Chapter 302 - Triple, Baby!! (2/2)
Ray grinned and did as Ye Hong informed. The Succubus produced a vial of his blood and poured it onto the Spirit Crystal. Why Ray had vials of his blood stored into his inventory, Nik did not ask. But he observed carefully.
Nik and Ray had already shifted to one of Ye Hong's many hideouts within the city. Even though this place is named Glory City, the area covered by the officials could easily mark this place as a kingdom!
As Ray's blood came into contact with the spirit crystal. The surface of the crystal started to dissolve and the bluish streams of energy flooded into Ray's blood, making his blood on the disappearing crystal glow and float with the help of a mysterious presence. Finally, under the guidance of the strange energy, Ray's blood condensed into a blob and gently floated towards Ray. With a look of anticipation, Ray held his hand out and came into contact with his on blood.
Pccht!
The blob of blood plopped onto Ray's palm and got itself absorbed into his skin. Instantly, Ray felt a current of warm energy traveling past his arms into the center of his chest and then—
Voom!
A wave of energy spread across the well-lit, luxurious room, knocking a few decorations onto the ground as Ray's body was covered in a deep pink glow. A slender serpent, deep purple in color slowly emerged with a soft hiss before coiling around Ray's body. Much to Ye Hong's astonishment, this was merely the beginning. As the pink haze receded and the slender serpent slowly coiled around Ray's neck while observing the surroundings with a dazed look in its eyes, in a bout of violet, a bat-winged pink-furred and fist-sized manticore jumped out of Ray's body and flew up to sit on top of Ray's head with a regal snort.
Nik was sold! They both were cute!!
Meanwhile, with a spirit meter analyzer in his hands, Ye Hong's lips trembled as he muttered out, ”Twin spirits... Innate Full Spirit Power!”
Ray opened his eyes and grinned, ”Guess I'm a great talent, huh... but what's about this twin spirits?”
Ray inquired as he felt something jumping from his head and instinctively, Ray reached out only to have a cute little pink-furred manticore in his arms while Ray's attention was attracted by the snake on his neck.
”These two are my spirits? What are your names?”
Ray tilted his head and inquired as Ye Hong spoke up, ”The spirits don't have names. We are the ones who give them one... if I may suggest, the serpent is meant for great things and is attached to you. It is certainly a divine being so why don't we name it the Heavenly Devou—”
”Then, your Hissy and you are Kitty!”
Ray proclaimed and gave a toothy grin while Nik nodded his head. The names certainly fit into the profiles of his spirits and even the spirits seemed to be pleased with Ray's names. Of course, before disappearing, the serpent gazed at ye Hing with deep contempt.
Even if there was a Heavenly Devouring something, it would have to bow its head to Ray. This Hissy will make sure of that.
It was at this point, Ray felt a throb in his head and felt waves of information regarding his spiritual world flooding into his consciousness.
”Nik, I will have to sit on a few minutes of meditation, so, hurry up! I want to look at your spirits, too!”
”Sure...” Nik shrugged and used a sharp fruit knife in the room to slice his thumb slightly and let a few drops of his blood to dissolve the high-level Spirit Crystal in his hands.
Once again, the moment the spiritually energized blood entered Nik's body and made way into Nik's already unsealed spiritual world and in a flash of crimson, a demonic broadsword pulsating with eldritch forces emerged from the center of Nik's bare chest. Black skull and bones decorated the hilt and the crimson, thick blade gleamed frightful glow.
Just like before, Nik's body flashed violet and a strange violet blob emerged from the center of his chest. The blob was fist-sized and it instantly latched onto Nik's jacket. Once again, Ye Hong's eyes popped out. Alas, the black flash from Nik's body now even attracted Ray's barely concealed shock
