Chapter 436 Seperation of Soul
His transparent body quickly recovered to solid, and his soul presence also increased manifold. The Dragari King released his grasp, and the energy he had gathered dissipated because of the shock.
The presence coming out of Alex now felt like facing a being that he would not even dare to look at. It was like facing a real God.
"You took over my father's body, now it's your time. Those that sin against me should pay for their mistake."
The aura transformed into something that looked like a large bat, it then opened its big mouth. A huge suction came out from it, absorbing the Dragari King's soul.
MingYue, looking from afar, was confused by how things progressed, "Vesa, how can he do this?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"I honestly never thought this was possible. When the King was beaten up, part of his soul was corrupting the Dragari King. It started changing part of it bit by bit, turning the wavelength into something like the Vampire race.
As the Queen knows, the Progenitor aura is very effective on their own race. The King also enhanced it with lifeforce, which multiplied the effect and caught that lizard off guard."
"So he is now absorbing his lifeforce?"
"I don't think so, Queen. As you see, the King is taking all his soul while disassembling it. I think he's experimenting."
MingYue rolled her eyes; she didn't know if Alex was doing this for revenge or really to satisfy his curiosity, but considering his current emotionless state, it should lean more toward the second part.
What Alex did was like experimenting on a human when they were alive without any anesthesia, cutting them apart, playing with the organs, studying how things work.
Only this time, the human could not die of shock, and the pain was a hundredfold over. The Dragari King roared in pain as his soul was being torn apart; the pain came from his whole presence.
"Impossible! How can this happen? I am stronger than you!"
"As I said, you are a disappointment. You have the strength, but you cannot use it. You may not realize it, but your soul is already wounded.
Why do you think you acted so emotional in our fight? Do you think that's how someone experienced fights?
This is not a novel where we have a God acting like a brat with no brain. From the start, you could have gone all out and finished me, but no, you played around.
Then, taking over my body? Are you sure it's something you planned? Not what my father made you do?
You pitiful King, till the end, my father was playing you by his finger. The body you took over is nothing more than a prison specially made for you."
Alex found all this out while he was corrupting the Dragari King's soul. Otherwise, there is no way he could have succeeded.
At first, he was just testing things out, but after seeing the results, he decided to continue. As for the rest he said, most of it was speculation.
Alex thought his father did something similar to him, but with more sacrifice. He probably used his own soul to create damage and put some thought into the Dragari King.
This is why Alex decided to absorb the Dragari King's soul; he wanted to dissect it not just for experimentation but to look for any of his father's traces.
If there was still some left, he could gather it together and have some hope of fixing it.
Alex might be emotionless, but his mind still worked based on established priorities. He knew he needed to rescue his father for now; as for afterward, he would consider it later based on the situation.
MingYue landed on the ground as the Dragari King was absorbed with nothing left behind.
"You're here. Took you a while," Alex said without looking at her.
His cold treatment made her feel annoyed, but right now, there was something else she needed to do.
"How long do you need?"
"A few minutes should be enough. I just need to group the results before they dissipate. Vesa, help me," Alex said, then sat cross-legged on the ground.
Vesa flew over, receiving instructions from Alex and following them precisely. She first created a rune similar to the one they used on Emily and the others.
But Alex instructed her to make a few more runes surrounding it. That one served as the core, while the rest were supporting runes.
This was a new rune formation he created to hold the disassembled Dragari King's soul.
There was no way he could completely analyze it otherwise.
From his body, a few particles started coming out. The first was green, as it was lifeforce, the second one was white. It looked more like a dandelion rather than a particle, very fragile and could dissipate at any time.
If one focused on it, they would be able to see a silhouette of images on each particle.
The first and second piles kept growing in size, while Alex started creating a third and fourth pile.
The third pile looked like electricity; Alex didn't know what it was, so he just used runes to isolate it, then separated it away.
The fourth one was red particles.
This pile was far smaller than the others, and it gave off a completely different feeling.
Vesa moved around, helping create rune after rune and directing lifeforce energy to ensure the operation was smooth.
In MingYue's eyes, the process looked simple, but for Alex and Vesa, it was like performing a complicated surgery on someone's brain.
The things they separated and moved were fragile and easily dissipated.
One wrong move could trigger a chain reaction that would completely destroy everything.
'This white one should be memory, as for that crackle of electricity, I feel like it's something that bridges the lifeforce and memories like a circuit, it's like the foundation that makes up a soul.
As for the last one, it's the remains of my father.'
