Chapter 273
The strength of the materialization of a soul depended on the toughness of the soul, the amount of soul linking substance, as well as the extent of its spread.
Even a normal person, as long as the procedure was followed, they would be able to complete this process. For example, the process of death was exceptionally long.
As long as the constitution, soul, and environment met the corresponding requirements, then a certain method could be used to create a specific soul lifeform.
"The intense emotional impact combined with the long process of death would cause the soul linking substance of the deceased to spread, and if the environment and soul were suitable, the soul parasite could be completed, although this accidental compatibility would cause the resulting soul to be flawed" Oli explained: "The soul linking shackles are the connection between a person and a living being, as well as the world itself.
Olga explained: "The Soul Connection Chain is the connection between a person, life, and the world. This connection is not only manifested on an individual, but also on their achievements, reputation, and existence"
"Those who left their reputation in this world would naturally have their soul linking shackles sturdier, which is why their lives are always so tenacious" Oli's presence grew stronger and stronger, various colors began to appear around her: "Through a certain method, this Achievement can be converted and manifested, forming a covenant with the history of this world. This way, a soul lifeform would no longer be limited to a certain place or a certain city"
"Because of that, Lord Negri modified this method, calling it the Trial of Heroic Spirits"
Various colors began to flow around Oli's body, her soul was quickly solidifying, transforming into a soul lifeform. At the same time, the soul linking shackles began to spread towards an unknown location. Once the link was completed, unless the location was destroyed, she would never die.
"Oli …" the green flames in Chromie's eyes flickered, quickly determining Oli's current situation.
"Give your soul to me, Chromie" Oli sternly spoke, the stone giant below her pounded the ground with both fists.
Feeling the ground trembling, Chromie lightly leapt up, causing several stone pillars to erupt from beneath his feet. As he entered the angle of silence, he found himself surrounded by chunks of flesh that were rushing towards him.
"My apologies, Oli" Chromie once again leapt forward, charging towards Olga. A strong sense of danger had appeared in his heart, if he continued to let this happen, then his soul might very well be taken away by Olga, and that was something he could not accept.
If that's the case, I can only retaliate. A sense of guilt is a sense of guilt, Chromie wouldn't give up his life for the sake of guilt.
A large number of stone pillars surged forward, pressing down on Chromie. Chromie's figure flickered, moving between the stone pillars and the wall of flesh while swinging his sword.
"Do not disturb the lord." Luo, whose entire body was bursting with muscles, wielded the bone greatsword that his brother Luo had transformed into, stood on top of a stone pillar, and was propelled by the stone pillar towards Chromie.
"Get out of my way!" Chromie roared angrily as the surrounding stone pillars became tighter and tighter. Through some of the cracks in the stone pillars, he could see that Auri's condition was getting better and better. Most likely, she would be able to complete the materialization of her soul that she spoke of very soon. At that time, a powerful enemy that he could never kill would want to steal his soul. Just the thought of it was terrifying.
Chromie's body flashed, passing through Luo's body without any obstruction. Luo's expression froze as he clutched at his chest. A small blade suddenly appeared where his heart was, directly piercing it with thousands of holes.
While traveling through different angles, it could materialize specific objects and directly place them inside the enemy's body to attack the weak internal organs.
The sword in Chromie's hand sliced through the flesh wall and returned to reality. Auri was standing not too far away, blue flowers sprouting out of thin air. This seemed to be an ability that she had manifested based on her achievements.
"I'm sorry, Auri" Chromie didn't have any other choice, so he charged right in front of Auri and stabbed at her with his sword. The flames in his eyes danced, easily discovering Auri's current weakness.
She was currently connecting her soul chains to some unknown place, once this connection was broken, her life would be cut short, and she would once again enter the cycle of death.
While Chromie was still on guard against Auri's means, his sword unexpectedly hit its mark.
Impeccably accurate, the red Fearless Spirit wrapped around the blade directly pierced through Auri's soul chains, interrupting her Heroic Spirit Trial.
The blue flowers that were growing out of the flowers were instantly destroyed, countless blue petals scattered everywhere. The stone pillar not too far away also slowly collapsed, the souls inside without Auri's control began to die at the same time.
Fye and Luo were relatively better off, but Auri's death greatly affected them as well. Aside from them, there were also a few people in the city who had been reincarnated through Auri's hands, their ability to control their bodies had greatly decreased.
Looking at Auri who was turning into motes of light, Chromie was stunned: "Why? I'm just a person who's abandoned love, I'm definitely not worth you doing this for, why?"
"As expected, you don't understand" Auri's gaze hadn't changed at all, it was still the same gaze that could melt a person's heart. She reached out her hands and lightly hugged him: "Something like love, even if your heart doesn't beat for me, my heart will still beat for you"
"I, ah, can only take my revenge like this. Don't forget me, Chromie" Auri's figure became increasingly faint, the motes of light mixed with the blue flower petals in the sky as they floated far away.
These blue flowers were the power of her Merits. Her 'Merits', or rather, the most praiseworthy thing in her life, was meeting Chromie in that place filled with blue flowers, or at least that was what she thought.
The sword in Chromie's hand fell to the ground, wanting to hug Auri, only to find that his hands had already passed through her. He felt a sense of loss, his heart suddenly felt suffocated. Various emotions surged within him, including guilt and gratitude, but there were also some emotions that he couldn't recognize anymore.
Auri's goal had never been Chromie's soul, or rather, when she discovered that Chromie's heart no longer beat for her, she had already thought of this day, she no longer had the courage to continue living.
It was foolish, foolish, and unworthy, but this was Auri's choice. She lived for it, and died for it.
Looking at the blue flower petals that filled the sky, Chromie reached his hand out to catch one of them. With the flickering Mana Eye, he quickly analyzed the usage of this petal, its growth cycle, its environment, suitable temperature, as well as its medicinal value, but he didn't know its name. After all, the name of a flower was only given by humans.
Chromie held the petal in his hand, looking at this exceptionally beautiful scene, but he wasn't in the mood to appreciate it. He crouched down on the ground and began to cry, he knew that he had lost something very important, but he didn't know what it was.
