He could finally see who the owner of the voice was, he was somewhat a tall middle age man, with a beard.
"Oh! Is things finally going real now? but my first hunch was really right! You're dead. This is a soul projection... but nevertheless this projection possess a will, and the personality of the original. It's not exaggerating if one say, that this projection if the original. Reviving you is even possible with this.
One's soul was described to be the origin of a person after all, as long as a soul still exist, even when your body is already non-existent you could be brought back to life, with your strength intact."
While he was saying so, the projection moved to grab him with it's hand, and the momentum it gave made him sweat. Although it fell a bit short but it could almost rival the strength that Tiamat showed just before.
"My friend what are you doing! Are you that excited of giving your wife to me? Because of that, you want to hug me to show your gratitude? If it's the other way around, sorry to say, but no homo, although I said I will take care of your wife and daughter. I won't take care of you, just go die. I will remember you! Every time I taste your wife and daughter, I will always remember to thank you!"
"You...!" The projection was speechless, exploding strength came from his hands, although it was not physically existing, but he could deduced that if this hand grasp him. It would be a huge accident.
Before the hand could grasp him, he teleported.
Still, it was no use, the projection also disappeared and quickly appeared to catch him.
"Fuck! I said no homo, are you getting desperate?... Get your damn hand away from me." He summoned Natalia on his hand, coating her with [Nihility] as he slashed the hand that was coming for him away.
"What is this... troublesome!" The projection said, but as if it didn't care of his life and death, the projection didn't stop his hand.
His scythe hit the hand of the projection, [Nihility] that is on the advance stage was really effective, but sadly he doesn't have the time to completely disperse the projection. That's why he gotta get away, or else it'll be disastrous.
The saying did say, that fighting someone who has no regard to life is more dangerous, than fighting someone who values his own life.
Without any choice, he could only teleport to dodge again, a frontal fight against a soul projection, that is technically not alive is suicide. Especially, when the strength it possess is way beyond him.
Just a couple of hours ago, he even used some of his big moves, his strongest moves was not an exception.
The current state of his mind can't handle using those skills again. Although, if you see his stats his Health points and Magical power would be full.
The things he could use were only his ordinary skills, this skills might be strong to the viewpoint of those who are lower realms, but this projection in front of him was not included to those people.
Teleporting further away, to increase the gap between them, but it was no use, his opponent was already onto him.
"Damn! Tia, come out!" He could only call out.
"Hm? So you still need this queen to deal with this weakling?" Tiamat appeared, blocking the attack of the soul projection.
He already knew that Tiamat was close to him, that's why he didn't hesitate to immediately ask for her help. To why he knows, it was because of the contract that connected both of them. When Tiamat appeared close to his location, he quickly detected it.
"Well, I don't mind admitting it. Yes, I need you!" He nodded seriously, to be honest he really wasn't in the proper state to fight right now.
"Good!... To deal with things like this easier... since this thing isn't even alive. You just need to suppress it with overwhelming strength, and then crush it!" Tiamat's human hand, turned to that of a dragon.
Using her claws, she crushed the soul projection, by speeding up with an unimaginable speed, as she appeared in front before directly pinching Ray to oblivion.
The soul projection vanished like a puff of smoke.
"Oh? this one is quite persistent... but you wouldn't last long in that state." Tiamat said, towards the air above the stone tablet.
He was confused at first looking at her, but soon understand, Ray appeared but the soul projection was unstable, in this state it wouldn't take long before he disappeared.
"I didn't think that someone this strong is backing you..." Ray said with a wry smile.
"Haha, of course she is really beautiful right? She is my maid! Say, your jealous right? Envy me! Your so lucky before you're gone completely, you experienced seeing her beauty, what a pity after this you'll be no more..." He shook his head as if depressed.
'This shameless bastard' Rat gritted his teeth.
"Right! You can now leave your wife to me... Hurry, come on you don't have much time anymore, if you don't, who will take care of her? No one, she would be frustrated with no one taking care of her, that's why that will be my job. I will satisfy her." He said with a grin.
However, Ray's reaction was out of expectation, instead of cursing him, Ray actually smiled.
"You want to know my wife right? Okay, I will tell you. Although I don't have a daughter, but my wife is enough I think." Ray smiled.
"Oh... then tell me." He felt something weird was going on.
"Here, look below the tablet, my wife's picture is imprinted there, I'm sure you would be surprised." Ray directed him.
"Hmm... you're quite cooperative than I expected... don't worry I will take care of her." He grinned, but with the distraction of the so called wife, he didn't notice how suspicious Rat was, no! maybe he noticed but he ignored it.
"Let's see... here..." He leaned down below the tablet and quickly found an image.
"This would be your wife... right? Fuck!" The moment he saw the image clearly, he couldn't help but curse.
The image was actually of a fat middle age woman, her face was full of wrinkles. It was not just that, there were other more factors, to be blunt she is ugly, really ugly."
"Fuck! This is your wife? You actually fucking want me to take care of this!" He raged.
"Hahaha, she is now complete yours my friend, be good to her, take good care of her, and talk about life with her. You can see her location at the back of that picture. She is now in your hands, adios. Haha." Ray disappeared while laughing heartily.
When he saw Ray disappeared, he was really gloomy.
"Shit! It was really out of my expectation, damn guy! He actually played with me."
"Humph!" Tiamat snorted at him with her eyes called as ice. "You came here for something right? The world source I see, quite surprising. It's already opened, let's go, this queen will accompany you.
"R-Right!"
He left the thing that happened to the back of his mind, his priority right now is still the world source.
He and Tiamat then quickly proceeded, towards the entrance that has opened.
...
Ray's question was an not answered. What do you think was the answer?!
