Chereads / Demi System / Chapter 51 - Sakura's Soul Body

Chapter 51 - Sakura's Soul Body

Adrian's body was engulfed in flame, burning his entire being, along with everything around him, to the point that not even ashes were left.

No matter how many times they saw Adrian regenerate, it would always disturb those watching from Nexus.

After five seconds, a single microscopic atom that had made up Adrian sprung to life, reforming into a single drop of blood instantly. Once the blood reformed, it divided trillions of times a second taking.

Even with that insane regeneration, it took a full 37.21 seconds for Adrian to fully reform.

Moments before he could regain consciousness, six different colored threads found their way back to Adrian's main body.

Once his consciousness returned, the only difference Adrian could find was that the ground and walls around him seemed to have become magma.

Now with the gunk removed from his body, Adrian took a step forward as every bone in his body popped back into place.

Adrian may have a near-infinite life force and mental energy, but even so, he didn't have infinite energy.

After forcefully rebuilding his body from atoms multiple times without rest, his energy reserve finally ran dry.

Yawning, Adrian lethargically whispered, "Huah~ Sakura… Imma take a quick nap…"

Without any further warning, Adrian's mind, body, and soul completely seized as he fell into a coma-like sleep.

Without Adrian's influence, his body lay on the white-hot magmatic ground, constantly using God's breath to restore himself to peak condition.

Adrian had just barely brought Sakura into his mental realm, or pantheon world before even his soul collapsed.

Instantly, Zero noticed Adrian bring a foreign entity into his realm before collapsing.

Once he saw Adrian's soul body seize up, Zero dropped all pretenses, shattering the sky as he seemingly ordered himself, "GODSPEED!"

Luckily for Zero, he could still use life force to activate his ability.

Before Sakura could even grasp what was happening, Zero appeared beside her, grabbing Adrian moments before he fell backward into the ocean of Mythos inches behind them.

Bemo was only a second or so behind Zero's Godspeed, but luckily Zero was fast enough.

Frantically, Bemo appeared before Sakura prodded, "Is he ok?! What happened to my friend?!"

Completely ignoring the ball of cherry-colored light and the walking rabbit, Zero dispelled his command as he gently rearranged Adrian in his arms.

Zero's arms and a part of his chest that Adrian laid against stopped vibrating, but his exposed body was covered by Adrian's husk-like body, so he didn't feel "seen."

Zero teleported up the steps of the temple, leaving Bemo and Sakura behind after reassuring them, "He is fine… just tired."

Once Zero and Adrian disappeared, Bemo repeated himself in a slightly calmer tone, "What happened to my friend."

Sakura wanted to tell the cute rabbit in front of her exactly what had happened, but even she wasn't fully aware.

No one expected Adrian to use up so much of his reserve on something that he had done many times before, especially because his reserve was nearly half-full.

Sakura could only say, ~He used up all his energy and just needs to rest.~

Bemo immediately quipped back, "But he was fine and full of energy just a little while ago? I mean, Uncle Zero's energy was used up too!"

Stunned by Bemo's choice of words, Sakura asked, ~What do you mean, Uncle Zero?~

Shaking his head, Bemo looked up at the ball of light, scoffing, "That's not important! Lady, you're useless!"

After insulting Sakura, not knowing she was technically akin to his stepmom, Bemo hopped twice, covering the entire height of the temple before appearing next to Zero.

Dumbfounded by the actions of beings that were supposedly alternate personalities and pantheon spirits, Sakura examined his orb-like body and scoffed.

~Hump!~

Sitting alone on the beach, Sakura felt useless as she remembered how she couldn't even help Adrian when he was falling, even if she was fast enough.

Somehow her mind came to the conclusion that her current form was the problem.

When she started to change her form, Adrian's mental realm created a separate world to hide her change.

Working with very limited material to create a new body, Sakura abused her connection with Adrian to access the Absolute System on her own.

[Secondary System ability activated… linking to sub-host]

[Link complete]

[Absolute System] (Connection - Demo)

[User: Sakura Walker]

[Race: N/A]

[Bloodline: Nexus Assistant & Demi-Soul]

[Attribute: Enhancement, Psychic energy]

Sakura had only messed with the system to gain access to body knowledge but instead activated a secret perk of the system.

Confused and thankful, Sakura borrowed the knowledge she needed and continued her reformation.

After a moment of deliberation, Sakura decided to focus on a normal humanoid body instead of a perfect body like before.

Her new soul body was relatively short when compared to Adrian, who was 6 foot 4 inches or 195.6cm, as she was only 5 feet 4 inches or 165 centimeters tall.

In the end, her body had to be relatively petite and thin… much to her chagrin.

To make up for that, she sculpted her face and hair to the best of her ability.

She enjoyed herself as she made cosmetic modifications to her new form, as once she forcefully changed her form, there was no going back.

Her skin became white like delicate jade, pure and unblemished.

Her round eyes carried pupils shaped like sakura petals.

Her small mouth and cherry lips hide sharp, almost vampiric k-9s, accentuating her rosy cheeks.

Her long, flowing pink hair cascaded down her back, tapering off midway.

While she might not win any awards as a supermodel, Sakura was more than satisfied by her new soul body's looks.

Without trying, Sakura had made her body fit mostly into Adrian's ideals of what she looked like in his mind.

After her form was finalized, she made an azure summer dress, some underwear from Adrian's memories, and cute shoes.

After clothing her soul body, Sakura finally attached her consciousness into it, and thankfully Nexus recognized it as a viable body.

Seeing her new body be excepted, Sakura sighed in relief as she transferred her consciousness into her new body.

When she came to, she felt the unique and uncomfortable control that came with having a complete body.

Unfortunately for her, her mind was instantly assaulted by senses that she could only previously imagine, including the full brunt of her Lover's bond.

Her body felt uncomfortably hot and sensitive, but luckily for her, Nexus stepped in, pulsing a pink light around her body, calming her impulses.

Looking around, Sakura became scared as she was surrounded by complete darkness, but even that soon faded as she was returned to Adrian's mental realm.

Once she made sure that she was ok, she clumsily started to walk towards the temple steps.
