Ronald couldn't help but panic internally as he watched the spirit devourer Iris's soul fragments little by little.
Even though he had a strong feeling that Iris had planned for this creature to devourer parts of her soul, he couldn't believe she was actually willingly doing something this insane.
And simply for what?
Strength? Blessing? Power?
None of those outweigh a fraction of a soul!
A soul is a soul after all!
It might not seem like a big deal at first since people can still survive and live in their physical bodies as long as they still retain a fraction of their soul, however, there is so much problems that can stem from a damaged soul that he couldn't even fit them all on a list.
The two key things to note, though, are that cultivators with a damaged soul can't progress beyond a certain cultivation realm, and that a damaged soul is much harder to refine.
