Yen Mingjue then looked closely to the sword that is stabbed on Xiao s.h.i.+"s chest and realized where the problem is. Inside the sword are fragments of soul and unsurprisingly, those tiny moving b.a.l.l.s of flames in it are Xiao s.h.i.+"s soul!
With the same principle as the stone from Gao Lan Mei, the YinYing"s sword is used as a material to keep souls.
The bad part, regardless if the being wants it or not, the soul fragment will be impounded!
"Oh! This is a soul eater?!" Sung Zhi Ruo asked as she kneeled next to Xiao s.h.i.+ and examined the sword.
She initially thought that it is just a normal ice type magical weapon and the only reason why Xiao s.h.i.+ is not able to pull it away is because of the spell that the YinYing had cast earlier.
"Tsk." Yen Mingjue let KaiKai"s body to slumped on the ground as it lays its hound head on Xiao s.h.i.+"s stomach. He is trying to see if he can sense the wraith and communicate to her.
Yen Mingjue can feel the Xiao s.h.i.+"s consciousness directly from the sword but he is not considering to move closer to it or remove it. He is on a vessel thus he is not sure how the body will react to the soul eater.
He is feeling the annoyance at that moment, not only because of his lack of strength during this times as he is still relying upon his vessel"s senses but also because he was not able to notice that something is wrong with Xiao s.h.i.+.
Yen Mingjue is also feeling guilty for being too confident and not cautious enough when he let Xiao s.h.i.+ fight with another Wraith.
All is fair with war and love, with that he should have known that the enemy is well prepared to fight even using magical treasures that are forbidden to be used, just like the soul eater.
It is already very dangerous to use the said taboo weapon to beings, what more to wraiths that are deads with physical form.
Aside from the fact that he does not know what to do to release Xiao s.h.i.+ from the sword, he is also not aware how much longer do they need before all pieces of the wraiths soul will be absorbed!
Beings from the underworld are mostly proud because they have the power to wield punishments to those who already died. They always believe that after death is the ultimate suffering that gives anyone fear.
However, with Gao Lan Mei"s take on it, living without freedom is even worse than death.
Just like probably why a soul eater was made, being alive but not living as your soul bounded and you cannot do anything about it.
Yen Mingjue can even bet that Xiao s.h.i.+ is watching them at that moment. To test his theory, he called her out, which earned him a suspicious look from the others.
Sadly regardless how he wants to step in and just destroy everything to help earlier, the only thing he can do is to let the other"s do the work as he watches and feels useless despite his authority!
He finds this incident absurd as well since from the time that he arrived at the s.h.i.+zi Empire, he has dealt with soul incidents more than ones.
Yen Mingjue is also wondering why he cannot see any spiritual form using KaiKai as a vessel.
There is a lot going on inside his mind. Yen Mingjue even thought Xiao s.h.i.+"s mate and what reaction that man will have if he learned that his mate"s soul is currently inside a sword. Since he does not want to deal with a raging beast anytime soon, he will do not want to inform the man.
"Can we stop it?" Sung Zhi Ruo asked loudly, not only for Yen Mingjue but even for the others. Since there is no response from anyone, she looked at Ma Fei Hong instead.
"No need to stop. Just slow down would do." Yen Mingjue noted. He is still confident to fix Xiao s.h.i.+, after all a slave contract to a G.o.d is binding that even other universe and realms respects.
Though the soul eater will not kill Xiao s.h.i.+, there is a myth that some fragments of the soul will be in limbo, dispersed somewhere that no one knows of. "What a bother." He stated before feeling so cold, suddenly that made him s.h.i.+ver.
Yen Mingjue looked around the s.p.a.ce of mirrors and he even considered waking up on his true physical form to check was the coldness came from but decided against it.
It is supposed to be a normal coldness, probably a breeze of wind, but as someone who lives at the Underworld, he is very much aware that the temperature was a cost of a lurking spirit.
"Xiao s.h.i.+?"
