Chapter 118: 116 Soul Splitting_l
Translator: 549690339
As the Soaring Dragon Legion continued to advance, they encountered several similar small outposts.
After obtaining accurate intelligence from the Hawkmen and the Lizardman Scouts, Gaz also used similar means to eliminate them.
However, as they continued to advance into the Northlands, they couldn’t find similar outposts.
Not only that, but they didn’t even run into a single creature from the Thunder Legion. They only found a few hasty dwellings and villages.
This made the army’s advance exceptionally fast, and Gaz reported this situation to Otto without delay.
In response, Otto concluded that the army should continue to advance, and they should notify him if any other abnormalities were discovered.
At this moment, he had other matters to deal with, as Moray had finally reappeared.
Previously, Otto had assigned a mission to Moray. After taking so long, it seemed he could finally present some results.
The sinister face on the Soul Eater Wand seemed exhausted, and behind him followed a trembling Kobold who looked terrified.
” so…”
Otto gazed at the seemingly ordinary Kobold and asked, “Is this your achievement?”
It seemed that the Kobold didn’t have anything special about him.
“My dear lord, do you know how much precious time I’ve wasted because of your request…”
As Moray spoke, his staff seemed to bend slightly, appearing truly exhausted.
But at the same time, he began to explain to Otto: “The Soul Splitting Skill isn’t something any random creature can learn. I’ve been pouring magical theories into more than a dozen Kobold Sorcerers every day.
Finally, only this Kobold has barely grasped a tiny bit of the skill.”
Otto didn’t care about how hard Moray had worked; he was only concerned about one thing.
“And the result?”
“The result is that this Kobold has successfully mastered the Soul Splitting
Skill, though it’s a castrated version…”
“Castrated version?”
Otto looked dissatisfied at Moray and said coldly, “So, you’re just trying to fool me with an unqualified product?”
“No, of course not!”
Moray replied helplessly, “What I meant is, this is already the limit for a Kobold. They can only master the skill to this extent.
If you want better results, you will have to provide me with more qualified students, such as the Corrupted Elves.”
Otto shook his head: “Sofia won’t agree to that…
At this time, Sofia and her Corrupted Elf maidservants happened to be away. It seemed the Half-Elf girl had some personal matters to take care of.
Moray grinned, “If I ask her, she definitely won’t agree, but what if it’s her beloved big stupid dragon?”
“Enough..
Otto said impatiently, “Forget the Corrupted Elves. They’re taking care of Sofia just fine for now. I will find you qualified students in the future.”
“With those foolish creatures from the Nolan Forest?”
Moray expressed doubt.
However, Otto laughed and said, “Once we deal with the troubles in the north, perhaps we can purchase some humanoid slaves from Black Gold City, such as Halflings or Dwarves.”
“Fine, alright..
Moray said indifferently, “After all, you’re the boss, and you set the requirements. As long as you don’t find it troublesome, I can wait.”
“But!”
Moray suddenly raised his voice and demanded, “Before that, you must let the honorable Princess Sofia continue to cooperate with my magical research!” “That can be arranged, but since you’ve brought this Kobold over…”
Otto looked at the terrified Kobold who couldn’t move and chuckled, “So, this so-called castrated version should have some uses, right?”
“Yes!”
The cheerful Moray, who could continue his magical research, quickly explained, “Even though he has only mastered a castrated version of the Soul Splitting Skill, this Kobold is an absolute genius among his kind.
Although he can only split one part of his soul from his body, he can control the size of the split portion.”
Otto narrowed his eyes. It sounded like this was worth an attempt for his idea.
So, when there was no one else nearby except Moray, Otto decisively swallowed the Kobold.
The poor creature was already scared out his mind and didn’t dare even think about resisting.
As with most monsters’ opinions of Kobolds, their meat was sour, smelly, and almost all bones.
In short, it tasted terrible…
However, Otto was more concerned about his idea than the taste.
Soon after, Otto received definite feedback from the Light Ball Boss, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He had obtained the Soul Splitting Skill from the Kobold, as well as a castrated version of it.
As Moray had described, he could split a part of his soul as he desired and even pour it into other containers.
As Moray had mentioned, the power of the splitted soul was proportional to the size of the portion split.
Moray, standing nearby, noticed the change in Otto’s expression. He floated in the air and said to Otto, “Do you need me to kindly remind you? Perhaps you’ve now acquired this ability, but its help in combat might not be that significant.
After all, as you split a part of your soul into another container, your own strength will decrease.
Well, maybe there won’t be much of an impact in close combat, like a
Barbarian…”
However, Otto laughed, “My usage of this power won’t be as crude as yours.”
“What?”
Moray felt insulted, but just as he was about to spit some venom, he saw a lump of wriggling flesh on Otto’s shoulder.
Soon, that lump of flesh quickly transformed into a dragon head identical to
Otto’s at the speed visible to the naked eye.
A familiar sight, but different from the previous situation right after swallowing the Rotten Blood Serpent Lizard.
This ferocious Dragon Beast slowly opened its eyes, but its gaze showed no sign of violence, and it was very rational.
Otto asked, “How does it feel?”
The newly grown head rotated its neck as if adjusting to something.
Soon, it answered, “The feeling is alright, just that the perspective has changed and it’s a bit hard to adapt.”
Moray was astonished by what was happening before his eyes.
As the inventor of the Soul Splitting Skill, even he hadn’t thought the skill could be used this way..
