Chapter 775 - You Seem Off (2/2)
Hmm… It was cute but so strange. Normally, Andonara had always been the sexy type, so why was she acting cute now?
While eating the cake, Roland asked, “By the way, did you get that Goddess of Magic statue in the backyard?”
“Yeah, I’m starting to believe in the Goddess of Magic now, and I plan to be her Priest.”
Roland blinked in surprise. For a purely physical profession that couldn’t cast spells, believing in a god and gaining access to divine spells was a good way to increase strength.
While the power of their divine spells would certainly be slightly inferior to a Priest with a truly high Perception attribute, it was better than not being able to cast spells. “It would be awesome if you could get access to Teleportation after becoming a Goddess of Magic believer.”
Andonara was already at the pinnacle of melee combat. If she learned Teleportation, she’d truly be unstoppable.
Maybe it’s the result of believing in a god?
I heard that once a Priest believes in a god, there is a slight change in personality because they identify with the god’s philosophy and can even perceive the spirit of the god.
That would make sense.
Roland nodded and didn’t think any more about it.
He never feared Andonara’s soul changing.
Because quite simply, he was a Mage and was exceptionally sensitive to mental fluctuations.
People’s mental fluctuations weren’t quite the same and changed from day to day. This was caused by emotions.
But the inner mental core wouldn’t change.
The core of Andonara’s soul was, as always, completely intact.
After eating the cake, Roland went to take a shower, and then went back to his room and saw Andonara, who was wearing a translucent nightgown, lying in bed, her face flushed. Well… Roland didn’t hesitate to take out a vile of Dragon Meat Reagent from his Backpack and downed it in one gulp. Then with a wave of his right hand, he threw the bottle aside boldly, and like a Warrior who generously went to his death, he said righteously, “Come and fight.”
Both had rested for a few days; it was time for a battle.
It was just clear to Roland that he couldn’t beat Andonara.
At first, he might have a fighting chance, but during the middle and end, he was just meat on a chopping block, at her mercy.
Looking at Roland’s sultry expression, Andonara blushed even more. Then Roland walked to the edge of the bed robotically.
Roland had expected this to be a long battle, but he was wrong.
It was a devastating battle.
He was the winner.
It was unbelievable.
He froze and watched as Andonara kept averting her eyes and shaking all over, then her eyes turned eerily pink.
What?
Roland was quite shocked.
He even felt a familiar divinity leaving Andonara’s body at a very fast speed. Then it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Then Andonara’s eyes turned back to pale gold.
What, what, what!
What is going on?
Roland’s mouth dropped open in surprise as he got an odd, unpleasant feeling.
At this time, Andonara, who had been averting her eyes, suddenly came back to her senses. She stared at Roland for a moment, then with a swish, she rolled over and flung Roland onto the bed.
Looking at the unfulfilled Andonara, Roland understood that this was the woman he was familiar with
Was that… a god or a ghost just now?
In reality, he had the answer.
It was early the next morning when the two finally finished sparring.
Roland put his arm around Andonara and couldn’t help but ask, “How could you agree to something so outrageous?” “You knew?” asked Andonara, embarrassed.
“I’m a Mage. I could feel it when her divine consciousness detached.”
Andonara traced circles on Roland’s chest with her fingers and asked enviously, “How does she feel, huh?”
“Isn’t it still you?” asked Roland, with a strange look in return. “It’s your body; it’s just you that I feel.”
“Is that so?” Andonara smiled wryly.
But she didn’t press the issue any further.
In reality, although it was the same body, it gave a completely different feeling. Andonara was a ripe, sweet but not overwhelmingly so, top-quality mango that one would want to eat all the time.
That pink-eyed version of Andonara gave the impression of a freshly ripened strawberry, which was tart and quite delicious.
Roland thought the strawberry flavor could be developed a bit, like with some seasoning.
Looking at Andonara’s smirking expression, Roland felt he had to take the initiative and said, “You haven’t explained why you agreed to something so outrageous.” “It’s not outrageous, just letting her borrow my body for a while.” Andonara snickered. “Your souls melded and almost touched.”
“That’s different!” Roland explained, “That’s just letting her help me improve my soul quality. It’s proper business.”
Andonara touched Roland’s face and whispered, “I know you are a Golden Son, so you have many ideas that are different from ours. In our case, the most sincere, the most profound love for each other is the mingling of souls.”
Roland froze. “Wait, is this an accepted thing?” “Of course.” Andonara laughed. “Haven’t you read many books? When the Legends in the books fall in love, don’t they all say… ‘I would like to merge my soul with yours, so there’s no distinction between you and me.”” “Isn’t that a way of showing love?” said Roland, startled.
Earthlings also often said so; my heart and yours will never be separated or something like that.’
Isn’t it just a rhetorical technique?
The soul mingling in this world is a phenomenon of love? Roland felt that things were far from good. He was once again deceived by subconscious notions.
In other words, he was wooing the Goddess of Magic?
So why would she agree to such an outrageous request?
Does… she really love me so much?
Roland felt like his whole being was about to drown in confusion.
Looking at Roland’s dumbfounded expression, Andonara said lightly, “Don’t worry. Soon, I will also find a way to mingle my soul with yours. That’s the condition she promised me.”
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm of Magic, Mystra moaned softly and sat on her throne. Her waist kept twisting around for a while.
“That’s too stimulating.”
Her face was red like a transparent carnelian.
