章 21: Dazzling Soul Balls and the Success of Absolute Contracts!
After Freya uttered her words, she closed her eyes, and her lips moved as if enunciating an incantation.
"Soul manifestation, activate!" She whispered softly and quietly.
*Whoosh!*
In an instant, a ball-shaped red light emerged from her smooth, white forehead, hovering in the center between her and Roel.
Observing this, Roel felt a twinge of surprise and observed the ball of red light with curiosity.
Given his limited knowledge of absolute contract magic, he found himself clueless about the nature of the red ball of light before him.
Freya gently opened her eyes and cast a tender gaze at Roel.
"Do you happen to know what this glowing red ball represents?" Freya's unexpected question startled Roel, who had been lost in a dreamy gaze fixed on the red ball of light hovering before him.
"No, I don't have a clue." Roel shook his head, admitting his lack of knowledge.
Upon hearing this, Freya smiled, her gaze tranquil as she observed the red-hued ball of light.
"This red, radiant ball is the manifestation of my soul," Freya replied casually, causing Roel to widen his eyes.
"The manifestation of the soul!?" Roel exclaimed in astonishment at her revelation.
The concept of the soul remained a profoundly mysterious and perplexing subject, even for Arcana-level mages.
The scarcity of magical knowledge about the soul renders research in this realm quite shallow.
Even within the Saint Heines Academy of Magic, a prestigious institution renowned for attracting genius mages and housing numerous eminent figures, the realm of soul research remained unsatisfactorily explored.
Therefore, he truly did not anticipate that one's soul could be tangibly manifested.
Observing Roel's astonishment, Freya felt an even greater sense of pride, and a subtle smile graced her alluring lips.
"Indeed, this is the manifestation of my soul. Absolute contract magic, as you should be aware, is the binding of two individual souls, creating a mental and physical connection between them," Freya explained with the poised demeanor of a teacher, elucidating the intricacies of absolute contract magic.
As Roel listened intently, his expression shifted with surprise, oscillating between furrowed brows, astonishment, and a myriad of other emotions, all prompted by Freya's detailed explanation of absolute contracts and her brief insights into the nature of souls.
'(Sure enough, the dragon race is truly extraordinary! Their knowledge surpasses that of the human race, not just in magic but in various aspects! As expected for a creature cherished by nature with such a long history!)' Roel couldn't help but marvel and commend within his heart.
The depth of knowledge within the dragon race was beyond imagination.
If he hadn't encountered Freya, he might never have realized the advanced proficiency of the dragon race in the use of soul magic.
Somehow, he started to sense that the current streak of unfortunate events and incidents he was going through might not be entirely negative and could potentially turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
Shortly after, Roel composed himself and regarded Freya with a curious gaze.
"If the absolute contract involves binding our souls, what comes next? Do I need to manifest my soul like you?" Roel inquired hesitantly and cautiously.
"Indeed, you must also manifest your soul," Freya affirmed with a nod.
Upon hearing this, the corner of Roel's mouth twitched, realizing he was currently unable to use magic.
Even if he could use magic as he did in his peak condition, he remained unfamiliar with the intricacies of casting soul magic in this manner.
Recognizing Roel's predicament, Freya chuckled softly and extended her palm, gently caressing his right cheek.
"Don't worry, Roel. I'm well aware of your current physical condition, and, of course, I'll be the one to assist you. Understand?" Her blood-red eyes held a profound tenderness as she spoke.
"Alright, thank you." Roel nodded, feeling a warmth on his cheeks that brought him great comfort.
Subsequently, Freya withdrew her palm and delicately touched Roel's forehead with her index finger, all the while reciting another incantation.
"Soul manifestation, activate!" She whispered once again.
*Whoosh!*
Shortly afterward, a ball of intense gold-colored light emerged from Roel's forehead, slowly floating before him, mirroring the earlier red-colored manifestation.
Observing this, Roel took a deep breath, his heart racing as he stared at the manifestation of his soul.
"This... is this my soul?" Roel gently touched the golden, radiant ball, feeling an unusually strong connection.
It was evident that this was a normal reaction, considering it was the manifestation of his soul, after all!
Freya slowly withdrew her hand, casting an admiring gaze upon Roel's golden, radiant soul ball.
"What a powerful soul," she praised inwardly, unable to resist stealing a glance at Roel, her hidden obsession subtly revealed in her expression.
Instantly, she quelled her obsession and regarded Roel with a composed expression, stating, "Alright, now it's down to the final step, where we will unite our two souls to ensure the success of the absolute contract."
Roel nodded enthusiastically, his gaze filled with happiness as he looked at Freya.
"Well, I'll leave it to you!" Roel replied with excitement, allowing Freya to take the final step.
Nodding slightly, Freya closed her eyes once more and guided her red-colored soul ball closer to Roel's golden-colored soul ball.
"Activate the absolute contract!" She declared as she opened her eyes, initiating the absolute contract magic.
*Whoosh!*
Abruptly, the red ball of light shone brightly as it approached Roel's golden-colored soul ball, as if eager to merge with it.
Sensing the approach of the red-colored soul orb, the golden-colored soul ball offered no resistance and allowed it to seamlessly fuse with it.
The light of the two merging souls intensified, illuminating the room.
Roel closed his eyes and shielded himself from the radiant glow with his hands.
"Damn! It's so dazzling!" Roel exclaimed in amazement, not anticipating that the merging of the two soul orbs would be so brilliantly intense.
Freya, on the other hand, merely narrowed her eyes, observing the process with a mysterious and profound smile.
"Finally~" She whispered to herself, biting her lower lip.
Her beautiful face displayed an unnatural change as she calmly observed the process.
After a while, the dazzling light from the two balls slowly subsided.
Roel, finally able to open his eyes, gazed at his golden-radiant soul ball and was instantly startled, almost jumping out of his place.
"This is... How is this possible?"
