I felt a strange feeling while holding the Soul Orb. It was cold or warm. The inconsistent taste continued to attack my body, radiating from the hands and like penetrating the skin to the rest of the body.
[«Soul Orb» (Legendary)
formed from a collection of soul power solidified to the extreme for thousands of years, this item can only be found in Helheim of Soul Eater as an exclusive item that is extremely rare]
very short and simple description.at first no one even knew the benefits of Soul Orb and just made it as a decoration or treated as a trash item. but one day there was a player who accidentally increased his soul power and became a Soul Master in a short time using a Soul Orb. since then the Soul Orb has become the most sought after item by mental-type players.
I infused dense mental strength into the Soul Orb and pierced through layer by layer. The originally dense Soul Orb began to surge like a ball of water floating in the air.I tried to transform it into a liquid form in order to be utilized.This was very tiring, very tiring, it took almost half of all the mental energy I had just to turn it into a liquid.
this small room was immediately filled with a pearly-like sparkling white liquid that kept surging.The liquid drowned me like a deep ocean.The depressed and weak feeling instantly made my body weak.
ugh.. it hurts, it hurts. The liquid penetrates every pore in my body and tries to get into the body. I felt that I was pierced by thousands of needles slowly and continuously without stopping.every cell and blood vessel as in translucent and destroyed by countless needles.
my mind began to blur like fog and consciousness began to disappear like in the swallow of the ocean.
the scene I saw in front of me turned into a vast ocean with a lotus flower with three colors floating alone. the color of the golden petals with red and blue accents was strange but beautiful and harmonious.The lonely beauty floated on top of the peaceful ocean. this ocean has absolutely no waves or ripples of water. it is like a flat mirror reflecting the blue sky and white clouds above it. When I step on the surface of the water, I will see the water, that was when new water ripples spread from my feet.
I stepped slowly towards the sturdy lotus in the middle of this ocean.As I approached, the lotus emitted three beautiful colors like stars.The water was originally calm like a mirror, like a mirror, now began to appear white fog and enveloped the lotus.like getting nutrients, the light on the lotus became increasingly bright.the light of three colors is very clear in the middle of the thick fog.
I continued walking towards the lotus and touched it. Instantly, the water began to surge strongly and became a high wave like a real ocean. I stepped up and walked into the center of the lotus that was large enough to hold one person without any problems.
each of those three-colored petals began to close and bud, protecting me from the fierce waves in the spiritual sea.after finally the entire petal was covered, it was, the light was eventually replaced by darkness because the lotus flower petals blocked the light from outside.
as calm and comfortable as returning to my mother's arms, that's how I felt in this lotus.The darkness did not last long, that was, soon the scene I saw turned into a beautiful star-filled sky with galaxy clusters of various shapes and colors.The beautiful scenery was indeed, even I didn't want to leave here.
but despite being so comfortable, I couldn't relax in the slightest. I could feel the state of the mental ocean beyond «Soul Core Lotus» which was experiencing storms and chaos. the originally clear sky was now covered by a black cloud filled with fierce golden lightning like a raging dragon.
the sea surged and made the lotus oscillate like Noah's own ark and lonely in the midst of fierce storms and rain.The occasional big waves hit and tried to destroy the lotus like a cliff on the edge of the ocean. in addition to the fierce waves that struck, the golden and silver lightning occasionally struck like an angry python.the continuous thump and lightning bolts added to the atmosphere of chaos in the mental ocean. the comfortable feeling instantly turned into excruciating pain.
this is different from physical pain due to injury, this pain is more like tearing and tearing someone's soul.the pain continues to hit and on like endless.I have to maintain my consciousness, I have to maintain my consciousness, if until I lose consciousness even if it is only temporary, maybe this lotus will be torn apart by waves and lightning.
.....
no matter how long I was in this place. Due to the constant pain, my awareness of the sense of time was completely absent.I only had the awareness to endure this tearing pain. the lotus petals began to rip apart and fall out carried away by a terrifying storm.Every time the petals were torn apart or fell, I felt like half of my soul was disappearing.
I never thought that the pain that was inflicted would far surpass that in Alterion many times over. No, I must not give up on this pain. I don't want to lose my second chance at life, at least not for now.I keep convincing myself to endure this pain even if I have to tighten and crush all my teeth and jaw.
my sense of time is completely chaotic.I don't even have any thoughts other than to maintain consciousness and endure pain.
after the continuous destruction in the sea of souls, the lotus began to slowly disintegrate.Even the petals covering my soul body were shattered and lightning struck my soul core directly which had already lost the protection of the lotus flower. the more I held back, the more pain I felt.
an unknown amount of time passed.the storm and the pain began to fade.I was even amazed by myself being able to endure such pain to the end. my consciousness was thinning and I could no longer maintain it and ended up falling into a deep sleep...
.....
(sight of Arkne)
it's been a month after His Majesty did a closed retreat.I don't know what happened, but for a month it was no activity from inside the room.if it was said Worry, Worry, of course I was very worried. back then I could only obey His Majesty's order to go and arrange everything. To be honest rather than dealing with that loathsome and weak creature, it was, I prefer to protect His Majesty and guard during the absorption of that Soul Orb.
during this one month, those weak beings had already left the Moon Palace to carry out the duties of His Majesty. I just need to give instructions to them through a bodyguard I've been assigned to always be with them and watch over the actions of those insects if they dare to mess up the perfect plan of His Majesty, I will execute them cruelly.
"sister...!"
Upirina:"Have His Majesty stepped out of his retreat?"
Arkne: "yet. I'm also very worried".
I could only answer and shake my head to Upirina who was worried about His Majesty's circumstances.
"you need not worry, now Your Majesty is in deep sleep and soul restoration".
a soft voice like wind chimes sounded in my ears.
Arkne:"is that right, sister!?"
"that's right.you just need to wait for His Majesty to come to his senses and continue to carry out the plan that His Majesty has decided.If until you mess it up, you will know the consequences "
even though I have done many fights and passed through countless lives and deaths, I unconsciously still trembled upon hearing the words of Sister Selene.
"k, we will never disappoint His Majesty's expectations"
me and Upirina answered simultaneously without delay.
"i hope so"
the voice disappeared immediately after saying that.really, talking to sister Selene was like cutting off your own life.
Upirina: "it seems like we can only wait"
Arkne:"that's right, after all, if sister Selene says so, it can only be like that"
it's a pity that we don't have access to the room, only Sister Selene has surveillance access to all parts and corners of the Moon Palace without exception.
.....
we waited for a few more days and on the forty day, a surge of powerful mental energy surged across the palace and exerted a strong pressure like a storm.
me and Upirina immediately drowned in this mental wave like a sudden gust of cold wind.although this was a strong mental wave, this mental wave was gentle and comfortable without the slightest feeling of danger.
Arkne:"this must be Your Majesty"
Upirina:"not wrong anymore"
we immediately looked towards the empty throne.in the next second, the empty throne seat appeared the figure of His Majesty with an extremely powerful aura, we immediately knelt down and saluted His Majesty.not only me and Upirina, a woman covered by light to the point that her true figure had also appeared. his body seemed to be formed from a holy white light, but because it was dazzling, it would be impossible to see his figure enveloped by that light.
"congratulations on your success, Your Majesty"
