I’m Shu Shikure. 17 years old Male. Currently, I’m going by the name of White. It was just a false name, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. However, before I realize it, it had gotten more troublesome than I can handle.
…
This is more interesting than I thought. So it mean –
It must be that!! Right? It have to be!
“From what you say. You demon is like the trainer, and this soul orb is a Pokeball???!!”
I shouted that and then Tilan-chan stared at me blankly.
“Sorry, Master White. I’m unable to understand what you’re saying.”
“No. don’t mind me.”
So I see. These soul orb are Pokeball. I thought while looking at the soul orb that are floating around me. I had 2 soul orbs after killing that demon. One of them is a free one as well. Hohoho~ this is getting interesting.
OH! Somehow, it seems that I skipped on various thing here. Well, Tilan-chan and I were talking about her demonic race.
Apparently, there is only a single demonic race in this dimension. I asked her why there isn’t another race inside this dimension. She said that it is impossible to receive blessing from the demon lord if you aren’t the same race, so no race would rather stay under the control of other demon lord other than its own race.
And the race that is now controlling this dimension is called ‘Soul Incubator’. I first thought that there are different race of demon in this place, since Tilan-chan first used Dark Flame while that demon used Dark Serpent. However, they all are the same.
And this race is surprisingly interesting. They captured soul, nurtured it and combined with their soul to use its ability. After hearing this, ‘Pokemon Trainer’ come to mind. And it somehow similar to tamer as well. Except that, they can fuse to only a single soul at the time. They can defuse the soul if they want to fuse with stronger soul seed.
To fuse soul, they only need soul orb. These soul orb is a strange item which only Soul Incubator can create using excess fragment of their soul. Soul orb act like a container to store the captured soul. Soul orb that has captured soul inside it is called Soul Seed. And then incubator nurtured it until it is ready to hatch and merge with soul. Merging is simple by swallow the soul orb.
Listening to her, I got really excited and I really want to know how to create soul orb. I continued to ask her about the soul seed.
There is 2 type of soul seeds. Sprite Seed and Beast Seed.
Tilan-chan’s current soul seed is ‘Dark Flame Sprite’. Tilan’s Dark Flame Sprite is in the first type. Sprite seed is like an artificial made soul from combining mass of essence and elemental energy. And it is hard to incubate a sprite seed because controlling essence is really difficult. If one isn’t strong in controlling it, one might never succeed in incubate it.
Another type is beast seed. This type of seed is made by capturing a soul, and then nurtured it with essence or soul until it is ready to hatch and merge with our soul. This is easier to incubate, and the rate of success is higher as well. And more importantly, it gave more effect than sprite seed. This is the most popular way to use and most of demon used it method.
Felt strange, I asked Tilan-chan why she incubate a sprite seed.
“At that time, I was too weak to kill and capture monster on field. And so I bet on my chance to incubate Sprite Seed. After 5 years, I was success and I become a full fledge demon after merging with it.”
I see. Since she was a made demon. She was weak at first. Listening to her talking about several of soul seed, I became interested. There are many more type within the Beast Seed, and there is even a type of a soul seed which has the ability to turn human to a demon.
That sound dangerous. I want to avoid that demon at all cost. However, Tilan-chan didn’t know anything about it.
“Tilan-chan. What’s the effect after merging with your soul seed?”
I asked her since I wondered what kind of effect she has. Since she merged with this soul seed, she was able to control dark flame. However, she said that since it is a variant type of flame sprite, she wasn’t able to control it properly. Especially when it is a dark type variant, she sometimes lost control of herself and gone mad. Her body was reinforce to some extents, and her soul grew larger which is why she was able to rank up.
And then, the demon I killed fused with a rare race of serpent. It was a Hydra! He can control other serpent like dark serpent and other snake as well. However, I think that it is rather strange thing. That demon was able to use strange skill with his soul seed, but Tilan-chan can only do a few trick with it.
