”Pinaka?” Yan Zaizen felt the name itself was strange by his world's standards, but thinking about it, an armament's name is determined by its owner. What right did he have to say the name was strange?

”Does this name bother you?” The voice resounded, obviously dissatisfied with Yan Zaizen's tone.

He only chuckled lightly at her question. In truth, it didn't bother him as much as it spiked his curiosity. Regardless, he wasn't going to try to get into it with this spirit. ”Do you not have a form?” He responded with a question instead, avoiding hers.

Suddenly, in front of Yan Zaizen, grey misty wisps gathered. They continued gathering until they formulated a humanoid-shape, and then continued to become further defined. The height of this spirit was similar his own, but its shape was womanly. It developed graceful curves, a slender waist, voluptuous breasts, and perk buttocks. It was the image of a woman with all of its extraordinary traits many men dream of.

The spirit kept forming until its appearance solidified into that of a grey-robed woman with jade-like skin, grey eyes, and dull silver hair. Her lips looked semi-full with a soft glisten to it. Surprisingly, Yan Zaizen wasn't filled with sexual desire when he stared at her. Instead, he felt an abundance of curiosity.

It wasn't that he didn't find this gorgeous woman attractive, but his thoughts were focused elsewhere. The time in the Deep Mines shaped him differently, and he didn't treat beauty as his main trait of desire in a woman. A trait he desired, but not one he desperately needed. In his youth, Ya Qinqan was beautiful to him, and yet the him now wouldn't select her as his ideal woman.

Pinaka saw Yan Zaizen's innocent eyes at her form and couldn't help but be surprised. Typically, when she roamed the realms before, any individual who truly saw her form would grow lascivious. Had her charms dwindled due to the time or did she find a man who had different preferences?

”You've let me in for a reason. You're going to explain?” Yan Zaizen patiently asked.

Pinaka realized that this boy seemed to possess a calm mind, this was worthy of her appreciation. ”You were right. I'm dying. I need your help. I need your soul energy.” She explained.

Soul energy? It seems that Spirit-rank armaments feed off soul energy. If one thought about it, it made sense considering their forms. ”Couldn't you simply take it?” Yan Zaizen asked. In truth, he realized he wasn't a match for this woman in terms of the soul. She pulled his soul form into her sea of consciousness almost instantly, and he couldn't do a single thing to fight it off. If she wanted to take his soul energy, it's likely she could just absorb his entire soul.

Pinaka, however, didn't do this. ”You think I'm an idiot?” She responded coldly, her eyes containing some hostility for the first time.

Yan Zaizen was dumbfounded. Why would she think he was treating her as such?

Pinaka furrowed her brow, looking at his surprised reaction she doubted herself for a second. After a while, her hostility dissipated and her voice returned to its normal calm. ”Your soul is protected. If anyone tries anything, they'll trigger whatever trap that was laid there.”

What?

WHAT?!

A trap in my soul?

”What do you mean?” He was honestly stupefied. Yan Zaizen has never been conscious of his eliminating beings of unnatural prowess or sending the heavenly light of annihilation running to the hills. This was the first time he was informed that his soul held a trap.

Pinaka was still calm. ”I don't know the details, but your soul has a trigger. Anyone who's foolish enough to attempt to forcefully harm your soul would trigger a mechanism. I don't know what it would do, but I know doing so is suicide. Even if you do not know, that's the case.” She was rather patient with her words, explaining in detail, but since she didn't know the specifics, she simply said what she could.

Yan Zaizen fell silent for a long while. He softly touched his glabella. He remembered the black hole in the Meteor Ring. It looked like his soul forms eyes, and his glabella looked like it but swirling continuously. He felt an unnatural connection to this swirling black hole as if it was protecting him. He couldn't explain such a sensation before, but with Pinaka's innocent verification, it seems that's the case. It was protecting him.

But why?
