As long as their continue to increase, he would definitely feel a lot safer, not to mention he felt that his cultivation got more faster as their speed of absorbing spirit Qi in the air increases, he couldn't wait to see what would happen if they ingest large amount of Mana.
He then opens his eyes and stretches for a bit as he felt his body filled with energy, after his wanton devouring he knew that his body is now full of chaos Qi, too bad there isn't much spirit Qi in the air, if it had he would definitely use this opportunity to breakthrough to the next cultivation realm.
When he got out he saw that the gloomy island is now a bit brighter, he knew that the scarabs were responsible for this, since they aren't able to advance to Saint Realm, they use all of their energy to cultivate the devouring rune on their body and soul.
The Corpse Eating Scarabs were also traveling together with their offspring and because of this none of them died from the corrosion of chaos Qi.
For the Ancient Jewel Scarabs they started planting themselves into the ground and we're slowly absorbing the chaos Qi in the surrounding, this is an experiment if they are able to evolved into a much higher kind of Primordial Rune Scarabs just like the Lunar and Solar Rune Scarabs.
Shadowslash actually wanted to create a barrier that functions just like exactly the barrier he put on Beast Continent but because of his injuries and all the requirements wasn't present he wouldn't be able to fix the infected island quickly.
He could only take it one step at a time, he then stood up and flew towards the direction where the prisoners were located, because Hentai was able to use his spiritual sense to its full strength with the help of Chaos and Harmony, it was able to command the scarabs in a much more efficient level.
The scarabs were working overtime as guards, healer and scouts because of this the entire island is filled with buzzing noises.
Shadowslash quickly arrives at the location where the chaos knights kept the prisoners, just like back on Defender Kingdom, the people here have been treated poorly.
He looks at the people moving a soulless manner and let's out a cough that rang throughout the entire dead volcano, when the prisoners heard his cough their head seems to rang with buzzing noises.
The prisoners looks at him in a rather blank gaze, Shadowslash knew that they still hadn't realised that he had killed the chaos knights that were imprisoning him.
He could only announce his presence "Everyone! Listen up! I am Shadowslash, the ruler of Thousand Race Kingdom, I am here to rescue all of you, do not need to worry, I have taken care of all the invaders."
The people immediately brightens up but after a couple of seconds they shook their head and spoke, they only sighed and continue with their work.
Shadowslash was stunned, he had never thought this would be the reaction of the prisoners, he became confused, he then flashes and appears on one of the prisoners and looks at him directly.
The prisoner doesn't want to raise his head but he doesn't know why but he felt enticed to look up and looks at Shadowslash's eyes.
He was instantly submerged into an illusion and became a loyal servant to Shadowslash.
Shadowslash doesn't want to use this method but he wanted to know the thoughts of the prisoners directly in the most quickest way.
"Tell me why aren't you happy when you heard the news that you are now free?" He asks in confusion.
The prisoner answer in a wooden manner "This had happened to use more than three times now, the first is one of the fighters of this island manage to arrive here and brought many of our brothers and sisters out."
"We hadn't thought that this was actually a deliberated done by the invaders and sent a couple of their beasts to chase after us, many of us were killed and some were thrown back to the prison after a round of torture, there were some that died on the torture."
Shadowslash became furious when he heard this and his aura started flaring up causing the people inside the dead volcano to feel breathless.
He then saw the prisoners seems to be sobbing for a bit but they didn't want to show it.
The hypnotized man continue on his speech "The second time this had happened is when we thought that the invaders have left because of a sudden attack from our side."
"When we finally arrived near the ocean we saw that the invaders were actually waiting for us with mockery on their eyes and just like the first time, we had been chased by their beasts."
"All of this were something they had done to kill some time, for them our lives were just entertainment."
Shadowslash grips his fist tightly and the entire dead volcano started shaking, many started crying when they continue to hear about their past miseries.
When he heard the prisoners cries, his anger flares up and killing intent suddenly dawns on the dead volcano and was actually spreading throughout the island.
The hypnotized man continue "The third time is when some of our forces created a flying vessel to take us out but we were brought back by two powerful entities, we weren't chased by their beasts that time because they seem to be busy, but we still suffered a round of beating from them."
Shadowslash forcefully reigns in his anger and asks in a rather shaky voice "After all of this time, none of you wanted to end your lives?"
The hypnotized man answers "We couldn't, even if we kill ourselves our souls would be captured and we're tortured before being thrown to the great crystal ball that is filled with their disgusting aura."
Shadowslash wanted to find the knights once again and have a good round of torturing them when he heard that even in death these people were still used to their convenience.
He then release the man from his illusion and spoke "All of you do not need to worry, this time it isn't just like before, after all how could they use this as plot to play with you with more than ten thousand of their knight's lives."
The prisoners were stunned, many states hesitating wether to believe him or not but they saw him grabbing the man that was hypnotized before walking deeper into the volcano.
The prisoners continue to be torn in their thoughts, meanwhile, Shadowslash arrives at where the crystal orb that is filled with chaos Qi.
He then saw that the crystal orb was filled with ghosts that have already lost their minds after being corrupted by the chaos Qi.
Feeling some pity towards them he told Chaos and Harmony to purify them but not to the point that they would turn into pure energy.
After Hentai and him absorbed all the chaos Qi inside the crystal ball it was easy for the two fish to purify the ghosts, even though the ghosts have lost their minds already, they became meek after sensing the aura of the two fish.
The two fish were natural predator of all spiritual entities, after being purified by the two, the ferocious looking ghosts started transforming back to their original image and all of them started disappearing.
Chaos and Harmony then returns back to his spiritual world as they felt incredibly weak after the round of purification, Shadowslash doesn't want to harm them so he pour a large amount of his spiritual essence to them.
After seeing how he had purified the ghosts the man that came with him started crying loudly and he started kowtowing while thanking him.
Bloods seeps out of his forehead as he continue slamming his head on the floor, Shadowslash quickly held him up and said "It's no longer needed, just tell your fellow people that they no longer need to worry, I'll deal with those invaders."
With that he continue investigating this place, he knew that with the appearance of the two Pseudo Saints in this location, it meant that something here must have caught their attention.
There is also the fact that the people inside this dead volcano seems to be mining some kind of rock, he became more and more curious about this dead volcano.
Outside the room, the prisoners started taking a step outside, the first one to go out is the man that have been hypnotized by Shadowslash and was also the one that have kowtowed till his head bleed.
Upon seeing mysterious and scary looking bugs buzzing around they immediately became scared but after testing the waters for a couple of minutes they realised that the bugs wasn't hostile to them.
This increases their courage and they continue to advance outside under the supervision of the bugs.
