Chapter 275 - 275. Soul devourer

Looking over a bunch of people running around and trying to pull out the ones that were hurt Kendra just shook her head. Before she would have rushed to help them, but now after living for a while in this world, she knew how to make choices. It was their stupid choice to build that strange construction.

With a wave of the hand, she started gathering clouds in the sky and a huge storm started making people scared. Illo rose his head and saw a terrifying sight. Black storm clouds started appearing beyond the sea line and rushing towards them.

He already had a problem controlling people so far as there were so many problems he didn't consider while gathering people as his army. Just while ago his situation became worse as many got hurt or died after that construction failed and now this storm...

He rushed to make orders but when he saw a crowd running around he knew everything was lost. He slumped to the floor and with glassy eyes stared at the people rushing round in fear. When the fist wind hit him something strange happened to him. He felt something inside his skin itching.

But when he by chance looked up he saw many of people standing on one spot and scratching their skin. He could even hear their screams. ''Itchy, so itchy!''

As blood started flowing out on people's bodies strange wounds started appearing and worms crawled out. Not one or two, a whole army of worms were coming under the skin. Many fainted when they saw the disgusting sight.

''What... is... this?!'' Illo stared at huge worms crawling under his skin making him feel nauseous. He turned around and started puking. When he looked at his arm where the worms crawled out, he could see the worms slowly dropping to the floor and dying a sit seems in huge pain.

''This is monstrous.'' He stepped back and suddenly felt again urge to puke. The moment he opened his mouth he could see what he puked and wished he wasn't cultivator to fall into blissful unconsciousness. Inside his puke few dozen of such creatures, squirmed and slowly died one by one.

He turned around and suddenly there was silence. ''Do you want to become strong and be able to fight all of them even outside the world, you need to accept the creatures inside. Only that way here is your chance to survive everything. There is no other option for you. The power you own is maybe strong inside your own sect but if you would fight any other sect, your own will be swallowed. What you have to do is ahhhhhhhhhhhh...''

The scream in his head suddenly made him wake up as one of the females he held deep in the heart and protected all the time suddenly levitated and started screaming from deep inside her soul. ''Help me Illo, help me!'' Suddenly voice changed and multiple voices could be heard. ''Help us!''

He rose his hand towards her but all he could so is her body being covered with hundreds, then thousands of those creatures and finally a black smoke rose from her body and what has left turned into dust.

The dark shadow looked in a certain direction and yelled. ''You won't be able to fight us all, you will die like others ahahahahaha.''

But the voice he heard before answered calmly. ''You are mistaken. Why should I fight you? I will turn into something that will make creatures like you feel fear finally. What if I become soul devourer. Your energy will be my feed and with the energy I gain from devouring your kind I will become a new life form. Something none of you ever met.''

The creature started laughing but suddenly stopped. In front of Illo's eyes, a young girl with red hair and red eyes appeared and smiled beautifully. Slowly floating fearlessly towards the creature she grabbed a bit of its being and neared it towards her mouth. Suddenly loud screech could be heard as she slowly chewed on in. 

The dark creature screeched so loud that it made him dizzy and finally all welcoming unconsciousness came as he collapsed on the floor with a frozen expression on his face.

Kendra rose her hand and all the creatures inside the bodies on the floor crawled out them and died as soon they left their bodies. She looked around and sighed. ''Waste of life force. I do not care if the life force is an insect or even something more disgusting, but wasting life force to create something and then use it to harm conscious forces is what I hate most. Poor creatures. Even tho I do like eating meat but I never kill for fun. This world was made to become a happy place. I will leave it that way.''

She suddenly rose into the air and started talking as her words reverberated all over the realm. ''Ladies and gentlemen, dear cultivators. Outside we have a problem. A big war is about to start and our tasks here will be finished for those that ended their tasks with all appropriate gifts. To those that are not done ... they can choose to go out and help their sect, or stay here until the war ends. To all pregnant females, I recommend to stay here. Families with children as well. The war outside will be deadly for your children. Your choice after all.''

Suddenly Taskmaster appeared near her and announced on loudly as well. ''To all those that choose to go out please voice out. Your guilds, sects and clans have arrived. Those that can come out will be noticed and given a choice. We can let you out again first after the war ends. Not before that. But we have no idea how long the war will last.''

He turned his head and patted her head. ''We found them still unconscious and you were right, they were implanted internal darkness inside. Father is trying to get the darkness outside. If anyone can help them, only he can. Don't worry. Your powers...''

Kendra nodded. ''The last time I broke trough many boundaries at the same time and almost destroyed myself. Luckily my people helped me or I would have been able to be here.'' She looked gratefully towards her village and a happy smile finally appeared on her lips.
