Hearing all the benefits I would receive, my eyes began to sparkle, they were indeed wonderful rewards for creating such a thing.
I stood up immediately, they wanted to start as soon as possible with the process of creating the magical consciousness. Seeing me standing up, Emerald gave me a strange look.
I didn't have time to ask why that look when she commented; "Creating the magical consciousness, as I told you, you should be incredibly focused on it, the most advisable thing to do is to sit in lotus position and start the process." He explained calmly, his words made me feel a little embarrassed.
I got so excited that I was thinking about creating my magical consciousness by fighting with a two-headed dragon, fortunately or unfortunately it was not the case.
But another doubt arose in my head; "Would it be safe to do such a process here? Isn't it better to go down to the training area?" I asked with caution and curiosity, I didn't want to destroy the TV, even though I was no longer with me the Sanctuary Of Love (:c) there were still some interesting programs and besides, after three years they must have one or another super interesting program, right?
"It's a peaceful process that only links your body to your soul and mana, so don't worry, as long as nothing goes wrong you won't make a mana explosion here" Emerald replied with a smile of amusement on her face, my teacher is indeed someone who likes chaos.... 'I'd like to know why he's so afraid of the Baron.
'Speaking of him... Where will he be?' I wondered inwardly, as I walked and sat back down on the comfortable sofa.
Leaving that luxurious gentleman aside, I got into lotus position, with my hands resting on my knees and with a straight posture, breathing deeply, expelling the oxygen in a harmonious way; I lasted like that for several seconds with my eyes closed, until I finally started the process.
I could feel Emerald sitting on my side of the couch, giving me advice.
"Concentrate on absorbing the mana and directing it to your head, with that try to connect your soul with your body and mana" Her calm and gentle words helped me relax, making the process easier.
I started absorbing mana into my body using my own mana to draw them in, I directed the mana into my veins, connecting to my heart and then all that mana was directed into my head, especially my brain.
Beads of sweat began to appear on my forehead, falling on my closed eyes, chin and finally sleep.
The process of creating the magical consciousness is more difficult than I originally thought, not that it was very difficult either, but it was not easy either, the concentration one must have of the Mana and your body must be amazing to accomplish the procedure.
'Now... With possibly the most difficult thing' I said to myself as I now had the mana accumulated in a specific place in my brain, a place that took up minimal space but had no real function.
I didn't think much of it as I accumulated the mana there, thus creating a light blue sphere of almost imperceptible size.
Now comes the soul, the hardest part since I could never really feel my soul completely, but this time I was determined to connect with my soul.
Concentrating as much as possible on myself, the mana and my brain, I began to go into a trance.
Although I had my eyes closed, I could feel my vision getting darker and darker, it was a strange but at the same time terrifying feeling, yes, I had an indescribable fear now, almost the same as when I saw the mass of darkness on the shore of the Primordial Domain.... No, my primal fear was much greater now, twice as much, three times as much? I simply did not know.
My body shook uncontrollably, my sweat increased even more and at this moment I wanted to just open my eyes and hide in a giant hole, but I knew that if I did that I was going to be crippled or in an eternal coma, so I had to control my fear, at least a little bit.
"You can open your eyes, your consciousness is no longer in reality" A deep voice full of righteousness startled me, that obviously wasn't Emerald's voice, it was very similar to the Primordial's voice but slightly different, as if this voice had the same power but its identity distant.
"Fine" I still wasn't going to let this being hear my voice full of fear, I was too proud to do such a thing, so I responded as nonchalantly as possible, at the same time slowly opening my eyes.
What greeted me was... A spirit? No, it was my soul, an illusory humanoid figure of crimson color and had a dark black aura around it, it possessed a size of 1.45 meters that was so far away and at the same time so close to me, it was hard to explain but I felt it terrifyingly far away from my body, as if it was a million miles away, but I could see it as if I was only 50 meters away from it.
Curiously it possessed the same size it had when I woke up in the forest.
The dark aura that surrounded him was moving erratically, in fact I hadn't noticed it before but everything around him was black, like a cube of infinite darkness... Just like Lord Chaos'! I couldn't see through it, everything was infinite, is it an entity as powerful as a Primordial?
But before I came to more terrifying conclusions, his voice brought me back to the world; "I am you, your soul" He replied with an eerie white smile on his face.
His statement left me in shock.... That was truly me, my soul?
But before I could ask, my supposed soul took a step towards me, that step broke the space so that with that simple movement, despite the distance that separated us, I was face to face.
He floated in the air, to then extend his hand and with his index finger touch my forehead, that course of actions was exceptionally slow but for some reason I could not move an inch nor much less speak, so, when his index finger touched my forehead, I felt as if my head was spinning round and round until finally, I lost consciousness.... Not before hearing his words, words that made me shudder.
"Get ready... One day I will take back what is mine."
