Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 93: Soul Contracting

the connection between soul and body became increasingly clear and powerful. Immediately after, I felt like I was breaking through a wall and my consciousness blurred for a while. this feeling is similar to what happened when I first logged into the game Alterion.

when I opened my eyes again, I saw a familiar room.it was just that this room was filled with grudges and hate that was very dense.if people with weak mental abilities, and, that person could go crazy just by staying in this room for a while. on the bed, I saw the body of a little girl with pitch-black hair that was thicker than night. this is my body, currently this body is giving off a black aura which is a mental attack.

so this is why I can't go back directly into the body, but I teleported and floated in this room in the form of a ghost-like soul. it was because Philia's body had been filled with a vengeful spirit that had high negative energy.I now understand why I was thrown into Helheim without cause. actually the reason why I was thrown there might have to do with the vengeful spirit residing in this girl's body.a body would not be able to accept two souls, especially if that soul was a vengeful soul. that's why my soul was thrown into Helheim.

if I want to take back this body, I need to do sanctification to this vengeful soul. I condensed the mental strength coated by the holy light and formed it into a large hand hanging in the air.The large hand grabbed and pierced through Philia's body a moment later, and then, it was still there, the hand was pulled back and carried an illusory figure surrounded by a black and purple aura.The appearance of the illusory figure clearly depicted the figure of Filia.

it seems like this vengeful soul was formed by the soul of the once disgruntled Philia and still holds a grudge before her death.maybe she has not been able to accept the reason for her death and seeks revenge. perhaps all this time he had been waiting deep within the sea of consciousness for a chance to take revenge on his killer.

Phile:"don't rebel!"

"what, what are you doing?. Get off me!"

the sound that came out of the vindictive soul was like an overlapping hoarse voice, filled with an aura of resentment and hatred.

Philia:"I will not release you. Now you are the remnant of a dead soul, why does the dictionary want this body?"

"this is my body. I must kill whoever has done this to me!!"

his voice roared hysterically and frighteningly.if anyone was afraid of ghosts, perhaps that person would faint upon hearing his roar. This vengeful soul seemed to be quite difficult to purify.in Alterion, it was, The mission to purify the soul has two ways, namely by calming the vengeful soul and freeing it from negative aura, or directly using holy magic and annihilating it altogether, I do not want to do a second way for this Philia soul, however, now the body I use is hers, so as much as possible I want to make it go away quietly.

Philia:"even if you take revenge, your soul will not return.The murder will instead add to the negative energy and make you more tormented by hatred. it could be that you become a Demonic Soul and commit more crimes.I will absolutely not let you do the deed"

"but this grudge, how should I bear it?, those who have done this, they should die in the most cruel way"

that vengeful aura instantly burst out from his body like a flood that instantly made the negative energy in the entire room become denser. That vengeful energy formed many sharp thorns that instantly pointed at me, which was, but before those sharp thorns touched me, all around me had appeared a transparent golden Barrier that isolated my body from mental attacks.

krak...!!

the spines immediately broke without leaving any scratch marks after touching the mental protective flavoring I made.

"how, how could a wandering soul like you withstand such an attack.?.?. and again, how could your soul be this girl's soul?"

the voice roared, but it changed from the overlapping voice of Filia. Now it sounded more like the voice of an old man shouting.

Philia:"oh.it seems that this soul did not turn into a vengeful soul by itself.I did not think that there would be such a back hand.now say, I do, who gave the order to the contracted soul to make the soul of Philia unable to obtain tranquility?"

my anger had already started to peak and could really make my blood boil.This soul was usually a soul that had been contracted by a Necromancer. Necromancers could use this soul to bestow curses on those who were already dead.a very cruel curse, a curse that would not even release its victims after death.if inside Alterion, the, a contracted soul like this would give the effect of weakness to the player after being raised from the dead, but in this world this kind of curse would torture the soul of his victim even after his death.

"you don't need to know, and you won't be able to force me. If you hurt me, then this girl's soul will also be hurt".

although Filia was a remnant of a soul, but I did not want to hurt her, but using that means to threaten me, it seemed like this contracted soul was too naive.

