I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world

"Dante, you will look back on this day as the day your life change-"

But before The Corpse Master could finish his sentence, he suddenly froze.

Something was off.

The Corpse Master instantly turned around only to be greeted with two giant Dragons glaring at with murderous eyes as an approaching claw suddenly enlarged!

"BOOM!"

The world shook as an explosion of red, and silver blinded the eyes of any onlooker.

In the last moments before the attack, the Corpse Master Master still asking one question:

'why?'

The Corpse Master just couldn't understand it!

If Dante cared about Rebecca so much, then why would he throw away the only chance to save her?

But what was only a cause of confusion was as clear as day to Dante.

Threats?

He would never succumb to them!

Non in this world were fit to threaten him, not with Rebecca nor with anything else

All threats could only result in one thing,

Death!

And now The Corpse Master would have to bear the full brunt of such conviction

Blow after blow rained down on the unprepared corpse Master as Dante sent him crashing towards the ground, Walls, floors, and even people! Nothing was spared as Dante brutally smashed into the ground, descending through and destroying everything in the bandit fortress.

Eventually they reached the ground floor but instead of stopping, they crashed straight through it, eventually stopping and creating a humongous crater in a new cave like system.

As Dante looked around, he could see that every cave was covered in a strange, red glow. It was unsettling, but that wasn't even the most disturbing thing that Dante saw in this twisted space

As Dante looked around to see tens of thin malnourished individuals. Men, women, children and even the elderly, all members of society could be found here. The few things these people all had in common were their traumatised sunken eyes and thin skin that basically stuck to their frail bones with them a tied in thick metal chains.

The moment Dante landed, all of these sunken eyes turned and locked onto him.

But even with this, Dante's attention wasn't locked onto them for long as soon it was captured by an even more horrifying sight . An enormous pool of blood!

The pool of blood was massive with at least the size of a swimming pool in his life. Dante wasn't an innocent person anymore. He had brutally slaughtered nearly thirty bandits back at the City Lord's mansion, but even he couldn't hide the disgust he felt at the blatant disrespect for life.

And this was without even mentioning the strange e totem that rose out from the pool of blood could be seen radiating a strange blasphemous aura.

"this?" Muttered Dante in disbelief.

Dante then picked up the battered body of the corpse master as he grasped his throat once again

"What on Earth is this?" questioned Dante

But in response to Dante's question, the corpse master just laughed

"Keke! Cough!"

"This is the glory of my Lord. Through their sacrifice, my Lord will once again walk amongst the mortal men."

As Dante turned back to look towards the people, he could see others in a black robe holding onto some bloodied butcher's knives.

From the bloody, murderous aura radiating from them, Dante instantly knew their role.

Executioners. slaughterers whose only job was to kill the people brought here and provide the blood for this sickening pool

From the moment Dante's eyes locked onto these executioners, they were quickly plunged into his aura of Dragon fear.

Under such an overwhelming presence, the executioners could barely even maintain their sanity with some going as far as to wet themselves

As Dante looked at the scene, he scowled in disgust

With a wave of his arm, streams of fire shot out,instatly consuming these wretched individuals

Their tragic screams shook the cavern

"Please Corpse Master, save us!"

But no matter how much they screamed and writhed,  all attempts they made were survival were futile. They could do nothing but watch as their bodies were burnt to nothing but ashes.

As Dante watched their slow demise, there was no change in his expression.

These were individuals that had taken part in such a tragic butchering of life and, even if we ignore this fact, there was still the biggest sin that they committed. Being Dante's enemies in the first place!

From the moment they had become Dante's enemies. Their tragic fate was sealed.

Soon Dante turned towards the Corpse Master in his grasp.

"You're next,'' said Dante as his cold eyes narrowed

But in response to this threat, the corpse Master just smiled.

"Are you really sure you want to kill me? Your little friend doesn't have much longer to live.

But it was Dante's next response that left him speechless

"She may not live long, but at least she will live longer than you."

With saying anymore words, flames suddenly burst from Dante's hands.

The Instant he saw this, The Corpse master's confident facade finally broke but by the time he wanted to beg it was already to late as the terrifying flames had already begun to slowly but surely consume the corpse master.

But before he died, the corpse master still managed to cough up his last words

"My Lord.... He will avenge me"

Dante just sneered at the dying man's threats until he all that was left in front of him was a pile of ashes and a bunch of charred bones.

dusting his hands of the remaining ashes on them, Dante looked at Rebecca in his arms.

During the short time Dante had spent dealing with the Corpse Master, her condition has worsened considerably .

Her veins black had contorted and twisted even further and spread throughout her body, whilst most of her skin had turned a sickly shade of grey.

Dante knew that Rebecca didn't have long left.

he would only be able to something once he unlocked his next dragon soul .
