"Considering I am still at the first order, his stats aren\'t that far from mine, but why so many techniques," Blake thought with a gulp as he gave up after reading about half of Rehabab\'s ability.
Before Blake dismissed Rehabab\'s status screen and and moved to Kate, he checked up on two of his skills, magma quake which had a legendary tag and neither rift which depending on what exactly it was might provide him with some valuable information."

[Host will have to actively initiate a battle of ...…]
After seeing the error, Blake was forced to ignore the next information that the system provided him as he felt a hard crazed stare land on his figure, his eyes moving to meet that of Lena.
"She knows I tried inspecting her"
Making this realization Blake\'s hand immediately went to his ears as Lena\'s presence suddenly blew up and a scream a hundred times worse than what the woman had tortured him with when they had first met erupted from her mouth.
The incredible high-pitched scream had a sharp pain shooting through Blake\'s head, but with a bit of effort he was able to bear it and keep his eyes on the woman, a shocking scene entering his sight.
With shock and a bit of fascination, Blake watched as Lena\'s prime and regal appearance changed to that of a black-haired woman with tears going down her eyes, her skin as pale as that of a dead body, a gaping bloody wound where her heart should be and her dress turning into the exact same one she had been putting on when Blake buried her, the earth stains all over it confirming this.
"Kill him" Lena screamed at Rehabab her face hysterical and full of madness.
The events happening before Blake seemed like a dream to him and he could not help but be shocked once more when after Lena gave her order, Rehabab stumbled backwards like he had been hit by an invisible force and then turned to face him, a murderous intent aimed at him wafting off his being.
Remembering the stats of both people Blake quickly understood how what was happening was possible and wasn\'t surprised when Rehabab\'s body lit up with mana and the demon ran towards him.
Before his evolution, Blake\'s plan for those who would be looking to engage him after he evolved was to use the armor of hell, but now with the system suddenly getting some safety parameter update, it had locked away the armor and left him having to fend off his enemies on his own.
Blake had planned to flee, but he had instead ended up having to clash with Rehabab and now that the man was charging him once more and this time full of rage and the desire to destroy, Blake knew he had to give over 100% of his best.
Blake was ready to use every ability in his arsenal to handle Rehabab and most important of all deal with Lena because whilst the woman was a deadly fifth-order being that absolutely hated him and wanted his death, she at the moment was at her weakest and most importantly vulnerable to him and this was a conclusion Blake had arrived at after assembling a couple of facts.
When Lena had first popped up, Blake had expected a bit of initial leeway with the woman, after all, she did have an obsession with him before he killed her, Blake expected some screams and questions before she took any radical decision, but after seeing her brutally murder Kate and then just seconds ago crazily command Rehabab to kill him, a question popped up in his mind.
"If she hated me so badly and wanted to see me dead, then why was she acting all calm when she arrived, why not immediately charge me and end my life."
Surprisingly, almost as soon as Blake asked himself this question, the answer popped up in his mind, "because she couldn\'t".
[Soul essence: Soul essence is an energy that comes from the soul, this energy determining the soul\'s attack and defense strength.
For one to become able to use this energy, they need to have evolved their soul from a mortal state]
[Soul essence: 10000]
[Soul essence: 3410]
[soul essence:210]
These were the soul essence of Blake, Lena and Rehabab respectively and after understanding what soul essence was from the system, Blake understood that amongst all three of them, he had the strongest soul despite the fact that it was dormant and that the strength of his soul was the only possible reason why whilst Lena could command Kate and even a fourth-order being like Rehabab she had not taken the simple route of commanding him who was of a lower rank.
Blake also understood that whilst he was just now figuring this out, Rehabab who had a far better knowledge of wraiths had long since put this together and that was why he had first killed Hannah, the woman a factor Lena could control and then after he had spoken about the rift closing.
With his ability Nether rift, Rehabab never had to worry about the rift closing but had lied that it was an issue.
What Blake had initially thought was a sort of unusual kindness from the infernal demon was in truth a threat from Rehabab to Lena, a threat which said "I would go and leave you at the mercy of Blake Luxander"
From Rehabab\'s schemes it was more than clear that the demon wanted Lena for a reason and while this reason eluded Blake he couldn\'t help but laugh and think to himself that Rehabab had no idea how truly powerful Lena was, what sort of a monster she was.
"With her titles and unbelievable stats, I bet she is an over one thousand year old wraith who has been in slumber for a long time and is just awakening."
What worried Blake at the moment was that with how aged and wise Lena was, given how much she knew about him, she could most definitely put together a lot of things and arrive at some very devastating truth.
Blake still remembered Lilith\'s warnings to him about their relationship leaking out.
