'Nefrisca Santo Janigmay.'

He didn't know how much time he had been using this spell, but he finally had a result. His soul had trembled from the strength of the resonance and some sort of bridge appeared from his soul towards his brain. 

He probed that bridge to find out it was connected to a strange form of energy. He tried to stir this energy and use it, but he couldn't affect it.

'Nefrisca Santo Janigmay.'

This time he focused on the energy to see the changes that occurred due to his spell. He didn't stop and continued repeating the spell one time after the other. 

After a while, this energy became restless as a tiny branch from it moved through the bridge and entered his brain.

'The system asks for permission to merge the demon energy with your Pseudo-Ro energy.'

Ibro didn't hesitate as he replied with anticipation:

'Do it.'

Ibro was watching carefully what was happening, but everything happened so fast to fully understand it. He noticed the presence of a tiny black dot that appeared in his brain for just one second. 

This dot swallowed the wisp of energy that passed through the bridge. Then, this dot disappeared as if it was an illusion. 

Before Ibro could dig deeper about this dot, the harsh sound of the system came to interrupt his focus:

'The merge had been completed successfully. The new energy form will take a few minutes to finish. My advice to you is to keep training on the spells as much as you can.'

Ibro tried to search for the dot again, but it was in vain. He couldn't find even a shadow of it. he sighed and decided to keep looking in the future. He needed to understand the nature of this 'Ro' energy.

'Nefrisca Santo Janigmay.'

He started to repeat the magic three words again. This time, he felt more energy start to move from the bridge to his mind. He was ready to look for the dot, but it didn't appear. 

On the other hand, the newly absorbed demon energy began to fill his mind completely. He didn't feel any discomfort, on the contrary, he felt his mind was sober like never before.

'Nefrisca Santo Janigmay.'

This time, when he said these words he felt a deep connection with the demon energy. When he said the spell, this energy flooded his mind and started to expand to his body. 

It felt his body in no time, then it began to move outside it. Ibro was in complete control over this energy which formed a white shiny halo outside his body. 

He couldn't keep this magical state except for a few seconds, after that he felt the dryness of his absorbed energy. The spell was broken and he felt extremely weak.

'Is this a backlash from this spell?'

'No, it's not a backlash. You just depleted your own soul force, so you became weak.'

Ibro was stupefied! Wasn't this energy the demon energy he absorbed?

'Was this energy my soul energy and not the demon seed energy?'

'It was your soul energy. The demon seed energy was absorbed partially by the Pseudo-Ro to form a higher form of energy. The remains I used to form over 100 SPR stones. 

What you used was your own soul power. Now don't think much, you need to rest for a bit before you can move again.'

Ibro didn't need the advice of the system as he had no strength at all to even argue with it. he felt his soul flame was weak to the degree it would be extinguished at any moment. 

He kept in his position for hours before he could feel his soul became stronger again. this time, he felt his soul returned more powerful than before. 

He probed through the bridge from his mind to feel surprised. His soul before was just a small stagnated pond. Now it was like a big lake with some waves in it.

'This spell had strengthened my soul!'

'Yes, to gain strength in the demons' civilization, you either absorb other energy or you train the way you just did.'

Ibro asked trying to understand more:

'What is this way meant to be?'

'It's simple, you use your soul power till it dries up, then you let it refill itself again. each dryness followed by a refilling will tamper your soul and make it bigger, stronger, and richer.'

'But… it's risky though,' Ibro commented without hesitation. If he wasn't surrounded by his army and isolated from the world by this dome, his fate would be different. This was really a risky way to train.

'Yes, it's risky. But if you compared it to the usual absorption of other demon energies, this is much safer. After all, you tamper your own soul with your own efforts.'

Ibro didn't want to argue with the system about this point. He knew best that anything had its odds and cons. Nothing was absolute and no way was always better than the other. 

Each type of the two training ways had its own conditions. If he was in a really safe place like now, then tampering his own soul would be the best option. 

If he wasn't in a completely secure place, then absorbing other demons energy would be best.

'Now, can I kill all the seeds I want without any fear from curses?'

'Yes.'

'What about the curse I got then?' Ibro recalled the final scream of that demon seed and the eternal curse it used.

'It's a middle-rank curse. It will decrease your power by 5% every week. It's also directed towards your game stats. As you don't use game stats now and use SPR instead, you don't need to worry about it.'

Ibro was relieved, but he was reminded by his game stats. When he was in the cultivation world, he could raise all the stats except for Intelligence. 

As he was now at a game world, he needed to raise his Intelligence if he could.contemporary romance

'I want to know if there is a way for me to increase my stats here.'

'Why do you want to do that?'

Ibro explained the situation he had in the cultivation world. After he finished, the system replied:

'You are thinking the wrong way. You have now PSR energy which is a higher form of energy that exceeds any other lower form of energy. 

You shouldn't think about raising your stats, you should think about raining your SPR energy.'

Ibro didn't argue as the system had a point here. Ibro had lived his recent years trying to raise his stats, it was natural for him to stick around these lower forms of energy as the system described them. Ibro then asked:

'What about the two energies merge? Has it finished?'
