Chapter 2452: Memories of the Soul Fragment
Adrian froze when he had contact with the soul fragment of the Asmodian Abel. When he touched it, Adrian's soul momentarily separated from his body and got transported somewhere. He was absorbed inside of the soul fragment itself and saw where the last two fragments are.
He also managed to see how the soul fragment appeared in the northern continent. Adrian saw the soul fragment enter a meteor that pierced the skies. This meteor was eaten by a primordial beast that was now known as the Primordial Beast of Frozen Tundra. The Primordial Beast of Frozen Tundra was not a powerful being when it first came to be.
The fact that it ate the meteorite containing the soul fragment of an Asmodian is all coincidence. It was a primordial beast that ate stone in order to increase its primordial energy. It just so happens than it ate the meteorite that was filled with primordial energy. This led to the awakening of the Primordial Beast of Frozen Tundra and becoming the next powerhouse of the northern continent.
Adrian also received the memories of the Primordial Beast of Frozen Tundra, but he filtered most of it out. He looked closely on the directions of the locations of the soul fragments, and they flew in a southern and eastern direction. He can only deduce that one might be in the eastern continent being hidden from his detection and the other in the southern continent.
"I would need to ascertain my theory though. If the soul fragment could attach to an object like a meteorite as long as it has abundant primordial energy, then the soul fragment could be in anything. There might even be items that are possessed by the soul fragment. After all, not all soul fragments are the same as this one is filled with the will to live and become stronger." Adrian muttered as he finally received the notifications of the weakening of the Cocytus Primordial Demonic Beast.
[Your soulbound, Dodu, has reduced the defenses of the Cocytus Primordial Demonic Beast by 1%.]
[Your soulbound, Dodu, devoured something foreign.]
[Your soulbound, Dodu, has devoured the energy of the Primordial Beast of Gluttony.]
[Your Gluttony skill has increased in rank.]
"What the heck!" Adrian shouted as numerous notifications bombarded him that Dodu was increasing his skill rank.

==
Adrian could not believe that Dodu raised the skill rank via devouring the parts of the Primordial Beast of Gluttony. He knew that they were connected to each other by the Soul Chamber, but he did not think that Dodu would be able to do that. He always thought that only Dodu could benefit from those that it devoured but it actually helped him as well.
[Your soulbound, Dodu, has gained the title, Devourer of Devourers.]

"Such a scary title but I am sure that it will not come to that. Anyways, I need to return now to finish off the Cocytus Primordial Demonic Beast." Adrian muttered to himself as he vanished from the inner world of the soul fragment and returned back to the battle.
When Adrian returned, the Cocytus Primordial Demonic Beast was already close to death which is why he gambled. He gathered all of the nether energy in the area and created a powerful explosion that is lethal to the Cocytus Primordial Demonic Beast. He made this calculated move and also imbued Dodu with nether energy as well which eroded the body of the Cocytus Primordial Demonic Beast faster.
Adrian managed to kill the Cocytus Primordial Demonic Beast, but it also weakened him in the process. Saena had to catch him as he could barely use magic in his state. When Adrian managed to catch his breath, he looked at the gigantic corpse of the Cocytus Primordial Demonic Beast. The corpse of the Cocytus Primordial Demonic Beast suddenly started to wiggle which alarmed the players that already relaxed as the enemy was defeated.
The players suddenly went to their battle stances but soon relaxed when a clear ooze came out of the Cocytus Primordial Demonic Beast mouth. Dodu managed to come out although it was smaller than its original size as its health was still low. Still, Dodu excitedly jiggled when it saw Adrian and even ran towards him to perform a slime hug.
"You did a great job in decreasing the defenses of the enemy, Dodu." Adrian praised.
"Dodu did great! Dodu was praised!" Dodu stated via their soul link.
"All of you did great. Especially Wisteria as she sacrificed her life twice to take that hit for me. She even used up her own revival just so I could survive. All of you deserve a bit of rest and some special treats when we go back." Adrian stated as his heart felt warm as if his soulbounds responded to his earnest praise.
