Chapter 246: Dragon-Shaped Puppet! A Gift from a Mysterious Power?After Beelzebub recovered, the first thing she thought of was to check on Toru.
She felt terrible.
This was because when she was recovering her magic power in her room, she suddenly could not sense Toru"s existence and the soul contract between her and Toru had disappeared.
It was most likely caused by that mysterious power.
Or it was because of the loss of her magic power that caused the contract to disappear.
On the other hand, Beelzebub could roughly guess Toru"s current situation.
Being attacked by such a terrifying power, even Beelzebub would go crazy, and the situation of Toru, who was much weaker than Beelzebub, was even worse.
In fact, it was true.
When Beelzebub teleported herself to Toru"s room, she saw a body that looked like a statue.
Beside the statue, there was some blood and scattered stone chips.
Obviously, it was Toru who had been corroded by the mysterious energy.
It could be thought that Toru had suffered a great deal of pain before.
When Beelzebub saw Toru"s condition, she was shocked.
She had originally thought that Toru had died or had lost a great deal of his power, but she had never imagined that Toru"s soul had been directly extracted by that mysterious energy.
Extracting souls was something that even the twelve demonic G.o.ds could not do and the twelve demonic G.o.ds corresponded to an existence at the seraph level.
What was even more terrifying was that the owner of that power was in a different world in the distant demons and G.o.ds battlefield, and had completely extracted Toru"s soul.
It was simply sensational!
Beelzebub approached Toru and carefully examined him.
In the end, she was even more shocked.
Toru"s soul had been perfectly extracted, and there was not a single bit left.
The demonic power in Toru"s body had also been completely removed, leaving no trace.
What remained in Toru"s body was only the brand Beelzebub had left in Toru to control Toru.
Moreover, that brand had been strengthened a lot.
Beelzebub discovered that Toru had been transformed into a puppet that could grow.
The puppet possessed all of Toru"s powers and talents.
The only difference between it and the original Toru was that it had lost its soul.
Now, it could only act under Beelzebub"s command.
Beelzebub also discovered that Toru"s original soul brand had become the brand that controlled the puppet.
Now, it only lacked the drive of magic power, so it did not appear.
Beelzebub injected some mana into the brand.
In the end, she found that Toru was now completely like her own body.
Moreover, she could control Toru to form dragon scales.
It was not difficult for her to release demon-exclusive magic.
That was because the puppet could also absorb mana and cultivate.
Beelzebub felt that the level of the brand was more direct, purer, and more advanced than the soul brand she applied on Toru.
Beelzebub"s original goal was to completely control Toru, but now, it was actually achieved through a small brand.
That power gave her a surreal feeling.
If she could apply that puppet brand, she could summon a powerful demon army that would never betray her at any time.
However, Beelzebub felt that she had been humiliated.
That brand seemed to be mocking Beelzebub"s poor branding skills.
At that level, her control of power had reached the peak.
This was beyond Beelzebub"s understanding.
Beelzebub"s body began to tremble uncontrollably. Even if she tried hard to suppress it, she could not.
This was because after seeing Toru"s miserable state, she understood one thing.
The owner of that mysterious power seemed to be toying with her.
It was impossible for that level of power to enter Toru"s body through the soul contract in her body just because Beelzebub casually guided it.
It was completely intentional!
The miserable state where Toru"s soul was completely extracted could happen to Beelzebub.
As for the brand that was reinforced in Toru"s body, it could be the owner of that mysterious power showing off his power, or it could be that the owner of that power was making a deal with Beelzebub.
In other words, buying and selling by force.
The mysterious power had taken Toru"s soul and magic power, and Beelzebub was a more loyal and reliable servant.
It seemed ridiculous, but it was not impossible.
The world of the strong was always so free and easy.
Ordinary people could not imagine it at all.
Beelzebub felt a deep sense of powerlessness and fell to the ground.
That feeling was the feeling of her soul being taken away at any moment.
If it was not for the mysterious power that let her go for some unknown reason, Beelzebub would have ended up like Toru sitting on the bed.
If she lost her soul, she would be basically no different from death.
Moreover, the master of the mysterious power was even more extreme.
Not only did he take away her soul, but he also used the flesh of the dead.
This was even more vicious than the way demons destroyed souls and flesh.
Beelzebub, who was sitting on the ground, felt an unprecedented fear.
What was the purpose of that mysterious power letting her go?
Why did it take away her and Toru"s demonic power? Was it a warning or a casual act?
Beelzebub could not figure it out at all.
Out of fear, her body was covered in cold sweat. She had just recovered her strength and magic power, but under her state of fear, she had lost more than half of it.
Compared to this feeling of fear and powerlessness, it seemed that turning back into the form of a giant fly was nothing.
Beelzebub simply laid on the ground to recover her strength and the magic power in her body.
Lying on the ground, Beelzebub could not help but look at Toru.
He was a rather strong dragon warrior.
If it was not for his soul being extracted, Beelzebub thought that Toru"s future achievements might even surpa.s.s hers.
Beelzebub could not help but sigh.
Not long ago, that Toru also said that he would seek revenge against the Dragon Queen, Sarafini, but now he had died a violent death.
Beelzebub soon saw the tear mark at the corner of Toru"s eye.
When she saw the tear mark, he felt a sense of sadness.
Beelzebub did not know how much pain Toru had suffered at that time, but she knew that the moment Toru"s soul was taken away, he must have been very desperate.
Beelzebub closed her eyes in pain.
Moreover, crystal tears also fell from the corner of her eye.
Beelzebub, one of the demons of the seven deadly sins who viewed life as nothing, actually shed tears. This was an incredible thing.
Beelzebub"s heart was filled with guilt, and for the first time, she had doubts about her own power.
After a moment, Beelzebub began to try to calm herself down.
She calmed down and thought at the same time.
Although her mind was not calm, without the influence of the mysterious force, Beelzebub soon entered a meditative state.
