The next dawn, I sat at the edge of the stone pillar.
Cassie looked away from me, pouting angrily wearing the black shroud of [Tyrants Shroud].
I don't know why but she was very resistant to taking and wearing that memory. She was insistent on staying naked for our journey.
And I don't know why, but she just din't shut her mouth last night. I doubt Nephis got even a hint of sleep.
I looked at her, dark circles sinking her eyes and hair messy.
Um...I think she didn't get any sleep.
[No shit! Sherlock.]
'Can you stop using these old war realm phrases? What do you call them again? Mame's? no I think Mam's.'
[It's 'memes', And these are the only War Realm materials that are actually fun, beside P0rn0graphy and Video Games.]
'Can you stop now? I don't know what these are but I want to focus on my wife.'
[P0rn0graphy is just a lot of prostitutes making their body freely available to the whole world.]
'Oh God! I thought Prostitution was bad, but what you said is even worse. But wait?? You call this fun?!'
[Video Games are similar to the Nightmares. It is a fictional story-line that can be immersed by the people who call their community as 'Gamers'.]
[I also played some Video Games before they stopped making good ones and went to war with each other. Bunch of Mongrels!]
[I would've refrained from devouring War Realm if they kept producing more Video Games.]
'Why do you say that?' I asked, confused. Can she really postpone devouring the Forgotten One just for some fantasy games?
[Because those Video Games were giving me ideas for the Seventh Nightmare. One Game called 'Minecraft' alone has trapped the Forgotten One for a thousand years.]
[Not only that, this game was used to kill a god of immense knowledge who tried to invade the waking world by a smart mortal without any supernatural powers. That being was called the 'King in Yellow'.]
'What?! How is that possible?!!' I asked in disbelief.
'Are you saying I could've tried doing just that if those war mongrels just stayed peaceful?!' I asked, anger rising in my heart.
[Exactly. Even if you failed, I still could've sealed him in that fantasy world without any trouble until you reach the divine realm. They only increased my workload.]
'Stupid Mongrels!!' I cursed those kings and leaders who wages war among themselves. Those Motherfuckers are too tired of peace.
"Hey? Sunny? Why are you dozing off all of a sudden? And why do you look so aggrieved?" Nephis suddenly asked.
"oh? Huh? Nothing! Let's move quickly." I excused.
Cassie clung on my back, still pouting, but her hands moved on and on my body muscles and squeezed greedily.
I was unaware that Nephis was looking at her with jealousy in her eyes.
Ignoring the uncomfortable touches from her, we walked towards the west.
At night, we climbed up on another tall peak.
The two to three days passes with following the same routine. We killed the Nightmare creatures, collected the soul shards and distributed them to Nephis and Cassie since they are useless to me.
Another day, it was a storm and we killed an Awakened Devil and got the [Starlight Legion Armor] and Nephis got it along with the soul shards.(I forgot it's rank. I remember it was like a grasshopper or something.)
Nephis gave her own armor memory to Cassie and Cassie returned my [Tyrants Shroud] to me. We stayed there for two days and Cassie refused to shut up at night.
I was surprised how Nephis could perform normally even as her face looked more and more haggard each day.
At last, we were finally close to that red tree. That is my last hope for now.
Since soul fruits from soul devourer tree could saturate both Soul cores and Shadow cores, I am hoping it could also saturate my divine core.
If it turns out to be true, I am getting a few thousand of my own personal Zero-tick Automatic Soul Fruit Farms in my future domain.
But we need to deal with that Fallen Demon first. That Carapace Centurion, feels oddly familiar. I think I killed it twice before, but I only remember doing it once.
Anyway, I sent the Temple Guardian, completely invisible to distract it and fight it, so we can reach that tree first and help the guardian later.
I kicked Auro in the back before retrieving him back to my soul sea. I will abuse the shit out of of his hallowed body.
The two Fallen Demons fought each other while the three of us quickly sneaked up the crimson tree.
I am not worried that I might fall for it's mind hex, I am immune to any mind attacks below the supreme rank. Because my will is blocking them down.
I think I need to make a storage memory myself. I was hoping to receive one, but My luck doesn't seem that good.
Soon enough, We killed the Fallen Centurion and received a spire key: Dawn Shard.
I finally got a sword. I won't have to hunt creatures with hands anymore.
The two girls with me also somehow resisted the Mind Hex. I kept working on my storage memory with one of the Ascendant Shards from the centurion.
It took me a month with the short essence reserves I have with zero progress in saturation.
As for why I am doing this? I am not taking the risk of eating the Soul Fruit right below the soul devouring tree. I will strip it of all of it's fruits and go to the Dark Castle before eating them.
That way, even if they don't work on me, I can give them to Cassie and Nephis.
After finishing with the memory, I climbed up the tree and began to collect the soul fruits.
Suddenly, I noticed a nest at the top of the tree.
I curiously climbed up and stepped on the nest, looking at the egg with horror in my heart.
"What the fuck is this doing here?!!"
