"Baby sister!" Princess Thessalia rushed over and gave Princess Faelyn a big sisterly hug when they arrived outside the royal palace.

"Third Eldest Sister." Faelyn greeted.

While accepting her third eldest sister's warm hug, she felt her third eldest sister's hidden emotion and began to feel overwhelmed by grief once more.

The death of their family was not something easy to get over. They can be distracted and have their minds off of it, but it will always be there in the end—sticking with them for the rest of their life.

Princess Thessalia wanted to act tough in front of her baby sister, assuring her that everything will be okay with her around.

However, they shortly ended up weeping in each other's arms.

Looking at this scene, Leon decided to quietly go on ahead and leave them together for some alone time. He knew they would take up some time.

"Stay with them and look after them for me, Silver," Leon quietly said to the three-tailed silver wolf that had followed them up to the Elder Tree's crown.

"Arf, arf…" Silver mimicked Leon with a quiet response before bringing its head closer to the ground by laying down.

Seeing Silver being obedient, Leon ruffled its fur, "That's a good boy."

He shortly fished out a supreme-grade spirit stone and fed it to the three-tailed silver wolf before leaving for the Heart of Spring Chamber, which he found out to be located inside the royal palace from Faelyn on the way.

Silver did not gobble down the entire supreme-grade spirit stone that Leon was beginning to run low on. Instead, it treated it like candy and licked it repeatedly.

Shortly after Leon left the area, the Elder Tree made some movements with its branches, wanting to steal the supreme-grade spirit stone from Silver.

Silver's fur immediately stood up as it softly growled at the branches and leaves poking near it. There was no way it was going to share with the Elder Tree.

Meanwhile, Leon could hear complaints from the Guardian Spirit with his divine sense as he headed inside the royal palace to find the Heart of Spring Chamber's entrance.

"Don't worry. You can have as many as you want once we move to the Human Domain." Leon spoke to the Guardian Spirit, taking some time to pacify it.

The leaves rustled gently in response before the Guardian Spirit retracted its leaves and branches back from the three-tailed silver wolf outside the palace.

Sometime later, Leon found the entrance to the Heart of Spring Chamber and made its way down the long spiral of vine steps before reaching the big gates.

The Elf Queen, Crown Prince, and Second Princess were quickly found at the bottom of the Heart of Spring Chamber beside the rich wood essence spring.

"It is as Faelyn said, the Crown Prince and Second Princess have become berserk from the Demonic Energy contaminating this place…" Leon spoke to himself while confirming the facts from Faelyn.

After removing the Demonic Energy inside hidden inside the three bodies wrapped together, Leon stored them inside the Worldspace before recalling, "Oh right, the Demonic Energy inside the Elf King hasn't been removed either."

"This could have gone terribly wrong…" Leon thought wryly.

An extraordinary amount of Demonic Energy had been accumulated inside the Elf King.

If this Demonic Energy had made its way outside and infected the surrounding tribesmen when the Elf King's body was left unattended, it would have caused a disaster.

As Leon prepared to remove the Elf King's Demonic Energy inside the Worldspace, Maya was curiously attracted over to the bottles of Demonic Energy he had stored.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"Ah, Maya, you came at the right time," Leon paused his attempt and urged her over, "Come take a look at this. Can you tell what this is?"

"This is…" Maya studied the bottle before saying, "Isn't this just Demonic Energy?"

"I know that. I'm talking about the overbearing law infused into the Demonic Energy. You also cannot tell what kind of law it is?" Leon asked.

He had wanted to ask Maya about this, but perhaps the artifact spirit also does not know? Alas, he was just overthinking. The artifact spirit was very knowledgeable.

"This…" Maya scrutinized the Demonic Energy before her gaze turned serious and wore a solemn expression. "This is the Law of Wrath."

"The Law of Wrath?" Leon wrinkled his brows. He had never heard of such law before. No wonder he could not tell what kind of law it was.

Maya nodded.

"It's not surprising that a mortal like you don't know about the Law of Wrath. This isn't something easy to come in contact with unless you comprehend the Law of Destruction."

Leon was startled before quickly asking, "What does the Law of Destruction have to do with the Law of Wrath?"

"A lot of things, really. After all, the Law of Wrath is a specialized law of the Destruction Law. This isn't the kind of law you can comprehend unless you follow the path of the Devil." Maya explained.

"As I thought, this Demonic Energy infused with the Wrath Law came from a Devil after all, huh? But if such a strong Devil still exists, isn't this world done for?" Leon asked.

Only Great Devils could comprehend the Destruction Law. These beings were Devil amongst Devils, Divinity amongst Divinities. Who could possibly beat them?

Suddenly Leon paused and shifted his gaze over to Lumi's silently sleeping face and recalled Duna also wielded the Destruction Law.

The owner of the Wrath-infused Demonic Energy might not necessarily be a living Great Devil but a regular person or demon who had awakened one of their Devil Soul Fragment.

As if agreeing with Leon's thoughts, Maya explained, "Not necessarily. A Great Devil's body can infect the surrounding with its powerful law even if it's dead, not to mention its comprehension of laws can be consolidated into solid objects."

"Ah, like Transcendent Crystals and Celestial Sparks, right?"

"Right." Maya nodded before asking Leon curiously, "What are you collecting the Demonic Energy for anyway?"