She can coat it on her attack, use it to dispel the ice, and use it like a bomb. However, that demon was able to use serpent like a whip, summoning multiple snakes at the time, and even created pit of snake to devour everything. I feel that guy is too OP for a Greater Demon.
Different type of soul seed, different effect is granted. This is bad. I’m getting excited. I asked her how to capture soul, and it is only possible when you are Soul Incubator. She said it in a way that it seems like it was the racial specialty of those demon.
HOWEVER! For someone who can move soul and control them to some extent, this task isn’t impossible!
“Tilan-chan, is it possible for other race than Soul Incubator to merge with the soul seed?”
To my question, she said yes. It is possible for other race to merge with the mature soul seed with the help of Soul Incubator.
With that question answered, I immediately want everyone to merge with a powerful soul seed before going to war with the demon. With this, our chance of survival increased by step.
KNOW YOUR ENEMY! There’s no wrong in using the same way of the enemy. And so I declared and decided that everyone should have an appropriate soul seed!!
“Tilan-chan. Can you make more Soul Orb?”
“Yes, I can. However, there is a limit to how many I can make. And after I make it, I have to wait several year before I can make it again.”
“I see. That’s a bit hard.”
“Master White. Are you intending to merge soul seed?”
“Yeah, I think that it is interesting.”
“Interesting? Hmm. As expected of you. We demon are weak and so we have to depend on the soul seed as if it was out life. However you said that it is interesting to have it.”
“What wrong? Are you mad?”
“Of course not. It shows your strength and curiosity. Only someone of your caliber can do this. I also felt that merging with soul seed might not contributed so much to you.”
“Well. It’s no hurt merging with one. And I want everyone in my team to merge with one as well.”
“Everyone? I’m sorry, but that is impossible. I can at most help you to merge with a soul seed. However, I can’t help other.”
“Hmm? Why?”
“Because I am unable to do so. Merging soul myself is easier than help other to merge with soul seed. Soul Incubator has strong soul which has extremely high rate of success when merging with soul. However, other race can’t say to have high rate. And it failed, either the soul seed die or that person die by having their soul swallowed by the soul seed. Beside, I’m going to use my own soul essence to help you stabilize and merge with the soul seed.”
“So there is a catch in that, huh? This is bad. We can’t proceed until we solve this. Tilan-chan, can you tell or estimated the rate of success of people when they are merging with the soul seed?”
“There are 2 factor to consider. The first is the maturity of the soul seed. If it is not yet mature and is used to merge with soul. It will consume the soul essence instead to mature itself. And if it is too matured, it will tried to take over that person’s soul and consume it. So it has to be the right time. And the second factor is how strong one soul’s resistance is.”
“So which factor can you tell?”
“The second one. I can tell how strong a person’s soul is by their essence. However, I can’t tell whether the soul seed is mature enough to too mature.”
I asked her why, and she replied that Soul Incubator has no reason to do so. They never care about merging with soul seed because it is always a success.
I felt stress about it, but since I couldn’t do anything it yet. I decided to think later. Problem is not without solution. Onii-chan is positive! There is nothing Onii-chan can’t solve!
“I see. If that’s the case, we can think of the solution later. So right now, let’s get to the act. Tilan-chan, can you show me how to create the Soul Orb?”
“Now?!”
She was startled and then she turned bright red. Heh? What? What’s wrong? Why are you embarrassed?
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“It’s because I forgot to tell you that when I create it. I have to go naked….”
She said in low voice, and it gradually become impossible to hear. She also became red tomato.
I see. In order to create the soul orb, she has to go naked. I see. This is – a chance! NO!! Calm down me! I’m not the kind of person who would take advantage at the time like this!!
There is no point in watching with no touching! No, I won’t do it!!
However, I thought that if I were to see and understand the process of making the soul orb. Maybe I can somehow create one myself. However, if she didn’t want to do in front of me. I don’t want to force her either. Even if she is a demon, she was still a human girl. And so this kind of thing is too embarrassing.
Still!!! The importance of understand the process to make it, I can’t ignore that as well. It might become a key to create a whole troop of army with merged soul seed.
