Chapter 186 (Natalia)

The fight will continue on the next chapter. This chapter is the explanation of how is soul recovered.

...

Prior to the current situation. He went to visit his soul sea.

The soul sea or the sea of consciousness. It existed inside the mind of all living beings.

He was currently on a space inside his mind which was his soul sea. It has been a while since he has been here. In this space he can also almost create anything using his imagination, it's quite the same with his dimension, but the things that he created in this space are not real.

"You finally agreed to meet me? Hmm... you should be the spirit of the scythe?." He asked.

In front of him was a youthful girl around the same age as him. She had beautiful snow-white hair that flowed all over her back with red jade eyes. His a head taller than her as her stature is quite the same as Rose. Her breast and ass lean on the smaller side... It was quite modest to be honest. It appears she still have some room to grow. And just like her hair, her skin was also really white.

Still... when you look at her it's as if there are special effects in your field of sight. No matter how you look at her... she looks so pretty and enchanting. It's not an exaggeration if he said that she is the most beautiful girl he met. Especially, how she was dressed like a princess... her clothes was a dark-violet colored royal dress and somewhat on the sexy side.

(I have been describing and comparing the beauty of his women. I think I will make a beauty list)

"Humph! You are in the presence of this princess, you should kneel." The white haired girl said.

"Yeah-yeah, I wonder why so many strong individuals are so arrogant... Not that I can say so myself. Now that I think of it I'm also quite arrogant, is it that the stronger you get the more arrogant you become a common sense?." He wondered to himself, before he asked, "What is your name?, I'm pretty sure you know mine. Well, to respect, I should introduce myself first. I'm Alex." He smiled.

"This princess' name is Natalia." Natalia said while crossing her arms.

"Natalia, huh? It's a nice name. Anyway, you finally decided to talk to me properly." He smiled. Before, he already tried to talk to her many times the moment the scythe was put inside his soul sea. She resided in here was because of the contract they had that unknowingly bounded both of them.

He didn't think to quickly visit his soul sea before since he still had many things to do, it was just that he needed to talk to her right now, as the scythe has a special kind of connection so he could know how to use it properly, he needed to talk to her.

"Humph! I can't just ignore you not being able to fight with a mere divine. We're also connected in a way." Natalia said.

'Oh, so she can also stop referring herself as 'this princess' huh?.' He thought.

"I know, somehow we had a contract and this one is no ordinary contract. Since it can't be broken by any ordinary means." He said.

"That's right, it's a contract with the soul. This contract can't be severed our life and death are now connected. If you die this princess will also die, so don't go on dying and make the princess accompany you." Natalia snorted.

"How did we have this contract in the first place?." He asked.

"It's me who did it. This princess have several reasons to do it. Let's just say this princess is interested in you." Natalia smiled.

"I kinda have a hunch on why..." He said. Well, he didn't have to bother about the reason now anyway.

"Although you could fight that divine if you use this princess, but you can't beat her. The gap between your ranks is still way too high for you to reach, I can only at least give you the strength to not let you lose your life.

You also have your woman with you. I guess, you two could put up a fight. Your woman sure do have a lot of talent, if this continues she would have the talent to reach the top of this universe." Natalia said and it was quite surprising that she praised Scáthach.

"I know, Hmm... I guess you could also praise someone huh?." He smiled.

"Humph! Flatteries won't work on me. If I have not been damage before, just one swing could end that divine's life. Well, you couldn't use me if I was at my peek; your body can't handle it." Natalia smiled as she advised, "I don't prefer killing that dragon though, like your woman she has a lot of talent. If she became one of your companions, it'd be your luck. You just need to create an opportunity to restrict and conquer her, since you and your woman have no chance of beating her at all."

"I was planning to. I can't just hurt a beauty can't I?. Now that we already have a connection, I'm going now." He smiled.

"Hm... May you have free reigns." Natalia smiled, holding the lower part of her dress, she bend one of her foot in front of the other. Then, she bowed.

It was a bow of courtesy.

"Is that how she say good bye? weird..." He mumbled, "Wait! What is this? I never saw this here." As he turned around and plan to exit his soul sea, he saw a gigantic black gate. It was behind him all this time, he didn't notice it before while he was talking

"That? I don't know... It was already there before I came here." Natalia smiled... although she denied knowing it, but her face looks as if she was familiar with it.

He moved closer to the gate, while looking closely at it. He noticed that there were several golden chains covering it. It's as if there was something locked inside.

"Is this the same as that trial? But there were no chains on that one." He wondered to himself while thinking if it was the same as when he got the principle of Infinite.

"How about you take the chains off?." Natalia suggested.

"Oh, okay, I'll try." With that, he slightly levitated closer to the chains. He then moved his hands to break it.

There were not much of resistance as he easily tore it off. The bundle of chains fell before it quickly vanished.

Since the chain was no more. There was nothing to block him, he opened the gate.

Fwoosh*

A burst of air got released the moment the black gate got opened. Focusing his eyes closely to look what is inside, he didn't see anything. It was only a pitch black of darkness.

Still... he felt there was something different with those air as it gathered towards his body. He didn't know if he absorbed it or what... but after a couple second that air disappeared.

'It really is familiar, I could almost grasp it. I need to wait until I recovered, maybe my memories will recover.' Natalia thought.

"What happened?... Although I can't feel any changes, but I feel as if I can do anything." He clenched his hands.

After that, the gigantic black gate also disappeared.

"Sistine, is there any changes in my stats or anything?." He asked.

"Mhn... there is, look." Sistine said

Soul: [Recovered - 5%] > [Recovered - 10%]

"What!..." He was really surprised, he quickly want to find out how could this be related to the gate. But he sensed that Tiamat was already about to move outside.

"I'll deal with this later... I will be going now." He said before he disappeared in his soul sea.

"It really is familiar, I could almost grasp it. I need to wait until I recovered, maybe my memories will recover." Natalia said.

In the space of the soul sea, Natalia bowed in courtesy the very moment he disappeared.

"May you have free reigns, Master."
