Supreme Lord: I can extract everything! by HideousGrain

[/spoiler] Bro were you not paying attention? He literally does all of that in the background, he literally tested everything from corpses, ranging from bought corpses to the corpses of his own subordinates, and note, it does nothing. Also yeah, sure, lets address the taming issue. He got soultraits from "tamed" creatures, is false, he got them from a controlled creature. And in this world, Im pretty sure a psychological manipulation skill is pretty rare, especially if its a high rank, and from what I remember, the one who controlled those creatures before have like a rank 2 or 3 war rune that controls the creature. I dont remember if Micheal got taming from that dude or not, but yeah, he controlled the heck out of that beast. BUT, SURE YES, LETS ASSUME THAT MICHEAL COULD YOU KNOW, TAME A CREATURE AND KILL THAT CREATURE TO EXTRACT, here is what will happen. He will only get flesh, no fragments, why? ITS HIS OWN SOUL TRAIT, HE WILL LITERALLY EXTRACT HIMSELF, not good.

Also, yeah, I admit, 80% percent of his troops dying is sad. Like hell why the f#ck did they kill the mages, I loved them like my ships. But if you noticed, he matured as hell, he literally does almost everything you wanted after all of that, except like, killing people. Also, in writing, that's called twist. You could love it or you could hate it, depends on the person.
