When Vlad summoned the spirit of his own soul, he was surprised by his appearance and strange personality.
“W-Wha…?! I expected to see the Heavenly Demon, but this thing isn’t him!”
He had imagined the Heavenly Demon would materialize out of his soul; however, that was far from the truth. The “thing” that came out of it was much scarier!
“HEHEH… HEEEHEEE…!”
And it even laughed creepily! Chris, Gofumina, and Emer...

Vlad felt his heart constantly beating rapidly, not his own, but the heart of his soul.
He even began to rapidly grow tired, as he started sweating constantly and his pale skin became completely red; even steam was being released from his body.
“W-What’s going on?!”
As he was about to get a bit worried, the process was finished.
His energies settled down, and his soul heart ...

“Redeye, are you going to introduce me to your friend? Is she part of your family as well?”
The tall, muscular Egyptian man had a rather strong aura, acting high and mighty even before the Saurians, who looked much stronger, bigger, and more intimidating than he was.
He oozed confidence, something that was strange, seeing how Saurians despised all humans so much… Even if Redeye said that it was because they were highly technologically advanced, it still doesn’t...

Once Vlad created the Bone Golem, it immediately started moving.

I noticed Mursha looking at the girls with their lost Martian technology cube.
“I truly don’t get the appeal of such technological things… Isn’t it better to just explore a vast landscape, walk over the grass barefooted, and hunt down mighty beasts rather than look at the insides of a boring trinket?” She wondered, acting slightly arrogantly, if that was her warrior’s pride talking.

I discovered it was possible to use Shiro’s fur as a Holy and Angelic-type material for the forge, and for demonic-type materials, I had plenty of those from my fight in the Demon Castle, I still have a bunch of Uroboros crystalized essence, some scales, and even teeth; they’re gigantic.
I still am thinking what to do with them, though; Hilda definitely cannot work on them yet; she still has to progress a lot more before she can begin using Constellation body parts—no ...

With Bloodclaw’s guidance, we found an entrance to the underground city of the Martians, which were nothing more than old ruins by now. The stairs looked rather old but worked just fine; the stone they were made of had barely degraded, although everything else had done so, I believe.
“Wow, this is like in the movies where they explore ancient ruins!” Orion said happily as he walked downstairs very quickly.

“Aaah! E-Eh? Ohhh?! I-I’m back… I’m alive?! I’ve been revived!”
There she was, Bloodclaw was revived, and she was immensely happy; the villainous Saurian Queen laughed, moved her arms and legs, and hit the ground with her large tail.
She was taller than I imagined, over three meters tall; her body was very slender compared to the other Saurians, with wide hips; she had no breasts, though; Saurians weren’t mammals after all.
Her slender figure and he...

I guess this is Mars, the home of Martians, an ancient, almost extinct race of people.
