Before long, the surroundings of the head cleared out, and nearly every purple wisp was absorbed back inside of the stone. Fell continued gazing at the rock and only began moving when he noticed that the stone wasn"t absorbing any more wisp."What the h.e.l.l?", he exclaimed while looking around him. He notices a few wisps hovering here and there around him, and moved the stone around while sending an influx of soul power inside of it. The purple stone flashed with an intense light, and a suction appeared around its surface.
The small scattered wisps of purple clouds began once again moving. They calmly moved toward the stone, and before long, dozens of wisps floated near the stone. But none of them approached the stone and only stood close to it. At last, one of the wisps moved and finally made contact with the stone, but nothing happened.
"Guess you don"t want them anymore… Then, those are mine!", he exclaimed before sitting down on an intact spot of the brain. He a.s.sumed a meditative stance and began regulating his breath. Contrary to the greedy, hasty, and unusual breath from before- he was now using the methodical breathing technique he had learned from Anzar.
His diaphragm moved and trembled in a fast and rhythmic pattern. A large amount of air entered his mouth in a short period of time, within them could be seen purple wisp that had been hovering around near the brain.
As soon as they invaded his body, a strange suction appeared from the veined white-colored hole that existed near his head. One, two, three wisps entered his system, and before long, the same was done for the rest of them.
He inhabited his ego body and saw the result of his absorption. In a random corner of his soul palace, hovered a ball of purple color the size of a small pool.
Fell approached it and, without any hesitation, threw himself inside of it, and used the fact that he was in a meditative state to refine the ominous energy. The moment he made contact with it, a wave of spiritual power a.s.saulted his brain and images upon images of the humongous creature"s life appeared in his mind.
A cloudy and hazy hue appeared in his ego body"s eyes, and flashes of purple color were resealed on the surface of his body. Veins of purple appeared on the surface of his persona, and the next moment roars began escaping from his throat.
It didn"t take a few seconds for the resentment present in the energy to a.s.sault his mind. Ghosts of the many beasts the vicious had eaten appeared everywhere through Fell"s soul palace; their roars and barks should every crook and nanny of vast white extension of his sea of thought.
But the young cultivator didn"t let the resentment in the energy bother his absorption, and the next moment he began engulfing treads upon treads of the purple-colored pool. The flashes of ghostly b.e.s.t.i.a.l figures intensified, and his soul palace shook from the nuisance they caused.
His mind blanked, but his greed automated his action. He absorbed, absorbed, and continued absorbing as if hooked by the soul-powered substance. With particle of soul-powered purple substance, his soul palace would materialize even more, and the s.p.a.ce existing inside of the white hole would grow vaster.
He noticed the peculiar progress that arose at a fast speed due to the inexplicable and intrinsic link existing between his soul palace and the ego body he was controlling. His perception of time trembled, but his state of mind wasn"t shaken as the progress of his soul palace was his own.
At first, the memories of the fierce beast that flashed in his thought were disorganized and fast to the point where he couldn"t understand the start from the ending.
But with time pa.s.sing and his mind strengthening, he began slowly comprehending them. And before long, the numerous roars and growls from the ghostly b.e.s.t.i.a.l figure turned into silent whispers that couldn"t bother him.
Scene after scenes coming from the creature"s life flashed in his mind. Times before the humongous creature began relying on her vast soul power to hunt for her food, and where her sole attack was based on her sharp fang and deadly tentacles.
The way she fought against many other fierce beasts was relayed to the young cultivator through the strange memory transfer. And before long, he felt as if he had absorbed the entirety of the intelligent beast"s life.
His ego body"s hair had acquired a vivid purple color, and hazy mist hangs around his body. A strange purple glint on the ego body"s eyes before he nonchalantly closed his eyes with a minute satisfied smile.
His eyes opened widely, and a vague yet noticeable purple hue flashed in an ominous glint. Fell sighted for a second and licked his lips in the same way a salesman would be getting an aftertaste of his first pay.
"Time to take a look at how everything is going on there…", he thought while trying to sense the blood essence from the army of MechSuit. Unfortunately, his weakened state made the job harder, and the fact that the battlefield was filled with hundreds upon hundreds of creatures made it even worst.
"I can only trust in their strength.", he thought before moving away from the giant corpse of the creature. His slightly energetic steps took him toward the place held by the army of MechSuit, and before long, he was back in the middle of the sea of beasts.
Numerous roars reverberated through the battlefield, they overlayed on top of each other and formed a humongous amount of decibel that washed the battlefield.
"Noisy…", mumbled Fell while entering the deserted area filled with hundreds of beasts. "Shut up!", a deep, powerful voice left the lips of the young, frail, man.
A formless wave of soul power containing Fell"s intent traveled through the battlefield, and the next moment complete silence had overtaken the ma.s.s of beast. In the distance, the last few sounds released by the beast died down, and what was left through the battlefield was complete and utter silence.
"Now that is much better.", he exclaimed in a satisfied and loud tone. He walked unhurriedly through the vast battlefield, the numerous beasts filling every inch of the soil on the north wall were constantly shivering. Their pupil was slit, and their eyes darted left and right while continuously avoiding Fell"s slowly approaching figure.
His formless soul power had invaded every s.p.a.ce of the battlefield. And although the effect of this technique wasn"t efficient to the point of the t.i.tanic spider, it still stunned those creatures for a long period of time and left Fell enough time to rejoin the army of MechSuit.
"It is still quite far from her strength…", he said with silent sight escaping from his lips. He was truly tired from the long day, and couldn"t help but feel tired after having battled one strong creature after another. And sadly, his recent progress with his soul cultivation base didn"t refresh him enough.
He gazed at the numerous creature around him, their figure akin to statues, and the young man couldn"t help himself and cracked a satisfied grin toward them. "The cost of this strange spell is still worth its use.", he said in a laid back manner.
"I"ll take my time and check a creature or two…", he thought while licking his lips. His rush toward the spidery monstrosity took him less than a minute, but the time he took to come back was far longer, and it was more than ten minutes later that he saw the army of MechSuit in the distance.
Among the numerous frozen beasts, dozens of particularly good tasting ones had disappeared inside of the young cultivator"s spatial pocket.
"Something is moving among them!", exclaimed one of the soldiers. It had been a few minutes that every single beast on the battlefield stopped moving, and even if when they didn"t stop and continued slaughtering them, there were no change in their behavior.
"It"s that cultivator.", responded one of the MechSuit pilots with good eyes. His memory of the young man still fresh in his spirit and the way he affected the entire battlefield made that fact true.
Fell saw them in the distance, and he couldn"t help but quicken his step by a few grades. Before long, he crossed the path filled with fierces but constantly trembling beast that didn"t dare to move a single muscle when faced by his presence.
"This spell is literally a cheat.", he exclaimed nearly out loud. "Nearly a cheat… I can sense that its effect will stop in a few seconds.", he corrected in a low tone before leaving the fray of diverse beasts of many shapes and sizes.
"Time to get some rest.", he thought while greeting the numerous soldiers in front of him.
He pa.s.sed through them, nodding at them on his way. The general of their army wanted to question him and to ask what had happened deep in the beast wave, but he stopped himself and only nodded toward him.
