"My liege, you can now will it to fight with the prisoner." Blood Reign suggested.

With a nod, Damon willed his avatar to do the same. The avatar turned its gaze toward the black-robed prisoner, who was still bound by chains but glaring with venomous hatred.

The moment Damon's will shifted, the avatar's expression changed. It wore the same cold smile Damon himself wore when he was about to dismantle someone.

The chains slithered back into the ground, fading as Blood Reign waved her hand. "Let the dance begin."

The prisoner didn't waste a second. He shot forward like a shadow, his movements sharp and unpredictable, blades of dark energy forming around his hands. He was coming straight at Damon but a barrier erupted, preventing him from coming any further.

Instead, the avatar met him head-on, its own arms rippling with condensed blood force. Their clash sent out a ripple that shattered several nearby rocks. "You cannot hold me here forever!" The black robed man seethed in anger as he shouted and took out all of his frustration at the blood avatar.

Damon's avatar barely lasted for a second before it exploded into blood specs.

"Ha Ha. I expected this." Damon awkwardly laughed. On the other side, the guy was staring at him with ruthless hatred.

"I defeated your clone. Don't you think its time for you to step inside and fight me personally? What sort of a man are you? You fucking coward! Fight me face to face if you dare!"

The black robed guy continued to taunt him for a long while but Damon only simply stood outside and smiled. "I take it I can make more of these avatars."

"Of course, my liege."

Damon tried it again and another avatar materialized before him. The black-robed man froze for half a second, then sneered. "You think another puppet will change anything?"

"My liege, you can be as involved in this training as you want. You can put things in an automatic mode where the avatar fights repeatedly and then learn all the experience whenever you have time."

"You could also directly immerse yourself and that way you would get a better training experience. The first method should give you about 10% result while the second method can give you as high as 80%!"

"I am only saying 80% because ultimately, you also need to train your muscle memory which you can only achieve physically sparring with someone in the real world, outside your soul space."

Damon nodded. Everything sounded straight forward enough. For now since he had too many things on his plate, he decided to let his avatar do some afk heavy lifting work for him. He had a lot to improve on the combat front and a 10% gain wasn't all that bad.

Not bothering to look at the duel anymore, Damon stepped out of that pocket of soul space back into the broader soul sea. "Little red, what about other objects? You brought that guy in here. Could I also bring something else here? Like an item?"

"Of course, my liege. You can use your soul space as a storage space too. That would be the most rudimentary use of the soul sea." Blood Reign did not understand why Damon would want to use the soul sea for something like this.

However, Damon grinned as if he figured out something monumental. His crimson eyes lit up like christmas. "Then Blood Reign, as long as it is my soul, I should be able to access my soul sea anywhere?"

Once again Blood Reign did not understand the question but she nodded nevertheless. "Of course, my liege. It's your soul. It's your will. No one will be able to stop you. The soul sea is bound to your essence, not your location. It is you, my liege. Wherever you exist, your soul sea exists."

Damon's grin widened. "Which means I can open it anywhere."

Blood Reign once again nodded. "Yes, my liege."

Damon's grin became even wider. This was bloody brilliant. He had finally found a fucking loophole. A big glaring loophole!

His hands were itching to immediately try it out but he stopped himself. Now was not the time. First, he was in enemy territory and second, he was keeping track of Lirae at all times. Now was really not a good time to test things.

With great difficulty he restrained himself and decided to focus on the Fairy King's coffin and the corpse. He was going to get the hell out of here and explore it but now that he could move it into his soul space, maybe he could simply do it right here.

He willed for the coffin to be transferred to his soul sea from his storage space. For a moment nothing happened but then something shifted. The Fairy King's coffin phased out of the storage ring and appeared in his soul sea.

Damon and Blood Reign both curiously looked at the thing. Then Damon suddenly decided against it and transferred it back into his storage space.

He had no idea what the hell the coffin had. His soul sea was still new and stabilizing. There was no need to risk things. After all, he might have a much bigger use for the soul sea than using it for a random purpose like this.

If he really wanted to examine the Fairy King's corpse, he could simply get out of here and go somewhere else more private. Just as he prepared to do that, Damon suddenly heard a commotion outside his room.

Alzara's voice sounded loudly. "Father, you are being rude. What would he think about me? He will think that I ratted him out. I agree with you that he is a bloodsucker but he saved me again and again back in the heaven's oasis. Is this how you want to treat someone who helped your beloved daughter in a life and death crisis?"

Damon frowned. He did not hesitate anymore and cast Blood Gate. Perhaps because the other party sensed it, they sped up and barged into the chamber in a hurry.

"Just a minute, Alzara's savior. How about you give this old man some face and talk to him before teleporting from here? I promise I won't bite."
