982 Playing with Fire Part 2 (1/2)

The two wisps of divine fire that were cut by Nailisi underwent different changes. The one with the core, which was later pierced, grew more than a hundred times its original size.

If it had not been for Nailisi's squeezing it back, it would have grown still. The power of life within that divine fire was incredibly powerful, and it was constantly raging. The divine fire expanded and contracted in a syncopated rhythm, as if it was breathing.

The wisp of divine fire had lost all of its might, leaving only a thin power of life force behind for Nailisi to consume. Most importantly, it was no longer possible for that wisp of divine fire to devour Nailisi's soul after its core was broken. One of the rules that was imbued within that fire did allow it to open up to Nailisi, however.

She was elated and went to swallow the fire with one gulp. The fire raged within her soul in an instant.

The lineage of the Luoluokaluo depended entirely on consuming the powers of others to advance. So, as the divine fire burned, Nailisi even heard an irrepressible moaning coming from the depths of her soul, which was now filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Then, the ferocious might of the divine fire disappeared without a trace amid the moaning of the Luoluokaluo's soul. Nailisi' soul seemed to almost burst out of her body as the divine fire was devoured by her soul entirely. The fires were no longer within her at that moment.

It had not hurt her to devour the fire in this way at all. Although the divine fire's temperature was actually far above Nailisi's normal tolerance threshold, to her soul, the divine fire simply acted as an unrivaled supplement.

After all, there was no other being that was capable of gulping down divine fire like her, and none would have dared do so either, unless said being was a level 16 true god that was at least a whole level above a pseudogod.

Strictly speaking, the Divine Baby's divine fire was not actually at the true pseudogod level. The existence of the Divine Baby was a carbon copy of all of the rules of the nature goddess.

At present, the Divine Baby was deep within her mind, and that divine fire was something that Saleen had forced out. If things had been going according to plan, the Divine Baby would not even have appeared at all.

She had forcefully robbed her followers' powers, thus enabling her to give birth to the Divine Baby in the shortest time possible. As such, there was no way the Divine Baby could have been perfect.

The Divine Baby had even devoured hundreds of believers, which had made the divine fire somewhat flawed. As Nailisi was unable to pinpoint the core of the divine fire, she destroyed it within roughly an hour's time.

Then, the divine fire's flaw was gone, along with its core, and all that was left of it was a type of rules of life, which Nailisi consumed bit by bit. The half of her soul, which was damaged by the Divine Baby, had regrown as well.

Nailisi carefully used the powers of the divine fire to temper her own soul, but at the same time, she also strengthened the soul bond between her and Saleen. She would have been able to simply wipe such a contract away, but Nailisi did not want that soul bond to be nullified, as if it was no longer around, she would have a hard time sensing Saleen's emotions and thoughts.

There was also the issue of Sensory Sharing with Saleen to consider. Nailisi would not have been able to enjoy such a privilege without that soul bond either.

The injury that had been sustained by her soul healed completely after it had absorbed the divine fire. However, what was troubling was how it would have taken another three to five years before she would have been able to absorb all the divine fire.

There was still a need, after all, to digest that divine fire after it was absorbed. During such a process, there was no way she would have been able to consume anything else. This meant that Nailisi had no way to develop other types of powers for the time being.

Nailisi could not have tolerated being forced into such a passive position. So, she took out the thunder dragon's hide that Saleen had given her and opened her eerie, big mouth. She then swallowed that piece of hide whole! She had no intentions of keeping the facade of a human in front of Saleen, especially since he had already seen everything there was to be see about her!

Saleen had given Nailisi too many pieces of the thunder dragon's hide. In fact, she received three pieces every time the dragon molted. As such, Nailisi continued to devour the hide of that thunder dragon whole, absorbing the rules of lightning that were imbued within it. She did so in order to perfect her Lightning Protection ability.

Saleen sighed, while Nicholas waited for his new Scepter of the Fallen be crafted again, as she was unable to do anything at the moment. However, Nailisi did restart her training again.

At that moment, Saleen had no choice but to allow the Magical Element Tower to rise to the surface slowly on its own. The whirlpool at sea had ebbed and disappeared as the temple collapsed. Saleen then contacted Truman and had him bring the Dragon Remains Combat Vessel to him.

Nailisi trained earnestly, which meant that the tower was not allowed to simply fly, and it also couldn't be allowed to be placed in the dimension stone. So, Saleen simply let the tower float on the sea, with its topmost floors sticking out of the surface as they headed for Ceylon City slowly alongside the ship.

Nailisi was ignoring Nicholas for the moment, as she was focusing on perfecting her skills. The passage of time within the necklace that the thunder dragon was housed within flowed extremely fast, and the thunder dragon also molted frequently.

The thunder dragon perfected its lightning abilities a bit more every time it molted, and Nailisi continued devouring the thunder dragon's hides, which molted at different stages. This allowed her to perfect her lightning abilities, bit by bit.

The process was a rather slow one, but it was also happening too quickly for one to be able to attempt to perfect his or her skills. Until now, there had been no one capable of training skills in such a way. Even the ancient Luoluokaluos had no chance of growing a thunder dragon, so it left behind all of the dragon's molted hide for research.

At the moment, Nailisi took something else from her bracelet. It was the clothing that she had stripped from the true body of the Divine Baby's true body.
