The yellow shield protects Perid's soul, giving it an advantage in the fight against El's soul.
Why is the shield being triggered when there are no enemies?
"The reason is simple, haven't we already met?"
I must say, I have to praise the taste now; this shield is crunchy and sweet.
Perid heard a familiar voice; it was El's voice, coming from...
"They're everywhere, in all directions?!"
A shield under attack from all directions, ubiquitous sounds, enemies that are completely invisible, and a completely dark environment.
Although I can hardly believe my guess, there seems to be a possibility right now.
"This place, could it be..."
"You guessed it, didn't you? I ate your soul like a candy bean."
El never expected that a monster would be so conscious and considerate as to turn itself into a dish and feed it to him.
He was well aware that his existence was extraordinary, possessing the ability to turn monsters into food and absorb power through eating.
Such power is simply not something a normal person should possess.
During his time as an adventurer, he once ate the soul powder left behind by a vengeful spirit as food, and sensed the existence of souls, thus opening his soul vision.
Because flesh and soul are connected, he discovered that every time he ate monster food, his soul actually grew as well.
That consumption of the dead was just the right moment, allowing the soul to complete its transformation.
He discovered through his spiritual vision that ordinary people's souls are white, while his own is black.
If a normal soul is the size of a soccer ball, then El's is the size of a soccer field.
Powerful, greedy, and with a certain allure.
If El doesn't pay attention to controlling it normally, this passive gravity effect shouldn't be a problem for absorbing the souls of simple animals.
Now, a brave lich has bravely walked headlong into such a black hole of the soul, a terrifying existence that normal life avoids at all costs.
"I must thank you..."
The magic protecting his soul was being eroded little by little, and Perid felt like food inside a beast's stomach.
It heard El make a sound with his soul vibrating, a vibration that made the lich feel dizzy.
"You showed me how to better care for a soul."
The power of magic, or rather, soul magic—that's the best seasoning, isn't it?
The Soul Protection Magic enhances the flavor and texture of the Pelid, the Soul Repair Magic allows the ingredients to slowly regenerate, and the Soul Attack Magic gives it a slightly spicy taste, increasing its appetite.
The black hole-like soul was like a tongue licking candy; with each touch, Perid felt a part of himself being scraped off.
It has transformed from greed at the beginning to fear now.
From wanting to live, it turned into wishing to die immediately.
"monster……"
"Don't say that, didn't you just come to me like this?"
El enjoyed the meal, which featured the soul of a great lich as the main course and was seasoned with magic.
It tastes like a chocolate liqueur, with the magic on the outside bringing out the sweetness, and the lich's long history being like a fine wine.
This special meal led El to decide to add the undead to his menu.
Even though they don't have much meat, at least their souls are edible!
"Thank me, I will make history remember your name."
"I...!"
These were Peled's last words. No one could hear what he said clearly, but it sounded like he was swearing quite rudely.
Immediately afterwards, the black hole's soul transformed into a gigantic maw, gently crushing the soul's candy and completely devouring this unfortunate being.