Filia:"too naive. «Soul Separator»"

the second illusory hand begins to form from the void, but this second hand is different from the first if the first is only a transparent hand with a golden light surrounding it, now this hand was in transparent gold with various foreign red writing characters engraved on it.

the second hand grabbed the nape of the Philia soul (the vengeful soul) and pulled it slowly.

"gyaaa.....!!!"

cries of pain rang out from the black soul that was slowly drawn from the soul of Philia, from the head to the entire body of the contracted soul, pulled and separated from the soul of Philia. the contracted soul figure thrashed in the air due to the pain inflicted by the forcible separation.The soul body was black, black in color, he was held by his second hand and squeezed in the air.

Philia:"now say, or I will destroy you"

"you are unworthy.you will be frightened if you hear the name of my master!"

"crack.....!!!

"gyaaaa".....!!"

I controlled that illusory hand to tighten its grip on the contracted soul.The result was a ghost-like scream filled with pain.

"a, I'll talk..."

his voice panted after enduring the pain of almost being crushed by the second hand.

Filia:"talk"

"who told me to be a master of the temple of darkness.I was ordered to render this girl useless, then torture her soul as a sacrifice of dark ritual, suddenly there was a wandering soul entering her body.a much stronger soul, so I could not bring this girl's soul out and become an offering. hence, it was, I turned this girl's soul into a vindictive soul and banished the existence of that second soul"

Filia:"so it was just that 'Filia' could not use magic and had a weak body despite training.it was all your deeds.then, what harmed 'Filia' is it you too?"

"i, it's actually still related. actually..."

the contracted soul told him everything he knew about the events that befell the old Philia.

Philia:"hahahaha".

I was really angry. so angry.the guys sacrificed and tortured the little girl for their selfish purposes.I, I will make you all pay for it...

Filia:"I don't care about your master's purpose or whatever reason it is. I will still make your master and everyone behind the scenes pay everything with a thousand times the interest. they'll be desperate to find a way to die and escape my revenge.I'll make sure of that"

I approached the soul that was being held by that illusory hand and tapped on the forehead of the contracted soul that looked like an all-black old man.as my finger tapped on his forehead, slowly, a skull emblem with one eye appeared on the old ghost's forehead.I inserted a small portion of the soul force into the contract emblem and counterattacked the contractor through the connection with the contracted soul.

«Curse Magic:Torture of the Seven Reincarnations»

after doing that, I slightly took some distance with that contracted soul, then...

"t, wait.what are you doing...!!!???"

the soul roared back.the golden hand that held it now gradually turned black with red spell lines covering its surface.The red writings shone with a red light, red, and the hand tightened its grip.

"gyaaa.....!!!!"

a heart-wrenching shriek of sadness, despair, regret, and pain that mixes into one. Anyone who listens will be able to feel that complex feeling and realize it all.

Filia: "you also have to pay for everything"

krak....!!!

the contracted soul was shattered and became a black fog that was absorbed by that illusory hand.white mist entered my soul from that hand and gave off a feeling of comfort and coolness. it is a soul recycling.a dirty soul will be purified by this technique, once purified, that soul power will be given to the caster and become his own.

Filia:"though weak, at least this can help replace the energy I have put out for you".

I spoke to the contracted soul that had disappeared into soul energy as a supplement of my own soul.I turned my gaze to the original 'Philia' soul. now the soul was covered by a pure white light and smiled at me.

"thank you. Thank you for helping me, whoever you are, please, take care of them. father, mother..."

perhaps already feeling calm after seeing the ringleader perish, the soul slowly became more illusory and disappeared after leaving those words.

Filia: "don't worry.I will definitely protect everything.I hope you can calm down there"

"thank you...."

after saying that a soft voice that seemed to echo from that distance, his voice disappeared completely.I smiled and turned my attention to the body of the girl lying unconscious on the bed. I floated closer and rubbed his cheek while sticking my forehead against his forehead.Slowly, a strange feeling invaded my body and my soul re-experienced a temporary dizzy sensation.

slowly, I opened my slightly blurred eyes and looked around the room.just a silence with no one in it....
