Just when I thought they were going to sleep or something, the veins that vanished inside these Reapers’ bodies suddenly flared up, releasing a surge of fire in different colours, engulfing the bodies of them.

“So they are going to die!” my eyes flashed with such realisation when I saw this. In fact it was a weird, very weird phenomenon, one that I never expected to see.

But when I was expecting them to be eaten up by the fire and turn into ash, a new change occurred.

“This…” Amidst my shock, I saw all the Reapers engulfed in fire straighten up, look so damn healthy before raising their heads and roar in such an insane way.

Then they started to move. As if they got a hidden order from some mysterious power, they flashed with fire engulfing their bodies, heading towards my soulers.

“That’s bad!” Just seeing their direction made me realise what was coming to my precious soulers. What the heck went wrong in my soulers’ heads to leave behind such an enemy and not care even to finish them off?

This… This was the first flaw and mistake my soulers ever committed! I never saw them act this way before. Don’t tell me it was all thanks to meeting those Reapers, relatives from a distance away!

However even if I knew the disastrous outcome that was coming to my soulers, these Reapers seemed to gain additional boost and moved at such insane speed that they even rivalled the speed of my soulers.

They didn’t give me any time to act! And just when I was on the thought of calling everyone back, I saw them flash through my boys.

Tsk! What a regret!

As I stood in regret, I watched a miracle playing through just in front of my eyes, one that I never dared to even imagine!

These Reapers passed through my soulers just like I saw them do many times already. Yet unlike what I expected, they didn’t stop and turn their weapons at my boys.

Instead they kept flashing and then passed through other enemies around my soulers. They didn’t stop after passing and kept flashing through the enemies.

What the heck was going on here? Were they trying to run away? Run away through the thickest part of this huge messy battle?!

I couldn’t tell until a new change occurred, and this was the miracle that let my jaw drop!

Just as this was the densest part of this hectic battle, there were a huge number of lords’ soldiers fighting many Reapers.

Just as the Reapers engulfed in fire passed through, the ones they hit suddenly stopped moving. They seemed to have a look of horror over their faces before one after another they slammed on the ground, lying there motionless.

They were… Dead! Damn! How the hell did this even happen?

The way they did it wasn’t that much different from my soulers. However, there was a crucial main flaw in such similarity.

My soulers would kill their targets leaving behind a look of peace and freedom, a smile even would present itself quite often at the faces of the dead.

Yet the faces of those dying on the hands of those fiery Reapers was different. It was the look of true horror, like they saw the most terrifying scene before their death.

It was a miniscule difference, but it meant the two beings acted under two different fundamental ways.

Even if they looked the same from outside, they were different.

And when I watched closer, I could tell that these Reapers were just looking like my soulers. Yet they were stronger, far stronger than the regular souls IF summoned.

And the colour of their fire was different as well. They had different colours, not just the standard black coloured foggy fire that engulfed my shoulders when getting summoned for the first time, without any aid from my stat points.

Soulers look foggy, like the smoke rising up from dense fire eating up dried branches of trees and dead leaves. Yet the new Reapers got something different; it was pure fire! Just like what Lucas looked like.

What the heck just happened just now? How come the Reapers end up looking in such a similar way like my soulers?

I tried to get a reasonable explanation, yet I needed time and more observation and testing before reaching out to any conclusion.

I looked, and soon enough I got that the contagious effect of my soulers was passed down to the new Reapers. Yet the latter were much more efficient and faster in taking control of the other Reapers than my soulers.

The fire threads stretched between my newly acquired Reapers and standard ones. And in less than a few seconds, the fire would break and turn into vines that would seep faster into the bodies of their targets.

This happened much faster than it happened back when my soulers did it. And this made this fight turn into a childish play.

Watching all this happening and unfolding in such a manner made pinpoint a troublesome matter that I didn’t notice before.

Why were they attacking their fellow Reapers and other enemies around? It didn’t look like I gave them any order or something.

There was a single explanation left, and to ascertain it I opened my inventory. And there I found new and weird looking tokens waiting for me there.

Damn! So it was true!!

Just seeing a proof in front of my eyes wasn’t enough to contain my shock. What happened wasn’t just to give the Reapers the same powers as my soulers.

They also turned into my warriors! And they inherited the will of the soulers, even the orders I gave last were passed down to them.

Damn! How cool was this?!!

I turned my eyes around. And all of sudden facing this scary Berry turned from such a gamble into a great chance.

Berry… Please take note of me… Please drive all your armies of Reapers and bring them over to fight me. Like this I’d end up swallowing all of your forces, and perhaps your grand empire on top of it.
