CHAPTER 4261

The Devouring Demon replied, “Alright. As long as you help me purify my soul and eliminate the other consciousnesses within me, I swear to serve you.”

‘That won’t be a problem.” James nodded.

The Ignis’ amazing flames were fully capable of purifying the Devouring Demon’s soul.

“You’re a powerful person. I’ll have to plant a sigil in the deepest part of your soul to prevent you from double crossing me. If you ever betray me, I’ll activate the sigil and obliterate your soul.”

“Wait, what?” The Devouring Demon hesitated.

Giving the terms some consideration, he nodded and said,” Fine, do it.”

He gave the deal a lot of thought and came to the conclusion that it was worth the sacrifice. Even if his soul was bound by a sigil, he would not die as long as he stayed loyal to Wyot. Once his soul was cleansed, he would gain complete control over his body and would not have to worry about being overthrown by the souls within him.

The Devouring Demon urged James. “Let’s get started with it.”

“Alright.” James nodded.

James briefly explained a number of precautions for the process. Then, he set up a time formation around the two of them. The Devouring Demon sat in a lotus position while James stood behind him.

“When the Ignis enters your body, it may singe your flesh a little. I’ll control its power to ensure you’re not completely incinerated. Meanwhile, you’ll need to safeguard your own soul during this process. The Ignis might damage it slightly, but it’ll be fine as long as you can protect it well.”

James explained the procedure.

“I’m ready.” The Devouring Demon took a deep breath. He was fully prepared for what was to come.

James walked in front of him, raised his hand, and a white flame emerged from his palm. He slowly sent the flames toward the Devouring Demon.

The Devouring Demon felt scorching heat as the white flames approached him. The flames entered his body through his pores. Unable to withstand the inferno, a large portion of his flesh was badly burned.

However, the Devouring Demon gritted his teeth through the pain. The flames flowed through the Devouring Demon’s body and began burning away the other souls within him.

Throughout this time, excruciating pain wracked the Devouring Demon’s body.

His face contorted, and droplets of blood trickled down his forehead. His body was also covered from head to toe in severe burns and injuries. However, James controlled the flame, ensuring it did not incinerate the Devouring Demon’s physical body.

“Argh!!!”

“Damn it!”

“No…”

Agonized screams filled the Devouring Demon’s mind. The extra souls in the Devouring Demon wailed in agony as they met their ends.

While performing the soul purification, he planted a special sigil in the Devouring Demon’s soul. The sigil could only be etched into one’s soul through given permission and could not be done forcefully.All rights © .

Once it was embedded, the sigil was irremovable no matter how strong the Devouring Demon was. If he were to try to remove the sigil, it would explode, and immediately burn away his soul.

James used Ignis to slowly purify the Devouring Demon’s soul. The other consciousnesses in his body were purged, making the Devouring Demon’s soul pure.

As the other souls were burned away, the Devouring Demon’s mind became clearer, and he recalled some memories from his past life.
