Chapter 337: The Second Body (2)

Translator: LeoEditor: Frappe

Angele would feel greatly delighted if his hypothesis turned out to be correct.

Blue light flashed in his eyes.

‘Zero, create task. Check if you can search the name of the creature in front of me from the database.’

‘Task created…Checking…Data found…Matching the characteristics…completed…Possible names: 2.’

‘Show me the names.’ Angele was excited upon finally advancing to the next rank, but he was currently more interested in his second body.

Zero did not immediately respond. For some reason, the biochip somehow hung up.

‘Warning…Loading failed…Checking…Searching for errors…Unknown bug detected…System update initialized…’

It was a familiar warning message. Every time the chip found a new update, the message would pop up.

Angele had already advanced to rank 2 and successfully infused his mentality with the elements, so the biochip started to have a new update. This time’s situation was a tad different, however. Usually, it would only take seconds for Zero to complete the update.

His body condition was soon slowly displayed in front of his eyes.

‘Angele Rio: Strength, 12.0. Agility, 11.5. Stamina, 16.0. Mentality, 123.7. Mana, 57.2. Genetic limitation reached. Healthy.’

Angele’s mentality had increased significantly, from approximately 90 units to 123 units, through the usage of the energy conversion magic circle.

The only drawback of him infusing his mentality with fire energy particles was that he could no longer cast any other elemental category spells apart from fire category, or he needed to discover a way to infuse the spells with fire energy particles. Nevertheless, all his fire category spells’ power and area of effect would be tremendously improved.

He could still activate his bloodline signet as always since it would not be affected by the changes in his mentality.

Angele started observing the bird that was flying around in the center of the magic circle while he waited for the system update to be completed. He was trying to compare it with the creatures he knew of.

”It certainly looks like the Phoenix…” This was his initial impression.

The Molten Core River technique itself seemed to form his second body basing on his soul pattern and personality.

In other words, the bird most likely had similar characteristics that of Angele’s ancestor. It was not simply a second body randomly created from the advanced meditation technique.

Angele’s mother was said to be a tree elf, but it was possible that his ancestor was a phoenix.

Interestingly enough, there was another name for the Molten Core River technique’s second body—Ancestral Spirit.

His Ancestral Spirit had its own physical form. Even though it could be kept within Angele in order to sustain it, it still needed to be fed with food and water.

Angele found a few ‘nutritious’ worms and grass and placed them in front of the bird.

The bird only glanced at the food for a moment before turning its head away, indicating that it did not like the food he had given to it.

Angele noticed that there was a red scorpion mark on the bird’s forehead, identical to the one he had.

The bird suddenly stretched out its wings and started singing. It spun several times as it sang as though it was dancing.

It completely ignored Angele and only continued singing and dancing.

‘Don’t tell me that is my true personality…’

As Angele continued to observe the bird as it moved, he felt confused.

The bird was completely engrossed in its own voice that it even had a satisfied look on its face. It then raised its wings and slightly shook its head.

Somehow the bird was not interested in Angele and the food he provided in the slightest.

Goosebumps arose from Angele’s skin. He immediately checked the information related to Ancestral Spirits.

‘One’s Ancestral Spirit will manifest the true thoughts of its owner through its behavior. It neither has a soul nor is it intelligent. If the owner does not learn to properly control their Ancestral Spirit. It will only act on its own instincts.’

Angele was rendered speechless as he looked at the dancing bird again after checking the information.

The red bird started to groom itself with its beak after it finished dancing and singing, just like how a narcissist would.

Angele pursed his lips. He could not believe that the bird’s instinctual behavior represented his true personality.

This bird looked like a narcissistic person who only cared about their own self.

”Well, let me try to manipulate the bird.” The scene was too unbearable to watch. Angele sent his mentality into the bird.
