BXBX NOVEL Chapter 745 Witch Soul Possession
Freya\'s eyes went cold when an outsider questioned her abilities, but even she was in a bind here so she couldn\'t refute.
"Her eyes are different! I think you are controlling the original owner of this body. It\'s like the Grim Ancestor had switched places with her when he noticed your mind-controlling technique. Ask her if the person before was her or the Grim Ancestor, and we\'ll know the truth." Ace quickly revealed his conjecture to Freya.
Freya\'s dark eyes widened ever so slightly as she never expected this sort of situation, so she quickly followed Ace\'s lead and asked Jessie the same question.
In reply, Jessie revealed, "You were not talking with me but the Grim Ancestor. He robbed me of my body after he tricked me into ingesting his magic beast bloodline. I don\'t remember anything after he somehow locked my mind into a dark place where I was constantly fighting for my freedom but to no avail. A few moments ago, I suddenly saw a crack in that dark prison and tried to escape, but it was futile. Now all of a sudden, I regain control over my body."
"How vicious. To escape being effective with her mental skill, that cunning snake quickly changed position with her. In my memories, there is an ancient technique named Ghost Soul Shift Technique, where one can change places with different souls to escape any soul attacks, restrictions, or even death.
"However, in this case, it is a more coarse method, and this soul seemed to be only able to control and switch places with one soul, and that\'s mostly why he was keeping her alive and didn\'t get rid of her soul.
"There are two options we can exploit this. One, if we kill this body, he will die as well if he can\'t escape this body, or he will just appear in its true form without this body. While the second option is even more simple, ask her if she could directly search for the hidden Grim Ancestor\'s soul and take control over it or not.
"In both cases, we\'ll be winning," Eva suggested to Ace through mind transmission as she didn\'t bother to speak out loud because the Grim Ancestor might be listening, and she also knew Ace was talking with Freya using the same sort of method they used to talk.
Ace was quite surprised by Eva\'s suggestion, and he felt it was quite practical, so he quickly asked Freya if she could find and control the Grim Ancestor\'s soul or not.
No one was interested in this girl; Jessie\'s sob story and her information would be completely useless. She was just greedy and already paid for blindly doing everything an old ghost told her to do.
The Grim Ancestor was what held the true information, and Ace also wanted to know how that lamp worked, but now it seemed he had to figure it out himself. Most importantly, he wanted to know how to get out of this place.
As she looked at Jessie, Freya\'s eyes were deadly cold with a hint of humiliation when she thought about how she got tricked and lost face in front of Eva.
Her lips suddenly curled up in a deadly smile as she said to the blank face Jessie, "I must admit I have underestimated those so-called Ancestors. Since you want to play this game, I\'ll play along, I was just searching for another body to make another avatar, and yours seemed quite fine after all. You have spent quite a time nurturing it."
She then used the thought transmission to talk directly with Ace, "Leader, give me a few days to refine this body into my new Witch Avatar with my Witch Soul Possession Ability."
Ace frowned because he knew what Freya wanted to do; they had discussed it when the last time they spoke.
When Ace wanted to insert Freya into the Moon Domain of the Union so she could help him search for the secret realms, he wanted to use her Evil Thief abilities.
But Freya then told him about the Yin Soul Possession Technique\'s true origin, which she only found after she fully awoke the Illusionary Dark Pupil and evolved her bloodline into Grade-7.
It turns out that the Yin Possession Technique was just a simplified version of the Evil Witch Race\'s bloodline innate ability called the Witch Soul Possession Ability.
Not only did this ability not have absurd prerequisites like nurturing a fetus, but with this ability, a Witch can refine a soul and get all its memories and inheritance, and by doing so, also win control over the victim\'s body!
Although the part about splitting the soul and experiencing a lifelong soul injury still remained if the Witch Avatar was killed. But if she remains vigilant, then it can be easily avoidable, and the benefits fully outmatch the disadvantages.
That\'s why she asked Ace to abduct some random Union Student at that time so she could use this skill on her and easily infiltrate the Union under her flawless disguise.
But she wanted to break through into the Soul Embryo Manifestation Realm first because another drawback of this ability was if a part of her soul was missing and acting as her Witch Avatar, she couldn\'t break through a realm wall, ever. Not to mention she\'ll be stronger than ever.
So, Ace easily guessed that Freya wanted to refine Jessie into her Witch Avatar, and while doing so, she would devour the Grim Ancestor\'s soul hiding within Jessie\'s body.
But he has his concern as he sternly uttered, "Don\'t be reckless. I know an ancestor\'s memory is priceless. Just use your Evil Thief\'s abilities; this will be a more safe approach. If this snake is one of the ancient beast ancestors, then I don\'t need to tell you that every title Ancestor represents a de facto Law Comprehension Realm expert. You might suffer a terrible backlash if that old snake has something up his sleeve."
Freya\'s lips curled up as she replied, "I\'m flattered by Leader\'s care. But do you forget this place is where only those affiliated with our Thief House can remain free or someone like Cyrus, who is your pet? Hence, this cunning snake won\'t be able to do much, and I\'m pretty sure he also knew it, and that\'s why he wanted to jump the ship.
"Furthermore, I know my limit, and by the way that snake reacted to my secret spell, it\'s clearly afraid of me and no match for my current prowess, and that\'s why he\'s hiding still.
"The last reason for not using the evil thief\'s abilities is this magic beast\'s body. I can easily tell this body contains a powerful bloodline, and I\'ll be able to fully use it for your advantage until I reach the Law Awareness Realm myself. Moreover, the cultivation of this body is simply too weak in front of mine.
"So, let me do it. I promise I won\'t hold back on those memories if you\'re afraid about this." Freya playfully stated, but her tone was firm, and she really wanted to devour the Grim Ancestor whole.
Ace frown, but he can\'t find refutable words, and Freya really has a valid point about Jessie currently having a Grade-8 bloodline, and Freya having that body would be quite helpful in his future endeavor. While those memories are priceless, and they were better in Freya\'s head than the Grim Ancestor, who he didn\'t trust at all.
Lastly, he already has people wanting to join the thief\'s house, and this was a woman on top of that, so he was more inclined toward handling it like this than incurring Eva\'s irony.
The system was also a very important factor.
In the end, he had to admit this was really a good idea, so he approved it, "Alright, but be careful if you find anything amiss; stop right away. I\'ll have Cyrus watch over you as well. He can easily suppress her bloodline."
Freya smiled enthrallingly, "You are the best. I won\'t disappoint you. But what about that woman? She\'s acting way out of her place!" She finally complained about Eva. Furthermore, she was quite displeased with her tone.
However, what Ace said next almost made Freya\'s mind explode with stupefaction.
"Hah, actually, I think there is no point in hiding it anymore since it will only create more misunderstandings between everyone.
"That woman\'s name is Eva, and she is my childhood sweetheart as well as my Wife!"
