3 hours later Hecale POV
"Has he woken up yet?" I asked a nearby nurse.
"Not yet but he has shown signs of waking up soon so he should be alright for now." She said I was relieved he would wake up soon but I was still worried about him.
"Can I see him?" I asked.
"Yes, his magic has stabilized so it is safe to enter his room now." She said as she pointed to his room.
I walked into the room and saw him sleeping I sat down on a chair next to the bed to wait for him to wake up.
A few minutes later Talion POV
My body felt heavy for some reason but I managed to open my eyes to see I was in a hospital." What happened?" I said not noticing anyone else was in the room.
"You absorbed too many souls at once and got too powerful for your body to handle." I heard. I turned my head to see Hecale sitting in a chair with a smile on her face.
"I guess I should be more careful from now on," I said as I laid my head back down on the pillow but I did not have time to relax there's a war going on I got up out of bed and stood up I reach for the doorknob.
"I don't think that is a good idea," Hecale said as I grabbed the door handle and attempted to turn it only for it to immediately break off the door. "Now you've done it." She said as she sighed.
We managed to get the door open after that and left the room we informed the doctors I was alright and we went back to the tower but when we were walking Hecale told me what the doctor said about the souls of the demons it was surprising they were only fragments.
"So there's only one soul left I the orb?" I asked she nodded. "Well, I don't think it will be a problem it if is only one it took thousands for me that to happens so it should not be much trouble," I said as I walked inside.
Hecale went to go see her mother I went back to the Palantir room where the orb still was, the undead was still holding the palantir and the soul orb was back on the pedestal.
"Well let's get this over with," I said as I reached for the orb but something was different about the soul inside it was much more powerful than any other soul I have seen so I was hesitant to absorb it.
'Why is this soul or fragment different' I thought as I observed it was a much larger fragment than the others."Could it be the demons lords soul." I said to myself as I placed my hand on the orb the soul was absorbed I felt a little different and I could feel my power increase. "Well, that felt a little strange," I said as I face the door and took a step then found myself on the other side and crashed into a solid stone wall creating a crater in it. "What just happened," I said as I healed my broken nose I turned towards the door to see it had a human-shaped hole in it.
"What happened" I heard and I saw the captain of my royal guard looking at me.
"I don't know but get me someone to carry me up the stairs it seems I can not control my speed and get Lotus two I have some questions for her," I said he walked away and came back with an undead he carried me up the stairs and set me in a chair in the living room Lotus came in not long after.
"You needed me," she asked.
"Yes it seems when I absorbed the demon lords soul I got his speed and now I can't control it," I said she gave me a worried look.
"I thought this might happen after I heard about what the doctor said but to explain what is happening to you I have to tell you the history of the demons." She said as I got comfortable. "When we were first born there were three that rose to power very quickly they were the first demon lords there was Lucifer, Sarsha, and lastly the one you killed was Abaddon each of them had a unique power Lucifer with his immeasurable strength Mania with her incredibly powerful magic and Abaddon with his speed but through time the demon lords came to be but they were not unique like them." She explained.
"So they must be larger fragments than the others and inherited some of her power," I said quietly to myself. "So how will I control my speed," I said she shook her head.
"I don't know maybe you can somehow control or seal it." She said and I had two ideas.
'Ok I can try." First I will try to focus my magic into my brain and eyes so I can hopefully increase my the speed they can perceive the area around me I could feel everything slow down around me I got up I could move freely I did a few test movements like jumping in the air but I almost crashed through it I moved around the room for a bit so I could think of a way to seal my speed or at least stop myself from using it all the time Lotus has not even moved a finger since I have been doing this I was seeking my magic for the demon lord's power it was like finding a needle in a haystack and with my magic so large it was more like the haystack was as vast as the ocean but with me in this state it will not take much time for them it least for it it will take awhile.
