"The first exercise we will do is the utilization of mana. But before that."
Azartooth extended his hand to Rigel. His hands glowed green and not long after Rigel's body was also illuminated by that light.
"What light is this? What did you just do to me?" Ask Rigel.
"I just purified the dark light you received from Pandora's box. Besides purifying that light,
I also increased your sense of taste by 3x more than usual. So, with your senses enhanced, the pain you receive will increase sharply.
Even if it was just a scuff wound, the pain would be like your finger being cut off."
This test is really hard. The pain that Rigel would receive even if it came from a small wound, the pain would increase drastically as if receiving that wound as much as 3x in a row.
In this exam, Rigel had to completely avoid himself in order to receive many injuries. Because, if he continued to receive mental pain and his soul might be affected.
If Rigel is mentally down and his soul is affected, the worst thing is that he goes crazy.
Perhaps this was Azartooth's intention, that he did not guarantee Rigel would remain himself.
Ahh, that's right too. As I took the last chance from the pandora's box, a black and evil light permeated my body.
What is that light really? Azartooth admitted that he had just purified her? Does light have a bad effect?
Think Rigel. The memories of when he was possessed by the dark light were still imprinted on his head. Rigel began to examine his body for anything to change other than his shattered eyes and left hand.
'Emm? There was nothing different from my body other than the fact that I no longer had my left hand and my left eye.'
After briefly examining his body, Rigel began to hold his shattered left eye from looking at the black hole on a piece of paper.
There's a lot of things Rigel doesn't know. There were even more things that had yet to be revealed, especially the last Fire Ball issued by that Dragon.
'Free to think about the unknown.'
Rigel looked back at Azartooth who was still smiling softly.
"I want to ask you a few questions. What light entered my body as I took out the 3rd contents of the pandora's box?"
Azartooth held his chin and closed his eyes as if he was thinking. Not long after, he opened his eyes.
"I'll explain it in a way that's easy to understand. The light that possessed you earlier was the light of the soul eater."
"The light of the soul-gobber?"
Rigel mutters. Azartooth nodded and continued his explanation.
"Yes. That light would possess someone to devour their soul from within and leave only his body alone.
Normally, that light was used to painfully kill someone, yet there were some cases of using that magic for soul transfer."
Rigel's face stiffened upon hearing about the transfer of souls.
That's a sign that someone wants to have my body, but who is he? Is there a special requirement for using that light?
Rigel kept thinking who might want to have his body, but never found an answer.
As if understanding what Rigel was thinking, Azartooth continued his explanation.
"There are two mandatory requirements that must be done to instill the light of soul devourer and body displacement.
The first condition is that you combine the target's blood with yours.
By combining blood it will allow you to move body after the target soul is wiped out.
And the second condition... You have to implant a magic circle as an intermediary to move the soul."
Azartooth looked at Rigel and pointed towards his shattered left eye. Rigel permeated by touching his left eye.
"I don't know who planted it, but I can clearly see a small magic formula etched into your eyes."
Rigel could not help but be surprised that he had been planted with a magic formula as a condition for soul transfer.
'When? Who did it? Don't don't?'
Rigel knew when the formula was implanted in his left eye. It happened just as Rigel took the second choice of pandora and lost his left eye.
"It seems that this formula was implanted when I took the second choice from Pandora's box, and I was told to look into the black hole on a small piece of paper.
And at that moment, I lost my left eye. Ji-if so, ca-the light!—"
Rigel frantically learns the conditions for soul displacement have been met. He looked at Azartooth who was right in front of him.
"Just calm. I've purified the light of the soul eater as well as the magic formula embedded behind your shattered eyelids.
The transfer of souls should no longer be possible."
Azartooth smiled gently which made Rigel calm down again. He continues-
Although there are some things Rigel still wants to know, he follows Azartooth and focuses on his 100-year training.
The mat!
Azartooth snapped his finger, the entire room began to change from a place filled with cliffs and grasses, into a place filled with brown rocks.
The place has large rocks with various sizes ranging from small to the largest.
There was nothing but rocks and red earth as long as the eyes looked as if Rigel was in a world of rocks.
Rigel was already not surprised to see this senseless occurrence because, the existence of the god himself was more unreasonable.
"Is this my first training?"
Rigel asked.
Azartooth nodded in response and he approached a large stone that was about 3 meters in size.
"The first thing you have to learn is this."
Azartooth placed his palm onto the boulder and closed his eyes. There was a temporary silence between Rigel and Azartooth. Lalu—
Bam!
An explosion resounded loudly and debris from the shattered rocks scattered.
What surprised Rigel was not the explosion, but the stone that exploded was the stone that Azartooth touched.
'How Can?' think Rigel.
"Surprising right?"
Azartooth smiled looking at Rigel's face filled with confusion and then he walked back closer to Rigel.
"The first thing you'll learn is which utilization. You must master the 5 techniques of mana utilization."
Azartooth raised all five of his fingers.
"The first is to absorb. You have to absorb the mana around you whether it comes from the atmosphere or other natural objects.
Because you're a slightly different hero, if it's not wrong you call it SP, right?"
Rigel saw an index that was still adjusting. Under the green blood bar, there is a yellow bar which is SP.
Rigel nodded in response. His eyes fell back on Azartooth. Azartooth nodded back.
"Because where yours is a little different that's where the 2nd technique is outlining.
You should be able to decipher it into a Soul Potion and everything else."
Rigel continued to quietly listen to Azartooth's explanation while understanding the information he received.
"For the 3rd, it's very easy. You have to get out where yours is. Well, I'm sure you can do it naturally."
"For the 4th and 5th it was like I did earlier, condensing and blasting.
To blow up rocks like that, though,
You have to absorb the mana from the stone and compact it slowly and then once it is solid enough, you have to blow it up.
It would be easier to understand it by practice than theory, we better just start from absorbing mana."
Azartooth directed Rigel to a rock about the size of Rigel and told him to meditate on it.
"Open the clothes you wear to make it easier for you to feel where around you while meditating."
Rigel obeyed Azartooth's words and removed the shattered shirt and chest shield he was still wearing.
While taking off her clothes, Rigel recalled that she had a wound on her chest and the moment Rigel saw her chest......
'The wounds... N-nothing?'
Rigel still clearly remembered the feeling as the king's sword pierced through his chest. However, the wound disappeared like it never existed.
Rigel glanced at Azartooth who was still watching him. Noticing Rigel's gaze, Azartooth waved his hand.
"For the wound that was on your chest, I have healed it but just forgive being decided with my weakened strength, she said,
I can't regenerate your left eye and left arm like before so you have to be steady with your right hand."
Ignoring Azartooth's bad joke, Rigel sat on the rock and meditated. He emptied his mind and calmed his heart.
Azartooth's eyes opened wide in shock and he smiled as he praised her in his mind.
'You learn fast... My son.'
