Chapter 44: Aspects Of Soul

Droste then began a long tangent about all of the revolutionary things that the kingdom could do with this RAR technology, especially when it comes to weaponry.

The only downside to this would be the fact that a nezura priest is required. And so far, there was only one nezura priest within the kingdom.

Droste already talked about this with Kurisunetamayo, however, alongside Nagan and the two leaders of their respective team.

To simplify the conclusion of that meeting, any nezura can become a priest with only two requirements. A special and arduous training to mold their soul into a super-vessel capable of great priestly feat, and a blessing from another priest.

So far, seven individuals from the nezuras had been reported to possess a potential to become a priest. It was only a matter of time until there would be more than priests within the Kingdom of Lunatic Kaleidoscope.

"I see, so you did in fact, hand over the mini figurine of the patriarch to the priest behind my supervision." Charles suddenly appeared behind Droste, gripping the weapon crafter's shoulder with enough strength to crack all of the bones. "You know, I have been eyeing that treasure on your desk for quite a while, and I have been wondering why it suddenly disappeared from there."

"C-Charles, you know that you can just ask me to make it, you k-know?" Droste said nervously, she could feel her fight or flight instinct making every inch of her body to feel goosebumps.

Charles was really mad that she wasn't the first one to have the mini-figurine. And just as when she collected enough bravery to ask for the figurine, the figurine disappeared from Droste's desk. Confused and distraught, she kept her own frustration to herself.

"Oh my, that's so kind of you to ask. Why of course, I want at least five of them, each with a different pose!"

"Ay ay, captain~" Droste replied with enthusiastic fear.

With how the usalians began to fully accept the nezuras integration to the kingdom, the two of them began to mingle more with one another in a social occasion, despite the difficulty of two way communication between the two of them.

"Forsooth does the vanther! As I dragged my polearm into the air before decimating their willpower to fight with a single powerful strike to my surroundings!" Karasaki then gestured her hand as if she was holding her past weapon. "Terrific their defense was, we managed to steer their attention away from the outpost with our hands and blood intact."

The nezuras flocking to listen Karasaki's frequent tell-a-tale was also rising in numbers. And not only Karasaki too, many other usalians who like to bicker and gossip their day away began to gain a curious attraction from the nezuras.

It seemed like the nezuras really liked to entertain themselves through stories and circulating information. They were also quite eager to learn many things about the usalian or human method and technology.

It was to the point that Kurisunetamayo even voiced this particular social factor. Two days ago, Nagan and Owen began implementing a teaching program for the nezuras to learn human language, read the alphabets, and to a great extent, how to speak.

Their priest helped greatly in enforcing this educational progress, as she became the pillar of communication where the nezura can ask for help directly to the priest regarding everything related to the words and tongue of the kingdom, which the priest can then ask Nagan about the problem, giving a new teaching material to share amongst the nezuras, which explore the knowledge of language even further, creating a positive feedback loop.

And it was all happening telepathically, all the time, from all sorts of locations. Kurisunetamyo was an expert when it comes to circulating and regulating multiple communication at the same time, but it was definitely not a brand new experience for Nagan, as he had his fair share of multi-tasking conversation with his soul links amongst the usalians.

On another hand, Nagan had already developed his white noise translator to activate automatically when any nezuras attempted to communicate with him. This means that the nezuras can directly talk to the Patriarch from afar without needing to establish a soul link with them.

"The soul stretches, forming many limbs, many tendrils. But the spreading tendril is thin, weak." Kurisunetamayo placed her open hand forward. There was actually no great reason why she was doing this except that she likes the feeling of air touching her hand. "Numerous can be binded, forming a single, powerful extension of the soul."

As of now, right in front of many nezuras, Nagan could be seen practicing no how to perform all of the telekinetic feats that the nezuras showcased within the time they became the kingdom's residents.

Only after a deeper understanding of their power, Nagan was able to identify the nature of the nezura's soul manipulation power.

Because it was in fact, not a true act of telekinesis. When categorized under a name, the psycasting power that humanity utilized to fend off the apocalypse was indeed a form of pure psionic interaction. What needed to perform a psycast was a vessel, and a sentient mind.

But the requirement for the nezura's magic doesn't include a vessel. They only need a soul to perform it, and while their concept of soul is metaphysical, it's more grounded than the basis of foundation used to perform psycasting.

"Does the shape of the soul affect the capability to extend itself?" Nagan asked as he tried to levitate the pile of log in front of him using the sheer power of his soul.

"To an extent." Kurisunetamayo nodded aggressively.

The haven of the soul, the location where a soul of something resided, is directly overlapping the location of its connected object within a unique dimension. In this dimension, every soul has their own domain, but they can interact with another soul's domain when a connection is formed.

And to a great extent, the soul of everything affects the shape of the existent that it represents in the physical world. So by tinkering the soul within this dimension, the existence that it represents also changes accordingly. The vice versa is also true.

That's how the nezuras are able to manipulate material and mother nature.

"I think I get it now."
