Chapter 518 - Transmigration Heart (2/2)
Focusing on the demerits instead, Ray whispered out, ”Then let me state the Cons...
One, instead of easily filling our world root by killing, we would need to complete nine 'karmas' respectively to unlock a single shackle. Two, we won't be able to access the collection of hosts and their items that can be found in the Transmigration Paradise. Three... well, we cannot use our main bodies and need to climb the ladder using our phantoms covering the Transmigration Heart instead. So, that basically puts as at the lowest level unlike when we travel various existence using Transmigration Paradise.”
Nodding at both of their words, Brian continued calmly, ”There are many ways to travel different existence, or records, or worlds, or whatever you wish to call them. Transmigration Paradise bypasses the will of that particular world and smuggles you in, meanwhile, the Transmigration Heart would actually create a phantom existence and then, warp itself there, bringing you alongside. As you both stated, it has its pros and cons, but... if you decide to join me... we can connect our Transmigration Hearts, making so that we travel into a particular existence together.”
”You mean...” Nik whispered, his eyes glowing a little with gratitude.
”Yes. Even if we are not a part of Transmigration Paradise later on... I would like for us to keep our... partnership, no, I am comfortable enough to call both of you my acquaintance—”
”We are friends, we get it. No need to be shy about it, geez~!” Ray sipped on his wine with a smug smile. Seeing Brian writhe in embarrassment served as an amusing factor to the two.
”Wait, I don't get one thing... sure, we can use our phantom bodies to reach the peak of the particular record and use their methods to reach the peak... how would it benefit our real body?”
”Karma, remember? Phantom is simply a name given to a blank existence that would be a vessel to us. To properly make fool of that particular world's will,” Brian groaned, ”the Phantom will actually have its own life. For example, if I wish to transmigrate, I would send a phantom, set an age in which I would want to jump. Now, if I chose age... um, if I decide to transmigrate when my phantom is 19 years old, it means that my phantom has lived independently for 19 years, and has already formed his own thoughts and ambition. And 'that' is Karma. If I am able to fulfill the desires of my phantom, then, I'll be able to absorb all of the energy compressed into the purest form into my main body and that is the way for us to get stronger. This kind of strengthening is also called the 'Heavenly Devil's' way.”
”Aside from that name... I think I can accept everything,” Nik nodded.
”How about... Possession Advancement?” Ray chimed, pulling an approving nod from Nik as Brian's brows twitched, ”Guys? Did you maybe lose your reasoning and simply cannot get serious anymore? The Heavenly Devil's method is actually—”
”Possession Advancement system...” Ray interjected with a poker face.
”Anyway,” Nik grinned, ”Friend,” his words instantly making Brian avert his eyes, ”the fact that I don't have to fear death while traveling is the greatest boon...”
”But, if you can, I would like you to postpone the absorption of the Transmigration Hearts for two reasons— First, you probably need to pass the Rank up quest and that would essentially save you nine travels. Second... we should probably attend the auction before leaving the Paradise for good...” Hearing his words, the two nodded in understanding. The auction set by two rank 9 members... was something that they didn't wish to miss and while Brian had already completed the requirement of being Rank 2, the two L.u.s.tful comrades of the Temporal Fiend had yet to complete the requirements.
Storing their Transmigration Hearts respectively, the two continued to chat casually. Quoting Naruto and others as Nik finally looked at his Rank-Up Mission.

Join?]
”Hmm,” looking at Ray, who was already gazing at him, Nik shrugged, ”I still have my [Scroll of Pardon], so, I'd rather join in and save my stats and skill points, until ranking up. And... yeah, what do you say? I don't want to enter this place again... so, I want to join the Paradise Wars now.” With all the good impression of the system destroyed after the forced trade, Nik did note a priority to get away from the system for the good and now that he had a chance, he definitely wanted it.
”Anyway, now that we are on the topic of trusting each other,” Nik smiled, ”I want to confess something to... of course, no comments while I am directing my legendary tales!”
