338 New System Feature (1/2)
Just as he took two steps, the ghostly figure rushed towards him and begged, ”Please great one, if you don't return the fire orb, my soul will disperse into nature.”
When he heard its words, Ajax stopped and turned back to look at it and asked, ”Why should I give it to you?”
Even though he felt sad about the ghostly figure, he didn't want to return the fire orb.
If he did, then the black kitty would be linked to the fire elemental paradise which he doesn't want to see.
He had to destroy this fire elemental paradise to free the black kitty from the threads that were connected to its body.
Even if he returned the fire orb to the ghostly figure and destroyed the fire elemental paradise by removing the lava stones around it, it would not help in freeing the black kitty.
So, he shook his head at the ghostly figure without any expression in his face.
”Why? Please show some pity on this poor soul that was born just 100 years ago,” The ghostly figure continued to pester Ajax with words as it doesn't have sufficient strength to fight against Ajax.
When he heard its words Ajax didn't know whether to cry or laugh. And said, ”You already lived for 100 years, so now can peacefully die,” Ajax started moving once again.
”Oh great one, I am only 100 years and how can I die at such a young age,” the ghostly figure continued to follow Ajax while saying in a sad tone.
Volcanis and the two infernal spirits looked at their conversation curiously.
Since Ajax didn't order them to do anything and the ghostly figure was not trying to fight with Ajax they only looked as they moved out of the lava pool.
”If you pester me like this I will kill you before you can even disperse due to the lack of fire orb,” Ajax was finally irritated by the pestering of the ghostly figure and warned it.
”Then kill me. It's better to die instead of slowly dispersing into nature,” The ghostly figure came in front of Ajax and looked at them seriously.
”What?” Ajax was shocked at its words and didn't imagine it to say those words.
”Okay fine. Other than that fire orb, is there any way to save you?” Ajax shook his head and asked it.
Even though he didn't know it. If he had a way to save it, he wanted to try it; however, he decided to not give the fire orb back to it and asked about other ways to save it.
”Hmm,” when it heard Ajax's words, the red-coloured ghostly figure began to think.
As it was thinking, Ajax noticed that its body started to disappear slowly like it was dispersing into the lava.
”System, do you have a way to say?” Ajax shook his head at the thinking boulder soul and asked the system.
