Logan felt a sharp pain in his brain.

Dale Morgan, without thinking, turned into a soul form and shot straight into Logan's Soul Sea.

When Dale Morgan saw the size of Logan's Soul Sea, his mouth dropped open in shock. "Is this even possible for a human soul to reach?"

As a soul form, Dale Morgan scanned his surroundings and started gathering energy.

At this moment, he had no body, so he couldn't use his Blood Tree or Blood Vine skills anymore.

But after years of training, he knew exactly how to fight as a soul.

Soon, he created a huge soul blade with both hands.

"Logan! I'll be careful cutting your soul core!" Dale Morgan laughed wildly and raised the blade. "I won't hurt the soul contract or soul array you left behind. Because they'll all be mine!"

The soul blade came down, cutting right into the center of Logan's Soul Sea.

But what happened wasn't what Dale Morgan expected.

Instead of breaking, his blade was completely swallowed by Logan's soul core—no trace left.

Dale Morgan was shocked.

Then, he felt a huge wave of life energy flowing into Logan's soul core.

The soul blade he just made didn't hurt Logan at all—it was absorbed completely.

Thinking about how his hard work had turned into Logan's strength, Dale Morgan lost his cool. "This isn't possible! How can a Master-stage familiar tamer absorb the soul power of a Legend-stage one? Your life level doesn't even match!"

Logan laughed out loud at Dale's shouting, his mouth almost reaching his ears. "I really should thank you."

At that moment, the blood crystal on Logan's forehead was glowing brightly, sending a lot of life energy into his Soul Sea, fixing the damage he had taken.

At the same time, Dale Morgan's soul power was also being absorbed by the blood crystal's life energy, helping to strengthen Logan's soul core and life force.

As a result, Dale's soul form was now like a free gift for Logan—perfect food to make his soul stronger.

In addition, without Dale's control, the Blood Tree had turned into a soulless monster.

Logan gently touched the Blood Tree, feeling its huge power. He nodded in satisfaction. "Come out, all of you!"

As Logan spoke, a few Golden Ant Kings came out of his familiar space, along with the few remaining Black Ants. They carried a lot of monster eggs and climbed up the tree, starting to set up a life sacrifice ritual.

Logan knew Dale's soul power was strong. A single life crystal on his forehead wasn't enough. He needed even more life energy.

Only by using the life sacrifice ritual to take the Blood Tree's energy and absorb it completely could he destroy Dale's soul form.

With that thought, Logan endured the chaos in his Soul Sea and directed the Black Ant army to finish the ritual.

At this point, the top of the Blood Tree had lost its Inferno. A lot of Black Ants were moving around the branches, placing monster eggs into the wood.

Once the whole Blood Tree glowed with bright, colorful light, the ants all left the tree and returned to Logan's familiar space.

During this time, Dale kept shouting and screaming inside Logan's Soul Sea. He cursed Logan loudly, trying to make him come out and fight him face to face.

But Logan didn't pay attention. His focus was on the outside. His soul core was always on guard, ready to block any soul attacks.

Logan had the life crystal giving him endless energy, so he wasn't going to give Dale Morgan a chance to make one last move.

Plus, even if Dale Morgan did nothing, his soul power was slowly disappearing, mixing into Logan's body.

He was like a can of powdered milk, with Logan taking a spoonful at a time and mixing it with life energy to drink.

Realizing this, Dale Morgan panicked completely.

He tried to run away from Logan's Soul Sea, but was stopped by a constant flow of life energy.

In the end, Dale Morgan had no choice but to beg in a low voice:

"Logan! We just had a misunderstanding. Look, I did help the Human Federation before. Let me go, okay?"

"The Morgan family's wealth isn't just the Morgan Castle. If you let me go, I can make you the richest familiar tamer in the Human Federation!"

"You're still young, haven't had enough fun with women yet, right? Let me go, and I know a few succubus-like demon girl tribes deep in the Lost World. They're even more tempting than succubi."

Logan listened to Dale's begging inside his Soul Sea, then walked under the Blood Tree.

