Chapter 417 - Spirit Mantra
_Isabelle’s voice._
It was a gentle whispering as if she were speaking right beside Angor’s ears.
But when Angor listened carefully, he realized he could understand none of it.
He did notice, however, that upon hearing each of Isabelle’s words, he would feel a little tickle crawling from his head to his toe like someone had been stroking him with a soft feather.
It was like… the strange language was meant for communicating with his soul.
There were a total of 33 notes in Isabelle’s chant. She repeated twice and finally stopped.
Angor tried to figure out what all these meant. Did it have something to do with the darkness?
He kept walking and never found any light. He wasn’t even sure if he should move at all.
“Due to an agreement with ‘Kirigakure’, I cannot tell anyone about the algorithm, so I only told you the result.”
Angor nodded. The process was way more valuable than the result in this case.
He did want to learn it, but he wouldn’t press for it either. It was just like the sequence of gravity—he could wield such power without knowing anything about the essentials.
Speaking of the sequence of gravity… Ever since he wandered away from his body as a soul, he could easily sense where the gravity power laid inside him. Angor knew he could trigger the power if he wanted, but he dared not.
According to Ness, using the sequence of gravity required lots of soul energy. Using it by force might exhaust his soul.
He believed that once he could freely unleash the power, he would definitely gain several levels in strength.
Isabelle interrupted his thoughts when she said, “Once you get familiarized with Spirit Mantra, you can use it almost instantly, without consuming mana or constructing spell models. Consider it a spell slot that does not occupy anything in your mind space. So, are you satisfied with this destiny?”
Angor nodded.
As of now, this skill wasn’t really useful for him, but it was better than nothing. Something as fast as a “Quickened Spell” could always come in handy in the future. And it was free!
Again, his thoughts were easily perceived by Isabelle.
“You believe Spirit Mantra has no use?”
“Er…” Angor tried to think of an excuse. However, before he could, Isabelle lifted a finger and unleashed a light beam into his soul.
The beam wandered around inside him until it rested around the source of the power of gravity.
After being “purified” by the treasure in Soul Genesis Garden, the gray aura inside Angor’s soul now gathered in one spot. Now, Isabelle’s light further compressed the power into a tiny marble which quietly floated in place.
“You received your sequence of gravity by abnormal means, so you can only unleash that power by consuming soul energy. It’s both a good and a bad thing for you. You will understand why in the future.
“What I just did was to fortify your power source. From now on, when you activate that power again, it will not come out uncontrollably and wear down your soul. You can decide how much power you use, as long as it does not exceed your energy reserve. Doing so will not do harm to you.”
Isabelle took out a parchment from her space storage. “This is a scroll that teaches you how to perform soul training. Study carefully and you will be able to slowly recover spent soul energy.”
Isabelle didn’t tell Angor about how the strange soul scar could also slowly replenish soul energy for him; it was just a lot slower than proper soul training.
Angor accepted the parchment and tried to trigger his gravity power just a little bit.
Just as Isabelle said, only a small part of the power went outside this time. It was like he now held a valve that helped him to determine the power flow.
And Angor was extremely excited at this. The ability to use gravity power freely combined with Spirit Mantra might prove extremely powerful in the right situations.
