Once all people received Souls and incredible powers. Some were lucky enough to obtain the Soul of an ancient and powerful creature, but fate was not favorable to all. The world began to change, and creatures evolved. But, it was not the beginning of a new era. It was the end. A couple of months later, a dark mist appeared and destroyed the world. It was a dictate of destiny from which no one could escape. Wain Norheim was the world's best assassin and the only one who didn't get a soul. However, he was destined to gain the power to confront fate. Escaping through a portal into another world, he unknowingly began the apocalypse. Even the world failed to expel him.
Nicole greedily absorbed energy from the souls to heal her wounds. Though she was not a human, she was a rather special monster, so much of the energy she didn't even purify and literally ate souls almost instantly, dealing with the side effects.
Uncleaned energy should have caused her even more damage than she would have gotten from absorbing souls, but Nicole knew how to absorb energy better than anyone else, so she even withstood the pressure from a lot of Wain's blood.
"Well, well, it's time to get it and bring it to Ceozi, right?" Wain muttered with a slight smile looking at the dragon skull.
'Do you need my help? Blind Sorcerer asked as he crossed his arms over his chest.
'Sure, I definitely can't do it without you. The dragons will sense that I broke off a fang from the skull of their long-dead mate, so they will rush here to punish me." Wain said calmly with a slight nod.
