“This Babitt of the Hundred Eyes being called a deity must be quite powerful, right?” Tulas, standing by, remarked softly after hearing Iron Armor Granny’s narration.
Iron Armor Granny glanced at Tulas and said, “If we’re talking about its true form, its strength is probably comparable to that of Nemeti, belonging to the pinnacle of wizards. However, it possesses great energy that isn’t fully utilized.”
Tulas responded, “Even so, that’s still very strong. Granny, if Lord Pat killed the Babitt of the Hundred Eyes, could he possibly face its jealousy or revenge…?”
Iron Armor Granny paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed, “What, Angel himself isn’t worried, and here you are fretting over it?”
Mandara also whispered from behind Tulas, “Exactly. Did you see how arrogant he was when he killed the Babitt of the Hundred Eyes? Do you think he cares? Besides, if he really does get retaliated against, it’s his own doing…”
Tulas, somewhat embarrassed, scratched his head, “I just, just… am afraid something might happen to the lord.”
Iron Armor Granny chuckled and shook her head, “Don’t worry, that Babitt of the Hundred Eyes wouldn’t dare to descend in its true form. Even if its deity descent ritual is complete, it can’t harm Angel. Moreover, I think the Babitt of the Hundred Eyes hates not Angel, but rather the Mirror Wraith that devoured its divine consciousness. So, you should worry about yourself instead.”
Nisi nodded, adding with schadenfreude, “Angel plans to let you merge with the Mirror Wraith, so in the end, the Babitt of the Hundred Eyes might hate not Angel, but you. You should be careful.”
“Eh??!” Tulas was stunned, wondering how the focus had shifted to him.
Seeing Tulas’ dumbfounded expression, Angel couldn’t help but pat his shoulder, “Don’t worry, as long as you become stronger than the Babitt of the Hundred Eyes, even if it comes for you, there’s nothing to fear.”
Tulas thought: …How could I possibly be stronger than a deity?
“How about you follow me? I’ll ensure your safety and even find you a few beautiful female souls.” Nisi, finding Tulas quite useful and strong during this period, attempted to poach him.
However, Nisi received no response; Tulas acted as if he hadn’t heard, while Mandara glared at Nisi with a fierce look.
As Tulas was being teased by everyone and lost in thought, Iron Armor Granny turned to Angel, “I’ll inform Tree Spirit about the Babitt of the Hundred Eyes later, so he can relay the message to the Extreme Sect. Although one Babitt of the Hundred Eyes isn’t much, the fact that it was secretly let out of the Feran Continent still needs attention. I believe the Extreme Sect would be keen to resolve the breach in the Feran Continent.”
“Alright,” Angel nodded, then suddenly remembered something, “Right, that Babitt of the Hundred Eyes seemed to emit a strange oscillation with its eyes, which I suspect is some kind of special language, but I don’t know what it was saying. Granny, do you know?”
At that moment, Angel had recreated the oscillation in the illusion, hoping to see if anyone understood what it was saying.
Iron Armor Granny spoke with disdain, “From the perspective of communication, it indeed qualifies as language. However, what it spoke was all nonsense, a furious incompetence, not worth mentioning. If you’re interested, you could look it up in the Special Classification for Otherworldly Languages at High Cloud Library. But these are all minor details, knowing them or not doesn’t really matter.”
Angel nodded in agreement, taking Iron Armor Granny’s words to heart, presuming that what was said at the time was indeed nonsensical.
After finishing their discussion about Babitt of the Hundred Eyes, everyone’s attention shifted to the Mirror Wraith.
“The Mirror Wraith, after devouring the divine consciousness of Babitt of the Hundred Eyes, evolved to possess an ability to generate death aura entities,” Angel expressed his concern. “Under these circumstances, can Tulas successfully devour the Mirror Wraith?”
All eyes turned to Nisi, who had the deepest understanding of souls among those present.
After pondering for a moment, Nisi said, “It’s hard to say. It depends on the compatibility of the soul powers between the Mirror Wraith and Tulas. Without seeing the Mirror Wraith in person, I can’t provide a definite answer.”
Every soul, whether it’s a dead spirit, a living being, or a ghost that has passed on, has its unique soul force fluctuation. Nisi needed to personally investigate the Mirror Wraith’s condition to make further judgments.
