Chapter 46 Part5 (2/2)
[...I do! I do, but...!]
[Then there's your answer. Contract established.]
He didn't have any more time to waste with her. He still had some precious comrades of his to save. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo firmly declared.
[Then live. Think about the rest later.]
[Hey, wait. No, this... Geuk. Guaaaaaaaah!]
Thus far, she had only experienced superficial pain. Because her own mana had been resisting the ambient mana, she hadn't turned into an undead.
But once he finished speaking, the undead curse, the light, Annihilation Flame, and his mana equally covered her, initiating the change.
Death had given her a kiss and pa.s.sed by. And the next stage had come right after.
[You're just going to change a little bit.]
[Guaaaaaaaah!]
Seira screamed however, at the changes her body and soul were undergoing. The white light and the jet-black darkness entwined together and began to change her body and soul.
[Giiiiiiiik!]
[Oh, she's changing quite a bit.]
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo just watched vacantly as she let out her horrific screams, and enjoyed the fact that the mana explosion was more intense than he'd expected.
'Ah, maybe it's more intense because she could originally use light?'
The undead opposed light. Thus, Seagald Von Retadane, who possessed the light element, could act in opposition to his instincts as an undead... But at the same time, the process of becoming an undead must've been quite difficult for him.
So, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo was relieved that he was supervising her undead transformation himself. He was an undead and the possessor of both the light and darkness elements, so he knew how to handle them so that they wouldn't oppose each other. He controlled the flow of mana that was changing her calmly and meticulously.
[Aaah...!]
[Calmly follow me. Calmly.]
[Ugh...]
It was a mysterious experience. It felt like he was creating Seira's new body. And 'in order to live', Seira followed his instructions and moved her mana accordingly. Her human body, which had endured over several years, broke apart naturally and her mana began to construct a new body for her.
It was more powerful than her old one and ironically, possessed more life force and magic than before. Like when Jin had reached level 8, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo used all of his innate abilities to create the body Seira wanted.
'...Good. It's going well. She really is beautiful.'
Fortunately, her starting point was really good, so he was able to create a new body for her without her physical appearance/features changing much. Her acc.u.mulated karma, her inventory, and her Perium must've had an effect on her.
[Aaaaaaaaaaah!]
The equipment she'd been wearing broke apart. In exchange, her naked body was covered by a deep gray dress. It was far greater than any equipment she'd worn in the past!
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo felt it was actually something you would wear at a funeral, but it was indeed quite beautiful.
”Alright. We're all done.”
”Ah. Ah...?”
Could he call her an undead right now... It was hard to answer. In terms of her dying and coming back, she was indeed an undead, but he couldn't really say what the difference between her past body and her current body was.
Her light element had remained unchanged, and was actually more powerful than before. In the process of destroying the Annihilation Flame's mana, a part of that mana was a.n.a.lyzed and imbued to her. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo was the same.
What's worse, he had used his darkness after Seagald's attempt at converting her. Because Lee s.h.i.+n Woo had gone after Seagald's clumsy attempt, Seira had become even more powerful than expected. Or, at least in terms of pure power.
[The Lv8 Undead Banshee Princess Seira has been born and has entered a subordinate contract with you.]
[You have a.n.a.lyzed another fusion element of light and fire. The High Rank Light element has become Lv6 and Magic has increased by 20. The High Rank Fire element has become Lv7 and Magic has increased by 20. The Beginner s.h.i.+ning Flame element has become Lv6 and Magic has increased by 20.]
[You have acquired a similarly leveled powerful subordinate. The High Rank Command skill has become Lv9 and all stats have increased by 5.]
After everything was over and Lee s.h.i.+n Woo had checked his messages, he took a look at Seira and smiled bitterly. A banshee, huh. That was truly...
”A Banshee... It really does fit you.”
”Aaaaaah! Aaaaaah!”
Seira had finally become a new ent.i.ty, but it seemed as though she couldn't accept reality, as she continued screaming. As she cried, her eyes and her hair had, at some point, burned and turned into a dark gray, like used-up charcoal.
”I guess this is where you cry for a while. I understand. But you'll get in my way, so let's talk later.”
”I don't understand...! I don't understand anything. Why! You!”
”Yeah, yeah. You're going through p.u.b.erty. I understand.”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo thought of her as a young girl going through p.u.b.erty! He waved his hand and the Heaven Door's Key activated and sucked her in. Where did she go? That was something only Lee s.h.i.+n Woo and Seira knew.
”Alright. Now that the urgent stuff has been taken care of...”
”s.h.i.+n Woo!”
'You're mine, level 8 Banshee!' he said, as if he were a Pokemon trainer, and then turned around. He saw Jin coming towards him. Fortunately, she was safe, but it seemed like she wouldn't be if things went on for just a little while longer.
”Come over here. At this rate, we'll all die!”
”...Alright. I got it. Sorry about that.”
”Just hurry up!”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo was, of course, not given any time to rest. He got atop Jin's back to fight against Seagald.
