Ice spikes shot out from within the holes and pierced through Samuel's flesh.

He groaned in pain and tried to get out but the Nether Spheres kept digging down. Finally, he managed to deflect the two spheres away, sending them up into the sky.

Just as he thought he was free. Crow jumped down from above and drove the Nether Spear down his chest.

Samuel's Chaos had gone dry and he was no longer able to resist Nether Energy. Dark veins appeared on his skin.

"Stop, Cage! Stop! I can save you! I can save all of us!"

"I need no saving,"

Crow drove the spear further down and lifted Samuel up. He threw Samuel above ground and he fell right at the feet of Mater.

The black cat tilted his head slightly, looking down at the scientist.

"You are much stronger than I realize. You must have created a Singularity already, huh?"

Samuel looked at the black cat. He didn't know what Singularity was but he knew something that could fit that term.

"You know?" Samuel said.

"Of course. It's the basic fundamentals of Chaos User anyway."

The black cat opened its mouth and sucked out all the Chaos from within Samuel. Samuel groaned loudly and was slowly dissolved into a skeleton.

One, two, three… Thirteen Chaos Spheres appeared around Mater's heart, making the total of his spheres to 29.

Along with those Chaos Spheres was one single sphere of black. That was Samuel's Chaos Singularity, a higher form of Chaos matter.

To create the first lock for Warlock, that was what Mater needed. After Rank 1, pure Chaos was no longer sufficient to advance the level of a Warlock. They needed Chaos Singularity.

Only Rank 2 beings and some powerful Rank 1 might have a Chaos Singularity that Mater could use.

Selina and some average Rank 1 wraiths also had a Chaos Singularity but those Singularities were so weak that it could not be extracted. They would break immediately after removing them from the body of the host.

Samuel was not a Rank 2 being but he was a very powerful Rank 1 with a strong enough Chaos Singularity.

Once the extraction was completed, Samuel turned into a skeleton. All of his flesh and organs disappeared. But there was something he left behind.

On the middle of his ribcage was a circular metal device. The black cat plucked it off his skeleton and scanned the object using his Chaos Eyes.

'Another spiritual item… It probably has the transformation ability that Samuel used previously. If I use the pocket watch as the base and this device as the core, maybe I can create a Demonic Item…' Mater stroked his whiskers in deep thoughts.

At the moment he had three out of the maximum five servants. He could have two more.

Mater also could possess a maximum of three Demonic Items, which he had none.

'I probably should examine this thing more closely before I decide.' Mater opened his mouth and swallowed the metal device entirely. Chaos flooded to the device as he examined it thoroughly. It might take a little bit of time to fully inspect it.

The black cat then flew to where Bash was. The Demon was heavily injured with one of its arms completely blown off. Unfortunately, Chaos wouldn't be enough to heal him back to full. Bash needed an Infernal Shrine.

"Go in the book first, Bash. I will construct a place for you to heal soon."

"Thank you, Master." Bash bowed as he was pulled inside the 16th page.

Mater then turned to Aurora and Crow. "How much Chaos do you have left?"

"Around 50%, Master." Crow said.

"I have around 60%, Master." Aurora said.

These were the amount after they used up the spare Chaos Spheres. They were completely emptied previously.

"Alright. You two go back into the book first."

The Dark Grimoire stood up and pulled both Crow and Aurora in. They stayed in page 5th and page 10th respectively.

Selina came and picked up the black cat.

"Oh my god! That battle was so bad ass, Mater! You did that. And Aurora did this. And Crow killed that thing. I want to be like you guys so much!" Selina hugged Mater tightly.

"Well. If you study hard and learn the power of the Psychics, you can become just as powerful as us." Mater's deep voice echoed.

It was at that time that they heard some rustling in the faraway bush.

Mateo and Sheriff Carter entered the lake area and spotted Selina and Mater.

"Miss Isles?! Are you alright?" Sheriff Carter raised his gun and looked around. But other than the destruction left behind by the battle, there was nothing else.

"I'm alright, Sheriff. And who is that?" Selina said.

"That's another Bounty Hunter. His name is Mateo Mostovoi. He came here to deal with the NCE in the lake."

Mateo walked arrogantly to the lakeshore. "Where is it?! I will end its tyranny right at this moment!"

"Eh… It was killed already." Selina pointed at the skeleton on the ground. "That is its corpse."

Mateo hugged his stomach and laughed. "Hahaha. Do you think I'm stupid, girl! An NCE does not leave a corpse behind."

The black cat climbed to her shoulder and whispered into Selina's ears.

She nodded her head repeatedly. "Oh yeah. Is that so?! I understand."

Selina then turned to the two of them. "It is because this thing is not just a wraith. It was a man trying to fuse himself with a wraith. He has a laboratory at the bottom of the lake."

"Nonsense! There is no such thing exists. You just want to lie, eh? Do you understand that you're putting everyone in danger by lying? If the wraith is out there…"

Mater squinted his eyes. If it was his choice, he would've slapped that brat to death. But Selina was the center of attention so she had to decide.

The black cat looked up at Selina's face and saw a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes. 'Welp. I don't think I need to do anything.'

"Instead of standing here and questioning me. We should contact the DSI quickly so they have people over here and deal with the aftermath.

I don't know who you are, Mr. Most of Vod. And I don't care."

"Watch your mouth, girl! My name is Mostovoi." Mateo approached Selina.

"Watch your mouth, motherfucker!" Suddenly, Selina cursed.

Her eyes went gold and the tattoo on her chest lit up in the same color. Chaos poured out from the black diamond in the middle of her forehead.

"I do not have a lot of patience. Get. The. Fuck. Away." Selina said slowly.

"Good. Good. Everyone thinks they can just mess with the Atlas Seven, huh? Let me teach you a lesson you arrogant brat!"

Mateo raised his hands and was ready to fight.

The black cat lay lazily on Selina's shoulder. 'Who is this idiot?'
