Chapter 417: Chapter 417 Escape

  Having ripped Ludwik's soul from his dying body, Marcus began absorbing the great knight's soul into his own.

But along with the intense struggle to remove Ludwik's soul, Marcus now had to deal with the backlash of devouring it.

The man's strongest memories and emotions rushed through Marcus, and he saw many scenes and felt intense emotions from the man whose soul he had just eaten.

It was an almost maddening event as many years of another person's time played out in his mind and soul.

Ludwik had been a noble prodigy since birth, being born miraculously with two blessings and a natural talent for the staff and the uncommon smoke magic.

Marcus felt all of his early memories of joy and pride as his abilities as he was able to grow to the point of being stronger than his instructor by the age of twelve.
