Vlad left the residence and returned roughly five minutes later, holding a crystal orb filled with dense, dark spiritual energy.
Although merchants were selling demon souls only a few meters from his home, the soul integrity of their goods was pitifully low. It took Vlad considerable time before he managed to locate a merchant who possessed a Guardian-Tier demon soul stable enough to be reliably used.
Vlad exchanged a meaningful glance with Tyron. Both Runic Masters nodded simultaneously, fully understanding the significance of what was about to transpire.
The Depravita carefully placed the crystal orb containing the demon soul directly above the sword, while Tyron began channeling his energy into the newly inscribed runic formation.
