Chapter 103 Abominations
I was in an empty place without any physical object, hence my feet weren't even on hard ground. I looked around to only see white, ethereal expense of my soul.
Yes I was in my soul as the subspace magic was using my soul as a medium to store things.
I didn't know how they found such a method but it was apparent that it wasn't founded with peaceful methods.
Interfering with souls was hard and deadly, which was why I was sure that the mage who created this magic used humans to experiment to not endanger their life.
Well, I didn't care about it either, as it was beneficial to me like this.
I thought that I would learn one or two things about the souls with this magic, which was my first priority right now.
I needed to heal Ilelia's soul, put Aria's soul to a body and most importantly, I needed to lift the curse on my soul to get rid of this boredom.
Fortunately, I got this opportunity to learn more about souls as I had literally Aria's soul in my hand.
But before going to do my research about this, I needed to empty my storage artifact into my subspace. Which lasted for an hour but I still managed to take out every item.
Though my gaze lingered on the undead little girl of the necromancer.
'Should I modify this corpse and put Aria's soul inside of it?'
It looked like a good idea as I was thinking of making this undead little girl a vampire like undead. Which was fast, strong, with little to no vital points and able to regeneration. It was perfect for a servant to be like that, almost immortal. So, modifying and making a vessel for Aria was better than putting her into her own corpse as her corpse was weak and she was about to be a burden for me because of her weakness.
Hence I put the corpse onto the operation table that I took out from my storage artifact and began to pour mana into the corpse's brain, heart and skin.
The reason for this is that I thought it would gain some sort of affinity to my mana which in return became a mana battery for me.
Though this seemed to me that it would take too long as the changes that I felt with my mana sense was almost minuscule. So what I needed to do was bathe this corpse in my mana for a long period of time.
That is why making this corpse as my mana battery postponed for an unknown amount of time.
Then I got out of my subspace as my mana got low after pouring into the corpse and the subspace was using mana, which could be bad if my mana ran out in the subspace.
Anyway, after getting out from the subspace, I decided to enter the cave's depths because I thought that it would have something valuable or rare in there as it contained 2 mana fiends of high rank.
I lit my magical lantern and began to traverse into the cave with slow and heavy steps.
It was a little bit dangerous as my mana was low but I still searched inside as I was bored after emptying my storage artifact for an hour.
Well, the cave was smaller than I thought and it seemed to be impossible to even fit the large snake that I killed.
'Probably that mana beast could change its size without any problem.' I concluded then I saw a primitive stone door about 3 meters tall.
'Was that werewolf intelligent enough to make a door?' I thought after seeing the corrosive marks on the side of the stone entrance.
'Well, from what I know the intelligence of the mana monsters are comparable to the 5 year olds, but their mind is more warped and sadistic. So, there is little chance of this.' I thought and walked forward to the stone entrance without thinking.
The inside of the room was what I had expected; smelly, stuffy and filled with hair of the werewolf and skin of the snake. But there was something that I didn't expect.
2 mana beast cubs were sleeping while hugging each other's bizarre bodies. Lower half of their body was like that of a snake while their upper body was like that of a werewolf. Their eyes were red and their pupils were slit. Their wolf-like mouths weren't filled with teeth like you would usually expect but just 2 long sharp teeth on each side of their mouth, and their tongues were like snakes, like paper.
Even I felt some repulsion after seeing these abominations.
'How the fuck they even mated?' I thought and looked at the abominations more thoroughly.
Even though I didn't have any experience in this kind of thing, I knew that it was impossible for a snake and werewolf to mate.
So I thought that they would have some sort of stitches on their body or some sort of illness or even some serious deformation that would make their lives terrible and painful.
But I couldn't find it. They were completely healthy and would probably live for hundreds of years if they don't get killed.
'Well, I can't look after them or even make them my pet. I should kill them without them waking up.' I thought and my blood dagger appeared in my hand.
Subspace that I created was inside of my soul, which made it possible to take out the items inside of it without any chants or physical moves. It was like using chantless magic.
Anyway, I held my blood dagger tightly and went to the side of the abominations. I lifted my hand and was about to swing my dagger to their throats, I stopped.
Not because a heroic mercy appeared inside of me but because I saw some black liquid on their side.
That acidic black substance seemed pretty useful to me and I thought of taking a few liters of it.
