I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world

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

a gigantic piece of death energy staring Dante in the face.

The Blood Pool.

Even though Dante knew what to do, he couldn't help but hesitate

Despite how much Dante wanted to feign ignorance, he couldn't just ignore it.

He knew where this blood had come from

Hell! The corpse Master had even declared it himself.

The blood was a sacrifice to his supposed god.

The after effect of hundreds of slaughtered individuals.

A bloody and barbaric ritual to create strength for a higher being, and Dante had to absorb it?

Even though he wasn't the one who committed this abominable crime, Dante still felt uncomfortable. This was the blood of actual humans after all.

Suddenly, as Dante was considering his options, Rebecca's body began to shake violently.

As Dante looked down onto her face and saw it twisted in pain, he grit his teeth in frustration.

Morals or the people he cared about.

As much as Dante wanted to pretend he was a righteous man, Dante knew that if he was really forced down to it, he would always choose the people who mattered to him over anything else.

It was a greedy and selfish way of thinking, but wasn't that the nature of Dragon?

His interest over that of others.Dragons nature wasn't something that could easily be changed and Dante wasn't planning on changing anytime soon either

Carefully placing Rebecca's on the floor, Dante ignored the horrified looks of the people around him and slowly waded into the pool of blood until his head was completely covered.

"Ding!"

[New death energy source detected. Do you want to absorb?.]

"Of course."  replied Dante

That was the last thought Leon had before the pool of blood swirled, sending his consciousness into another realm.

As all this was going on, the strange totem began to glow as a light chuckle could be heard.

"What a perfect vessel"

Suddenly a shadowy phantom shot out of the pillar and directly into the pool of blood where the unconscious Dante was standing!

As the phantom entered Dante's mind it felt itself in a pure dark space. This was Dante's mindscape

Slowly but surely the phantom of dark smoke began to condense into something vaguely similar to a humanoid figure.

A handsome face with complete grey skin and occasional bone Spurs yet by far the most shocking feature was the two small burning blue flames the creature had for eyes.

As the creature formed a deep guttural laugh could be heard

"Hahaha! I, The great Duke of the ghost realm has not been forgotten by fate!

The Ghost Duke  Almost couldn't believe his luck.

Once he felt his connection with that fool Braun break,  he had thought his hopes of recovering any time soon had been dashed.

But unbelievably not only did Braun manage to bring a vessel into The blood pool, the quality of the vessel was amazing even by his standards.

When The Duke had found himself drifting into this world, he had never expected a vessel of such quality in a remote backwater lower World.

As he thought of his situation, he couldn't help but laugh at the idiocy of this poor vessel.

No matter How much damage he had received and how much he weakened, from the strength displayed by the boy, it would be impossible to put up any noteworthy resistance

With these thoughts in mind, the Ghost Duke travelled further into Dante's mind and even he was slightly startled saw.

As he entered, he could see the image of a humongous silver moon hanging in the middle of the sky.

As soon as the duke got closer to the moon a powerful icy wind could be felt blowing against his body.

"Interesting…"

A powerful yin and ice energy was being radiated from the glowing moon. It was just that contrary to the negative and vile natured yin energy the ghost duke was used to, the yin energy here was shockingly pure.

So pure in fact just being under its rays made The ghost duke slightly uncomfortable.

But the ghost duke inflorescence this and headed  further and chances upon an interesting sight

What he saw was an elf-like man seated on a throne of ice.

The man was in an exquisite royal robe whilst a shining silver crown lay on his head.

Of course this man was Dante

If one looked carefully you could see the glaring similarities between Dante's  current  appearance and the man seen on the Moon kings sutra visualisation technique.

As the Ghost duke spotted this intriguing sight he smile widened further

"I finally found you."

"And you are?" asked

"Who I am doesn't matter but you can call me duke"

So what was the need in bringing me here asked Dante in confusion

"I don't bring you anywhere, you came here yourself and you couldn't come at a better Time."

Relinquish control of your body to this duke!"

My body? Asked A confused Dante

"Yes your body m, I've Berber seen such a perfect vessel before."

"And what makes you think I would just give myself up to be a vessel"

"Boy, I think you're confused about something, Me asking you is just a formality. From the very start, you never had a choice. You will obey my will"

" Your strength is quite good for your age, but it's nothing special. My strength is beyond anything you could even encounter in such a puny world! If I want your body I can just take It."

"Oh, really?" sneered Dante

"I'd like to see you try to do just that. "

After Hearing Dante's words, Ghost duke just shake his head and sighed

"The younger generation is really losing respect for their elders. Why do you have to make things difficult and delay the inevitable?"

As he spoke, his burning blue flames shot out

As Dante saw this he smiled

"In this place I also managed to get some tricks of my own"
