Chapter 273

"Group them at the same time," Ibro replied while he closed his eyes. Topan wasn't in a position to question his master. He then ordered his men to do exactly as Ibro said. 

At once, nearly 50 assassins appeared around Ibro and touched visible parts of his body. Ibro felt the sucking force emerged again from his body. 

This time, Ibro had to face the retaliation of 50 demons at the same time. Ibro didn't panic as he was convinced they would never pose any threat to him. 

After a few minutes of the beginning of this confrontation, the system had successfully absorbed all of these seeds' energies. These demons dissipated into thin air after cursing Ibro as usual. 

Ibro was immune to their curses now. His soul had gained a good boost in these few minutes. Ibro then ordered:

"Move to take the stones now. Topan, send the other group now."

Topan hesitated before saying:

"Don't you need to rest a little, master?"

"No, I'm fine. Keep sending me your boys. We don't have a long time to waste."

Topan obeyed Ibro's command and started to enter NPCs in groups like non-stop. After some time, Topan and his main aides had gotten used to the rhythm of Ibro. 

Ibo needed exactly 2 minutes to kill 50 demon seeds. So, every 2 minutes, a group was liberated from their misery and another entered the dome to be freed. 

After some time, Ibro knew he couldn't continue like this. It would take forever to free just 1 million NPCs. He then asked in suggestion:

'Can you use your scout ability to cover the whole NPCs with seeds and absorb their energy at once?'

The system warned Ibro:

'I don't recommend doing this. Your mental power can't withhold all this pressure. I recommend you do it when you train your soul more.'

Ibro refused the system advice as he insisted:

'I can't waste all this time here. Let's do this.'

The system then suggested in turn:

'If you insist on doing so, then I will need a big amount of SPR to shield your soul and keep your sanity.'

Ibro sighed. That system always tried to look for any opportunity to take some SPR stones from him. Ibro asked:

'How many SPR stones do you need?'

'I will need around 100k SPR stones.'

Ibro gritted his teeth. He had just now crossed the threshold of 100k SPR stones. 

That system was playing tricks on him. Ibro didn't reject, though, as he would gain nearly 100 million SRP stones after he finished killing all the seeds.

'The Analysis function is activated. The demon seeds have been found. Do you want to start now?'

Ibro didn't approve immediately, as he ordered Topan:

"Tell your boys that I will fasten things up and will kill seeds in all of them. So, let them not move."

Topan relayed the order to his men who moved to tell the others outside. After nearly 1 minute, all of them were informed and ready. Ibro then gave the order to system:

'Attack 10k seeds at first.'

'Be ready, I will start absorbing their energy now.'

Ibro felt a huge sucking force emerged from him. it was like a dark hole that was able to absorb anything. Ibro noticed the appearance of green wisps coming from everywhere. 

Everything was silent at first, but it was the silence before the storm. Suddenly, shrill screams echoed in the whole universe that made the one shiver. 

Clouds of green smoke appeared one after the other in the sky. They all turned into huge demons that looked with hatred towards Ibro.

'Stay put and don't move. I will make a shield to protect you now.'

The system didn't stand still and at once 100k SPR stones had been deducted. A thick form of shield appeared around Ibro's body that blocked all the incoming wrathful attacks to reach his body. 

Ibro didn't panic at all, as he kept telling himself these were only hallucinations. More clouds appeared accompanied by different types of attacks that started to rain over his body. 

The screams, the shouts, the curses, and the threats were all intertwining together to form a huge mess of incomprehensible sounds. The world in front of Ibro turned into dark green. He was totally surrounded by demons.

'I can't hold them alone, as I need to absorb their energy as well.'

Ibro felt also that way. The system was trying to divide its attention to help him. that would elongate the whole process. Ibro then asked:

'What can I do to help?'

'Use your spells.'

Ibro recalled his previous spell. He commented with doubt:

'It's just a halo-like spell. I doubt it can stop all of them.'

The system asked in a hurry:

'What do you mean?'

'The best defense is always a strong offense. Defending only is very passive and riskier.'

The system didn't have time to care about arguing with Ibro, so it agreed rapidly:

'Alright, I will tell you an attack-type spell. You need to use it after you use your first spell. This spell is called: Sa Romy Dai.'

Ibro didn't exchange a single word again with the system, as the situation was turning from bad to worse. These green clouds were coalescing together to form bigger clouds. 

Ibro felt if he let all those clouds merge to form an entity, it would pose a threat to him. He was rushing it, but he had no other choice. He must not waste much time here, he still had many issues to do. 

At once he cleared up his mind and started to feel the strength of his soul. He didn't hesitate to use the first spell:

'Nefrisca Santo Janigmay.'

At once, his soul energy boiled and emerged on the surface to form a halo. Ibro was watching carefully the response of these demons to the halo. 

As he expected, their screams increased and their attacks became faster. Ibro was about to use the second spell to see its effect, but the system interfered with its harsh voice:

'Keep using the first spell till you form a stronger halo.'

Ibro didn't dare to neglect this crucially timing advice. He started to repeatedly use the spell without any rest. Each time he used it, more energy emerged from his soul. 

The last time he didn't last for long, as his soul energy was small and weak. Now, he wasn't worried at all. His soul was like a raging sea. It would need quite the effort to deplete it. 

After nearly 50 consecutive times of using the spell, Ibro was surrounded by a double-layered thick halo. It wasn't stuck on his body, but there was a 10 centimeters distance between it and Ibro. 

Although this was a tiny distance, it was full of soul energy, and it didn't show any sign of stopping expanding.

'That's good; you can use the second spell now.'

Ibro wasn't only focused on his changes, but also was observing his enemies changes as well. When he started to use his spells, the smoky demons began to be restless. 

As Ibro feared, they wanted from the start to coalesce into a single mighty entity. But the presence of Ibro's spell had disturbed their plans and rushed them to form over 100 entities. 

They weren't that weak, but they were weaker than what these demons intended to do.

'Sa Romy Dai.'

Ibro felt the defensive halo around him to become restless suddenly. What surprised him was that his soul didn't resonate with this spell, but the halo around his body. 

He didn't have time to question about this, either. The restless halo had shown sudden changes. 

A long column extended horizontally from the halo for a dozen meters ahead, and then it stopped and was separated from the halo. 

It started to change its position from horizontal to vertical, while it began to undergo detailed minute changes at its shape. 

All of this happened in less than one moment. Ibro found a huge sword flying calmly in front of him outside the range of his halo.

'That's a great sword, but how can I move it?'
