Chapter 5 - Split Problem

When Aurelian attempted to probe both souls. He grabbed the first one then the second but as the souls left their body's the grew unstable without a body.

This was something he hadn't even noticed until now.

So Aurelian tried to pull them towards himself but one soul started changing shape while the other stayed a perfect sphere.

The soul he controlled well was approaching his body.

The other soul was growing chaotic and expanding. Without anything to take the form of it grew to 2 meters in only about 10 seconds.

Knowing it was getting closer to his body and he would have to take the other soul inside anytime now he yelled, "Vel, I have a runner. I need your help."

immediately after Aurelian was taken into his Soul signature space. In his mind he hoped Vel could deal with whatever was happening.

Too bad he couldn't control whether he was taken inside with the monster soul yet. 'Hopefully when I awaken' he thought.

…..

Back on the outside on top of the icy mountain, Vel turned around confused, 'I haven't helped at all with this why would he need me.

As she stood up looking over she saw the the soul floating and still changing rapidly above Aurelians body.

Then resemblance of an eye appeared on its form. The eye stared at the Aurelians body below him.

Vel started sprinting over. within a second a large scythe appeared in her hands. Taken out from her soul signature.

The soul didn't seem to notice her. Just slowly trying to merge into Aurelians body.

It had only been a second since the soul had touched his skin on the outside. On the inside Aurelians soul space suddenly went black. Then the ground started shaking like in a earthquake.

Vel arriving at his body swung the scythe in a wide down and to the left arc. Using her awakened ability connected to the scythe she cut at the chaotic soul. This sliced the soul in two.

Right after she grabbed Aurelians collar and flung him backwards towards their camp.

At the same time half of the soul that had been separated withered intangiblely. The other half was separated from Aurelians body.

Next the scythe shined. Or rather it dimmed with a large black smoke around it as she swung again.

As the attack landed the smoke enveloped the rest of the soul and sucked the life out of it over the next ten seconds.

This was Vel's other awakened power in addition to her scythe. Life Drain. causing things to have there life force removed.

The situation had made her act as fast a possible. Causing her to try what she had never done before.

Using Life Drain on a soul was a soul form experience. She was glad she had found a new use. Returning from her thoughts she began to run towards Aurelian at the camp.

When she got there he was coming out of the soul space. Slapping his face angrily(only 5% force) she yelled at him. "What are you doing, you're stupid. How are you just gonna say, 'I've got a runner'. Are you dumb?"

Looking up at her, then feeling his cheek and seeing she didn't use that much force he smiled. After responding, "your slap hurt more than whatever else happened to me. Isn't that assault."

continuing he asked "what ended up happening anyway."

Looking away still angry Vel responded, "the second soul, grew chaotic without a body. Also I assume it didn't get enough of whatever your power is to stabilize it. The soul attacked you dumbass."

"Ah I see, that poses a problem." Aurelian said laying onto his back on the icy ground.

"How so?" Vel asked

"because I don't know how I can move multiple souls at a time. Plus these ones were weak and I couldn't do it. It ruins my efficiency." He said especially dreading the last sentence. It sent shivers down his spine.

sitting next to Aurelian's lying down body. Still facing away as to keep acting angry she suggested, "can't you just use your powers over the whole area your working with. Instead of splitting it into pieces."

Instantly responding while rubbing her back with his left hand. "I've already thought of that. It's just I'm not strong enough yet. I can barely control a 2 meter diameter around a single soul so far. Thos wolves, which were the closest in the entire pack. Their souls were still 6 meters apart."

feeling his hand on her back she finally fully relaxed from her anger and thought of something out of the box.

"Why don't you try to drag and drop. It'll still take a while but it'll get rid of the split problem until your stronger." She said turning around with a smile on her face.

"I see. Should I start now or do you want more back rubs Vel?" Smiling back at her Aurelian flirted playfully.

"Get away from me." Hiding her smile on the inside and showing the opposite.

"Okay suits me." Aurelian said getting up and not looking back.

Vel watching dumbfound angrily cursed him again in her head. "That dumbass, stupid, Baka. He should've kept rubbing my back."

Meanwhile Aurelian approaching the farthest wolf monster from the group began his process of taking out the soul.

Eventually fifteen minutes late he stood up keeping the soul surrounded by his soul signature ability. It was what he like to call Revitalize.

Since it wasn't really 'nurturing' since that would go under the domain of Life and creation.

As of now revitalize had 3 functions. Keeping souls intact. Returning them to their true forms. Finally housing them within his soul, he assumed this was also a function since without the mark from his signature they couldn't invade the soul space.

That was confirmed when he was inside and the chaotic soul tried to enter. Aurelian could feel his signatures resistance to it.

After thinking it over he had already started extracting the next soul. Later, continuing on to the next.
