Alec’s gaze remained fixed on the miniature soul form of the Golden Horned Drake, which had materialized above the lifeless body.

He recognized it as a soul form due to his previous experiences from devouring the souls of shadow wolves from the Beast Forest, and due to witnessing how Oni devoured souls from fallen enemies, so he was somewhat accustomed to the appearance of soul forms.

However, he had not expected such a manifestation to emerge from the deceased demonic beast.

Alec speculated that this scenario unfolded because the soul had sensed the imminent threat of being devoured and had manifested in a defensive bid.

Unfortunately for the soul, it proved unlucky to have cross paths with the Level 2 branch.

With a single forceful swat from the wooden hand, the soul form was sent hurtling toward Alec.

Reacting instinctively, Alec tapped into the powers of his Devourer Bloodline the moment he sensed the soul hurtling toward him.