So, should she do it or not?
“Tilan-chan. How long does it take to make one?”
“It’s quite fast. I only need 15 minutes to do it so…..”
She still said with low voice and gradually vanished.
“If Master White want, then I can show you. As long as you take responsibility…”
She said while hiding her own face. Wait, isn’t it weird? When did this girl turned incomparably cute like this? Wasn’t she more hot tempered and the type to rebuke with cold straight face?
When did she turned this emotional? How did she turned this MOE??!!!
This is bad! This is really bad. I had bad feeling! I feel like another weird flag will be raised at any moment.
“Ice Domain. Ice wall. Ice Strengthening Magic : Jade Turtle Shell”
I immediately created a small changing room that is completely sealed and there is a hole on it.
“Since I made this, you don’t have to worry about me seeing your body. There is a hole is so extend your arm out when you created the Soul Orb. I want to see clearly the process how to make it.”
I said while smiling to her, but then she looked rather disappointed.
‘Tch’
She even clicked her tongue!! This girl, she –
“Oi! You –”
“I give up. I thought it was easy to seduce you, but I was wrong. Your type of person is too hard to deal with.”
Tilan-chan said in her usual cold and straight face. Like I thought, this girl is messing around.
“What the hell are you trying to do?”
“Master White. I think it is right for master to show love to his familiar. ”
“Like hell, you were thinking of something different, didn’t you?”
“It can’t be helped, I have been a demon for so long. Who know if something inside me change?”
“No, everything about you change!”
“You can’t say that, Master White. I didn’t change much, you know? It’s just a matter of clothes. Once you have enough Experience, having it on or not doesn’t matter –”
Experience?
“– and besides, whether I changed or not, I still can’t deal with your type. The PURE VIRGIN TYPE –”
Why are you stressed on that?!
“– Uwaa~ just thinking about it make me want to puke. When I see your type, it become my first target to kill. Those PURE VIRGIN TYPE are so hard dealt with, so I’ll finish them beforehand.”
RUTHLESS! Why did you have to do that to them?!! At least let them break the shell!! DEMON!
“That’s why I say that seducing you will be for naught. However, I’m fine with that way.”
Tilan-chan said while having a rare real smile on her face. And then she put her hand on her chest.
“As a familiar, your love and your soul is connected to me, and that part is belong to me and me alone. Nobody can steal that bond or severe that bond no matter what. However, as a familiar, I also know that I could never hope to be in the top of your heart. I won’t complain to that, and I’m satisfied with what you gave me. Even I can’t be at the top, I hope that one day, you’ll put me in your heart.”
She said it, and I feel the sincerity from her heart. I was taken by surprise. I didn’t expect that this girl have this side of her. Come to think of it, isn’t what she said a confession?
To be honest, I never receive this kind of confession before since I look like background character. However, now that I have new look with 350 charm, things changed. Oh wait, I think it was confessed when I look like a background character as well. Who was it again?
I thought and then a certain red hair girl in maid clothes appeared in my mind.
Eluciquilibella. A girl who called herself with a weird name. Her real name is Bell, but she kept calling herself like that. And the girl who first confessed to me when I came to this world.
I missed her. I wondered where she is now. Since she was also near me when I was fighting, she should be transferred to this place as well. I hope that she will be alright.
“You guy will always be in my heart. Kori, Yuichi, and Tilan. I as your master promise you that I’ll fulfill all your wish. I’ll make sure that I’ll bring happiness to you guy as well. Our soul are connected. Be it happiness or sadness. We’ll share it all together. That’s your right. That’s your privilege! Nobody will take it away from you. Be it demon or god, I’ll never allow it. My guy are my family after all.”
I said back to them. Kori looked at me with beaming eyes and then she run toward and hugged me. She didn’t say anything, but I can feel the unending excitement in her heart. She hid her face in my chest.
Yuichi roared loudly outside. And Tilan-chan bowed down on one knee.
“It’s alright. Get up.”
