Second mission: Corrupted Heroes 2

The time has come and his reap ghost skill was ready. It would be best to reap them as soon as possible. Kenji prepared the skill and then reaped them. Their bodies laid there on the ground and they felt screaming and pleading to be extracted.

Reap ghost!

Their souls were awakened and purified by the skill. Their bodies laid there untouched and the impurities and evil essence were removed as the skill goes to extract them. The soul then was cleansed and their ghosts appeared. They only said, "Thank you" before they were absorbed. Their pure essence and the very soul was extracted and went to his Soul Abyss. The soul went inside him and then rested inside. In which the space where the souls extracted goes.

He immediately went to see the Soul abyss and he saw the three there.

[Soul Abyss]

Current space: 3 Ghosts

Current prowess: Summon them in 10% of their prime as Ghosts (Level 1)

1. Sword Saint

2. Legendary Ranger

3. Arc Mage

.....

As per Kenji have observed, they were a balanced team or party. They consist of class types such as a Warrior, Assassin, and, Mage. The ones that were not mentioned class types were Guardian, Dark Mage, and, Shape shifter. Making the party that consist of their roles a balanced and well coordinated team.

Kenji and Merlin went back to Amara and then she was happy that the mission was successfully accomplished.

"I thank you for the favour that you two made for me. With that, I gave you a skill page. I am happy that my children were now cleansed from evil and their tortured soul were in peace.

"Lastly, I ask again, a last favour to ask. There is an evil within the Graveyard Catacombs. I can sense their evil souls even I am here within these walls. The fallen Villains that were corrupted in the past. They were Heroes of the past that accompanied my children to defeat the Primordial Evils.

"They were acquaintances and made a pact to make a party and united as a team to defeat the evils after realising that they need to save their world from the evils.

"They defeated the 3 Primordial Evils and sealed them in the heart of the Strongest Angel in might and sheer will–Thyriel. In which his soul was sacrificed to seal the Evils. It needed to contain a strong soul and body as a container or prison, in which no mortals could ever take the burden.

"After 1000 years, he was about to lose in the battle of wills and mind. Then his soul was broken repeatedly to lose sanity but again, he rose again like it was nothing and repeat for 1000 years.

"But every beating of his soul, there was a small crack that was made, making the evils to smile as they know now the weakness of the seal.

"Still Thyriel's will was ever strong, stronger than before. And the beating became even stronger, stronger each time. It repeated for years, hundreds, till a thousand came.....

"His soul was wearing down and the crack became huge enough to be detected by Hell itself. His Holy Aura dimmed and his soul broken, making it a weakness.

"Until the prison was detected after Thyriel's soul was broken, the seal was waning and the Hell Generals attacked them. Making the evils to let loose.

"He was guarded by Seraphims that has flaming swords but the Primordial Evils fought them and the guards were killed.

"His sacrifice was almost useless and the evil could not be contained even for another thousand years. Was it even the right wisest choice? Even I, Amara, that lived a thousand years don't know.

"The thousand years that I battled the evils were only felt like a blink of an eye. The Arc angel was corrupted and all evils went loose, Thyriel walked again the world only to become an empty husk of his former self. If you have time, find him and help him recover. It will be my eternal gratitude if you will help him find his former Glory.

Amara, shook and her body trembled. Just mentioning the past was enough torture for her soul. Kenji sympathise with her troubles and then comforted her.

Kenji simply sighed and smiled, "I Kenji, sworn to end this Evils once and for all. Mark my words!"

Amara was reignited and her hope has once more awakened. Though her eyes waned and did not take it seriously. "Just do your best and fight strong. Tarry now and defeat this evil once and for all." She mentioned then Kenji ripped his skill page.

Kenji used it to the Reap Ghost and his Soul Abyss expanded to 6 Spaces. Making it prepared for the other 3 Heroes that were fallen that he will collect in the next mission. Now his Reap Ghost was Level 2! That also made the prowess to 20% from their prime!

It was then, Kenji realised that they were unarmoured and defenseless. They should visit the shop for their immediate need.

Kenji and Merlin immediately went to the blacksmith and asked for armor for them to use. Kenji saw the Blacksmith and was surprised. It was a female beauty but was packed with abs protruding from her crop top leather armor.

She just took off her apron and saw her muscles refined by her laborious work.

"I am Arci, the blacksmith all you need in this camp. The heroes are now slain thanks to you and they will never bother the camp again.

"After defeating the Primordial Evils, they became Heroes of this small humble village. But they were corrupted right after that. Seems evil is not easily vanquished as they fought their own demons in their minds for many days! It was short lived though, as they were entirely corrupted."

Kenji was also saddened by the news that she heard. And felt sympathy from her. It was an arduous plight to defeat the corruption of the evils that has spread in the lands. Not even the Mightiest Heroes or Arc Angels could contain the evil within themselves.

They bought hardened leather armor for the two of them. Bracers for the arms and feet and as for the robes for their class, they went to Lux Von for a Mage Robe for Merlin and Necromancer Robes for Kenji.

The Mage Robes has 10% cooldown reduction while the Necromancer robes has 10% damage amplification. Both robes has enchanted regeneration to Mana with 1 mana regeneration per second and +50 mana points. Lux Von gave them as he was glad with their successful mission recently. He said that it was an investment.

With that, they went to the next mission, the corrupted Heroes that will soon become his Summons, armed with better clothe fittings than before.
