'Dumb human! You must be stupid if you think that you could learn a complex soul technique today.' Dark Crow thought inside and he almost smiled in place.

Luckily enough, he willed the impulse down before it could even take form on his beak. Time passed and Dark Crow has already regenerated his missing body parts in full.

​​

A level 10 existence has an extremely strong vitality and thus, it would also follow that it would be very hard to kill them.

At worst cases, they could even do a complete blood and flesh rebirth after absolute physical disintegration. These peak old monsters were definitely on a tier above the rest.

"Hmmm... Interesting concept we got here. The creator of this manual is truly a master in the dao of the soul."

Our bored gamer said once he finished reading the texts on the scroll from start to finish.

It took him more or less 10 minutes to do that and he was glad to hear a familiar notification after he read the last word.

"DING!"

"Since the host has taken time to read a book, he has learned the technique called Divine Soul Seal." Nancy announced in a happy voice.

Our bored gamer acquired all the twists and turns about the technique as if he had already mastered it for ten trillion years or more.

As such, learning has never been this easy for anyone at all.

"Since I have already grasped the entirety of this scroll, now let me try its effects in practice." Clark muttered thereafter.

'I can't fathom the arrogance of humans!' Unbeknownst to our good gamer, Dark Crow has sported a sneer in secret. This old monster knew of the Divine Soul Seal's difficulty.

After all, he was the one who owned it in the first place. It was a loot from the myriad worlds that the Thephri race has conquered.

For a unique skill the Divine Soul Seal, Dark Crow has of course coveted to learn this technique. Alas, reality was ever eternally harsh even to the most diligent students.

One should know that the technique Divine Soul Seal has highly strict requirements about the meaning and usage of the soul.

It was like trying to learn calculus when one still did not have any understanding about basic arithmetic. Most of all, one needed to have talent also.

Dark Crow may have been gifted in the dao of the wind because of his innate endowment but he was definitely a mere nothing in the ways of the soul.

'Let me see how you make a fool of yourself now, human trash!' Dark Crow thought at the expense of our very own protagonist.

He could not believe that anything can be learned after only 10 minutes of reading. Especially at a hard technique like the Divine Soul Seal.

"Divine Soul Seal: Capture." Our bored gamer said and pointed towards the kneeling Dark Crow.

His hands mimicked the form of a gun but this was surely superficial and not at all required in the process. Alas, Clark certainly has his flair for the theatrics sometimes.

"DING!" Dark Crow felt an essential part of him was grabbed from within his body. There was nausea in the process and he experienced the illusion of having 2 bodies at once.

One was at the hand of our good gamer while the other was at his subdued true body in the void.

Dark Crow was not new to this sensation since it was exactly the same feeling he had when he created 9,999 of his clones in the past.

"What have you done, human?!" Dark Crow roared but no words came out of his mouth. Both of his consciousness remained active but he had no control on the two whatsoever.

"RELEASE ME AT ONCE!" Dark Crow tried again and this was not the last of his tirade at all.

"Once I get the chance, I'll eat you piece by piece and..." Dark Crow continued but he was left ignored in the end.

"It appears like the technique is effective indeed." Clark nodded and sported a pleasant smile thereafter.

Although he heard the endless jab of his new pet, it was not his duty to continue to hurt his ears in the process. Thus, our avid gamer muted the mad ravings of Dark Crow.

"DING!" Clark secured the captured soul inside his inventory for safekeeping. After doing that, he then gazed at the kneeling true body of Dark Crow.

"Dark Crow." Clark called his new pet.

"Your slave is here, master." Dark Crow stood up and did a graceful bow for a crow. He had dead emotionless eyes and his speech was rigid.

"Hmmm... I got a puppet in return." Clark murmured under his breath. What stood before him was only a deadly tool that lacked the mixed blessing of having a soul.

Although it was only an empty shell and nothing more but this slave still had the same abilities and power of a level 10 supreme existence.

"I guess this would do me just fine since I would find no nonsense and procrastination by holding this sharp weapon at the throats of my enemies." He nodded in understanding.

"I want you to begin conquering this universe for me."

"Start at the nearest from the Thephri dominion."

"I want you to save the humans for last."

"If you encounter a level 10 expert, you only have to summon me and we shall take on that foe together."

"I await your good news, Dark Crow." Clark began enumerating his orders one by one.

"I will not fail you, master." The true body of Dark Crow bowed deeply and he vanished after a breath.

"If I get another level 10 like Dark Crow, I think both would be enough to conquer everything for me."

"When that time comes, all i have to do is wait and take an infinite vacation in the Alliance."

Our bored gamer smiled and immediately used his divine sense to locate the warship Jailbird 26771.

A moment later, he followed the footsteps of Dark Crow and disappeared in the cold embrace of the void.