“Thank you, Master White. It may be rude of me, but I’ll have a request.”
“It’s alright. Speak up.”
“Please, allow me to help you merge the soul seed.”
“Yeah. It’s alright. I intend to have you help me”
“Will you promise?”
“Yeah”
Since she asked too many question, I felt a bad premonition. However, I accept that without much thought. And then I realized my mistake when Tilan-chan grinned evilly.
“Now, Master White can’t go back on his word. Hehehe~”
“YOU! What are you planning?”
“What are you talking about? Master White? I’m just happy that I can be of your help. There’s no better joy than this.”
“LIAR! The look on your face said otherwise! Did you think I’m an idiot?”
“How could you?! How could you accuse me of such thing. I never planned anything before you like this!”
“You can plan behind me freely??!! Enough of this. Tilan-chan. I command you, tell me what you’re going to do when you help me merge the soul seed.”
“Full set of whole night Intercourse… Arh~ MASTER WHITE!! That’s unfair!! How could you make me said that??!!”
Hee… so that’s your goal, huh? However, Intercourse, huh? I can’t believe this girl is so scheming that everything she said before was just a façade to hide her real intention.
Sadly, she is dealing with me. Did you think now that I found out about this you can get away with it?
“Hohohoho~ Tilan-chan. I just heard something interesting. Mind explaining me why?”
“It’s because I love you!”
“The real reason?”
“I have been single for too long. Even as a human, I never had any relationship, and even after I become a demon. I never relationship! So I want to have relationship at least once!!! Now that I see a perfect man like you, why would I let go of a chance like this? Only stupid women would let you go like this?!!!”
As I thought, this girl – is a pervert. A closet and scheming pervert.
“Master White! I hate you!! Why would let me reveal my secret like that??!!”
“Shut up, pervert. So tell me, what’s the real way to help me merge with Soul seed?”
“Of course, it’s Full set of whole night Intercourse –”
“Then what’s the way to help someone else with soul seed?”
“Tied him, gagged him and strip him –”
“That’s enough. I don’t want to hear it anymore. You sadist!”
I shouted and closed Kori’s ear. Tilan-chan seemed to grinning ear to ear looking at me.
“You have to choice but to choose one. Master White. Either full set or S set!”
“I DON’T NEED THEM!! AND AREN’T THEY THE SAME??!!”
“If that’s the case, I’ll let you take the lead in Full set.”
“NOTHING CHANGED!! You sadist pervert! And what the hell we bargaining here for?!! I don’t want it!”
“I see. You are unsatisfied with it. Then you can have the both set.”
I brandished a sword and pointed to her forehead. I just lost to myself in this.
“Somehow, you didn’t seem to hear me clearly. Tilan-chan. Mind telling me which of your cell contain those pervert? I’ll make sure that I’ll get rid every single one of them and they would never regenerated back no matter how many times you died.”
“It’s no use threatening me. You know?”
I infused my qi in the sword and swung toward the Jade closet which I just created. With a ‘swoosh’, everything vaporized. Tilan-chan stared at that blankly and had a gloomy look in her eyes.
“Still, M-M-M-Master White need my help in order to merge the Soul Seed.”
She stuttered while avoiding my gaze.
“Are you stupid? What are you thinking about? I just refuse and don’t merge the soul seed. I want to try it since it is kind of fun and interesting. Since thing has gone this way already. I don’t want it anymore”
When I said that, she stared at me blankly and then she opened her eyes wide as if she just realized something. While facing my sword, she began to tremble all over and finally she screamed ‘MY MASTER PLAN’.
Is this girl an idiot? Didn’t she think of the possibility of me rejecting her offer? As long as I chose this way, her plan will collapse on its own.
“Any Last Word?”
“SORRY! I KNOW MY WRONG!! HAVE MERCY MASTER WHITE!”
I raised my sword and pointed at her. She was scared silly and bowed down to the ground immediately.
“Too late. Didn’t you were full of yourself a while ago? It seems like you’ll need severe punishment!”
