Chapter 327 - Hunt (2/2)
”That isn't all, Nik.”
Sky suddenly spoke, ”Stop looking for answers.”
Nik frowned as he passed through the cobblestoned pavement.
”Even if you find a few, it will only lead to more questions. Mystery is a concept best suited to pretentious philosophers and the free minded.
You are neither but a man motivated by past adversaries.”
”So you did know Undead Lucifer.”
Nik pointed out.
Sky did not deny anything and accepted Nik's words, ”We had our skirmishes.”
”By 'we', are you implying Undead Lucifer and you...
Or 'I and you' we?”
”I meant the three of us.”
Sky whispered and Nik frowned, ”I thought you were a spirit birthed from me.”
”In this life, I am.”
”You are not making any sense.”
”Exactly my point about mystery.”
Nik flinched before chuckling.
”Whatever. I cannot bother with all of this now,” Nik spoke before inquiring, ”But what's with the part where I have to infuse spirit energy within various items and plants?”
”This world's law only allow the Spirit Beasts to leave a spirit ring. I reckon that this wasn't true in the past and every entity capable of holding a consciousness could have cultivated spirit and would have left a spirit ring after its demise.”
Sky replied as realization touched Nik's expression, ”The spirit rings for poison plants needed by Asmodeus and few swords needed by Lilith.”
”Exactly.”
Nik nodded after a moment.
”Alright, thank you, I guess.”
”No need to thank me,” Sky chuckled softly, ”Just...” She hesitated for a moment before speaking up, ”Just remember to visit your spirit world every now and then. We all are your spirit... so we enjoy looking at you.”
”Ooh~”
Asmodeus' hot coo rang and disrupted the conversation as Sky's presence flinched and disappeared. Meanwhile, Asmodeus' cackled, ”Nik! We ought to have purple poison next! That way, we can quickly make me more awesome!”
Previously, Nik had no way but to find the grass in the wild. But now, he might have another option that was relatively easy.
”Sure thing.”
Nik nodded as he could see the outline of the Holy Orchid Institute when Lilith's voice rang out, ”My spirit rings, too.”
”Yea, yea.”
Nik grinned broadly and entered the institute.