“However, based on general circumstances, I’m not very optimistic,” Nisi continued. “The gap in strength between the Mirror Wraith and Tulas is too large. It’s usually very difficult to achieve devouring unless there’s a high level of compatibility. So, my advice is not to insist on Tulas focusing on the Mirror Wraith. You might want to find a special ghost instead.”
After delivering his noble speech, Nisi’s eyes shifted, hinting at another idea: “Right, isn’t Little Seim in Star Lake Castle? Why not take him to kill some people? With his special constitution, the killed might turn into several vengeful special ghosts.”
Upon finishing, Nisi noticed everyone looking at him with speechless expressions. He chuckled awkwardly, “I’m not suggesting Little Seim kill indiscriminately. Go to the Central Empire’s death row prison and target those sentenced to death.”
Nisi’s suggestion was somewhat feasible, but considering the reality, if special ghosts did appear and weren’t controlled in time, it could lead to a massive disaster. Moreover, this approach was highly inappropriate for Little Seim’s personal and psychological development.
“It’s unwise to let Little Seim kill just for the sake of obtaining special ghosts,” Iron Armor Granny also chimed in.
To a wizard, killing a few people might seem trivial.
However, planting the seed of evil through indiscriminate killing in Little Seim’s heart could, once it sprouts and blooms, likely cultivate a being who disregards human emotions and kills without discrimination.
Should he become such a being, given Little Seim’s talents, it would be a disaster for both the Wizarding and Mortal Worlds.
“A Near Spirit Body, this special talent, requires orderly guidance, not chaotic education,” Iron Armor Granny looked at Nisi. “If you continue to hold such educational methods in the future, it’s better for Little Seim not to follow you for the time being.”
Iron Armor Granny’s words always carry great weight. If she were to say something like that publicly, Little Seim might indeed take flight.
Upon hearing this, Nisi immediately softened, his face wrinkling into a smile as he said, “I was just joking, Granny. Please don’t take it seriously. As soon as Little Seim arrives at the Savage Grottoes, I will immediately seek advice from Old White, using the academic method to treat Little Seim, ensuring that he won’t be led astray.”
“Little Seim is still young and needs more shaping in terms of concepts. I hope you can provide the right guidance,” Iron Armor Granny nodded, temporarily putting the matter to rest.
Angel said, “Speaking of which, how should we understand the compatibility situation mentioned by Wizard Nisi?”
Eager to move past the topic of Little Seim, Nisi quickly responded, “It’s actually quite simple to understand. You can think of this compatibility as a fit with Soul Trickery, or rather, a Soul Talent.”
Just like people, some are naturally close to certain elements, making them highly compatible or in tune with those elements.
It’s similar with souls.
Although all souls can learn Soul Trickery, there are differences in compatibility with different Soul Trickeries for different souls.
Nisi said, “If Tulas has a good compatibility with the abilities of the Mirror Wraith, he might be able to absorb Mirror Wraith. However, this possibility is quite low. The two abilities possessed by the Mirror Wraith are actually special types of Soul Trickery, and Tulas might not have a high compatibility.”
“Let’s not mention the death aura creatures for now, because it’s still unclear what specifically makes the Mirror Wraith’s death aura creatures special. But speaking solely of the mirror space, this is a kind of ability that involves the soul, yet it involves the extremely mysterious space branch. Do you think Tulas can be compatible with spatial abilities?” Nisi said matter-of-factly, seeing the likelihood of a soul dealing with space as slim to none.
“So, let’s reconsider. The Mirror Wraith might not be suitable for Tulas.”
Everyone nodded in agreement with Nisi’s words, even Iron Armor Granny found them reasonable.
However, at this moment, Angel suddenly said, “I think there’s still a bit of a possibility.”
Nisi asked, “What possibility?”
Angel said, “Hmm… Have I ever mentioned that Tulas was actually a special ghost before?”
Nisi responded, “I vaguely remember Sanders mentioning that Tulas was a ghost, and you had used the white light bullet of the Prelude of Reincarnation on him, but I didn’t realize he was a special ghost before. But, how does that matter?”
“When Tulas was a ghost, he actually had an innate ability, which was——”
Angel paused for a moment, then slowly said under everyone’s gaze, “Spatial displacement.”
