Arash's arm moved slowly as he lifted it while trying to point at Reign and the others. He tried speaking, but he couldn't speak thanks to his throat being crushed before.

His eyes contained pure rage in them as he stared at Reign and the others before giving them a small smirk and closing his eyes for the final time.

Reign quickly used his ability and sensed Arash's soul.

The soul slowly went outside the body and tried to leave, only to be caught by Reign who tried to take it in him.

There was a problem, however.

Reign couldn't take the soul, he wasn't powerful enough to contain it.

The soul struggled and Arash's face could be seen making an expression of disbelief and rage upon being caught by Reign who had tried to capture him.

He knew that there were beings that could sense and even attack or capture souls, he just didn't believe that he would be unlucky enough to come across one of such beings on this small planet that had recently started being assimilated into the universe by the system's help.

He could sense that Reign was unable to capture him, however, and started laughing maniacally as he continued struggling and trying to escape.

"Damn it, I can't hold on to his soul much longer!' Reign said with slight panic as this was the first time such a thing had happened.

"It's alright boy, I'll help you out, you can't contain the whole soul, but taking half of it will be enough." Aethion suddenly spoke and Reign could suddenly feel that Arash's soul was suddenly not as powerful as it was before.

It wasn't that Arash became weaker, but that Aethion was helping Reign out which strengthened his pull on the soul.

"Good, that's about half, we just need to make sure we take the memory of what happened today with us, it will be much easier for us to deal with the other ash demons if they don't know about our existence and powers," Aethion said in a calm voice before checking the soul that was now inside Reign's consciousness, well, half of it was.

"Hmm, alright, got it, now listen to me Reign," Aethion said.

"I will help you out, but when I say so, you need to sever the connection between you and the soul, you need to stop using your power and go back to normal, don't try to sense souls or anything of the like, alright?"

"Yeah, I got it."

"Good, hmm, now let me reinforce this, help out with this thing, oh, almost forgot to encompass the soul, we don't want it dissipating once we sever the other half, and hmmm, that's about it," Aethion spoke in a weird manner as he was moving around and doing some stuff inside Reign's consciousness.

"Alright, on three, do what I previously said."

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

Reign immediately lets go of the soul before stopping his ability. He couldn't sense the soul anymore, nor any soul that was nearby. He could, however, feel that something inside his head changed, there was a slight drumming noise that he could hear, but was unable to see what it is.

"Alright, got it, this should suffice for now." The drumming noise suddenly disappeared as Aethion spoke.

"It's good, we will talk once you reach the base, you still have more that you need to do here from what I know," Aethion said as Reign nodded his head before turning around and looking at Wolf and the others.

The fox and Arash had given them quite some exp and items, but they knew that Arash definitely had a lot of good stuff in the base, the other demons as well should have some interesting items that they could try and find.

They quickly moved, their boosts were still active and if any demon was to come and try to stop them, they would be destroyed in a matter of seconds. Reign and the others had used a lot of mana during their bombardment, but they still had more than enough to deal with all of the demons that had survived, if they so wished to.

They knew that Arash resided in a large circular building, but with all the chaos and destruction that the battle between him and the fox had caused, it was a bit difficult to find it.

Suddenly, Beast stopped as he used his ability and summoned his eagle in order to help them out.

Even if the building had been destroyed, they knew the approximate location of it from when they were scouting the base earlier and could still find it.

After a couple of seconds, Beast glanced at the others and nodded at them, he had found the building.

They all quickly ran toward the building, the last thing they wanted to happen now was for a demon to get in and steal any items before disappearing from sight.

The worst thing was that they had no idea what could be inside, which meant that if anything was stolen, they had no way of knowing it.

Reign and the others quickly got to the building.

A part of it was destroyed as a couple of neighboring buildings had been destroyed and crashed down on it.

The dome-like building was about 50 meters in diameter and was one of the largest buildings in the base. They scouted the area and after confirming that there were no enemies nearby, Reign and the others went inside in order to check the inside of the building.

Most of the inside was trashed, the destruction brought by the collapse of the other buildings on top of it had caused numerous clay bricks to gather inside while most of the furniture was destroyed and in pieces.

Reign and the others slowly and meticulously combed through the entire building that had a couple of rooms. There was nothing that truly stood out, there were clothes, some armor, and weapons, but none of a high rank and it looked like they were put there simply because they looked cool and expensive.

After spending about 10 minutes, Reign and the others were still unable to find anything that was valuable inside the building. For a moment they thought that maybe the demon had a spatial ring that he had hidden on himself, but they quickly shook their heads.

It was simply not worth doing something like that when the demon was inside his own base and had to act quickly because the fox had attacked them suddenly.

The weapon he wielded and the armor were definitely of a high rank, but they were gone after the battle that took place in the base. The fox had incredibly sharp teeth and claws that were able to even destroy such valuable items after a prolonged battle, not to mention the powerful blue flames that were equally deadly as well.

The last thing that they could think of was that the demon had a hidden room somewhere inside the building. Most high-ranking individuals had such places that they would create in order to not have any precious possessions stolen by anybody.

Reign and the others scout the whole inside of the building again, but this time they were looking for anything that was suspicious, any lines on the floor or wall, any item that looks misplaced, anything.

"Guys, take a look over here!" Shadow's voice suddenly echoed through the building as Reign and the others quickly went to him.

They found Shadow looking at a small weird statue that was on a shelf in front of him.

"Hmm, what's up, is it that statue?" Reign asked as he looked at Shadow who nodded his head.

"It's not easily visible because there's not a lot of light here, but come closer, look at the bottom of the shelf on which the statue is placed," Shadow said as he pointed at the statue.

Upon getting closer, Reign and the others only needed a few seconds to realize what Shadow meant.

The shelf had moved, and the shock from the impact of several buildings falling on the side of the building shook it, leading to everything moving around and falling down. The shelf was empty, except for the statue.

All the items that had been placed on the shelf had fallen down, all except for the statue.

That was not all, after looking closely, they could see that the statue had not only moved but had embedded itself deeply in the shelf after the latter had moved after the buildings had fallen down. Splinters could be seen and an obvious dent on the shelf was visible from up close.

Reign looked at the others before nodding his head and grabbing the statue. He tried pulling it, but that didn't work. He then tried to shift it around, but that didn't work as well.

He then got an idea and tried to spin it to the side, and he was successful. Upon being spun by about 90 degrees to the left, a click was heard and the floor a couple of meters behind Reign and the others moved, revealing a hidden staircase.
