Chapter 149: Co chapter 🙂 Recently they’ve all been long chapters :p sorry for those with low SS vv)

Whenever Dorian Evolved into a new, stronger forth, the rise would not be purely linear, however

A part of the Energy Level that any Bloodline reached through natural growth consisted of energy devoted to increasing the strength of one’s Soul Spell Matrix For Dorian, whose Soul Spell Matrix was already very strong, y would have little effect

Thus, while he gained a significant a his Balance Demon Fory Level

Slowly, but surely, Dorian was growing his physical for Laws or Law energy

Dorian’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the dead Solar Garden Deer

Most of his focus was still on reveling in the Law Energy and the re in every bit of energy he could Therefore, he reainst a tree (A/N: Capitalizing Baptis on dirt rang out as first one, and then a second, figure burst into view

Two youths wearing brown leather hides, each ar bow that appeared to be made out of metal

&8211;

Species: Shade

Class &8211; Sky Class

Maxiy Level: 31

&8211;

Species: Shade

Class &8211; Sky Class

Maxiy Level: 33

&8211;

Dorian stared at they Levels of 33 and 31? Was I that pitifully weak at one point?’ Dorian shook his head The Shade Race Bloodline could grow, naturally, to Sky Class To grow beyond that, however, one needed to study a Mystic Martial Art or study Magic

"Salhtly reedier than the other, with short brown hair and pale green eyes The dark essence that floated off his hands, the tell-tale sign of the Shade Race, rose slowly in the air

"Nice! Solar Garden Deer may be weak, but they can sell for a ton at the Nors for at least a month!&8221; The other youth jumped up and down in joy as he ran up to the corpse

Dorian studied the of the Law of Mercy, and residually, the Law of Greed

The two boys quickly trussed up the corpse with a set of sticks and ropes, instead of putting it in any type of Spatial Ring or Pouch Their movements were quick and practiced, as if they had done this many times before

They also, he noted with amusement, completely failed to notice the heavily arainst a tree just a couple dozen an to leave

WHOOSH

The air around Dorian stirred slightly The Law of Mercy caused a very short Baptism of the Laws of the Universe Dorian finished it co all he could by active focus and er to check his progress

&8211;

Dorian &8211; Soul Status

Soul Stage: Lord Class (Pseudo-King)

Health: Perfect

Energy: 138,825/162,112

&8211;

He grinned, clenching his fists with excitey Level noell exceeded the typical nor into the range of the abnormal ones like Vice-Head Taemin

And with 4 different Laws to draw upon to power his Soul, Dorian had no intention of stopping that growth

Laere the bedrock of power in this universe Dorian had realized that fir with theth

‘The only person I know that studied multiple Laws is the Demon Emperor’ From the memories he used to have, Dorian had become aware that Yukeli had sensed multiple Laws, but only chose to fully use and study the Law of the Absolute

According to legend, the Demon Emperor mastered all Seven of the Seven Great Laws of the Demon Race This made him a nearly unstoppable force of nature that required the efforts of the greatest geniuses in the Universe to defeat

No one actually knew the real details of that final battle Only that the Five Great Heroes had proven victorious, but promptly afterward, two of the Five, Ausra and Kaladin, had disappeared

‘Well, Ausra didn’t just disappear Yukeli killed her’ Dorian mentally corrected himself, his eyes dark

‘Anyway I’m kind of on a similar path to the Demon Emperor, aren’t I?’ Dorian realized, not sure howseveral Laws that are part of the Seven Laws of the Deuess you could say they are opposites of the Seven Great Laws of the Demon Race If the Seven Laws of the Demon Race are the Seven Sins like they seem to be… Then these would be the Seven Virtues’ He rubbed his chin, processing the thought,

‘Well Laws are just a tool’ He shrugged,

‘Just because I a a Law that centers around a Sin does not mean I am evil It is the choices you make that prove what you are, not your abilities’ He nodded sharply,

‘I will always try to do the right thing In this universe, I will fail at that unless I have power’ His eyes narrowed,

‘And the path to power… I see it’ He grinned fiercely,

‘Not even you can stop me now, Yukeli’ His eyes flashed as he made a mental resolution

WHOOSH

The air around hi that promise had an impact on Fate itself

‘Still… with that said… what should I do now?’ Dorian glanced off to the side, where the two Shade boys eaving through the trees, still in eyesight They appeared to be painfully oblivious to the fluctuating energy around Dorian

"H he wore

In his Spatial Ring, Dorian still had one Pill left that he had yet to use on Helena

His Shorn Soul Repair Pill

It was a Pill he had originally planned on using on Will’s soul in case of an e to repair it, but hadn’t ended up needing due to being able to use Veritas’ body

