143 Uniqueness (2/2)

”I know, but that's not my problem now is it?”.

Desmond couldn't help but smirk from that, ”your care and affection towards me is as heartwarming as always”.

The rise Zane's will got out of Desmond caused his head to ache. Desmond held his head gently as his brain palpated inside his head.

”Are you sure you did it right my head still hurts?”.

In a huff, Zane's will replied, ”don't question my skills people beg for my assistance all the time There's no way I made a mistake on something like this”.

”Then check because my head feels weird”.

Zane's will didn't believe for a second that he made a mistake but in consideration of how abnormal Desmond's soul fire is he humored the notion and checked Desmond's mind. What Zane's will found inside shocked him. What Zane's will saw would shock anyone who's seen it because what Zane's will saw was an impossibility.

Desmond's mind was still shattered that was normal what was abnormal was Desmond's soul fire. It was completely different than before because Desmond's soul fire was a colorful flame filled with spiritual energy. Now Desmond's soul fire was taking on the aspects of its surroundings and becoming a colorful fog that still raged like a flame. There wasn't a hint of spiritual energy anywhere it was all mental energy. It was an impossible scene made possible by Desmond's flame.

”This can not be, you, how?”.

Desmond looked at Zane's will in confutation while Zane's will gazed at Desmond with shock an wonder.

”This is a treasure an absolute treasure. How in the world could you gain such an ability”.

Desmond still oblivious asked, ”what ability?”.

Zane's will looked at Desmond while calculating the usefulness and probably of Desmond awakening such an astounding ability before he replied to him.

”Your soul fire has altered its form in a way that shouldn't be possible. This leads me to believe your soul fire ability is completely different from what I thought”.

Desmond was intrigued such amazing fantasy things were exactly why he gets up in the morning and now he's discovering that he had an ability that he had no idea about. Though his emotions were suppressed Desmond's blood instinctively began to boil with excitement.

”Well come on don't keep me waiting”.

Zane's will seeing Desmond's desire to know just said it, ”your soul fire can not only alter physical matter to make it ethereal but it can also alter its self to become another form entirely. Allowing it to have the exact same effects as what it's mimicking and because it's your soul fire you can control whatever it becomes without problem. But what's more shocking is what your soul fire has done inside your sea of consciousness. Once your soul fire transformed and became pure mental energy it became a condensed piece of mass. Which is a critical building block for mages and practitioners everywhere to build their sea of consciousness?

Which is not something that should be possible for you currently. The only people that should be able to do that are those who are at the peak of grade 3 or above. This does not mean that your mind is equivalent to those who are grade 3 and up. What it means is that the word talent is practically meaningless to you now because that ability of yours allows you to completely overshadow any genius. Since the growth and foundations of your mind will be at a monstrous level.

Not only that but because you can change spirit energy directly into mental you can easily resupply any lossed mental or even magical energy but I don't know if the same can be said in reverse”.

Even with Desmond's emotions suppressed he became flabbergasted from what Zane's will said because even the shittiest gamer would know what all that implied.

”I'm a walking energy converter how is that even possible?”.

”I don't know, but my original self has a piece of your soul, so help probably figure it out in time”.

City Guard Training Grounds, Delmar City

Still inside the bathroom scrubbing away at the brown stains at the bottom of the toilet bowl Desmond's mind was going haywire he couldn't stop thinking about what his abilities implied. His soul fire could convert physical matter but could also become another type of energy. It couldn't become something like wood, stone, diamonds ... Ect. But if he obtained something like hellfire wouldn't his soul burn like the flames of hell and since his soul fire can change matter doesn't that mean he can bring hell with him where ever he can go.

The more Desmond thought about it the more Desmond hated the war because now he has to waste his time fighting when he should be experimenting. Desmond can feel that the piece soul fire inside of his mind isn't finished integrating because once he left his secret base he suddenly gained the ability to smell everyone soul's and essentially their emotions So, it made him wonder what ability he would get once the process was over.

Though Desmond was quite pleased with what he received he did also ponder upon how he got these special abilities and if he was special or not because if he wasn't doesn't that mean that there are thousands of other souls like Desmond with the same or similar abilities? Desmond hoped that wasn't the case but knowing his luck he knew it was probably true.

As Desmond cleaned the toilet a monstrous hand pointed over his shoulder and said, ”you missed a spot”.

That person was Zane's will though Desmond had no thoughts about it before he ultimately decided to bring Zane's will along with him because he was going to participate in an actual war. Desmond knew that could actually die at any moment so to prevent that Desmond took Zane's will along with him. Zane's will may grumble and express his detest for everything but Desmond saw the conversation Zane had with Seraphine and knew that he wouldn't let Desmond die so easily. He may watch as Desmond's body gets blown to pieces but so long as Zane's will saved Desmond's soul in the end from fading away or being captured Desmond didn't care.

While Desmond continued to clean with Zane's figure looming over him someone came into the bathroom shouting at everyone.

”All of you stop what you're doing and move it. We need all the fresh bodies we can get down at the south wall”.

”Sir, but we were told to - ”.

”I don't care grunt this order supersedes whatever you were told the entire facility is moving out now so get to it”.

Without any talkback Desmond and everyone else dropped what they were doing and rushed to their respective stations.
