Chapter 927: Chapter 0924 First Divine Connection (First Update)
Relying on the Soul Storage Vessel, a divine artifact that wasn’t truly a divine artifact, Ach successfully extracted Virginia Truth’s soul from the Tear Staff.
At this mont, Virginia reverted to a young girl’s appearance. Her soul’s outline was ford by a glowing white light, and she also had an unmistakable 36D figure. The Tear Staff, from which the soul had been extracted, had endured the erosion of magic stripping due to the annihilation of Necrofish Ugly until it was completely ruined and turned into a broken fish spear.
“Your Highness, Her Excellency Archmage, what should I do next?” Virginia, back to her original form, looked into the mirror, sowhat bewildered.
During the ti she had beco Necrofish Ugly, she only rembered the unusual stares of the surrounding knights each ti she appeared and almost forgot that she had once been a young girl in her pri.
Now there was joy in regaining her true self but also fear of the unknown from becoming a Bone Dragon.
“Relax. Since you were able to rge with Necrofish Ugly, you can now rge with the Bone Dragon. With and Ach safeguarding you, there’s absolutely no risk to worry about,” Liszt consoled her.
Virginia nodded, “Mhm.”
Indeed, having the great Dragon Knight and Archmage as her guardians was the safest protection asure possible.
Ach carried the Soul Storage Vessel as Liszt lifted her onto the back of the Bone Dragon—Ach couldn’t yet fly, busy mastering the Earth Elental Avatar. He would have to wait until he perfectly mastered the Earth Elental Avatar before attempting to master the Wind Elental Avatar, and finally learn to fly relying on the Wind Elental Avatar.
“The sealing of Dragon Tooth is too strong; we can’t infuse Virginia’s soul through the Dragon Tooth. But Dragon Tooth Platform is an open soul entrance. This is Virginia’s only opportunity.”
“Her Excellency Archmage, please give your instructions. Virginia will listen to you and Your Highness,” the 36D girl hastily said with respectful tones. Almost all magicians, upon encountering an Archmage, turn into beings even lower than servants, almost as if they wish they could kneel on the ground and lick the Archmage’s shoes.
This was a pathological pursuit of Truth—in their eyes, the Archmage was the incarnation of Truth walking in the mundane world.
“We don’t need complicated operations. Ach will construct a simple Soul Stabilization Magic Array here, and from that, you will receive a magic supplent. Then, it’s ti for you to enter the Dragon’s soul through the Dragon Tooth Platform and take over—it’s a task you must accomplish on your own.”
“I understand.”
After the Magic Array for soul stabilization was set up, Virginia was poured out of the Soul Storage Vessel and onto the Magic Array.
After a brief brewing, Virginia’s figure had solidified considerably. Under Liszt’s guidance, she slowly sat on the Dragon Tooth Platform. In an instant, a ghostly blue light rose from the Dragon Tooth Platform, swiftly entangled with the soul-state Virginia, and then as the light faded, Virginia also disappeared.
“She’s gone in,” Ach stated calmly.
Liszt nodded, embraced Ach, jumped off the spine of the Bone Dragon, and then mounted the Formless Dragon Bard, activating Crystal White Trajectory to quietly await changes in the Bone Dragon.
After a full quarter of an hour of calm,
The blue Magic Radiance on the Bone Dragon suddenly began to tremble, followed by its head twisting slightly, and its wings, limbs, and tail also began to move in succession. These movents weren’t grand, but they delighted Liszt, as this signified that Virginia was taking control of the Bone Dragon.
But the Bone Dragon rely moved slightly and then relapsed into a long period of calm.
“Ach, what’s happening? Could there be a problem with Virginia’s soul? Should I mount and feel for myself?”
“Brother, be patient,” Ach’s pupils swirled like vortexes of stars, “Although the Bone Dragon lacks consciousness, its soul exists, pure. For Virginia, to replace the Bone Dragon’s soul with her own is no easy task.”
“So we just wait like this?”
“The struggle for the soul is dangerous. Brother riding the dragon won’t help Virginia at all; it would only disturb her. When the soul is infused, only one soul, whether Virginia’s or the Bone Dragon’s, will remain.” Ach pulled the sowhat restless Liszt, “Brother, you better use Crystal White Trajectory to carefully observe the Bone Dragon. Don’t miss any details.”
“I understand.”
Li Si Te (Liszt) nodded solemnly.
He was well aware that the study of the soul could very well provide the crucial clue for Dragon Knights to break through to the next stage of their training; thus, any materials related to soul research must be diligently collected—now the struggle for the Bone Dragon’s soul presented an excellent opportunity for close observation.
Half an hour later, the Bone Dragon moved again.
However, it wasn’t a physical movent but the eerie blue fla in its dragon eyes that flickered, trembling as if blown by the wind—yet in reality, the magic-made eerie blue fla did not fear the wind; it was not a fla on the physical plane, but rather involved the Chaotic Magic Power of the soul.
Sunset followed by moonrise, moonset followed by stars, the pitch-black sky turned to the white of dawn, and the night slowly passed with the Bone Dragon moving intermittently.
Li Si Te and Ach had stayed awake all night, keeping a record of the Bone Dragon’s state.
Finally.
When the first ray of dawn light from the east showered down on the Reed Marsh Magic Gate, the Bone Dragon, located in a secluded corner of the forest, stirred once more. This ti it seed to have freed itself from a dusty encasent and emanated a “vital” aura, as the eerie blue light breathed in and out.
“Roar!”
The Bone Dragon let out a peculiar roar, manifesting simultaneously near one’s ears and deep within the heart, as it slowly turned its head to look in the direction of Li Si Te and Ach.
The dragon gently nodded its head.
“Brother, it’s Virginia!” Ach exclaid.
Li Si Te’s weary eyes suddenly sparked, invigorated, “Yes, Virginia has succeeded. So Ach, can I try to ride the Bone Dragon and communicate with Virginia now?”
“You can.”
Thus.
Li Si Te quickly leaped from the back of the Formless Dragon onto the Bone Dragon, finding his place on the Dragon Tooth Platform, where he was about to sit down. However, at that mont, a twisted thought popped into his mind, “Virginia’s soul has replaced the Bone Dragon’s soul, so what does it an for to sit down like this?”
The Dragon Tooth Platform symbolized the union of hearts; he had no qualms about such a union with a dragon.
However, if the soul of the dragon were human, and specifically a human girl, wouldn’t such a union of hearts be even more profound than physical unity?
“Spiritual communion?”
“It’s a bit wicked, stop there!” He took a deep breath, dispelled the distractions, and smoothly sat down.
Instantly, he regained the familiar sensation of riding the Bone Dragon, the cold, piercing quality unique to the Bone Dragon’s soul. Only this ti, within the cold feel, there was an added trace of warmth—subtle, yet it provided a profoundly different experience.
It was like igniting a small bonfire in the midst of the night, making him sincerely feel warm and comfortable, wanting to draw near to this warmth, to be enveloped by it.
At the sa ti.
A voice seed faintly calling him, ethereal, hazy, as if the wind was whispering softly, “Your Highness…”