The Pill drew heavily on the energy of the surrounding world, forcibly healing a soul that was injured It operated quickly, taking little tiative side effects, according to the Alchemist that had made it for hi so, dae the ability of that soul to sense the Laws of the Universe for years

It was the price the Pill paid to grant ultra fast regeneration of the soul

The side effects went away, eventually, with ti to Lord Ru And, for Dorian, it had sounded ideal at the tioing to fail and needed to protect Will’s soul He didn’t think Will would co hoould be dead otherwise

For Helena, however, such a repair could cripple her Ability to use her Law of Might for years to co Dorian wanted to have happen

"Lord Ru ated if I obtained a Lord Class Healing Bell Pill, though…&8221; Dorian

Perhaps it wasn’t such a bad idea toout his body He felt strong He was strong

He turned and ju Helena He looked down at her resting for on a makeshift bed created out of folded up clothes

He frowned She deservedforured wrinkles and withered appearance, Dorian still thought she looked beautiful The corner of her lips was upturned in a smile and he could feel that fierce, proud nature

He reached out but then stopped, looking at his arain as he stared at this and then back at her He sighed

‘Ausra, I still have a Shade Bloodline stored, correct?’ He queried

‘Yes’ Ausra gave a terse and short reply

‘Evolve me into a Shade’

WHOOSH

"Hup! Careful now, dove&8221; Dorian carried Helena carefully, balancing her body on his arh the forest He followed the trail of the two Shade boys that had been out hunting, carrying their prized carcass

He bore the appearance of a normal human, for the most part, save for two Dark Points on the top of his hands

He was a Shade

&8211;

Shade &8211; Sky Class

&8211;

Maxiy Level: 36

Ability: Weak Dark Sense, Weak Shadow Sense

&8211;

The Shade Race is a reater, Shadoir Race They are a lesser subrace that holds none of the powerful Abilities that reatest Ancient Races in the 30,000 Worlds, and a contender against the Ancestral Vao

The Shade Race corowth at the Sky Class They possess a weak but innate ability to use Shadow and Dark Magic The Shade Race also possesses a unique characteristic known as a Dark Point on the top of each wrist For practitioners of Shadow or Dark Magic, this Dark Point can enhance the power of either type of Magic significantly if used as the focus for a Spell As a result of their affinity for Dark and Shadow Magic, Shade blood is black in color

&8211;

‘Not the most useful Class for rade fully’ He shrugged

"I got you, I got you&8221; DorianHelena safe His running and juh the forest was controlled and quiet Hejostled

Helena slept peacefully, snuggled up against Dorian’s chest as he aure out where he was Right now, seeing as he found two Shade boys randoured he was near or within the Shade Cohtly worried Hopefully it wasn’t too far

After all, the Shade Commune was at ith the Vampire Families, as Dorian had learned Even worse, Dorian had beat up and alht, soure to the Shade Race

If they found out he was here… Well It was best to avoid that

‘After I find out where we are, I’ll decide what to do from there I either need to hurry up and escape to safer lands, or search for a Lord Class Healing Bell Pill or some other Pill that can help heal the soul’ If he was close enough to the Aurelius Family controlled Worlds, he would just leave for them immediately They would be able to treat and heal Helena, and would likely spare no expense

‘It all depends on where you two lead me’ His eyes flashed as he focused back on the present, looking at the two boys that were hurrying through the forest Shade’s grew older, and e lifespan ranging froe

This didn’t take into account how having a stronger soul meant you could live for hundreds or even thousands of years longer than norular people

The two boys must’ve been, in huh to take care of the a slightly worn trail The forest wasn’t thick, yet Dorian discovered there was aabout He saw several Grass Deer, Silver Oak Boars, and a few other species that all looked quite unique At the least, not like anything he had ever seen before All the creatures here seemed to be related to plants somehow

‘Can I absorb a plant? Can I become a plant?’ Dorian paused for a e oak trees that dominated this forest

‘Yes, you can absorb certain species of plants that have gained sentience and possess a Soul Spell Matrix’ Ausra cut into his thoughts, infor him

‘Oh Good to know’ He hadn’t even really considered it Maybe there were some weird trees or flowers out there with unique Abilities that could help him

‘Even weak creatures can have useful or unique Abilities I should cycle throughthere Ihe’d look into it when he got free time

Finally, after 15all over the place, they arrived at a clearing where the forest ended A large, spread out grass plain extended beyond the forest

A long, earthen road could be seen leading to the forest The two youths began jogging down this path,at a fast pace

Dorian stalked and followed the several hundredClass expert, he could still easily keep track of them

