Wrath

These men raped, tortured, and killed all these women and did not even budge, they felt like they did not do anything wrong. They were the kind of people that his master meant. Finally, any thought of feeling bad about killing these men that he had before disappeared.

He looked around and saw the corrupted souls of these people and did not know how to help because he knew they could not leave anymore and were destined to stay here forever. He thought for a moment then tried absorbing the corrupted souls of the women, as he absorbed the last one, he heard her say " Please take care of my son"

He was confused but did not focus on that. He then tried to merge them and noticed that it would work. He continued the process, the corrupted souls kept on merging with each other again and Midas heard that voice again "Please help me to save my son"

Midas looked at the soul that spoke and noticed that it still held a bit of intelligence so he decided to experiment and make it the main mind, but he first asked "Where is your son?"

"He's around here. I cannot see him here among us. That means he has either left or he never died but I don't think he is dead, mother's intuition so he is most likely alive. Please save him" She said

Midas was still merging souls as he spoke to her and now it was finally her turn so he just said "I will try my very best to save him"

Midas merged her soul to the entire mass of throbbing souls, as it was trying to shape itself, it formed a cocoon-type thing and the writhing stopped, it was silent for a while so Midas chose to do other things while he waited.

He walked up to the bodies and tried to check if anyone was alive and lo and behold, he felt a very weak heartbeat underneath the body of a woman, he hovered to where the body was and lifted the dead woman's body off the live person. He saw a boy of about thirteen years of age, wounds all over his body had yellow pus coming out from them, some broken bones, and purple discoloration on his skin, indicating he had internal bleeding also. It was quite shocking that this guy was still alive, he brought out some salve he got from the beast king's cave, mashed it up, and started rubbing it on the boy's body then poured it in his mouth and after a while, the boy's complexion became better and the yellow pus started to clear, the discoloration started to disappear, bones started to heal. Midas saw the boy was out of the woods and noticed that the cocoon was about to rip open so he went back into his soul space to take a look.

The cocoon opened and within it burst out a soul with pressure equivalent to that of the manticore. Midas quickly summoned the new soul.

As she came out, she was two meters tall, she was not burly but she had muscles, she had raccoon patches on her eyes, but they looked jagged, she also had sharp claws and fangs and she wore a black skinsuit. The weirdest thing about her was the fact that she was not dark green like the other summons but she was reddish black. She stood as she stared at Midas then she bowed before him "Master" she said.

Midas was baffled as this was the first time any of his soul summons spoke to him "You can speak?" He asked

"Yes master, I do not know how. The last thing I remember was you saying you would try your best with my son and now then I was here" She said with a voice that sounded too deep to be a woman but too high to be a man's voice, it was just in between.

Midas was ecstatic, then he looked at her and said "You name shall be Wrath, you would be the very first of my seven demon generals. You shall use the anger of an undeserved end to bring destruction to your enemies and fear to the ears of the masses"

She bowed and said "I shall be your wrath, Master. All shall fear when they hear your name, and I shall be the last thing the enemies shall see"

Midas was happy with Wrath then remembered and said "Your son is laying down over there, you can go check on him"

Wrath was pleased as most of Wrath's personality was still based on the boy's mother. She walked up to the boy, carried him in her arms then hugged him "I'm sorry I could not take care of you and I hope you have a better life ahead of you but do not worry, even though I am dead, mommy will always be watching over you and protecting you."

The boy was roused up from sleep when he heard what was said, he looked at the strange woman that resembled his mother "Mom, what happened to you? Are you okay?" He said quite nervously

"Do not worry about me. The good thing is you are alive so you have to take care of the master as he saved your life" Wrath said sadly

The boy was smart enough, as he looked around and understood his mother was gone, he just did not understand how she could talk to him but he nodded anyway. He slowly moved away from his mother's arms and kneeled before Midas and said "Daren greets young master"

Midas looked at Wrath then at Daren then back at Wrath again, and then he sighed as he already promised one of his soul summons.

"Okay, get up. We have to leave here. I still have important things to do."

Daren stood up and then looked surprised as Wrath picked him up and carried him on her shoulder. He was not fully recovered so he could not walk properly and she did not want Midas to waste energy carrying her son so she just did it herself.

Midas looked at the bodies of the dead and threw a wisp of flame on them, the corpses were all engulfed in the flames till they became ashes. Midas stored all the loots of the bandits in his soul space and then left the place.
