While I press yes to accept all of the absorption notifications that pop up in my vision and watch my level surge to [Lv. 836,232], I have the experience sharing perk activated too, and feel the burst of levels rising beside me as Maria gains roughly a quarter million levels all at once too.

Waves of extremely dense purple divine threads flow through waves of aura that pour into me and begin filling up my divine core.

There isn't a drop of mana in this Demon, but the Demonic Essence and pure ether stored in all of its purple glyphs flow through my tendrils of corruption, making bulges in each strand, like a million snakes swallowing and digesting their prey.

All of the oily tendrils vibrate with Primordial Aura and Royal Vibrations that are not their own; however, with the state of disarray this Demon was in the moment it died, I'm able to suppress and conquer it with the help of all of the other resentful demons' wills.

Trillions of Demonic Glyphs are siphoned through the strands, and all of the residue in the air that was its Greater Demonic Form shatters to dust in a sparkling diamond display.

Source Resin fills the air and rotates around us as it pulls back in to settle on Maria's wings and back into her sword.

All of the black glyphs and growing corruption pull back into my chest and seal themselves away into my Royal Demon Core.

The force of the impact keeps us floating in the air, but all of the residue from the blast is gone.

All that's survived are two massive purple demon horns that fall to the ground below us.

My true core burns so hot in my chest that it feels like my grip on gravity and reality around me just increased by tens of times.

When my Royal Vibrations finally settle around my Demon's core and it is allowed to fully digest the corruption inside, another massive shockwave ripples out of me.

It is of pure white, high-quality ether.

This happened plenty of times before, giving us a boost after every Outer Guard's Core I devoured, but this one is far different.

It's thousands of times stronger.

When the wave of ether pours out, so does my newly assimilated Primordial Aura.

Not only that, but my vibrations all tighten and ripple through the air with far more purpose. Instantly, I start to understand how this First Blood was able to use so much less effort in its every movement to create a far more potent effect.

The inklings of what it means to be a High Royal start to dawn on me.

Every single Demonic Glyph Imprint that was on the outside of that First Blood's soul was crushed to dust, and its knowledge absorbed. I feel many more of both mine and Maria's Legacy awakening as this shockwave of pure, high-quality ether rushes through us.

My vision blurs to white the moment it does, carrying my mind away into this First Blood's memories.

Instantly, I feel the weight of time crushing my mind as I try to comprehend everything it's seeing.

Unlike many more simple beings in the past that have their life of memories stored neatly from the day they were born to the moment I kill them, this Demon's mind is completely jumbled up.

I can physically feel and even see mental manifestations of massive purple, white, and silver arrays holding its memories together, and even deleting parts before my eyes.