Minutes slipped away as the youths travelled forward Soon, Dorian coulda dozenhad a few other Shadeson it Most of them appeared in similar wear as the Shade youths, obviously all hunters

After a couple e in the background, the boy’s easy travel was interrupted

"Oh, nohat do we have here?&8221; A gruff, grouchy voice echoed out as a trio of Shades noticed the duo carrying their deer down the road The leader of the trio was a taller, athletic looking Shade that carried himself with authority He wore a set of simple, plain leather armor, sihtly overweight Shades dressed in fine looking white silk

Despite the difference in attire, the two overweight Shades clearly followed the younger, leather-armor clad Shade

&8211;

Species: Shade

Class &8211; Master Class

Maxiy Level: 61

&8211;

‘Oh, he’s Master Class’ Dorian noted For a Shade, that ic or, h to upgrade his Soul Spell Matrix The increase in energy level was nearly double the boys, but in physique, a Master Class Shade would be ular Sky Class Shade

Still, anything before Grandth, not yet

"Darvo We already paid our dues to the Guild, just like last tihtly reedier Shade youth, Jasol

This was, apparently, a regular occurrence for the two youths Dorian frohen he saw it, but didn’t take action He couldn’t take care of everyone And besides, it wasn’t like he had full knowledge of the situation Perhaps the Guild here was one that provided real benefits or protection in return for whatever dues the kids paid

"Yes, you two have I’ the local econo as he looked at the strung up deer and continued,

"But what is this, here? Is that a Solar Garden Deer?&8221; His voice was full of interest

The other Shade youth, Sal Darvo’s vision

"Guild rules state you can’t interfere with members of the Guild on business We hunted this deer fair and square, so buzz off&8221; Sal Jasol nodded, crossing his arms in solidarity

"That they do… But we aren’t in Guild territory, no? I usually check for dues outside the city proper, we’re still severalinto you two must’ve been a random twist of Fate&8221; Darvo sether

Dorian, in the background, turned and whistled to hi to do with this

‘Da trouble to random people as well’ He had no doubt that his soul was at fault for this

"And out here in the wilds… the ive way&8221; Darvo’s body blurred as he ju ahold of the Shade youth named Salma

Dorian’s eyes flashed darkly when he heard that expression, sounding very si he’d heard Arial say, in what felt like so long ago He frowned, instantlya decision

‘If I save those two boys, I should be able to get reliable infore land’

Energy flowed around his ar as he put his full focus on as in front of hith But I also don’t need to hide anyer weak like I used to be I can face threats head-on’

Dorian leapt forward, swinging his arhly a dozen meters away from the two Shades An air of justice appeared around hiood deed

"Unhand those youths, foul villain! I’ll have you know that this Godly Shade shall-oh-ue cut off as his eyes widened, realizing he had forgotten soth as he spun about

‘Perfect Body, Activate!’

‘Energy fro Winds: Flush Gale!’

Dorian unleashed his full strength as he dived head first towards the ground

Specifically towards the body of Helena that he had accidentally forgotten he was holding when he ju his arms, he had inadvertently tossed her off to the side and up into the air He had been so completely focused on the situation at hand that he hadn’t noticed

BOOM

A sround as Dorian sed to catch the still sleeping Helena Dirt and rock debris fluttered into the air, grass flying about as a small burst of wind shot out at the ih of relief as he looked at her, noting that she seeed by his lapse

"Did you notice that at all?&8221; He whispered quietly, eyeing her

Helena didn’t react

Dorian carried her carefully, using his left hand to wipe a sheen of sweat of his forehead The dark essence that rose off the Dark Point on his wrist blinded hiet used to

Dorian then turned his focus back to the now stunned group of Shades

They were all staring at hi

"None of you saw that, do you hear me? I absolutely did not throw her into the air and ally with power fro at Dorian in ood&8221; Dorian sht, where was I&8221; He gathered his bearings Once more, a proud, justice-full demeanor appeared and wrapped around hihed and then yelled aloudthem anymore Well&8221; He cut himself off lao of the youth hunter, backing up several steps

"Uhh&8221; He rubbed his chin, looking down as he tried to think of a response

"I got it!&8221; He snapped his fingers, looking back up with a smile

"Do you dare to- hey! Wait! Hold on!&8221; Dorian sputtered aloud as he looked at his charges

"Don’t run away! I wasn’t finished! Come back!&8221; He yelled aloud as he saw the youth hunters and the Martial Artist and his two goons sprinting away at full speed The two youths kept hold of their deer corpse loot, their bodies shaking with exertion as they fled, while the Martial Artist Shade ran adeptly, his movements smooth

"Daan to chase the slowly as to not jostle Helena awake
