Delric Aj'ahman narrowed his eyes at the human before him. It had been over a couple of months since he came down to this realm through some unhindered means, and for the first time, someone actually managed to surprise him.
All the trolls did not have a single working brain cell in their heads, while the orcs were busy currying favour from him. The less said about the goblins, the better. None of them understood what he was capable of or who he really was... They just knew he was someone who could bring glory to their lost races...
But the human before him was something that would bring glory to his name. If he could just bring him to the Temple of Emptiness...
But that line of thought ended where it began. It was already impossible for him to physically enter this forsaken realm, much less bring along something out with him, dead or alive, it did not matter.
He would have to be content with extracting the void essence from the mongrel pest and siphoning the power back to his real body. He hoped his vessel body would survive that.
Delric had no love for the orc leader who willingly gave his body for him to possess. Rashe'Ivek was his name, and the only reason he remembered was because of his superior cognitive abilities.
Rashe'Ivek probably wouldn't survive for long after he removed his possession over the body. The battle had barely started, and Delric had barely tapped into much dark essence, and the vessel was already beginning to deteriorate.
It was his first time possessing the body of an orc. He had no clue how long it could withstand if he were to introduce void essence into its system.
Maybe I can ask the orcs to use the sacrificial ritual again and offer me another body, Delric thought. Trolls make terrible vessels; their thought processes were so simple and primitive, or else their regenerative power would have been greatly welcomed. Goblins were out of his consideration... He'd rather possess a dog than a degenerate race like those green pests.
But if he had a human body—that was where he would be able to showcase much more of his spiritual capabilities. After all, his own race was very close to that of a human, unlike a pathless fool like the orcs.
Delric already had his eyes on a woman with dark essence. He had only seen her for a fraction of a moment before she had fled, but his path was synergised the most with her body among all the humans present here...
He found the dark purple eyes staring at his very being, a cold smile playing in those eyes, as the man pulled him into the sky.
"You might be transcendent," the man said, "but you're not quite it right now..."
The Way was lost from his clutches, and the man with void essence had already isolated him from any more mischief.
"I could have ended you where you stood on the ground," the man told him, his chest alight in a golden shimmer.
"Radiance essence?" Delric asked in confusion. "How?" Enjoy new adventures from m-v l'e|-novelhall.net
The man did not answer his question. "But I had to play around to ease your all-so-diligent followers."
Delric wasn't hearing him. Void essence and Radiance essence in the same body?
Who is he? What is he? A hidden weapon of the Temple of Emptiness? But the Eclipse would never let them—
"I have some time in hand to get some answers out of you," the man said, clutching him by the throat. "How did you enter the inheritance ground?"
"Heh!" Delric attempted to smile, though the expression was lost to the orc's ugly exterior. The man wasn't as bright as he had thought, even if he had two of the greatest sources of power. "Tell me who... what you are, and I will tell you."
The cold eyes with a purple glow stared down at him. "I wish I could tell you."
Then he snapped his neck.
