Damien had told them to kill the ethereal beast without destroying its ethereal core. Otherwise, even if he transfers some of his soul essence, he wouldn't be able to revive them as an undead.
The ethereal core was the only weakness of his undead slaves. If destroyed, they would cease to exist forever.
Once somebody fights his undead slaves, it would only be a matter of time before they find its weakness...considering that they were strong enough to put up a fight.
That's why he would only use his undead slaves during an emergency, not to give away one of his ace cards.
He couldn't imagine what the world's reaction would be if they came to know that he could create undead creatures.
He was sure being hunted down wouldn't be the only issue. There could be countless others who would want to take advantage of his abilities.
After all, the things an undead can do were unimaginable compared to a normal living being. The undead not having a fear of death was the scariest part, bringing out their true inner potential to the maximum, thus increasing their battle prowess.
All other living beings would subconsciously have restraints on their strength or power when fighting another person, mainly due to the fear of death. Thus unless in exceptional cases, they would never be truly using 100% of their combat prowess.
Damien quickly reached the spot where the Horrowclaw died and quickly took it into his soul space and sent a wisp of his soul energy to its soul plane to prevent its soul from dissipating away.
His soul energy began to deplete at a rapid pace since it was a Heaven Ethereal Realm beast, and there was only so much time he could use to hold down its soul.
Blaze and Shania were surprised to see Damien rushing in so fast. But they didn't pay it any mind thinking he was excited about getting the corpse.
However, they were indeed amazed by his speed since they noticed that his sudden outburst of speed was no less than that of a Sky Ethereal Realm practitioner.
Of course, Damien wouldn't be able to maintain that speed for long since that was his top speed which he wouldn't use without paying mind to his energy levels.

Blaze and Shania took a look at each other and then nodded at Damien, "That would be no problem. You are quite the genius indeed to have sudden enlightenment like that. We will be waiting back at the hilltop."
Saying so, both Shania and Blaze flew away towards Triton and Ana. Damien let out a sigh of relief and quickly dashed towards the cave.
He then set up a barrier using his ethereal artifact and started to cut out 20% of his soul essence.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!" The soul-slicing pain Damien experienced was not something he could get used to, even if this was not his first time.
Every time he did this, he would feel as if he was cutting away a part of himself, and the pain that followed this process was beyond any physical pain he experienced.
Valentina got worried, feeling his intense pain, and came out of his soul space, only to see him sitting up with a smile. She was meditating, so she only noticed it a bit late.
One thing Damien became good at was, learning how to fasten the process of cutting his soul and reduce the time he had to go through such hellish pain.
However, Valentina saw that his expression was pale and quickly threw herself over him for a hug and asked in a concerned tone, "What happened? Did you get hurt?"
Damien stroked her head as he said in a languid tone, "Of course not. I didn't even fight the beast. The two seniors did all the work. This was something I had to do to turn that beast into my slave."
Valentina let out a sigh of relief, seeing that there were no injuries on his body and also after hearing his words.
However, she then realized something.
"But what's the price?" She asked as she raised her head and looked at his eyes. She knew that for him to experience such excruciating pain means he had to lose something to achieve a miracle like bringing a dead thing back to life.
Seeing her beautiful ruby-red eyes, Damien told her the filtered version, "I would be feeling tired for a while, maybe for a few days. But I would regain my energy by then. It's nothing as bad as anything you might have imagined. So, my woman shouldn't worry."
"Do you need my blood?" Valentina asked as she bit her lip, letting a drop of blood appear on her lips.
Damien got turned on seeing her stimulating action. He didn't know whether she did it on purpose or not. But he chuckled and said, "You temptress…"
He stroked her cherry-colored lips, feeling his body heat up from letting his hand wander over her shapely curves.
Valentina gave an alluring smile, knowing what Damien wanted, and put her hands around his neck. But Damien quickly pulled her head towards him as he sucked on her lips, involuntarily tasting her delectable blood as well.
The more he tasted Valentina's blood, the more he felt that it was getting sweeter to the point of tasting as delicious as the finest wine. He felt like he was becoming a vampire but then threw out that ridiculous thought since he knew it was just his mind playing tricks.
"Mmmh…" They both let out low moans, playing a battle of holding their breath.
Damien got up and lifted Valentina, and pressed her against the wall without letting go of her soft lips.
One of his hands squeezed her right boob while the other trespassed into her forbidden region, only to find out that it was utterly bare open for his touching.
He quickly removed his pants and tore open the lower half of her dress to reveal her beautiful honeypot.
Seeing her dripping honeypot, he said with a devilish smile, "You are already aroused, naughty girl?"
Valentina smiled as she bit her lips and started to stroke his dragon filled with vitality.
Although Damien was feeling tired and dizzy, strangely, he couldn't feel less energetic about doing her on the spot.
He didn't know if it was because of her blood, but right now, his body was only continuing to heat up, especially his little dragon. He could feel flames of lust burning in his lower regions.
He couldn't hold himself back any longer and lifted her legs. And after placing his cock over her tantalizing pussy, he thrust his hips forward as he entered her narrow cave.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Aaahnnn…" Valentina jerked her head back as she felt his dragon invade her honeypot with complete ferocity.
Her boobs bounced as Damien continued to pummel her with all his strength.
*Pa~ Pa~ Pa~ Pa~...*
"Ahhn~ Ahngg~ Ahnnn~..."
Sounds of moans and flesh slapping against each other echoed in the cave. Damien made his cock go even deeper by putting her legs over his shoulder and continued to ram her.
"Nnng…" Damien groaned as he painted the insides of her shrine with his warm milk.
He then put her legs down and turned her around to see her succulent buttocks completely laid bare before him.
He squeezed them and kneaded them before slapping them a few times. After fingering her butthole for a while, he inserted his still erect cock into her cute butthole.
"Ahhmmm…" Valentina let out an unrestrained yet sensual moan, feeling ripples of pleasure spreading out from her lower regions.
She could feel the insides of her butthole expanding to adapt to his thick cock, and Damien only felt the feeling of her soft flesh compressing his cock too heavenly.
He felt as if his cock was being melted inside her butthole and clutched her neck before continuing to pound her from behind.
Soon enough, after coming inside her butthole, he took his cock out and made her crouch down. Without further ado, he shoved his cock inside her open mouth and continued to shake his hips to and fro as she pleasured his hot rod with the insides of her mouth, including her tongue.
He pressed her head against his cock till it reached the depths of her throat, making her gag, and then released his load, saving her the effort of swallowing it herself.
Feeling satisfied that he came inside all three holes of hers, he suddenly felt his fatigue kicking back in and felt mentally tired as well.
He sat down and said to Valentina in a languid manner, "I will be taking a nap...wake me up if…."
Valentina smiled in amusement, seeing that he dozed off before he could finish his sentence. She let his head rest against her soft thighs while using her ethereal energy to clean him and herself.
