49 Crystal Dragon (1/2)

-Deep Inside the Crystal Cave-

We explored the area and just like the dungeon from the forest exploration,really deep and no signs of monsters around here. This place looks just like a good hideout but the entrance can't be controlled and so far we can't find any exit either. I tried bursting out using spells but it won't even leave a scratch.

”Hey Scy, we still haven't found anything yet, should we just go back and wait until the entrance opens up?” Elou suggested because so far, the passage is an infinite way to we don't know what is.

”Well, we've come this far. I think it's too late to go back. Let's try to go on a bit more. Maybe we could find something worthy of this long walks,” I am not going back without bringing something back.

We still continued our exploration. The more we walk the shinier the crystal becomes. It's been an hour since we left the entrance.

”Let's rest for a bit guys. I need to try something out,” We stopped walking.

”What is it? Do you need to pee? Haha,” Elou joked. Jeez.

”No, I just want to consume the Soul stone I have. Anyways you guys rest a bit too,”

I grabbed the black soul stone and focused my mana into it. After that, I instantly absorbed it back and I felt a strong but strange aura that slowly came to me. Ugh! Darkness covered around me, even the crystal lights disappeared... and then after a while, the darkness faded. The black Soul stone became transparent and the color of it disappeared. Just like that, I absorbed the Soul of the Shade.

”If I was able to kill you when we are in the forest, I should be the one consuming your soul..,” It hurt my head! A scary voice echoed through my ears! It's the same one I heard when the Chimera was chasing me and when I am near death fighting Zeth! What the hell?

”Who are you? Why are you talking to me? Ugh..,” I panicked and said those words while grabbing my head.

”Hey, Scy! Are you ok?!” Elou asked me. He was concerned with what happened to me.

”Yeah, I just got startled a bit. Thanks,” Wow, I didn't expect this.

”Who are you? Is this the Shade who's talking?” I asked using my mind.

”A cheeky brat like you don't deserve me. I just saved your life because I need your mana and if you drop me it would be the end of me,” This is a good AI... they do have their own way of thinking. This one is into killing me.

”Yeah yeah. Just shut up,” He's really annoying.

This time I should consume the other Soul stone too. After consuming it, my body was surrounded by some kind of static energy around my body. It tingles a bit but it stopped after a while. Wooh, it felt different this time. The first one was really strange. It was fear, and uneasiness but right now it felt like there are pins and needles all over my body.

”Hmmm. Oh, I already left that crappy looking stone. This time, I'm with this boy's body. Not bad, I can feel how much power you have,” This time it's like a girl's voice but I'm still not sure.

”Uhm... Hello? What are you?” I asked myself. It feels really weird talking to myself.

”I'm a Thunderbird and you can call me sexy if you want,” Hmmm, I don't know what to say...

”Sorry, not going to happen,” I replied. How can I call a bird sexy? It doesn't sound logical at all.

”What a sulky boy, how about a little kiss from your sister?” Did I dig my own grave? This bird is so annoying. Warden said they sometimes talk but this bird talks a lot.

”No, thanks,” I replied.

I opened my status to check my additional masteries.
