Chapter 84: Phantom Body (1/2)
.
.
.
After the massacre I unfolded over the malicious Mold that tried to consume Benladann's mind, I went back to my body.
But this time it feels weird, for a moment, before I could completely adjust to my body, it felt as if I were wearing some kind of suit… I guess this is what it feels like to possess your body again?
But after it stabilized, I only felt a lot of fatigue after spending so much Mana, but that fatigue also quickly flew away as my Mana regenerated at an outstanding pace.
Ding!

Ah, a new Skill!
Ugh…
Suddenly, I feel terrible pain.
It came from the deeps of my body. No… it wasn't my body, it was even deeper than that.
My soul.
It was a pain I had never felt before, but it sure was horrible.
In simple terms, it was as if someone was putting a hundred little needles over your eye, but all over the place.
The pain was so much I was about to pass out.
It felt as if my soul was breaking apart, it had an enormous wound.
Is this because… I forcefully used my Mana and soul to help Benladann?
It… surely was a good price to pay for.
Unngh… I have resisted even the worst types of pain before, but… this was ridiculous.
However, as my Mana regenerated back, I suddenly felt like my soul was also regenerating…
It felt like I had a giant hole in my stomach, and someone was pouring a large quantity of cold water over it to fill the hole… it was strange, but it somehow worked.
As my soul fragmentation stopped, it slowly began to regenerate back alongside my mana regeneration.
I guess I didn't pass out at the end, but that was… a frightening experience.
I have to train this Phantom Body Skill now before I even use my soul for anything else, I don't want to suffer such a big wound ever again.
Ding!

What? Evolve? So by putting my soul into a terrible pain and then regenerating it back, my soul evolves? That's… well, I guess it makes sense if you make the soul be something like a muscle to an extent. But even then, it is rather the terrible way of doing it.
Ding!
<soul density=”” has=”” been=”” strengthened=”” and=”” augmented=””></soul>
Uh… My soul is indeed… growing bigger now.
Ding!
<soul cultivation=”” function=”” has=”” been=”” unlocked=””></soul>

So it even has Realms…
<all of=”” your=”” stats=”” have=”” increased!=””></all>
My stats increased too! I guess this battle didn't actually weaken me, but it ended strengthening me…
I quickly decided to check my Stats now that I felt as if I was born anew, after my soul regenerated and advanced into a new Realm, it really felt like I was as light as a cloud.