As the words fell, it was like a thunderclap in the wilderness, followed by silence.
Not only was Nisi stunned, but Iron Armor Granny and Mandara also showed surprised expressions, especially Mandara. Having once been a ghost herself and led countless ghost, she knew how rare it was for the ability of spatial displacement to appear in a ghost.
“Is that true?” Nisi finally managed to speak after a long while.
Angel nodded: “It’s true. Unfortunately, after I used the Prelude of Reincarnation to pull him back from his fall, his spatial displacement ability also disappeared.”
Nisi turned his head to look at Tulas, staring so intensely that his eyeballs nearly fell to the ground.
Tulas had been following him for some time. As a soul wizard, Nisi had completely failed to notice that Tulas was such a promising soul!
He had previously coveted Mandara, but now it seemed that Tulas was even more worthy of study than Mandara.
“Spatial displacement… This is spatial displacement…”
A mirror space is already a mad intrusion into the material world; spatial displacement directly interferes strongly with the material world!
This is about the soul! It’s not a big deal for a soul to strongly interfere in the energy realm, but to do the same in the material world is extremely rare!
You know, even living wizards might not be able to achieve strong interference with the material world!
“All this time you’ve been with me, why haven’t you ever mentioned that your previous ability was spatial displacement?” Nisi looked at Tulas with the tone of a complaining wife.
Tulas opened his mouth but didn’t speak. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to say, but the things that happened in that small space, Angel had strictly forbidden him from telling anyone else.
Tulas didn’t respond, and Nisi wasn’t annoyed. Looking at him, his eyes were full of brilliance: “How about, from now on, you leave Angel and follow me? I’ll treat you well.”
The closer Nisi got, the more Tulas retreated, shaking his head while he did so.
Seeing that Nisi was about to get up in Tulas’ face, Angel sighed, stepped between the two, and blocked the advancing Nisi.
“Trying to steal someone right in front of me, do you not see me as a human?” Angel said, displeased.
Nisi was shameless: “I’m doing this for Tulas’ own good. There’s no future for Tulas with you.”
Angel raised an eyebrow: “But with you, he’ll be led astray.”
“That’s right.” A crisp voice agreed.
Angel turned around and saw that it was Mandara who had echoed his sentiment. When Mandara saw Angel looking, she rolled her eyes slightly and then lowered her head.
“In matters unrelated, let’s not rush into them now,” Angel turned his gaze back to Nisi, “Although I’m not sure why Tulas eventually lost his spatial displacement, he was once involved with space elements. Given that, shouldn’t there be some compatibility between him and the Mirror Wraith’s mirror space?”
Despite being forcefully steered back to the main topic, Nisi couldn’t help but throw a coquettish glance at Tulas before responding to Angel, “Losing the ability of spatial displacement is quite normal; it involves the soul power of ghosts. You might want to look into it when you have the time.”
“Returning to the issue of compatibility with Tulas, it’s still uncertain if he can achieve compatibility with the Mirror Wraith. But at least in terms of space, there’s a high degree of fit,” Nisi said. “Moreover, spatial displacement can also be considered as an intervention by the soul… Previously, I saw no hope in Tulas being able to devour the Mirror Wraith, but now, there seems to be a chance.”
“However, I still need to see the Mirror Wraith and Tulas’ soul personally before making a final judgment.”
After some thought, Angel nodded, “Alright, when I return, I’ll bring the Mirror Wraith to Wizard Nisi for identification.”
Nisi quickly added, “Don’t forget about Tulas.”
“Of course, I’ll bring Tulas along as well.”
Nisi obviously still harbored ulterior motives towards Tulas, but Angel didn’t point it out. Tulas was free to make his own choices, and if he truly decided to follow Nisi in the future, Angel wouldn’t stop him… although the likelihood was small, given Mandara’s presence.
“Actually, Mandara could come along too,” Nisi shamelessly continued.
Angel smiled slightly, “Let’s not, I believe if Mandara went to your Soul Valley, she wouldn’t be able to resist killing you.”
Officially, it was called Soul Valley, but those who had been there knew it should more aptly be named Bare Soul Valley. Given Mandara’s temperament, it would be odd if she didn’t turn the place upside down.
Pretending not to hear Angel’s sarcasm, Nisi said with a beaming smile, “Then I look forward to your visit.”
