Chapter 88: Strange Soul (1/2)

As I continued the Soul Training with Benladann, I continued to touch her soul with my own.

The moment I did, we felt a strange, mental connection between the two.

It was as if she was now able to talk to me telepathically, the same way I do with my Telepathy Skill.

I expanded my Phantom Body through her soul, as we felt a mystical connection.

”T-This is… strange, Drake…” said Benladann.

”Sorry if it is awkward, let me stop for now,” I said.

”No… It is fine, if it is you who is inside me, it's fine,” said Benladann.

Eh?! Why did this sound so weird?

This is just souls, why does this girl have to make it sound so strange…

No, stop thinking about this, let's just continue with the soul training.

Cold mind, cold head.

”I see… Anyways, I believe your soul is rather… strange,” I said.

”Strange?” asked Benladann curiously.

”Ah… Don't mind it, relax…” I said.

”Okay…” said Benladann obediently.

Indeed, it is strange.

When I touched Benladann's soul, it felt… rather different.

In fact, it felt completely different than mine. It was as if her soul was strangely larger, but wrapped up in itself…

The strangest part is that unlike my soul, which felt icy and tranquil, her soul felt… like slime, it was constantly moving around as I moved my Phantom Body inside of it, and it sometimes entangled itself around my soul and then let me go…

As I put all of my senses into it, I decided to see the entire soul.

I closed my eyes until I felt it, her soul.

Ah…!

What… is this?!

I glanced at Benladann's soul, but instead of what one would think a soul would look like… this… soul was…

Completely pitch black, like an abyss.

It resembled a constant mass of darkness expanding and contracting itself, as several tentacles came out of it only to enter again.

It was slimy and oozy, like… the mold.

As the mold completely assimilated her soul? Or has her soul been like this ever since before this?

How did… this came to be?

Her soul is like the mold itself? But how?

Was her soul different before being given the mold in her past life?

Ah, of course, she wouldn't know but… It only makes it stranger.

There are many mysteries, more than I had expected to find.

Benladann's soul seems to be a completely new enigma altogether.

But if it so big, why did it felt so weak?

Hm…
