Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!
chapter-876

Dealing with the remaining kids and disciples of the Blaze household wasn't too tricky. The Elemental Empress had ordered her children to protect the Awakened and link up with them. The Elemental might of the Noble Elementals, Elementals, and even Lesser Elementals was potent. It was strong enough to grant all Awakened a more or less high resistance toward heat and fire.

However, the fire resistance granted by Elemental Might was only one of multiple means to weaken the Blaze household's power and influence. Some new Awakened in Michael's territory were given rather unique Soultraits. One of them was an Aqueous Domain, which had been amplified with an ice-attributed Soultrait. The Aqueous Domain shrouded a large area and affected the surrounding environment drastically. It lowered the temperature while spreading its power in the surroundings. The Aqueous Domain, combined with the Elemental Might of Water Elementals and other water and ice-attributed Soultraits affected the effectiveness of the Blaze household's fire-attributed Soultraits.

Other than that, Frederik Kolbenheim and two more Awakened with wind-attributed Soultraits focused on the amount of oxygen in the surroundings. They, alongside Michael, removed the vast majority of oxygen in and around the settlement. Michael went as far as unleashing the True Extraction Domain before using Swallow Domain to remove the oxygen amid his enemies, removing the potential to create flames using ordinary means. The Awakened of the Blaze household had to use a lot of energy to conjure flames, which was also more challenging after the debuffs and minor curses of several Soultraits impacted.

Dealing with the Awakened, who'd already gained mastery in the Primordial Bloodline technique, was a little bit more challenging to deal with. Their physical strength, senses, and energy control were much higher than the norm. Even a minor mastery of the technique was enough to cause the Untamed Awakened trouble. The only reason they survived was their numerical advantage, seamless teamwork, Soultrait Symbol advantage, and a prominent factor; The Untamed Awakened fought not only for their Lord but also for themselves.

The Untamed Awakened's battle spirit was higher than their enemies. That wasn't difficult to tell. It played a crucial point during the battle, just like the attitude of Olivia's subjects. The Awakened were forced to fight beside her, whereas the Summons were hiding, or as they called it; Trying to protect the settlement from within.

Michael noticed the shift on the battlefield quickly. He brought nearly 100,000 combatants from the Untamed Army to the Sacred Desert to deal with the Blaze household, but they didn't have many enemies. Some of the strongest Summons chose to join the devastating battle against the Awakened, whereas others were more focused on their main mission. They invaded Olivia Blaze's territory, eliminated the combat Summons attacking them, and paved their way to the treasury, the territory manor, and the Summoning Gate.

The masses of combatants from the Untamed Army were strong enough to flood the defenders. They were better trained, more experienced, at a higher Tier, and naturally trained better. It was no surprise, the settlement was conquered in less than three hours.

Michael didn't need that much time to deal with Olivia Blaze, but he didn't kill her right away. He had many questions to ask her after ripping out her arms. He healed her, ensuring Olivia wouldn't die, but didn't treat her nicely in any other way. Instead, Michael crushed Olivia's spirit and severed her energy veins when she tried retaliating with force.

"Tell me everything!" Michael cursed Olivia Blaze, ignoring her pitifully, snotty face. She'd been bawling her eyes out for a while, but Michael didn't feel any pity or mercy. Olivia was already dead to him. The only question left was how she would die. Would she answer his questions nicely, or would she remain silent?

Michael expected Olivia to speak and reveal everything her family had planned. He was sure Olivia would betray her house and report as much as possible in hope to survive today's carnage. However, the opposite was the case. Despite bawling her eyes out and looking like someone who was never injured, Olivia Blaze didn't say anything. She remained silent even after Michael ripped her arms out. That was a surprise.

"I have to give you that. You're loyal," Michael nodded slowly, "Still, a bitch, but a loyal bitch, at least."

He stared Olivia dead in the eyes and unleashed Spiritual Domination a hundred times in a row. He used the surrounding energy to empower so many uses of Spiritual Domination and watched Olivia scream at the top of her lungs until she didn't have enough energy to say anything.

After that, Michael used Mind Reader to access and control her mind freely.

"You should have told me everything. I will find out what I want, either way," Michael said coldly, reading her memories and thoughts until he noticed something was amiss.

Olivia Blaze bit her tongue in a moment of carelessness. Michael's carelessness. "Disgusting bitch!" He cursed, using River of Vigor with Insert in an attempt to heal Olivia Blaze, but she had already been on the verge of death. Biting her tongue was the last push needed to end her life. She was bleeding severally, yet smiled at Michael, blood pouring out of the corners of her mouth.

An energy influx reached Micheal, filling him with energy, as Olivia's body stiffened in his grasp. A curse escaped his lips, but he didn't stop moving. He manifested his Curse Seals all over his body and unleashed True Extraction on Olivia, draining as many memories as possible.

Michael didn't think Olivia knew anything about Alice's whereabouts or what was happening with her and the other Descendants – which would be nice to know –. Still, he hoped Olivia knew the Blaze household's schemings in the Tritan Alliance.

It was known that the Blaze household had been doing bad things now that everything was exposed individually, but it was still unknown how extensive their schemings had been.

Some of the schemings Michael wanted to hear revolved around Paradise Valley. He heard about the Blaze Patriarch being in cahoot with the Awakened, who'd betrayed Daniel Fang. Wouldn't that mean the Blaze Patriarch knew about Paradise Valley and the Primedival Pyramid?

Michael wanted to know how the Blaze household was involved in the mess with his brother and if the Blaze Patriarch was the main culprit. It felt logical to assume that the Blaze Patriarch was at fault for everything and that the Blaze household had long since known about the Undead Pharaoh. It was also not unlikely to assume that the Blaze Patriarch chose the Sacred Desert as their new home because of the Undead Pharaoh's actions. Maybe – but Michael was unsure about that – the Blaze household also knew about the Energy Vein.

If that was the case…

Michael shuddered in fury. He had yet to learn the complete truth but was already angry.

Some of the Blaze household's actions were confusing – especially the part where the Blaze household thought they were alone in the Sacred Desert even though someone had killed the Undead Pharaoh in Paradise Valley – but Michael didn't care at this moment.

His attention pulled to the Blaze household once again, and he was glad that the remaining Blaze household members and their territories were still there.

Michael was in dire need of some death and destruction.

He had to distress.
