[Day 66]
Today, as I trained Phantom Body, I managed to create a more visible tentacle using my soul.
I extended it into an Ice Fork and tried to lift it with it.
But… it went right through it.
Just as I thought, and I had experimented earlier, Phantom Body manifestations are not really physical, I can't touch any physical matter with them.
This a dilemma, I wanted extra limbs!
My ultimate goal was to get extra phantom limbs in the form of human hands to handle utensils, grab things swifter, and more.
But what can I do with it? I need to learn a way to make it physical…
As I ponder how to make it physical, I also begin to think about how to strengthen my soul and that of Benladann.
I had thought about one thing… What if I infuse mana directly into her soul through my Phantom Body? I have discovered that I can infuse it with mana and make something of a mana thread.
Maybe the secret of Soul Cultivation is putting one's soul into work by infusing Mana into it? Just like Mana Core Cultivation.
But would mana simply work? There is also the thing about damaging the soul and regenerating it, but I am afraid that her soul might not be similar to mine in means of regeneration, so perhaps she might need to develop way more Mana Pool first.
Another option is… by eating souls.
But how can I even eat a soul? I have no idea.
How can I find a soul? I can't see any floating around either, I cannot see them yet.
But I think I might be able to develop it thanks to the Supernatural Senses Ability on my Immortal Body Unique Skill.
There's a lot of things piled up to do, a big list.
So let's begin by training, I've been training physically with Benladann since this morning, she has become stronger and burlier now, and can take on my hits if I don't go serious. She was even able to block my weakest Spear Techniques, Spear Tail with her Ice Dragon Shield, the one I crafted for her using my scales, wrapped with super-hard ice threads, and also I added some more ice inside.
CLASH!
My spear-tipped tail clashes against the scale shield Benladann holds, as she infuses mana into it and does what I call "Shield Technique" where a Warrior infuses Mana into their shield to make it tougher and heavier.
Of course this only works with magic shields that can absorb and harbor mana, but of course, the one I've crafted obviously can do that without breaking a sweat!
"Ah!"
Benladann resists my powerful spear tail attack, as she steps back a little bit, glaring at me with resolve.
"That's a good look on your eyes! Now come!" I said as I provoked Benladann so she can get more of her rage out, something she needs to learn for whenever she will have to fight that thing again.
"HYA! Axe Slash!"
SLASH!
CLASH!
Benladann's axe clashes against my tail, the impact and piercing power is strong enough to actually bend the first layer of my scales, and even reach the second layer and partially bend the third and last layer of scales, impressive!
But…
"Not enough!"
CLASH!
I raise my tail and hit her axe again, throwing Benladann over the soft snow!
Poof!
"Ah…!"
"Are you okay?" I asked.
Benladann quickly stands up and cleans her clothes from the snow.
"Yeah, don't worry! Let's do it again!" said Benladann, her shiny yellow-gold eyes seemed enthusiastic to fight.
CLASH! SLASH!
Her axe hits my tail, and then she suddenly throws her shield at me Captain America style by putting mold on it and making it float and fly faster in midair!
CLASH!
The impact was strong enough and it made me flinch for a small second, enough for her to reach my back with her axe and jump with her great dexterity, clashing the axe into my neck from behind!
CLAAAASH!
The impact was so strong all three scale layers bend and the first scale is actually pierced!
However, that's all she can reach.
"Hah! Good one, but you got a long way to go!" I roar, as I raise my claws and hit her into the shield, she manages to defend well against my enormous attack and flies into the snow again. contemporary romance
Poof!
"Uagh…!"
I slowly walk towards her.
"We are done for today, let's move on to other more important things, I actually wanted to try something out with you," I said.
"Aw, no more fighting? And what?" asked Benladann.
"We can fight some more tomorrow. (I never expected she would end up liking fighting physically). For now, I want to see if it is possible to strengthen your soul, Ben," I said.
"Oh, so that's how it is… Alright then, I trust you, Drake," said Benladann, as she walked at my side, and we went back to the cave.
There, I finally began the experiment I wanted, to see if I could train her soul through my Phantom Body.
I extended a tendril of phantom and slowly put it inside of her body, inside of her back.
At first, she felt rather weirded out, but after a bit, that feeling went away.
"Is it working?" she asked while sitting cross-legged and meditating at my side.
"Hmm… Not exactly. It is not really working, damn it," I sighed.
"So you want to touch my soul with your soul… And like that be able to strengthen it?" asked Ben.
"Yeah, that's my plan, but I can't seem to find your soul…" I said.
"Maybe try to look now…" said Ben, as she unleashed her Mana Aura, the concentration of her mana inside her Mana Core, making it flow into her body continuously, and creating an aura of mana surging from her smooth blue skin.
Flash!
Suddenly, as she began to spend Mana in large quantities, I felt something!
There!
I quickly moved my Phantom Body towards this direction, and finally managed to touch her Soul with mine, at long last!
"Ah!" cried Benladann, perhaps it felt a bit weird.
"Sorry, did it startle you?" I asked.
"Ah… No, if it is you, I can trust you…" said Benladann.
