Chapter 76 - The three Gods that came from the first flame (1/2)
Ellis wasn’t weak, but she simply didn’t have experience fighting with supernatural abilities.
After all, she was originally just a noble girl with a quirky hobby, even though she had absorbed the memories of many experienced knights and warriors, they too were only normal people with no contact with the supernatural.
Negary was greatly superior to Ellis in both overall control of power and the grasp of timing in battle, furthermore, Negary was indeed stronger than Ellis, so once he seized the opportunity, Ellis was swiftly defeated. Most of her soul form had already been destroyed, leaving only a small part behind.
〖 It seems there will be another Ghostmen soon 〗looking down at Ellis in his hand, Negary handed her over to Granny Seal’e before his body completely broke.
The Ghostmen troops hadn’t been expanded on a large scale over the past few years for a few reasons. Firstly, not everyone was suitable for being implanted with a secondary soul. Secondly, Negary had been conducting another research on remnant souls in recent years, so resources were more inclined to that research. The Ghostman were also fine as they were currently, so there hadn’t been any expansion.
At the present, there were a total of 9 official Ghostmen who were implanted secondary souls. Aside from two or three of them remaining in Reya to maintain order, most of the others had been sent to perform various tasks. Which usually involved travelling to various places to obtain documents regarding the ancient era, or infiltrating other organizations to obtain intelligence.
〖 Nala has arrived at Colomier and officially joined in their counterattack. I need you to help her in secret 〗 Negary ordered the three Ghostmen, and then turned to Granny Seal’e: 〖 Granny Seal’e, bring Ellis back to Reya 〗
“Understood, My Lord” everyone responded.
Negary’s dragon body gradually collapsed and turned into a pool of blood without any glow while Negary had left this place. Originally, it could have supported the form for a bit longer, but after he used [Dracotongue], the inherently unstable body could only collapse ahead of time.
The so-called [Dracotongue] wasn’t just a language, it was also a great power. The normal human vocal cord was simply unable to produce the syllables of [Dracotongue]. Even if one could somehow imitate the sound, they wouldn’t be able to use the power contained within those syllables.
There were strict conditions to using [Dracotongue], so much so that each of them was an obstacle on its own, unless one fulfilled all of them, it would be impossible to use [Dracotongue].
The first crucial condition was [Dragon’s Pressure], the spiritual weight of [Dragon’s Pressure] created a type of harmonization with the world. If [Respiratory Art] was to change one’s own rhythm to harmonize with one’s surroundings, then [Dragon’s Pressure] was to coerce the surroundings to harmonize with oneself.
And the second crucial condition that must be fulfilled for those who sought the power of [Dracotongue] was that their soul must be biased towards the ‘dragon’ attribute. Furthermore, the user’s spirit, or rather the quality of their soul must at least reach the first stage of release.
Otherwise, if you used [Dracotongue] forcibly without having a qualified soul, you would either be oppressed by the power of [Dracotongue] and become an irrational lunatic like the Bizarre Scales, or your soul would be completely drained, you would die and your True Spirit would leave.
Even Negary need to activate the dragon factor within Soul’s blood to form the dragon body before he could use [Dracotongue]. As for his soul attribute, if he really wanted to point out a clear bias, it should belong to the ‘manipulation’ attribute.
The ability he obtained from his pseudo-release was Germ Manipulation, later became Virus Control, while Jack who was implanted a part of the soul derived from him as his secondary soul obtained Animosity Manipulation.
However, among the Soul Essence that Negary absorbed, there were those who had the ‘dragon’ attribute. It was through manipulating this ‘dragon’ attribute that Negary became qualified to use [Dracotongue].
