Nielas Aran’s actions were very strange. After sitting on the floor for a while, he stood up and began to walk around the room. After walking for a while, he sat down and began to mumble to himself. Basically, he kept repeating these actions over and over. Anyone could tell that something was wrong with him.

In fact, this was the case. Nielas couldn’t leave this room at all. Although his soul resided in the present world in the form of a ghost, he was bound to this room. After any intelligent life died, if their soul couldn’t go to its destination and remained in the world, it would inevitably slowly dissipate. This room allowed Nielas’s soul to continue existing, but it also turned him into an existence like an earthbound spirit.

He was trapped in this room day after day, year after year. In his ghost state, he couldn’t eat, sleep, or even touch most objects in the world. This boring life was actually torture. Any longer, and even his soul would go crazy.

Perhaps only the thieves who broke into Karazhan once in a while could bring him some fun…

When Nielas heard footsteps coming from the entrance, his lifeless eyes finally regained some brightness. He held his staff tightly and looked at the door, wondering if some thieves had broken into Karazhan again. But when he saw the figures at the door clearly, his pupils immediately constricted!

He never expected that three demons would appear in the room this time! And they looked very powerful!

Roy walked in with Julia and Benia. He looked at the nervous Nielas Aran with interest and sized him up.

For Nielas to be chosen by Aegwynn as her husband and give birth to a child with her, he naturally had its merits. He looked tall and mighty, and his chiseled face looked very upright and handsome. If not for the mage robe on him, Roy might have thought that this man was a paladin.

“G-get out of here!” Nielas said nervously. “This isn’t a place you should come, demons!”

Roy chuckled and ignored him. He turned around and began to check the layout of the room. Although he felt that Nielas was most likely the ‘key’ he was looking for, he didn’t ignore this room and carefully sensed the spacetime fluctuations here.

On the other hand, Benia stared intently at Nielas, attracted by the smell of this court conjurer’s soul. She couldn’t help licking her lips, feeling a little greedy.

“It’s a high-quality soul…” Benia whispered to Roy. “Darling, why don’t I interrogate him and see if I can obtain any useful information?”

“Up to you.” Roy nodded.

However, when Nielas heard what Benia said, his expression changed drastically. “Don’t even think about it!”

Even though he could feel the huge disparity between him and the three demons, he didn’t lose his courage. His pride as a mage made him unwilling to wait for death, so he immediately attacked Benia. A series of large fireballs shot at her in an instant.

Unfortunately, Benia’s succubus whip easily scattered his spell! They couldn’t even get close.

Benia’s long whip coiled around Nielas’s soul body and pulled him over with a flick of her wrist, making him unable to resist the entire time.

Perhaps when Nielas was alive, he had been a mage with outstanding talent, but he had died too early and failed to fulfill this talent. Although he had the title of a court conjurer, in his soul state, he didn’t actually have much strength. He no longer had a physical body, so he naturally didn’t have magic circuits. His so-called magic was actually released by extracting the magic power existing in this room. It might not be a problem to deal with some thieves, but it was too far off from dealing with a demon lord like Benia.

Benia kicked Nielas to the floor and then stretched out a foot to step on his soul body, making him unable to struggle at all. She looked down at him and said with a smile, “Mr. Mage, do you mind telling me some things about you?”

Seeing the light of magic power shining in Benia’s eyes as she spoke, Roy knew that she had already activated her succubus talent ability and was bewitching Nielas. She hadn’t used this ability for a long time.

As expected, after Nielas looked into Benia’s eyes, the nervous and vigilant expression on his face gradually relaxed. His eyes became blank, and he said unconsciously, “Okay, beautiful lady. What do you want to know…”

With the question and answer session between Benia and Nielas, he slowly told them everything that had happened when he was here, including the scene of him appearing here after his soul consciousness awakened, how many times Medivh had been here, how many creatures had broken into here, how…

But Roy didn’t hear anything unusual or useful.

Benia clearly realized this and frowned. She looked at Roy, and he understood what she meant, so he nodded at her.

Benia lowered her head again and said to Nielas, “Look into my eyes…”

As Benia finished speaking, she increased her magic power output, and the light in her eyes became dazzling.

