That said, there's still some Soul Power present in it. It's a good idea to use Kentucky to redirect that Soul Power out of his body. It might work."

Kentucky didn't understand very well what Roan wanted, though. Kentucky was definitely a lot more intelligent than other Demon Beasts at his level. However, his intelligence wasn't at the level of a human yet.

However, it wasn't a problem. As Kentucky's masters, the twins could use their Spiritual Sense to convene their meaning to Kentucky. It wasn't perfect, but it should suffice for Kentucky to understand what they wanted. They did that many times in the past, so it wasn't anything difficult.

*Chick!*

Sure enough, Kentucky received Rean's Spiritual Sense and nodded in response. Soon after, Kentucky concentrated on that strange power coming out of the food in his belly. That power passed through his meridians until it finally manifested on his wings. Before Kentucky touched the diagrams, Roan touched his forehead with the man in front of him. After that, Kentucky channeled that bit of Soul Power into Roan, who also used his Spiritual Sense to guide it into the diagram on the ground and the diagram on the man's forehead.

As soon as that happened, the two diagrams activated, shining brightly.

Rean and the others' eyes lit up.

"It worked! Shall we wait and see what will happen with Roan?"

Rean shook his head.

"We already wasted a lot more time than we should have. We don't know when Frandin and the other guy will finish their own trial, so we should hurry. Don't worry, I told Sister Orb to throw us all inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm if someone appears. Of course, if you're afraid, I won't force any of you. We don't know what might happen, after all. It's up to you if you wish to go ahead with it or not."

Everyone nodded. Rean's group still didn't know how long they would be safe in this place or not. In the end, they all decided to try it out.

Rean then convened his intentions to Kentucky through the Spiritual Sense. Following that, Kentucky channeled that little Soul Power he had into everyone's body. Sure enough, the diagrams lit up for everyone as well.

Following that, the room became silent. Neither one of their group moved anymore. It was as if they had fallen into the same sleeping state as the people locked on the walls.

*Chick?*

Seeing how everyone suddenly stopped moving puzzled Kentucky. However, he quickly ignored that as he looked at a woman on the walls. As mentioned before, all these humans were naked, so Kentucky could see everything. His eyes lit up as he looked at the woman's big breasts as he happily made his way to her.

Sure enough, the bird was as perverted as ever. He quickly began to rub against the girl without paying attention to the Soul Power still emanating out of his body. Such happiness could be seen on his face. However, his forehead touched the woman's forehead at some point. Both diagrams activated before Kentucky also fell into the same sleeping state as everyone else.