“Sorry. Master White. Please have mercy on me. I’m an S, that’s why I don’t want to become an M!!”
“It seems like you never learn your mistake. Tell me, should I spare you??”
“Master, What’s S and M?”
Kuh! Kori tilted her head and asked me. See what’s you done??!! I glared at Tlan-chan. That’s it. This girl never learn her lesson. Time to give her punishment. I’ll make sure to make her remember.
“Tilan-chan. I sentence you to death 100 times.”
“HIII!!! Master White! 100 times are too much. I might go crazy and won’t be able to regenerate on my own again!!”
“That’s your crime!”
“NooooO!!”
“WAAA~”
Before I swung down, Kori stopped my hand. She looked at me with her red eyes, and then she begged me.
“Master, Forgive.”
The anger subsided as if it was never there. I pulled the sword away and put it back in the ring. I look at Tilan-chan and sighed.
“Fine. Consider yourself lucky. However, there won’t be next time. Keep pervert stuff to yourself and you’d better let me find out that Kori knew any special term.”
She nodded so fast that her head almost fell on its own.
“Thank you. Master White!”
“Thank Kori. She save your life after all.”
“KORI-CHAN!! Thank you!! I was scared!! Master White is too scary. I was just playing around, but he was going to kill me.”
Tilan-chan crawled and hugged Kori-chan while crying. What’s with this good for nothing demon?! Kori-chan patted her head with ‘Pon Pon’ comforting her. Feeling warmed from Kori-chan, she cried even harder while calling ‘ONEE-SAMA’!
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.
As I thought, this girl is no good at all. I felt extremely exhausted looking at her.
After a silly crying session’s over, she put on her usual cold and straight face.
“We sidetrack a bit, but let’s continue. I’m going to create the Soul Orb now.”
Well, it’s about time! I’m not to say about it since I don’t have the energy to do so.
She began the process of making the soul orb. Looking at her, it seems that she is just standing idly. However, with Spiritual Perception, I was able to tell the process clearly.
Within her soul, she began to form a barrier protecting her own soul. And then she started trimming the excess part of her soul outside of the barrier, and collected them in strain.
Yeah, she is collecting them strain by strain, and then those strains started to coil together giving a form of ball. The trimming process is fast, but the rate of collecting and coiling is a bit slow.
Looking at that process, I began to use analyze the process and structure of that soul orbs as well. At the finishing part is interesting. She used essence of her own soul to activate that Soul orbs. And then as if awaken, that soul orbs absorbed her soul essence and strengthened itself.
After 15 minutes, she finished. And then a light orb slightly bigger than mine appeared in her hand.
“Master White, It’s a Greater Light Orbs. After transforming, my soul got stronger and bigger which is why I can create this”
She present me the light orbs, and I confirmed that it is indeed a soul orbs. However, I frowned as I find some error while analyzing the way that she created this thing.
I hold it in my hand, and then I chopped it in half with the sword I had in hand. Even without using my qi, I was able to cut through it so easily. As I thought, it was too crude. The way that she created it wasn’t refined at all. It was too primitive and she wasted too many amount of her soul strain.
“KYYAAAAA!!! SOUL ORB!!! MY SOUL!!”
Tilan-chan screamed at that scene while holding her face. And then she turned to me with the teary eyes asking why.
Since I was analyzing the structure and trying to find a way to improve the soul orb, I ignore her.
Holding to the remains of the soul orb, she sobbed pitifully. Kori is caressing her head to conform her. After analyzing and running simulation inside my head. I was able to imagine a structure that use less soul strain and has improvement on the structure which made it even stronger.
I was going to try, but hearing Tilan-chan pitiful sobbing. I couldn’t bear so I went to apologize. I also explain to her what really happened as well.
Hearing what I said, she shouted angrily.
“If Master White is so sure of his method. Then create a better Soul orb here and now!!”
I wasn’t really angry at her giving me that attitude because I think she has the right to do so this time.
And without hesitation, I started creating it. It wasn’t hard since I know how to control the soul to some extents.
