'wow! Even though we didn't fight the real deal, I was still giving the price for killing one, that crazy as hell.' Aion happily falls to the ground as even though he is exhausted to the core he lies there smiling happily.
He turned his head to the side, as he sees Glyscyra consoling Rill as he is still stricken with panic and grim. Sighing deeply, he turns his head to where Rack dead body lays, with his soul currently coagulating above his body.
[Specie: Human.
Name: Rack.
Cultivation: 5th stage body refining realm.
Condition: Dead/Ascending.
Stats;
Hp: 0
Soul: 80%. Incomplete.]
[Quest: Help the pained soul ascend and make him have his farewells with his brother. Rejoin or complete the soul through other means.
Rewards: 1 path point, Soul enhancing pill.
Duration: Five minutes.
Penalty: N/A.]
Aion sighs as he forces himself up and whistles for Glyscyra. Glyscyra looks at Aion and sees him motioning his head for her.
She looks at Rill as she then stands up to go meet Aion.
"What's it?"
Aion glances at Rill from the corner of his eye, "show him over, I have a present for him." He says as he goes over to the dead body.
While he goes to the dead body, Glyscyra went to Rill as she pleads with him to come over.
"Come on Rill"
"No, no I was a disgrace to Rack, I couldn't protect him, I couldn't." He shakes his head swiftly as he tries to escape Glyscyra's grip but she still holds on to him tightly.
"You have to see him now, or else you might lose that chance forever" Glyscyra although can't see or feel souls, but she can feel ascension of one, she has been trained in her amazonian hometown and she knows how to feel some of the supreme phenomenon of the world.
So when Aion called over for her, and told her he has a present for Rill, she immediately linked it together and could guess that it had something to do with Rack's ascension.
Rill hearing that he might lose a chance forever about his brother, immediately jumps to his feet but his legs are still wobbly so Glyscyra grabs him and takes him over to where Aion is with the body.
Aion notices then coming over as he checks his resources.
[Energy: 1,089/19,114 => 2,039/27,114]
[Soul realm: 1st stage Nascent realm.]
[Soul point: 13.750]
He stares at the soul as he then uses his skill on it, testing whether he would also be able to analyze abstract items.
'Scan'
[Item: Rack soul.
State: Ascending/ Incomplete.
Requires: 0.020 soul points.]
'oh wow, it also shows the requirements for it's completion. Since it's not much then, there's nothing else stopping me from rendering my assistance.' Aion concludes as he waves his hands and gives the necessary required points for the soul to complete and be able to ascend safely.
As he outstretches his hand, that was also the same way the hand remained, no signs of energy use or soul injecting, everything remained the same.
'has it worked?'
[Soul point: 13.750]
'Okay... Everything remains the same. Don't tell me... I only know how to see souls not control them, fuck!'
Checking the time he sees that he only has three more minutes before the end of the quests duration, which might mean that in the next three minutes the soul will be forcibly ascended and will only risk being obliterated if ascended incomplete.
Immediately entering the system's forge, he browses through lists of soul abilities, techniques and skills. All the soul techniques he has been seeing were all battle oriented, most of them were attack based, while few were protection based or even some that were abstract based.
Finally he sees one, but it comes along with many others as a sort of requirement to learning the soul manipulation.
Almost like a leveled game, where you can't buy an item because you haven't reached the level for that item, or because you don't have a previous version of that item required to use as the main ingredient in making the new one.
Aion checks the skill in detail as well as it's requirements.
[Item: Manipulate skill.
Name: Soul manipulation.
Description: The ability to manipulate and command souls according to the difference in user and soul owner strength. The more stronger than the user the soul is, the more the backlash.
Requirements: Basic elements manipulation(Air, Earth, Fire, Water), karmic techniques, soul seeing skill, stronger than normal soul.]
According to his current state, he has only marked two of the seven requirements, because the basic elements can't be learned as one so they count as four, whereas he only has a stronger the normal soul since his soul strength is a realm above his physical strength, and the other he has is the soul seeing technique, the one he got from killing beasts and escaping from Kairos clone, [Eye windows].
'karmic techniques, hold on I know one!' he remembers he had seen a karmic technique before when they were on the way to this planet and he had to leave it because of his lack of money back then.
[Item: Cultivation technique.
Name: Buddha karma manual.
Type: Active.
Description: Cultivate the energy of Buddha as you have the chance to indirectly learn the art of Karma practice and guide lost souls into ascension.
Price: 15,000 gold coins.]
Without wasting any more time that required, Aion buys the technique instantly and learns it, then he also skims around for the four basic elements manipulation.
They cost five thousand gold coins each and as well also have requirements, and their requirement asks him to train in places where they are most abundant for at least a month each.
Mentally laughing at his dilemma, he pays four thousand gold, a thousand for each one, and he is able to use the. For an hour like as if he already know how to use them before.
He pays another five hundred gold to increase his understanding of the Buddha karma manual, and be able to understand a little more about guiding souls into ascension.
After learning everything he then buys the soul manipulation skill for another huge amount ten thousand gold coins.
[Currency;
Gold: 62,850 --> 13,350]
Weeping at his loss, he conjures everything all together as after learning everything he needed to learn the methods of using the soul manipulation just comes naturally to him, he looks inside himself using the [Eye windows] skill, he could see right in his centre of his being slightly below his heart at the centre of his chest is a huge blob of unreal light gleaming and dancing majestically at the centre, then he could see a bigger part at the bottom near his pelvic region, this one feels more like water as it crashes wave after wave at the walls of here it is kept, whereas the one at the center of his chest feels like a solid gas, that has the potential to keep becoming more solid.
Aion could immediately relate that the one kept inside a enclosure at his abdomen is his stock of soul points so he commands and draws soul from there he could see the sould flowing out of the enclosure in like dust particles.
Immediately the soul leaves his enclosure, for a moment it will become wild and want to disperse into the air, but he quickly grabs unto it again with his mind and continue guiding it in the same lane and path he is guiding the rest.
After guiding a few to the incomplete soul, he suddenly stops as he could tell that he had removed exactly 0.020 soul points even though he can't tell or understand the reason why he knows.
The soul points all enter into the soul that is about to get ascended, then the soul shine as it completes, the warp above the soul opens wider but the suctioning force it was imposing on the soul stops, as the soul slowly materializes into Rack appearance.
At this point everyone could see the soul now, including the just coming Grad and the two Koboles. They all see Rack soul lift gently into the air then the soul stretches it's hand as it grazed Rill cheeks, although they don't contact but Rill feels a cold air graze against his cheek. Then Rack waves at him then it enters into the warp above, as the warp closes, forever closing the chapter of Rack.
Glyscyra looks at Rill, but the face and expression she saw left her stupefied. If Rill was a kitten before, his expression, determination and aura that gleams through his eyes shows that he is now...
... A full grown Tiger.
