Chapter 333: 333

Ibro held her in his arms. Once she leaned onto his chest, she closed her eyes and entered into deep sleep. Exhaustion was apparent on her tiny face. Ibro looked towards her for a while before he asked the system:

'Can you investigate her current condition?'

'Sure, I will do it now.'

Ibro then began to inspect the area around him. Maya did a brilliant job here. There was no demon at all. Ibro stood in the middle of nowhere waiting for the system to finish.

'I have some good and bad news. What do you want to hear first?'

Ibro knew there must be some wrong in her. He replied without hesitation:

'The bad news of course,' Ibro asked for what concerned him most. He knew she was fine generally, but he wanted to hear the damage report.

'As you wish. The most damage she took was related to her system. The good news is it's still there. The bad news is it's heavily damaged. The system soul had been killed with that Gorat. 

The system inside her is just a dead piece of data. The other bad news is related to her soul sea. Other than the pocket space she had, the soul sea had been totally ruined. 

She needs to start accumulating soul sea energy from scratches again. In fact, this isn't a bad thing. She was directed by a malfunctioned system after all.'

Ibro went silent for a moment. These damages were severe. He expected such a result. After all, he had killed Gorat which was deeply integrated into her system. Ibro sighed. He asked:

'Can you help her system?'

'If you can provide a soul for her system, then sure I can help her.'

Ibro felt curios about this soul thing, so he asked again:

'What do you mean by the soul?'

The system replied without delay:

'Every system had a soul like me. This soul is the main part of any system. Without a soul, the system would be like a dead piece of data. This soul comes from deceased humans. 

For example, my soul came from an ancient human who was proficient at cosmic energy. For her case, you need to look for the soul of a deceased cultivator. 

This cultivator must be highly proficient in cultivation. If he was a legendary character then it would be better.'

'…'

This was very weird to Ibro. He didn't know that this system had a soul… a soul of a dead person. Ibro thought for a while. He was now in a game based world, but he knew a cultivation based world. 

If she could wait until he returned to his cultivation world, then he would find a soul easily for her. Ibro then thought again, would she wait? Would he lose the help of her in such a critical period? That would badly affect him.

'This person must be a cultivator?'

'Yes, he must be a cultivator. Her system is a cultivation based system. This nature is something I can't change. So, you need to find a place for a dead cultivator, and I will do the rest.'

Ibro sighed. This task was very difficult. He then asked:

'Is she alright? Can she use her cultivation base and techniques?'

'Yes, her dantian is intact. She is fine, but the backlash of her system and soul sea destruction had weakened her. She only needs to sleep for a while. After that, she will regain her activity as usual.'

Ibro felt relieved. Ibro then said:

'Activate the divine sense divine ability.'

'Divine sense activated.'

Ibro's divine sense had covered a huge area of 50k kilometers. Inside this area, he could find many demon gatherings. 

He also found his skeletons and Maya's cultivators. Both were having their share of fighting. Ibro thought of an idea.

'Can we use a normal cultivator soul for her system?'

'No, the soul must be a high-rank soul. Otherwise, her system will be retarded and didn't even worth your efforts.'

Ibro then neglected this idea. He thought of using the soul of any deceased cultivators from Maya's people. Ibro stood in his place watching everything for a couple of minutes.

'Let's get them together and then we will head home. Activate the flying divine ability.'

'Flying divine ability is activated.'

Ibro then soared in the sky holding Maya carefully in his arms. The closest group to him was his skeleton army. They were a couple of thousands of kilometers away from his place. 

In an hour, he had reached their place. They were engaged with a huge group of demons. What Ibro noticed was that the demon army was endless. 

The skeletons and cultivators' armies were preventing these demons from heading north. Were the southern regions lost already to the demons? That might be the case here. 

Ibro didn't delay as he used his three spells coupled with his sword whirlpool strike to kill massive numbers of demons in one hit. 

Ibro's energy reserves were full to the brim, so he used his strike nearly five times in a row. He created an empty region extending for hundreds of kilometers around him. 

Ibro's presence had relieved a lot of pressure over his skeletons. Ibro's previous planning changed when he watched the endless demons filling the gap he created rapidly. If he evacuated from here, then his territory would be threatened.

'Activate the God Eye Telepathy divine ability.'

'Ability activated.'

Ibro then used his divine ability to be connected with his alpha death knight.

'Listen to me. Send a few of your fastest death knights and send a message to my village. I want Erond, Gorsag, and Topan to come here at once.'

'Your wishes are my command.'

Ibro knew how dependable his death knight was. Ibro didn't stand still in his place waiting for the demons to appear, as he muttered:

'Activate Death Summon curse.'

'Death summon curse activated.'

Ibro's soul sea energy had been upgraded a lot. So, when he used this curse with the ultimatum energy, he summoned 10k death kings in one go. Ibro felt surprised and content from such a result. 

He continued to summon death knights for half an hour without stopping. Once the demon army's vanguard appeared, Ibro didn't delay and used his sword whirlpool strike again. 

The death toll of the demons was a terrifying number. Again, Ibro created a buffer region between his army and the demons. This time he didn't wait for the demons as he started to fly towards the cultivators' place. 

His skeleton armies were massive and much bigger than the cultivators. Also, his skeletons had a big number of death kings, so he wasn't worried about them. 

He could unleash his skeletons to head deep in the enemy territory without any worry. What worried him, though, were the cultivators' side. They were his and Maya's property. 

He couldn't find another source of supply of cultivators except through his village. If he lost big numbers of these cultivators, which would be a huge blow to his growing empire. 

Ibro took nearly two hours till he reached the cultivators' side. Once he reached there, he didn't talk with anyone as he used his spells and strikes to create a buffer zone for them. 

He didn't hold his hands after that, as he began to summon his death kings without stop. Every ten minutes, the gap he created would be filled again. Ibro then used his spells and strikes to recreate it. 

Then he would summon his death kings. Ibro continued to do so for hours. In between this routine, he used the normal death summon curse. After 10 hours, he had gathered massive numbers of his skeletons. 

The cultivators' army had the skeletons in front of them as a shield. That helped to reduce their losses by a great margin.