When Logan stepped onto the center of the ritual, a flood of powerful life energy poured down from the top of the Blood Tree, covering his body.

The thick life energy mixed with a bit of Fire Seed power and human belief energy, glowing softly golden as it entered Logan's body.

Soon, the life crystal on Logan's forehead changed from red to a light golden color.

After this ritual, Logan's life genes and soul core completely changed.

Even Dale Morgan, trapped deep in Logan's Soul Sea and screaming in pain, was shocked.

If Logan had just been slowly eating Dale's soul power before, now he was eating it like a hungry wolf, taking everything he could from Dale's entire soul.

In just a few seconds, Dale's soul form was washed away by golden life energy, breaking into tiny soul particles that flowed into Logan's soul core.

Dale's soul mark was destroyed by the life energy. His experiences, his knowledge, his skills, everything he owned—everything was now in Logan's mind.

It was exactly like when Logan had first merged with this body's original master.

Logan felt his own life level rising. His soul power shot up.

When he opened his eyes again, his pupils had a faint golden glow, showing wisdom and power.

He adjusted to his body. His soul power range had gone from 500 meters to 1,000 meters. His body strength, reaction speed, and cell activity had all improved a lot.

Logan tried cutting his forearm with a knife. Before any blood could come out, the wound healed in front of his eyes—less than ten seconds.

"My god, this healing power… am I becoming a living familiar now?" Logan thought to himself, then checked his level.

Not only had his soul power gone up, but his familiar tamer level had reached Legend stage1 Star.

Don't be fooled by the name. Logan knew how hard it was to reach Legend stage. It took years of training and lucky chances.

If he hadn't absorbed Dale Morgan's hundreds of years of knowledge and experience, he wouldn't have unlocked this power so fast.

Thinking about this, Logan gently touched the dry Blood Tree. "Looks like my big jump in power has a lot to do with this tree's life energy."

Logan quickly checked. He had already taken 50% of the Blood Tree's life force.

If he kept going, the tree would die completely, and the Fire Seed of the Human Federation would also go out.

Thinking about that, Logan jumped up to the top of the tree.

At the center of the tree's crown was a small flame, like a candle, flickering and giving off a powerful energy that even shocked Logan.

Seeing this, Logan understood—this Blood Tree couldn't die yet.

So, Logan called out the ghost princess Heserion and ordered, "Possess it and control the tree!"

Heserion immediately rushed into the Blood Tree.

In a flash, golden Blood Vines pulled themselves back into the tree's roots.

Suddenly, the Blood Tree's body started shrinking. A few seconds later, it was the same size as Logan.

Then, its branches split, its trunk folded, and its roots pulled in.

After a quick transformation, the huge Blood Tree turned into a full set of armor—exactly like Logan's own [Guardian of Order] set.

Logan looked at the Blood Tree armor and immediately contacted Heserion to ask what was going on.

Heserion explained that the Blood Tree and Dale Morgan had always been in a mutual relationship.

Dale gave the tree soul energy, and the tree gave Dale more life. They had lived together for hundreds of years without problems.

Also, the Blood Tree was originally a material used by strong warriors from another world to make armor. But Dale didn't want to become armor, so he kept feeding the tree, even using the Human Federation's Fire Seed to make it grow faster.

Now, without Dale's control, Heserion easily turned the Blood Tree into armor.

Even the Fire Seed that had been burning on the tree's top was taken by Heserion and placed into the core of the armor, as its power source.

Seeing this, Logan smiled and said to himself, "That Dale Morgan lived for hundreds of years just to give me gifts."

From the moment they met, almost everything Dale Morgan had was given to Logan.

Logan thought for a while, but he had never met such a generous enemy before.

"Dale Morgan is really a nice guy," Logan thought to himself, then quickly put on the Blood Tree armor.

To be honest, the armor wasn't as heavy as Logan expected. It was actually very smart.

As soon as it touched Logan, it quickly changed to fit his body.

Probably because Logan had eaten Dale's soul, the Blood Tree armor obeyed him very well.

Logan had no trouble putting it on.

Since he was standing by a lake, he looked down at his reflection and laughed, "Looks pretty cool!"
