Chapter 268 A Weak Soul That Came to Be

The base of a human Wizard was the power of the will. An elf Druid’s base was their soul’s ability to be absorbed by nature. These were completely different occupations, and they could not coexist within the same being. By this point, Grand Duke Edwina began to doubt if Abel was actually an elf. Maybe everything he said was a lie.
Although Abel might lie to Grand Duke Edwina, she knew well that her little daughter Lorraine wouldn’t. There could only be one explanation for this: Abel was a monster. Yes, a monster. That was what Grand Duke Edwina had labeled this destructive guy in front of her.
A Druid’s monster portal bag was strange dimension merchandise. It couldn’t store any personal belongings, but one could shove their contracted creatures within. Not every single Druid had a monster portal bag since they were very hard to get. Merlin’s monster portal bag was given to him for his service within the Grand Ducal Palace. On top of that, he needed to supply an intermediate mana gem every 5 days in order to keep this bag. Not all normal Druids could withstand this sacrifice.
By this point, Abel could no longer see what was happening in the real world. His thoughts had entered the weak little soul. Everything had turned green, as though he had been altered after swallowing a power of the will. However, Abel didn’t know the purpose of this alteration.
Every single bit of Merlin’s power of the will was swallowed, even the soul beast contract he spent countless years on. Now, Abel realized a set of strange symbols appear within his weak little soul. Slowly, he reached his power of the will towards them.
5 souls responded to him. The contract was signed to 5 ravens. At this point, Merlin’s monster portal bag opened, and the 5 ravens flew out beside him, causing shock among the elves.
Abel had successfully summoned the 5 ravens from Merlin’s monster portal bag without being aware of it, and a strange raven symbol appeared on the skill tree within his Horadric cube.
Abel began to examine the second set of symbols, and the soul of a vine responded. This soul of a vine was battle thirsty. They immediately became excited after they heard the summon.
Merlin’s monster portal bag opened once again, and a poison creeper swam out. After seeing the poison creeper, the elves immediately backed off. This vicious vine could send out immense poison from their attacks, and the cure was often very hard to find. Normally a Druid would find a way to alter and intensify the poison within their own poison creeper.
Therefore, the poison every poison creeper gave out was different. There were only 2 cures. One was using poison antidote potion, and the other was the poison creeper retrieving their poison. Depending on the quality of the poison antidote potion, their effect would be different. So most of the time, it just assisted the body to slowly excrete the poison through rest.
That’s why the elves began to freak out when they saw the poison creeper and tried to find a place to hide.
The poison creeper swam beside Abel’s feet. It seemed like it liked Abel’s smell a lot as it brushed its scary flowers against him.
The skill tree in Abel’s Horadric cube had gained a new spell again, as a vine’s symbol appeared.
Merlin’s Druid friend wanted to step up and close his monster portal bag, but the moment he reached his hand in, a scary sense engulfed his body. In a sudden, all of his strength and power vanished. He immediately understood this was Grand Duke Edwina’s warning. He should not mess with this elf frightening contract transfer.
Abel reached his power if the will towards the 3rd set of symbols, and he was connected to a strange soul. This strange soul was very powerful, and it seemed like it was very difficult to communicate with it. Luckily Abel’s power of will was extremely powerful, and the green souls around the weak little soul continued to hold down this weird soul. By this point, the weak little soul automatically injected some green power of the will into Abel’s power of the will. The 2 power combined, making the communication smooth again.
All the Druids in the scene were at least level 6, and all of them could tell Abel was only level 3. Although they could not accept the fact that 2 types of low ranking creature had just been summoned, they could guess what had happened. Merlin had used his power of the will to attack this level 3 Alchemist Bennett, but alchemist Bennett somehow swallowed the soul within Merlin’s power of the will and brutally extracted his contract.
None of the Druids could believe Alchemist Bennet could summon and take away the low ranking creature within Marlin’s contract. All the Druids were speechless; dead air filled the hall. Even Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Albert could not take their eyes off what was happening below.
However, Grand Duke Edwina gave out a little flick with her hand. A green wall of light appeared in the middle of the hall, separating all the normal nobles from the Druids.
As the nobles were blocked by the wall of light and the buzz began to build, the voice of Grand Duke Edwina began to fill the hall “What comes after was the Grand Ducal palace’s secret. Please excuse us!”
A strange creature emerged from the monster portal bag. Every Druid in the scene knew it was a spirit. It was called the Oak Sage. The peculiar creature could increase the life force of its owner.
“Impossible.” The Druids began to doubt their eyes. This had exceeded everything they had ever known. A level 3 alchemist, which they thought was a level 3 Druid could control a level 6 spirit.
By this point, Grand Duke Edwina no longer knew how to describe her daughter’s little boyfriend. She was so puzzled that her head began to hurt. It was a good thing she had separated the ordinary nobles and the Druids. Every Druid in here was the member of the Grand Duke palace, so they would not leak this information by her command.
The Oak Sage floated mid-air towards Abel. It spun around him 2 times before landing in front of him. All of a sudden, Abel, the ravens on his shoulder, and the poison creeper on the ground began to glow in red. It was the Oak Sage’s life force increase ability in action.
A circle symbol of a spirit appeared on the skill tree in the Horadric Cube.
When Abel reached his power of the will towards the last set of symbols, 5 familiar souls began to merge. Abel’s soul had gained his soul connecting experience last time, so this time Abel directly joined the 5 familiar souls with the weak little soul’s power of the will.
It was the soul of a wolf. Although he didn’t know which type, he was sure it was a wolf by the souls’ big ego and cold-bloodedness.
5 spirit wolves jumped out from Merlin’s monster portal bag. Although these things were called wolves, they existed in a half immaterial state. Afterward, they all lifted their heads and howled. Flashes of light flicked beside Abel, guarding him in the middle.
A wolf symbol appeared on the skill tree.
By this point, every Druid knew Merlin was finished. He would be useless if he could wake up. The sacrifice of contract exchange was forever losing the ability to use magic. Therefore, it seemed like Merlin could never regain his ability even if he starts all over again.
Abel swallowed and gave him 4 spells from the Druids this time. Actually, he was very lucky to have all the conditions met. As long as a single requirement was not fulfilled, this kind of contract transfer could not be complete.
First, he needed to fully penetrate the opponent’s power of the will. Normally people would not do this risky behavior if they didn’t have total confidence.
