Chapter 94: Its Alive! (1/2)

These last 7 days I had been not only sharpening my Magic, but also my soul.

Although 7 days is not so much, I have been able to strengthen my soul by a bit through the overuse of the Phantom Body Skill.

Although I have yet to find a way to materialize my Phantom Body, which is somewhat of a representation of my soul, I learned how to… well, cut it.

I had actually realized I could bend my soul the moment Phantom Body reached Level 3.

Bending it, I was able to move it around to my will, sometimes overextending a tentacle made of soul or stretching it as if it were a mantle.

Albeit it wasn't so much, when I used a lot of intent, I could tear it down and damage my own soul.

It was painful the first time I tried, albeit the wound was small, I damaged my soul.

However, after I infused mana into the wound and then the natural mana regeneration filled the wound, my soul recovered and suddenly I gained some more soul density, increasing my Soul Cultivation Stage to Middle Stage.

Like this, I discovered I was able to bend and damage my own soul by stretching it like a piece of fabric until it broke, and then recovered it through natural healing to make it stronger.

But each time the soul breaks, it hurts horribly.

And Pain Resistance doesn't affect my soul, only my body.

So every time I wanted to train my soul, I had to bear with the horrible soul pain, which is several times greater than normal physical pain… It was so painful that I was feeling fatigated where I shouldn't, and I couldn't easily do this every day.

But I still did it.

Yeah, I simply decided to live with the pain.

Although it was horribly painful, and it still is, every day I at least broke my soul once…

Only rip it open a little bit, and then I let it regenerate automatically through pouring mana into the wound.

Like this, I slowly accumulated soul density over 7 days, which amounted to reach Upper Stage in the Realm I currently was in Soul Cultivation, making my soul even stronger… well, it might become even stronger after I manage to reach the next Realm.

But that's not the important issue here. The important issue here is that… I managed to divide my soul!

Yeah, it weakened me.

It weakened me a lot…

But I did it for the sake of experimentation!

I am still recovering from dividing my soul, as I've gone all the way down to the Initial Stage again.

It was a fitting sacrifice for my very first creation, of course.

When I split my soul, I did the same thing I did when I damaged it.

I manipulated my soul and accumulated a lot of it, and then I stretched it until it came out.

When it came out, a split soul would probably… I don't know, dissipate into the air?

But instead of that, I infused a Split Mind into it beforehand, and when the split soul was cut off, it gained sentience and became something like a tiny will-o-wisp.

I am an ice dragon but maybe I have the aptitude to be a Dracolich!
