The Soul Cultivator

Tale 68

"Dark Craft, a very mysterious forbidden Magic that has an unknown source"

Rox's

"JinLe will remain here in LinUa until he fully recovers, thanks to Man we managed to save him from the brink of death!" Lord Axcel

"Where's Zero?" LinSe

"He's on our room, please let him rest." Lord Axcel

"Poor Zero, he had to fight his own fa- ahem. Anyway, I received a report from my husband saying he'll return with ShouLe to sort the misunderstanding..." LinSe

They're a few meters away from the Chamber I'm sleeping in yet I can hear their conversation.

"Is it true?" Claw

"Yes!"  Fang

"Rox is no longer Maester's Disciple, after he absorbed that Spirit they call The Undead, Rox's body changed into it and broke the Link!" Head

"Tama ba ang hinala natin?"  Wing

"Dark Magic, the only explanation we can think of. There's no stronger Magic to severe a Ritual between Lord and Disciple, this is governed by the Divine Gods, a Dark Magic is the only other way Rox could destroy that Link!" Head

"But- but he can't possibly do that, alam kong gusto niya ang Lord-" WIng

"Whether he liked Maester or not, we know how impulsive he could be. If we only know how to deal with a Spirit he wouldn't have to sacrifice himself and chose a very difficult way subduing those Spirits!" Fang

"I can't believe I'm siding with Fang, but yes. If only we had any knowledge about fighting a Spirit, we wouldn't have to rely on that Jin kid and Rox to fight The Undead. The only thing we did back there was be beaten up by a crazy Spirit!" Claw

"Sana okay lang si Rox!" Wing

"Lord Axcel assured us that he wasn't influenced by the Spirit he absorbed. Our Nature is very Pure especially Master's, and with Madame ZenSe as his tutor, I know he successfully turned those Spirits into Orbs!" Can

"Zen Can?! Kelan ka pa diyan?" WIng

"Enough to hear the last conversation you had." Can

"How's the other TriZen? I know they exhaust themselves because of us!" Claw

"They're fine, supporting allies is what we do so do not worry about them!" Can

"Th- thanks!" Wing

"And as for Master, please just trust us, I know what he did isn't something from Dark Craft, rest assured!" Can

I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling, I rolled out of the bed and stared at the mirror besides the window.

"But I used Dark Craft!" I whispered while looking at the Spirits flying around behind my reflection.

And when i turned around, you couldn't see anything flying behind me.

"I'm sorry mother but I have to!" I turned into the mirror and watch the Spirits fly around.

"You're awake!" I heard Lord Axcel behind me.

"Did you saw her?" I turned to him.

"N- not yet, I couldn't sense her ever since we left JinSan." Axcel

He stared at me as if he never saw me for a long time.

"Y- you looked different." Axcel

"Well, this is what I really looked like! Now I just have to figure out how to publicly announce my return without igniting another war!" Saad ko habang inaalala ang mga narinig ko kanina.
