《Devour》Chapter 22: Angel Vs Demon
Advertisement
The Commander knows that losing is inevitable and activates the Nether Sect's secret art that empowers him to take and use human souls to strengthen himself. Nether Sect's secret art is powerful, but the memories from the person's soul are still intact and will hunt those who use the secret art. Anyone with strong mental strength can fight back by taking over the opponent's body and mind by devouring the enemy's soul or vice versa.
The Secret art is a gift from the "Dark One" to the Nether Sect.
Ghost-like figures start screaming like their being torture nonstop as these ghost-like figures hold their physical body tight only to let go and eventually get devoured by the Commander. The people around the Commander, friends or foes alike, can not escape his grasp no matter what they do as their souls get sucked into the Commander's mouth.
The Commander's power is unfathomable, and one hits the closest person as he takes his soul. Charging towards Aera with malicious intent while killing anyone in front of him and taking their souls, he punches her but misses and kills more allies than foe.
When souls try to get out of the Commander's body that belongs to Dawn city's troops, he grabs them one by one while the souls scream in agony as he shoves them inside his chest.
"You're not going anywhere," The Commander wickedly laughs.
Lust for power, the Commander, try to take more souls than he can take. He mentally shivers since he can't take any more souls, then eventually loses control and goes mad while attacking anyone in front of him without a will but a mindless body.
Even with all the chaos and explosion (Blood Sacrifice) that the cult members cause on the battlefield, the Commander caught everyone's attention and became everybody's enemy. The Nether Sect disciples also practice the secret art, but now they know the side effect of too much consumption, thanks to the Commander.

The Nether Sect's skin turns gray like its lifeless, and hears the screaming of souls if you're near one.
This secret art makes you stronger but with a side effect that makes you mad if you fail to control energy or get overwhelmed by the victim's memories, but the disciples practice and know-how the secret artworks, so this doesn't concern them.
Since the Commander no longer can do his duty and killing anyone in his sight, Aera takes this opportunity to run away from him and watch the rest of the Nether Sect taking souls from the Commander, including his.
Everyone pursues Aera, but she always swings her weapon and will explode thanks to the energy it absorbs. The reason the explosion dont affect her is because of the umbrella opening to shield her from danger.
Aera is a genius to master her soul umbrella, making it harder for the Nether Sect and Blood Moon Cult to kill nor capture her.
As soon as Mickey gets back to Aera, he asks, "Are you alright? They're using forbidden art!"
"I'm alright, but our people can't take them anymore and need to end this! Lucky the weather is on our side!" Aera replies happily
Mickey looks up notices the sky is full of clouds, and it looks like it's about to rain.
Aera called her two Magus rank bodyguards and shouts, "Leon! Noel! Take out all your Lighting Stones and use them by attacking Mickey!"
*TAKE THIS YOU! YOU DON'T DESERVE OUR GODDESS* Both magicians thought
The two Magus release lighting magic and aim it to Mickey with all their might for no damn reason. They thought that their Goddess dont want Mickey anymore.
The two Magus rank magicians can not believe that Mickey can take all the magic they cast. Before they pass out for overdoing magic without rest, they saw Mickey covered with electricity like a God possessed his body.

When Mickey raises his hand, a lighting pillar went straight to the clouds, followed by a rumble of thunder. This spectacular scene caught everyone's attention, and without any warnings, lightning strikes people on the ground. Since Mickey has complete control of the lightning, he only smites the enemies and passes out.
Aera quickly catches Mickey while everyone celebrates for winning this war.

8 91Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.

The world in this novel is huge as you will find out in the book itself. I ask all readers to leave comments, ratings and followers. I respect and expect constructive feedback but it's worth reminding you that like some, I'm just a novice writer.
