Three days later.

The sun was shining brightly over Bourbon Academy. The sky was a perfect, clear blue. The main courtyard was crowded with students. They were laughing, talking, and carrying their heavy books to their morning classes.

Adam stood near the edge of the courtyard, leaning against a white marble pillar. He was wearing his long black coat. He liked to watch the crowd. He liked to see the magical auras of the students. With his newly evolved eyes, he could see the flow of magic every

    Adam’s soul finally cracked. It did not crack from damage. It did not break because it was weak. It cracked the way a dragon's egg cracks right before the beast comes out. It was not a break of destruction. It was a break of release.A bright, glowing purple screen flashed across Adam’s vision.[Criteria Met.][Extreme Magical Energy Directed at Host.][Soul Architecture Expanded.][Second Gate Unlocked: The Gate of Hunger.]The message disappeared. As the Blade of the Dawn came within one inch of Adam’s neck, Adam triggered his new power.[Skill Activated: Mana Devourer Aura.]Instantly, the entire room plunged into absolute, pitch-black darkness. It was not just the absence of light. It was the murder of light.The candles in the hallway outside instantly went out. The glowing golden spears held by the knights turned completely dark. The bright, holy light shining from Malphas’s heavy armor died in a single second.The only thing visible in the room was Julian’s glowing crystal swor

    High Inquisitor Malphas was still standing there. But the proud, dangerous Inquisitor looked completely different.The Devourer Aura had touched Malphas too. The glowing white magic that usually surrounded the Inquisitor’s heavy armor was gone. The magic in his silver broadsword had been completely sucked dry, turning the beautiful weapon into a dull, heavy piece of gray iron.Malphas dropped the heavy iron sword. It hit the floor with a dull clank.The ten Holy Knights in the hallway behind him also dropped their weapons. Their glowing spears were nothing but dead wooden sticks now. The aura had eaten the magic out of every weapon in the room.Malphas slowly raised his hands in the air. He did not bow, but he surrendered. He realized that if he tried to fight, Adam would just eat his soul exactly like he had eaten the angel fragment."You..." Malphas whispered, his voice trembling. "What are you?""I am the answer to your prayers," Adam said softly.Adam took a step forward.CRACK.

    The broken pieces of the heavy wooden door lay on the cold stone floor. The medical ward was completely silent.High Inquisitor Malphas stood in the ruined doorway. He was a man who had fought in a hundred magical wars. He had killed rogue mages, dark witches, and giant beasts. He wore the thickest, strongest holy armor in the entire kingdom. But right now, his hands were shaking.Malphas looked at the boy sitting on the edge of the broken bed. Adam Cook did not have a weapon. He was not wearing armor. He was bare-chested, wearing only simple dark pants.Yet, Malphas felt a terrible, crushing weight pressing down on his chest. It was not a spell. Adam was not doing anything. The heavy pressure was just coming from Adam’s simple presence."I think," Adam whispered again, his voice echoing inside Malphas’s brain, "you are going to have to fix the door."Malphas opened his mouth to speak, but his throat was perfectly dry. He wanted to raise his heavy silver broadsword. He wanted to sho

He understood perfectly.To build a bigger castle, you have to tear down the old one. He had to destroy his own soul's shape to let the Void expand naturally. But there was a catch. The System immediately showed another red warning.[WARNING!][Opening the Second Gate will instantly shatter the current Soul Walls.][If the Host cannot control the raw energy without walls, the Host’s physical body will instantly vaporize in the real world.][Survival Rate: 0.01%.]Adam smiled. It was a cold, dark, fearless smile. "I survived the mud," Adam said softly. "I survived the Ice Witch. I survived the Bone Dragon. I survived the Holy Seraph. Do you really think I care about a decimal point?"Adam raised both of his hands. He looked at the thick
