A Year's Time and an Out-of-Control Experiment / The Consequences of a Spell Experiment Gone Awry

Thanks to the machinations of those Lesser Demon Lords, Moros encountered no obstacles in his effort to establish soul factories using the Abyssal Blood Pools scattered throughout his territory.

As one soul-collecting magic circle after another was completed, the undead wizard's soul supply system grew increasingly refined.

With abundant soul resources and a relatively stable, safe external environment, Moros naturally had no reason to delay any longer.
