Richard glanced at the small, thin man blocking his way and shook his head slightly, saying, "I have to say, your actions are very unwise. With your strength, you can't possibly kill me—in fact, even splitting open my body has caused me no harm, at most just damaged the container holding things."
As he spoke, the wound on Richard's body opened, but instead of internal organs spilling out, an energy octopus over a meter long squeezed out, the very High Spirit that had once been "captured."
After being "captured," the High Spirit had been confined in a specially sealed body by Richard for research. Until recently, the research had been mostly completed, and Richard had given the High Spirit multiple satisfactory souls, transferring it into another body.
Richard's plan was to use it as a trump card, in case unexpected events occurred in Shaya, allowing him to adapt and use it as needed.
