Chapter 415 - 365 : Dragon Blood (1/2)
”I refuse.”
The Fire Spirit flatly rejected the Tri-Spirit's offer, clearly unwilling to merge with another kin. it was surprising to see a Spirit with three attributes, however, that doesn't mean it wants to abandon itself and leave this place.
”Now now, don't be so hasty. I'm sure the benefits outweigh the cons, listen to what I have to say first.”
Arthur and Lucy retreated to the back as to give some 'privacy' to the two spirits. His Tri-Spirit assured him that it'll greatly help him and told him to wait for some time.
They already got the consent of the Fire Spirit so they went to retrieve the Raging Soul bead, which isn't that important since it can grow up again.
They won't take the whole flower but just the bead, which is more than enough for them. This was the perfect place for Lucy to try and merge the two beads. It was a dangerous place devoid of people, no one would dare to climb the mountain if they're not strong enough thus the couple decided to remain here for a few days until Lucy successfully completes the fusion.
The two sat at the top of the mountain, Arthur meditating and Lucy sitting cross-legged holding the two beads, each in one hand.
Strange-colored flames enveloped the two beads, slowly harmonizing with the energy inside of them. The process was difficult, to say the least, as beads of sweat trickled down her forehead as she tried her best to slowly achieve the impossible.
The mysterious flames which are composed of both Fire and Ice, would rotate between white and blue, slowly condensing around the beads, melting them.
Fortunately, Lucy had an incredibly large Mana pool so she wasn't afraid of consuming it all any time soon. After a few hours, Arthur finished his meditation and gazed at his wife, who was still meticulously forging the soul-protecting items.
Losha bestowed her a common technique which facilitated the fusion by a lot. Although it looked easy from the outside, to fuse two opposite attributes is impossible, more so if they're inside powerful items.
Arthur circled around her then started drawing on the ground, soon creating a supportive formation. Its only function was to smoothen the control of Mana and enhance its recovery.
Then, he used [Mana Transmission], [Mana augmentation], and [Magic Enhancement] to boost the quality of Lucy's Mana.
A short time later, an excited floating square hopped toward him while saying
”Master! It's done!”
”Good. What should I do?”
”Wait, not only will we fuse with it but you'll also be able to get the dragon's blood but only for one condition.”
”Condition?”
”It's nothing too dangerous. You'll have to take the mountain with you.”
Arthur's could've sworn he misheard the Tri-Spirit. He furrowed his brows and tilted his head in confusion, not understanding the meaning of the spirit's words.
”This mountain is like a home to the Fire Spirit, a sacred place. It agreed to merge with us if we take the mountain with us.”
”Take the mountain? How is that even possible.”
”I believe that the strange cube in your consciousness can do that.”
There are some treasures that have a separate dimension that can store worlds inside of them. Zodiak's storage is one of them, however, Arthur doesn't know how to do that.
The ARK, being controlled by Claud, is more than enough to store the huge mountain in that endless white space.
'Ugh… is that even necessary?'
The Prophecy Holder didn't object but he seemed unwilling and unhappy with the condition. Before Arthur could ask him, he started talking on his own.
'Well, since it'll be beneficial to you, there's nothing I can do about it… I'll take the damned mountain. Tch! Such a waste of space.'
Arthur was guided inside deep into the lava, exactly next to a drop of blood which shone brightly in that dark environment.
The Tri-Spirit and Fire Spirit faced each other, before the former starting emitting an unstoppable suction power, slowly absorbing the non-resistant spirit.
'Never did I think I would see a Spirit with four attributes. I guess this is a huge gain for you.'-Claud
