Chapter 1332 I win

Liam closed his eyes, immediately processing the many many thoughts and images that flooded his mind without any warning. Even though he has already processed several souls until now, this flooding of his mind with the imprint of another person's entire life was something that was difficult to get used to.

That too it was not mere memories that he had to embrace. There were also strong emotions involved. More often than not these emotions involved rage, regret, desire, vengeance, anger, sadness, and an unfathomably deep longing for the final moments of the soul to be false, hoping for just one more chance at life.

Liam was not a stranger to these emotions. He accepted them and set them aside while starting to comb through the other memories as much as he could. At the same time, he also held the soul together, trying his very best to maintain its integrity or whatever was left of it. Crawford's soul was damaged in a very different way than his own soul.

The old man's soul was split into two, something that he had willingly done to mess with him and it backfired on him big time.

Liam already had the other half but the problem was that the other half was more like a clone which did not have much information. Its fighting abilities were passable but even in that department, the clone paled in comparison to the original. He needed the whole soul. There was simply no other way. Especially this soul. He needed it badly. Crawford alone held the answers to many of his questions. More importantly, this man definitely knew where Derek was at the moment.

If he succeeds in forging this soul or at least accessing all of its memories, he would surely be able to find a breadcrumb related to Derek and finally take concrete steps in bringing back the man whose loyalty was second to none. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Liam was about to scour the soul one more time when he suddenly stopped. The soul was ready.

Even better. Once the soul was forged then he did not have to go through everything like this. He could ask the old man personally.

Liam composed himself and once again manipulated the mana around him, this time even pouring in some of the saved up juices from his dao seed of mana manipulation. A few more seconds passed by when the soul in his grasp quivered before becoming fully compressed and stable. Liam did not waste time and immediately summoned the other half of the old man that he already possessed. With one final push, he combined both the soul beads together and watched as they fused into one. The process was delicate, requiring a finesse that Liam had honed over countless hours of soul manipulation. As the two halves merged, a bright light enveloped them, signifying the successful unification of Crawford's soul.

The moment the light dimmed, standing before Liam was a fully formed soul minion without any flaws. "Welcome back, Crawford."

The old man gasped as he took in his surroundings, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Where... Where am I?" His voice was shaky, reflecting the disorientation and confusion he felt.

"You're with me," Liam replied calmly, his gaze steady on the newly formed soul minion. "Do you still remember me?"

Crawford's face instantly shifted from confusion to shock and then an unmistakable glee. "You bastard! I finally got you! I win! Ha Ha!"
