Lilith had decided to not eat the soul herself, as it would end up being wasted in her. Souls such as the one from Brutus were better used in those with similar affinities after all. Unlike Chaos, she wasn't someone that could easily master other elements, and the element which Brutus divinity belonged to was War, a divinity opposite to anything Lilith has ever used before.

However, she remembered that Ifrit was a fighter that used his fists and physical damage, something that War was related to, although Ifrit's divinity was just fire, this soul's power could really boost him up a bit more. She decided to quickly do what she thought, and bring the soul to Ifrit so he could eat it and recover, if he could eat it, his weakened soul could also be recovered a bit more, and even gain some new power.

Demons had the inherent power of eating souls as the dimension where they lived, Hell, always had wandering souls of mortals everywhere, which were brought there to be tortured by the demons for their sins, demons ate souls and gained power from doing so, but finding one was often not so easy, especially when big clans monopolized the areas where souls usually spawned for themselves, without letting others easily have a hand into them.

Ifrit's soul was weakened because he had used the blazing soul arts, which were part of his family of Ifrit Demons, such a technique had the power of burning the user's soul in exchange for amazing quantity of power, speed, and other enhancements to their physical capabilities, something that Ifrit always needed, and needed urgently against the powerful Brutus…

He had decided at the end that the best thing to do was to use such a dangerous art, which he even fused with the techniques that could even endanger his life, going all out against the powerful Orc God… the end result was good, as he won and didn't die in the process, but both his soul and body were severely damaged and exhausted, causing a hard time at healing it and everything that came with that… Lilith sighed internally at this, Ifrit's fighting style was way too risky and always would end up on him being so tired. Perhaps eating this soul could help at that if anything…

SLAM!

Lilith moved inside her Divine Realm and then inside the big manor she had. She slammed the door open, finding Ifrit sitting over a bed while meditating, some minutes had passed inside her divine realm, almost half an hour by now, while in the outside world only a minute passed since she put him inside, this was the amazing time dilation of God's divine realms.

Lilith seemed desperate for Ifrit to recover, she was someone devoted to him despite the demon being incredibly hard-headed to even realize the girl's devotion and feelings, as she surprised him, interrupting him from his Qi Meditation, an important practice he had to do after battles to nourish his body with Fire Qi to boost his natural regeneration.

"Ifrit, eat this!" She said, jumping over Ifrit and interrupting his Qi meditation.

"W-What the…?! Oi! I am trying to calm down before entering the battle again!" Cried Ifrit. As he felt like he was being forced down by the demoness…

"Just eat this, it's the soul of the idiot you beat, eat him up before he frees himself!" Said Lilith. Furiously moving away his revel arms and pushing the bubble with the agonizing and scared soul of Brutus.

"A-Alright, I get it!" Said Ifrit, angered at the annoying overly concerned woman, as he grabbed the bubble with the scared and agonizing soul of Brutus compacted inside, and swallowed it! The bubble went down his throat, arriving at his stomach, but the stomach itself wasn't the one that was going to dissolve it.

He swallowed the soul and it slowly dissolved inside of his own soul, as Brutus started to agonize within the stomach of Ifrit! Indeed, the soul of Brutus was being dissolved within Ifrit's soul stomach, something strange that Demons possessed since birth! Demon Souls were already incredibly unique, as they even worked with different laws than conventional souls, being Demon Energy based and not Divine Energy based like most other souls, it was like comparing carbon-based lifeforms with silicon-based lifeforms, completely different.

And within Ifrit's Soul Stomach, the soul of Brutus realized he was slowly fading away, the pain was severe, and he couldn't help but desperately scream, he had waited for Ernesticia and Lucia to aid him in battle like before, but they never came, this was because Chaos' allies were already making them busy outside, and he was left to the mercy of these two Demons.

"N-No…! My soul is dissolving…!" Cried Brutus, but there was nobody to listen to him. He lived his entire life alone by himself, although he had armies of Orcs, he never made true friends, but perhaps those he worked with in this world had become the closest thing to friends now.

Yet… at the end, they were not here for him. He realized that he worked so hard all to reach such a pathetic end, all the battles, all the hardships… Perhaps he should had never decided to serve a Vampire to begin with… Maybe… He should had simply continued living freely instead of seeking power by serving somebody else.

"I've done so much…! Just all to reach… this pathetic… end…" Brutus muttered on his last seconds of life, as he disappeared and turned into pure energy for Ifrit to nourish himself.

FLUOOOSSHH!

Ifrit suddenly felt the explosion of energies reaching his entire body, it was a soothing amount of power that slowly continued to grow bigger and bigger, until it turned into a blazing red soul flame that fused into his soul, the power of War was fused into his soul and body, as his entire physique started to grow bigger and stronger as well, surprising both Ifrit and Lilith… His muscles grew stronger, and his blood was flowing rapidly across his vessels… Ifrit was not only recovering but improving greatly.
