As Reign entered the 'interrogation' room, he was able to see the centaur that Wolf had dragged into the room. Compared to all the blood on Wolf's body, there was little to no blood on and around the centaur.
"He started speaking right away, I just put this fake blood on me in order for the rest of those bastards to see it," Wolf told Reign who simply nodded, fully aware that Wolf would do such things in the past simply to make the other prisoners afraid of him.
"Did you manage to find anything out about their base?"
"Well, the old demon was the first person I interrogated, he knew pretty much nothing, but did divulge some information about his demon tribe, nothing important, however," Wolf said before taking off the lab coat and sitting down on a sofa as he and Reign entered a room that was adjacent to the one he used to interrogate the prisoners.
"I mostly interrogated the elders and other members of the organization that survived for these 2 days, but I got little info from them, the normal members know very little about the organization and how to get to their base without using a badge they would be given by the leader, while the elders are quite stubborn and wouldn't divulge anything, even after I spent hours trying to make them talk."
"I never thought they would be that loyal to their organization." Reign said with wonder before Wolf shook his head.
"They're not, the leader had placed some kind of restriction in their souls, they can't talk about anything, otherwise they would die."
"It's not as powerful as before thanks to the fact the leader is gone, but it's gonna take some time before the restriction is gone and we can finally get information about their headquarters."
"About the leader." Reign suddenly said as Wolf sighed.
"Yeah, about that, let's go somewhere else," Wolf said before leaving the room with Reign following behind him. Both of them made their way back to the building before going down and entering the basement where Elijah and the others were currently training.
They all flocked to Reign and Wolf upon seeing them, and it took Reign a couple of minutes to make them certain he was fine and that nothing was wrong with him, of course, also commended their efforts during battle before going to a separate corner with Wolf.
Wolf suddenly took out his sword, the same one that was used to kill the leader of the enemy organization.
The moment he took it out and stabbed it into the ground, Reign gulped.
He could sense two things coming from the sword.
The first one was overwhelming and it was something that both Reign and Wolf knew well, it was chaos energy.
After the enemy had detonated his body, the chaos energy that exploded outward partially got drawn to the sword and entered it. That actually made the strength of the sword rise from a low-grade rank SS weapon all the way to the peak of rank SS and increased its strength by a considerable margin.
It wasn't all good, however, as the power that was inside of the sword was completely switched by the chaos energy. Chaos energy is one of the most powerful sources of energy in the world, and it would erase or consume anything, including what was inside the sword previously.
Now, Wolf could no longer use the power that had been in the sword, but he did have access to chaos energy, just like he did in the past with the armor that he had gotten after they were able to kill Azar, the leader of the orcs that once ruled over a big portion of Doncaster.
The difference between that armor and the sword was the fact that the armor only held a wisp of chaos energy and it was far too weak compared to the chaos energy inside the sword. It would be like comparing a small stream to a large river.
The chaos energy inside the armor only had the function of empowering attacks and could not be used freely while the one inside the sword was different as Wolf had full access to it.
Just like how it was previously discussed, chaos energy was extremely volatile and it was incredibly difficult to use it without suffering any consequences. Wolf knew that the appearance of chaos energy inside the sword would bring its power to a new height and he could even use the opportunity to train and even gain some understanding and mastery over using chaos energy, but he had no idea how long that would take, or if it was possible for him right now.
Still, having access to chaos energy would be an incredible benefit if he was to ever fight an opponent that was more powerful than him. Not only would chaos energy empower himself, but using it would also mean that Wolf's flames would change, transforming into chaos flames that were many times more powerful and dangerous than almost any flame in the universe, except for rare ones like the everlasting flame that Miriam has.
The real problem that Wolf was facing was not the chaos energy, however, but the second thing that both he and Reign were able to sense.
It was the soul of the enemy leader that Reign had bound to the sword.
The soul was inside the sword and the leader was able to communicate with Wolf, spewing curses and nonsense at Wolf. He wouldn't shut up, no matter what Wolf did.
Unfortunately, Reign could not destroy the soul now. He was the one that had bound it to the sword, and he had sacrificed all the souls he had gathered in order to make the seal as powerful as it could be, making it immensely difficult for him to simply destroy the seals and the soul.
Not to mention the fact that thanks to the soul being bound to the sword, it had actually managed to rise to a rank SSS weapon, the most powerful that Reign and Wolf had seen so far.
Since the enemy was the one that had summoned the chaos energy, it had not destroyed the soul that was bound to the sword and the two managed to form a somewhat symbiotic relationship. If Wolf was able to conquer the soul, then he would be able to use it as helpful when it came to controlling the chaos energy, but that was something that might be even harder to do than simply mastering using chaos energy.
"He won't stop shouting, not even for a moment."
"I don't think he even understands what happened, it's clear that what you did damage him in the brain, he's not all there," Wolf said as Reign nodded as he stared at the soul that was doing the same to him.
"I know you, you, you, you are a bastard!" The soul suddenly shouted out, not able to fully remember who Reign was or why he hated him so much.
"Do you know who I am?" Reign asked the soul as the latter started thinking, only being able to remember bits and pieces of his memories.
"You, I don't remember, but I know I don't like you, I want to kill you!" The soul said as dark red flames appeared on the sword. The soul's anger alone was enough to make the chaos flames appear, showing just how close the chaos energy in the sword had bonded with the soul.
"Yeah, this could be a problem." Reign said as he scratched his head. He never thought that chaos energy would actually go into the sword and that the soul would be able to control it slightly. That could lead to Wolf not being able to use the full power of the sword if the soul was against it, making it actually much weaker than it should be.
"So, do you have any way of fixing this, maybe forcing him to become a servant as you did to Aethion?"
"Hey, I am not a servant, I am merely helping him out because our lives are intertwined!" Aethion shouted out from inside Reign, making his voice be heard inside Wolf's head.
"Alright, alright, you're not a servant, my bad," Wolf said as he grabbed his left ear.
The shouting surprised him and he quickly apologized as he knew that Aethion would not shut up if he didn't, just like the soul that was stuck in his sword.
"I can't, the soul is not alright, I can't bond it to you, even if I did, it's debatable whether or not he would even care."
Wolf nodded to Reign before grabbing the sword. The chaos flames went away and he put it back inside the mark on his right hand before turning to Reign.
"So, what do you suggest I do?"
"Well, he barely remembers anything, so that can be used to your advantage, try to form a bond, try talking to him and perhaps making him into your friend, I mean, you can't even say it's the same person that attacked us thanks to the fact I have damaged his soul so badly." Reign said as he scratched the back of his head.