First step, Soul Barrier Forming.
Second Step, Excess Soul essence trimming.
I followed the same steps as how Tilan-chan did, but the next step, I’m going to change it a bit.
‘Ice Domain’
I created a hollow ice ball on my hand using the structure that I imagined. 30 seconds, and the ball was formed perfectly. Since it worked well, I started using the Soul Strain to form the ball exactly the same way.
I didn’t trim all of the excess soul from my soul. I just trim the same amount of the excess soul as Tilan-chan just did. And I used a fifth of it to form the new improved soul orb.
Tilan-chan dropped her jaw looking at me. Hahahaha~ it’s not over yet!
After the first one is created, I used the remaining Soul Strain to form another 4 simultaneously. After all of them is completed, I fuse and awaken it with my soul essence and mana essence.
*Ting*
You have acquired new class skill. Active Class Skill : Soul Orb Creation.
Your Soul Orb Creation skill has Leveled up…
Your Soul Orb Creation skill has Leveled up…

Your Soul Orb Creation skill has Leveled up…

I finished and a message showing long list of Skill level up. The heck? What did I do? I just created it the first time, and it leveled up so much. I need to check it out.

This is too crazy!! What’s with this sudden leveled up??! Isn’t it too cheating?? I even know how to form 7 forms of different Soul Orbs!! Looking at the list, I can see that the level I reached is far higher than Tilan-chan. She seemed to be happy when she can create the second forms, but I know a form which is better than her pride 6 times.
What should I do? I only want to improve it, but I didn’t expect this to get like this! Analyze-sama!! You’re too OP!! The skill I got from long time ago, I didn’t expect it to play so important role in making me a cheat.
After closing the message, I turned to the soul orbs in my hand and used Identify.

I’m speechless. I’m sorry, but I don’t understand a thing about it. No, it’s not that I don’t understand, but my mind refuse to understand cheat? Even the name changed! It’s no longer a soul orbs, but a soul sphere! I don’t know what that mean, but it seems that Soul Sphere is 4 times better than Soul orb.
Seeing that I was gloomy looking at the Soul Orbs. Tilan smiled.
“Hehe~ It’s alight. Master White. Nobody succeed in their try. The fact that you can form a barrier and trim your own soul is good enough. Though, you can’t awaken the soul orbs, there’s no reason to be so sad. You even attempt to try creating 5 at the same time. It is admirable.”
Sorry, that isn’t the thing I’m worrying about. I understand your feeling, but if you were in my case. You would –
I haven’t finished thinking, Tilan took one of my Soul Sphere, and her eyes went white. OI! 15 seconds later, she came back breathing hard. This girl was actually shocked to death! Scary! Soul Sphere is scary.
“Hahahah~ I must be dreaming. To think that Master White can create something like Soul Sphere and 5 at the times. Hahahha~”
She looked at it again and her eyes went white again. Kori also took one from me and carefully inspect it. Since she didn’t understand it, she returned it back. I also took the one that Tilan-chan is holding on.
15 seconds passed, Tilan-chan got back.
“Master White, are you sure you’re not a demon lord?”
“I’m pretty sure that I’m a human.”
“Then how?”
“I analyze the process you did it, and made some small improvement to it.”
“WHERE IS THE SMALL IMPROVEMENT??!! It’s no longer a Soul Orb!! It even rank up and that the level of which Demon General can create!! And besides, Improved version?? Even Demon lord wouldn’t know how to do it!!!”
Well, that’s because I have full archive on Soul archive. And so I was able to use the knowledge I get to improved Soul Orbs.
“And there’s even Fusion Spark! Do you know what it mean??!! It means that you can capture multiple different soul and had it merged together to form a different Soul. Within the Capacity of 1500, you can at least fit 15 sprite seed at a time and use Fusion Spark on it, you know!! However, this feature is so rare that it only appeared in Mythical Soul Orb or higher. And one times is the best it get!! However, you have 2 times of it. That’s equal to having fuse 30 sprite seed!! Imagine how strong the Soul Seed will become!!”
