Chapter 7 - Sister or brother?

[Congratulations, you have successfully devoured seven Skeleton soldiers.]

[You have gained a new skill.]

[Undead army.]

[This skill allows you to summon a legion of undead army under your command.]

[You have gained a new skill.]

[Death Aura.]

[You can now emit dark aura as a means of intimidation or resistance to dark energy.]

[You have gained a new trait.]

[Bony structure.]

'Well isn't that sufficient. I'm guessing this new trait means I can create bones in my body whatever way I see fit?'.

[Correct.]

'I know I can't feel pain, but I'd rather not try to have my bones shatter inside me while in battle, so I think I'll just skip on that.'

[Do you want me to permanently delete the skill from your arsenal?]

'Nah, let it feel special.'

[Understood.]

[Regarding the Blops you have stored in your space, I have successfully determined the right solution to the problem, would you like me to explain?]

The Blop took a step outside the dungeon room, its eyes scanning the place.

'Uhn? You mean my brothers? What about it?' He replied as he continued to work.

[Using your Ultimate skill Soul Dominion and Ultimate skill Predator. Making one of the Blop in your possession have a different body is possible.]

Lumin suddenly stopped.

'And you're 100% sure about this?'.

[Yes I am.]

••••

Silence -

'And just like that, I indeed, became the savior of my inanimate brothers. Let's do it!!!'.

Lumin used his Predator skill to pull out one of his Blop brothers from his arsenal and then, a completely reconfigured Skeleton soldier.

He placed them opposite one another, while he remained at the side.

Looking at the Blop, Lumin could tell he had gotten rather bigger, about 2 inches bigger, and he looked more alive than the stone bricked Blop brother.

'Okay, so how do we begin? And why can't I just do it for the rest of my brothers?'.

[Although you have enough magical energy to indeed sustain four binded souls, your mental capacity will collapse on itself.]

'Ah I see, mainly because I'll be the one supplying the form with magical skills and all that. Ahh well, worth the shot, let's work on this one first then.'

[I will start the process.]

On the ground, a magic circle suddenly conjured, covering the area where Lumin and the two inanimate beings were standing.

[Skeleton soldier has been identified. Condition is in perfect health.] [Blop species have been identified.]

[Extraction of soul can now proceed…]

The magic circle began to glow.

'Alright, Soul Dominion!!!'

White strings spread from Lumin's body, completely enveloping the Blop follower.

A dark energy-like substance began to extract itself from the Blop into the white strings before it went inside Lumin.

[Soul has been stored.]

[Soul has been binded.]

[Skeleton soldier has been purified of dark residual energy. Soul transfer can begin.]

[Mana has been infused…]

[Transferring soul into vessel…]

[Completed.]

The Skeleton warriors' eyes suddenly had a blue glow. Its body was now leaking with mana- Lumin's mana.

[Dominion has been placed on the soul… your… consciousness is adapting to vessels. You have full control over the skeleton.]

Gbim-!

Lumin felt a huge surge of mana pull from his body, he stumbled a bit, trying to catch his breath as his mana began to restore.

'Alright, now I know why the system said more than one is deadly, damn, that felt like it was my own soul getting sucked out.' Lumin said, slowly finding himself back.

[The Skeleton Blop has awakened.]

Lumin gently looked up to take a look at the skeleton, and to its surprise, the Skeleton was staring back at him.

'It actually worked.'

Lumin said excitedly. He turned his head to the side, and the Skeleton did the same thing.

He jumped to the side, and the Skeleton, although he hesitated, took a step to the side.

'Hahah, I did it! Might as well call me Odin at this point.'

Lumin moved closer to the Skeleton.

One thing was for sure, Lumin didn't have the ability to speak. He is a Blop, and Blop can't speak.

But then again, he is not like other Blops.

Using his Mana manipulation, Lumin was able to create magical vibrations within his body in the best way he could, and then-

"Yo there my man, how are you doing?!" Lumin spoke out loud.

His voice wasn't thick or small, it was somewhere in between, like a man who was just going through puberty.

As soon as Lumin spoke, the Skeleton got startled a bit.

"Eh? Dude, what's up with you? You having a seizure?" asked Lumin.

[I believe it is slowly trying to understand what is going on, being able to walk and hear sounds is a bit overwhelming. And language isn't a thing Blops are known for.]

'Ah, I see, that makes sense. If my Blop brother is having issues understanding, can you transfer some of the needed knowledge to it so it can understand everything sooner?'.

[Certainly.]

[Knowledge has been transferred.]

'That was fast. Can it understand me now?'.

[Yes.]

'Okayyyy.'

"Dude, can you understand the words coming out of my mouth?" Lumin asked.

Once again, the Skeleton was startled, its hand covering its face.

"Ahh, this is so embarrassing, how am I able to understand you?."

The skeleton said with a female voice.

Lumin was instantly shock driven.

'Eh? Ehhhhhh?! Why does he…she, it has a female voice?!'

[The skeleton in question must have been from a female specie, Blops are genderless, you merely came into conclusions about them being males]

'Ahhhh, screw you! Damn it, it's a girl? Damn, girls cause nothing but trouble. This is giving me fifth grade PTSD.'

"Uhmm… excuse me, are you perhaps the one that gave me a body?" asked the skeleton.

'I thought you said you transferred the necessary knowledge?!'.

[According to your fear, The skeleton is a girl.]

'Right. They always asking obvious question, ahh my truama.' A single tear dropped.

Lumin looked at the female skeleton for a while.

"Yes, that would be me, but you don't have to feel all-"

The Skeleton's face lit up in joy even though she had no features, "I knew it! Oh thank you, thank you, I'll forever be indebted to you, my Lord!!!".

'You knew and you still asked!!!'.