To put it bluntly, the succubus’s Charm skill was a kind of mental control, a subconscious exploration of the target. When used normally, it would make the target put down their psychological defenses and follow Benia’s guidance to speak out about the matters in their memories. If she used Charm in the form of overloading, she could go deep into the target’s mental world, forcibly dig into the target’s subconscious, and even see some things that the target had forgotten.

Of course, such overloading was definitely risky. People with weak mental will would have their will collapse because of this forced excavation. Benia had only used it on Nielas after obtaining Roy’s permission.

As Benia forcibly entered Nielas’s mental world, his soul body began to flicker, showing signs of instability. His eyes were emitting white light, and even his body was twisting uneasily.

Julia observed Nielas’s condition nervously, afraid that Benia would accidentally break his soul before digging out the information.

Fortunately, this situation didn’t occur. A moment later, Benia’s power gradually weakened, and Nielas’s soul slowly stabilized.

“How is it?” Roy asked when he saw Benia looking up again.

“Praise me, Dear!” Benia hugged Roy’s waist and showed off. “I found what you wanted!”

Roy pinched the tip of her tail, making her cry out in surprise. “Stop messing around. Let’s get down to business first!”

“Okay!” Benia mumbled. “We guessed right. The thing we’re looking for is in this room…”

With that, Benia coiled Nielas up, stretched out her claws, and placed them on his head. With a surge of magic power, she compressed his soul body into a soul ball!

Then she placed his soul in the middle of the room, went to the bookshelves, and searched carefully.

Finally, she rummaged through a pile of books and found five specific books. Roy looked at them curiously and found that they were all books on demonology. On the cover of each book was a large, faintly shining demon symbol.

“Interesting…” Roy smiled as he handed the book back to Benia and watched her get busy.

Benia identified the demon symbols on these five books while placing them down in specific directions. Finally, with Nielas’s soul as the center and the five books as formation points, she set up a basic pentagram-shaped formation.

After she completed the magic formation, Nielas’s soul immediately emitted intense light. Streaks of lightning burst out from the soul one after another and connected to the demon runes on the five books. These five demon runes were also activated, emitting a dazzling green and eerie light.

This was what Benia had dug out from the depths of Nielas’s memories. After Sargeras’s soul completely corrupted Medivh, he had used Nielas’s soul as a key and opened a mirror-like alternate space in this room to hide some demon items related to himself. Although Nielas was in the form of a soul ball during the ritual, he had retained memories. After returning to being a soul body, these memories were completely blocked. In other words, even he didn’t know that he had such a function.

“Hurry, Dear! This ritual can only be used once!” Benia said. “This ritual will exhaust all of Nielas’s soul power. Once his soul power is exhausted, this mirror space will completely disappear and can’t be opened again…”

“A one-time use? It really suits Sargeras’s style…” Roy sneered.

While they spoke, the mirror alternate space had completely opened. This was a slow process, and the changes in space were silent. Finally, the surroundings were replaced.

This was a space similar to the room where Nielas was. Be it the floor or the surrounding bookshelves, they were exactly the same. The only difference was the ceiling. The original room had a chandelier and a ceiling, but when the mirror space opened, the ceiling disappeared, replaced by… a boundless starry sky!

In the deep and dark starry sky, endless stars were twinkling. Roy was a little confused at first, but then he suddenly understood and gasped as he stared at the stars.

How were these stars? How was this a starry sky? The stars floating in the dark sky were the light from clusters of souls. But they were a little far away, so they looked like twinkling stars.

A hundred trillion souls were all here! They were scattered above this mirror space, moving irregularly like they were in Brownian motion.

To be honest, Roy was really shocked. He had collected numerous souls so far, but he had never seen so many souls.

This was a universe of souls!!!

After recovering from his shock, Roy remembered Benia’s instructions, so he no longer hesitated and flapped his wings to fly up.

The mirror space was so vast that after rushing into the darkness, Roy felt as though he were really in a universe. But he knew that this wasn’t a real universe, and the soul stars were not really that far away from him. So after flying for a while, he stopped and took out the Soul Attracting Flag that he used to collect souls from the system space.

After Roy held the long flag in his hand and activated it, the souls that looked like stars in the distance immediately reacted. First one or two, then dozens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands… Countless souls rushed over with Roy as the center!

Finally, these souls gathered into a vast river of stars and surged toward Roy…