S-S-So I see. Thank to her explanation, I understand what these 5 Soul Sphere represent. From what she said, this is a really powerful Soul Sphere which can captured most of the Beast Seed since their Soul Capacity rarely even exceed 700. In another word, I’m able to create Master Pokeball AKA MasterBall now!!!
This is an event to be celebrated!! I waked up TIlan-chan who is lost mumbling the greatness of the Soul Sphere. Since I have learned how to create the Soul Orbs now. Let’s move on the next step. There is still capturing and merging process left.
“To think that Master White-sama’s soul is on the same level of Demon lord. I’m once again surprised.”
“In any rate, let’s move on. Next, you’re gonna show me how to capture a soul.”
“That’s indeed the next step. So what do you want to nurture? A sprite soul seed or a beast soul seed?”
“What do you think? Which is easy to get now?”
“To get a beast Soul, you would have to find and killed a monster. However, chance getting their soul intact is low. Only Rare monster would leave their soul intact after killing it. And another way is to get the eggs of the monster before it is born”
Heh? Monster has eggs? They aren’t spawned? Wait, maybe they do spawn and lay eggs at the same time. However, both method are hard. It take too much time to do it. Even if I can lure monster from the surrounding area, it will cause danger to Venolia’s people as well.
“Then how about sprite soul seed?”
I asked her thinking that the beast soul seed is a backup plan. And since she has Sprite Soul Seed herself, maybe she can show me a better way.
“Sprite Soul Seed is simple. Simply by channeling your essence and mana inside the Soul Orbs, em in this case, it’s Soul Sphere. If you’re lucky enough, a consciousness is formed and then a sprite soul seed will be created.”
“That’s it?”
And it depend on luck?? It doesn’t seem so realistic at all! I thought she might has some clue on how to make it, but considering that she used 5 years to continuously filling the Soul Orbs, I guess it isn’t simple as it seems.
“Well, since it is simple, I’ll try it.”
And so I decided to do it. I’m going to create a Sprite Soul Seed. And so, I activated various skill and changed my default Ice affinity to Pure Ancient Ice. And then I started filling in mana and my essence.
The Soul Sphere took quite a lot mana and essence. This feel like the Magic Prayer which drained my mana fast and easily.
“Tilan-chan. How do the Sprite form its own consciousness anyway?”
“I don’t really know myself as well. However, I succeed after 5 years because I think of the place where I used to nurtured the Soul Orbs. It was a place which is filled with life force.”
So it needed life force as well? Is that my HP or something else? I’m getting frustrated since I don’t know other way. However, after thinking for awhile, I decided to put everything I can that is related to the life force.
First, I trimmed a port of my soul. They were soul strain which is about a tenth of which I used to create the Soul Sphere. I inserted it inside the soul sphere. It floated to the center and formed a tiny core. Mana and the essence inside started to revolve around the tiny core.
And then I added my qi for the finishing touch.
*Ba-Dump*
And suddenly, I felt a slight tremble within the Soul Sphere. This is –! A reaction!! With excitement thought inside of me, I started to fill in more qi, mana, and essence.
*Ba-Dump* *Ba-Dump* *Ba-Dump* *Ba-Dump* *Ba-Dump* *Ba-Dump*…..
The slight tremble got louder and clear, and it was like the beating of the heart. The soul sphere inside my hand also shined brightly as well. Since I think that it might break apart, I used Strengthening magic to turn it to jade.
With the Durability increased, I also increased my input as well.
After 30 minutes passed, the shining stopped and it stopped accepting more of my mana and essence as well. I felt really tired after it, and I wanted to lie down. There was a reaction, so it was a great thing. However, I only have 20% of both HP and MP left after giving it all to the Soul Sphere. If I have to do this everyday, wouldn’t it be a tiresome labor? I sat down and stabilize my breath. I also used up most of my qi as well.
I’m gonna hand it to Tilan-chan. She kept doing this for 5 years.
“Master White! Master White! Look!”
