GDK 625: Refining Spirit Demons
Han Shuo could hear Phoebe’s painful crying loud and clear. His heart ached. However, Phoebe was just too possessive and her actions just too harsh, which also made him very uncomfortable.
“Is, is she alright?” seeing Han Shuo’s gloomy appearance, Lisa hung her head down as though she had done something wrong and asked Han Shuo in a low voice.
Han Shuo forced an unsightly smile, sighed, and consoled Lisa, “It’s okay. She will be fine after crying.”
Fanny and Emily did not catch up with them. The thought that the two were now trying to calm Phoebe made Han Shuo feel much more relieved.
Having been in a relationship with the three for so long, this was the very first time that Han Shuo had gotten angry. Although he knew that he was the one at fault, he just could not contain his own temper.
Phoebe had always posed the greatest resistance. She had in fact reacted rather violently when his relationship with Emily and Fanny was first revealed to her. Reacting obnoxiously seemed to have become a usual practice for her. Whenever Han Shuo had an affair with some lady, Phoebe would always fly into a terrible rage out of jealousy. Han Shuo would then have to constantly flatter and soothe her with kind words and beg for her understanding.
Han Shuo understood in his heart that the root cause for all this was that Phoebe’s love for him was simply too deep.
However, Phoebe had spiralled into a fit of rage over and over again; it was getting to be too much. Besides, the die was cast. It was impossible for Han Shuo to side with Phoebe alone. If she were allowed to be a troublemaker, in the future, not only would it vex Han Shuo to the tips of his nerves, she might go on to take an extra mile after being given an inch.
Han Shuo wasn’t a man who would let his women saddle on his head for forever. Perhaps blowing up once in a while would allow him better control over the situation. If not for Phoebe’s overly harsh and unkind language, Han Shuo would most likely have exhorted her with kind words like he always had and slowly dispelled the discontentment in Phoebe’s heart.
“How about, I go back there and explain to her?” Lisa timidly said to Han Shuo. She was very considerate of Han Shuo and she felt ashamed of herself.
Han Shuo shook his head, forced a smile, and replied, “Forget about it. Right now, she’ll only find you irritating, I’m sure. I’m very clear about Phoebe’s stubborn temper. It’s better to just let her calm down for the time being.”
“Bryan, I’m sorry!” Lisa stared blankly for a brief while before she said in a guilt-ridden face. She was on the verge of tearing up again.
Han Shuo caressed Lisa smooth, long hair, and reassured her, “It’s not your fault. Phoebe has held that back for a long time. It was just a matter of time before she erupted. This isn’t all that bad. Alright alright, stop thinking too much. For now, just keep your mind on understanding the stuff in your head. Coincidentally, I have some matters to attend to and will be leaving for a period of time. When I return, I will look for Phoebe and have a chat with her. I believe that she would have calmed down by then and will actually be open to logical conversation.”
“Okay. Please return as soon as you can. I’m going to miss you,” Lisa raised her head to look at Han Shuo and said in a lovable voice.
After talking to Han Shuo for a while, Lisa returned to the school of necromancy. Han Shuo circled around Phoebe using his consciousness and saw that she was no longer weeping with Emily and Fanny consoling. His was slightly more relieved and silently left the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force.
Han Shuo looked for Ayermike Cotton and communicated with him briefly before leaving Ossen City.
By using the magical transportation matrices found in major cities, Han Shuo rapidly made his way to the Cemetery of Death at the Dark Forest. Inside, his two avatars were still slowly and silently recovering from the injuries they received from the last battle. As there was an intense presence of the element of death inside the Cemetery of Death, his avatar that cultivated in the element of death was recovering faster. He sufficed that it wouldn’t be long before he would be as good as new.
The avatar of destruction was recovering at a slower rate but complete recovery wasn’t too far away.
Han Shuo had returned to the Cemetery of Death to uncover what was at the bottom-most layer of the structure, as well as to refine spirit demons, the highest level of demon general, using the three souls that he had recently collected.
As his avatar of death was still recovering, Han Shuo did not rush to explore the so-called secret of becoming a god at the last layer of the Cemetery of Death. Instead, he started out by deploying the formation to refine a spirit demon.
After his twelve mystical demons perished, Han Shuo had been keeping an eye out for the materials required to refine spirit demons. In the Abyss realm, Han Shuo had acquired large quantities of rare and uncommon materials. To add to what he had plundered on the Profound Continent over the many years, he had gathered all the needed material for refining a spirit demon.
–that is except for the most crucial part of the equation. He hadn’t set about doing so earlier because he had not come to possess mighty souls. But now that he had collected the souls of the Light Pope, the old shaman, and the demigod magus, he could finally get started.
