216 Red Fire Dragon Physique
—–
Within my Soul Scape, Ignatius was a bit angered, he really wanted me to give him the power of this Essence, but I don’t even know if it could work properly, after all this wasn’t part of him anymore and it was now my own “beast spirit essence” or whatever other name it had. And it was also for a ritual that Skin Changers did, if he got in the middle of it, I was sure he would screw things over and not make anything better at the end, and this is not what I want him to do! He had already ruined enough of my plans, so I don’t want him to get his nose into this ritual.
“T-That’s my power… Give it back!” Cried Ignatius.
“Stop already, you’re just annoying Sylphy!” Said Alice. “You’ve already gone through a metamorphosis into a Fire Spirit now, you can’t really retake that energy even if you wanted and Sylphy allowed you to.”
“T-That’s… there’s no way…” He said. freёweɓnovel.com
“Ignatius you’re already more than dead, you went ahead and challenged Sylphy’s parents and got killed because of that.” Said Furoh. “Stop thinking that you can somehow miraculously revive now, in fact you’ve somewhat revived as a Fire Spirit. You have willingly accepted helping her now, so don’t go back on your words…”
Ignatius felt the pressure of Alice and Furoh as the floating egg seemed a bit overwhelmed, but he sighed and seemed to have given up a bit more.
“Sigh… I was just excited to see such a large part of my powers…” He said. “I am honestly quite surprised that something like that was happening… I had thought that such a part of me was lost, but… I guess Sylphy had the essence of a dragon within her body after she ate me… Ugh.”
“Well yeah… It is one of the factors that has allowed her physique to grow this strong, it could be said she has a Red Fire Dragon Physique, in fact.” Said Alice. “I suppose that’s a good name for it… Although it is not yet fully developed, and it might change into something different in the future.”
…..
“Red Dragon Physique…” I thought to myself, as I looked back at the enormous dragon spirit.
Ninhursag smiled as she nodded. Although this spirit seemed to have “come out” it was merely an expression of what was within me, and it wouldn’t easily just get out of my body and weaken me, after all it was part of my own physique. I guess it could be said that it was the expression of it that could be unleashed through the usage of the Spells that Ninhursag was using. I have seen things similar with my father, Shade, and Nepheline when they fought. Their physiques are so strong that they exude a certain aura in the shape of something. I don’t know if that’s their spirits or something, but it is as if their very bodies have their own spirits and essence.
Is this the basic principle of it? It wouldn’t be so far-fetched, seeing how they can easily use Cooking Magic and eat any monster they have hunted after cooking it with this magic to gain their essence and perhaps grow stronger over time. Perhaps one of the strategies for when they were younger to grow stronger was by eating the meat of strong monsters cooked through Cooking Magic, and if my mother was like their teacher and guider in those times, she probably cooked all their meals to reinforce their strength even further. Wow, my mother had to babysit everyone if that’s the case.
“I think this is it…! Ah, the fiery presence it has is very strong…” She said.
“I-I don’t have any more spirits?” I asked. “No more essence?”
“I think you have… The thing is, all the other beings you’ve consumed left some essence on you but this one… This Red Dragon is the strongest, and it simply assimilated all the essences and continued growing bigger and stronger.” She said. “Also, I think I’ve awakened your Physique, the Physique of a Red Fire Dragon!”
“A physique!” I said in surprise.
It is just like Alice said I would! I really had the physique of a Red Fire Dragon at the end… Did I always had it since I was a child after I ate this dragon’s meat for weeks and weeks? My parents feed me this for literally months because there was so much, and with their magic it never rot, so we could eat it all year long. And because I ate it when I was a mere child, I really did receive an amazing boost to my total growth. Now it has been years since then I have already been enjoying the benefits of this physique quite a lot ever since then, but now it seems that it was finally awakening thanks to Ninhursag.
“Yes… This is enough for now; you’ve awakened the Beast Spirit necessary. I doubt you can get anything else than it though, the Fire Dragon is way too fierce and will eat anything else…” Sighed Ninhursag. She suddenly took away her hand from my head and the dragon immediately turned into red energy and flowed back to me, filling me with even more energy than I had before. It was so impactful it made me fall over the floor and sigh in relief.
BUMP!
“Uaggh… That was so tiring…” I sighed.
I realized that it was all thanks to Ninhursag at the end, without her hand atop my head, the Dragon Spirit thing wasn’t able to stay outside and would go back to my physique immediately after… This probably means that it can only get out of my physique through specific magical means that I need to first learn before I can fully use as if it were my own power. It is a bit of a bummer, but we are here for that very purpose, to learn from Ninhursag and try to learn a fraction of her powers. Ninhursag petted my head gently as she looked at Aquarina and Zack
“You two are next now…”