Suddenly, she called me and I looked toward what she was pointing. It was the Soul Sphere that I just used. There is cyanic and silver light inside it flickering and jumping around. What’s going on?
“This –”
“It’s a Sprite!! It’s actually a Sprite!! You succeed!!”
Seriously?? This is the Sprite?? I just made one this easily??!! I looked at it and used Identify.

What’s with this?!!! Isn’t this a perfect match for me??!! I mostly used Ice magic so it is perfect for me! Even with the increase 10% in performance and 1% mana reduction, it’s still great! And it has level! I feel like it’s going to grow stronger and stronger. This is a best supporting Sprite!!
While I was cheering, Tilan-chan and Kori-chan looked at the Soul Sphere with interest. And so, I started showing them. Tilan-chan looked shocked at first, but then she sighed.
“There’s nothing surprising about you anymore, Master White. To think that you create an Ancient Sprite in less than day like this. It put my 5 years in shame.”
Saying with a straight face, she handed the soul Sphere to Kori. Kori seemed to find something interesting about it. She started caressing it and putting it closer to her ear. She even called it if it heard her. After playing with for a while, she returned it to me and she sat on my lap.
*Ba-Dump*
While holding to the Soul Sphere. I still feel the beating of the Sprite. And then it started to shine brightly for the second time. This time, it shone so bright that I have to close my eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, but the Soul Sphere is no longer there! Where does it go??!! I looked around and I couldn’t find it at all. I looked at Tilan-chan who is looking at me with big eyes. After a while, she returned back to normal.
“Arh~ Don’t worry about it. Master White. The Soul Sphere didn’t go anywhere. It has already been merged with your soul.”
Heh? Did I hear it wrong?? It has already merged, but what’s actually happened?
“It seems that the Sprite is willing to be part of you. This case isn’t so rare, some soul seed is willingly to merge with a compatible incubator. I just didn’t expect it was created, matured and merged at the same day.”
“Really? So it is really in me right now??”
“You can check your status to see it.”
I listened to her and hurriedly opened my status.

Oh! There is really a new row added inside my status now. I didn’t expect it at all. This is great!! And look at my HP and MP! They regenerating in such speed.
“Congratulation on getting a soul seed. Master White.”
Tilan said while bowing to me.
“Looking at the stats, I think it is perfect for you. Even though, it is still weak at the moment, soon it will get stronger and it will granted you more ability”
“Hmm? Ability? I thought that it has no Combat Ability?”
“Yeah. It will be supporting ability. If it was a combat Sprite, I don’t think it would benefit much to you. However, now that it is a supporting Sprite, you will be greatly become stronger because of it”
Thinking about it really made me happy, but then I thought of something. I haven’t had a clue how to merge the soul seed. What happened to me was so fast that I couldn’t even see clearly what was going on. Let alone see, I didn’t even feel anything.
Damn! I should have waited! Whatever, there’s no point arguing about this thing. I know how to form the Soul Orbs and captured a soul seed now. The last step is the only thing I need so it can be for later.
‘MASTER!’
While I was giving the Soul Sphere to Tilan-chan, Yuichi called me.
What’s wrong? Yuichi!
‘We have arrived in Topel, but there is a slight problem.’
Problem? What kind of problem??
‘Currently, there is an army readied for battle in the outskirt of the Topel!’
Army??
Stop for now, Yuichi. Since the army is mobilized, something must have happened. We’ll wait and see.
‘Understood’
“Kori. This is emergency. Go and gather everyone! Tilan-chan, you’ll fly outside and observe the situation.”
I gave my order immediately.
“Aye Aye”
Kori said and then she dashed off. Tilan-chan turned and asked me.
“Topel has mobilized its own army. Something must have happened. I want you to see and find out the current situation.”
After they were gone. I get prepared myself as well. I rearranged the item in my ring so that I can easy take out the necessary thing. And then, Yuichi next report shocked me greatly.
‘Master! There’s purple light above the army and there is a maid falling from it!’
