Chapter 215 Awakening A Beast Spirit!
…But it was too late. Ninhursag touched my head before I could even resist or run away, and she smiled gently at me. The energies within her body began to gather around her hand and then, a stream of gold light flew into my head all the way down to my entire body! And… It hurts a lot.
"You\'re the strongest here so I expect you to not be so intimidated by the pain, Sylphy." She said. "Beast Spirit Awakening…!"
FLASH!
Ninhursag conjured a special spell named Beast Spirit Awakening that… well, it awakened a Beast Spirit into someone\'s body through the usage of her specialized magic. The Mana she infused into my began to quickly attempt to take something from within my body that was stuck there, like some sort of very hard thing that wasn\'t really any physical part of my body, it felt like an essence that has been stuck there for way too long, which she aggressively tried to take away, it hurt a lot, like the searing pain of several needles piercing your insides, it was indeed a ritual of endurance, and I don\'t know if Aquarina and Zack would be able to resist it as much as I was doing so, mostly because my mind was used to pain and it didn\'t distract me from it as much as others would be distracted from it to the point they might even pass out…
"It\'s almost there…" Said Ninhursag, Aquarina and Zack were looking at me with surprise and intrigue, wondering what could be inside of me.
A mass of red-colored energy slowly began to emerge, like a searing flame that started to spread everywhere, several scales showed, and even a long red tail, and then, even wings. What was surging from my body as my primary Spirit Beast essence was not something normal at all, it wasn\'t some random monster or beast, it was… yes, it was Ignatius, but this didn\'t felt like him though. This felt like the most primary of his essences, like the thing I got form him without the soul, the "essence" of the Red Dragon I once ate as a little child. All these years it has been stuck inside of my body and it has even enhanced my growth in strength and magic, but now… It was getting to completely new levels.
"W-What is… this?!" Asked Ninhursag in shock. The Skin Changer looked at the fiery aura surging from my body with eyes wide open, the enormous flames shaped themselves as a large and furious dragon covered in hard, red-colored scales, and his entire presence was domineering. The pain changed from needles piercing my insides to a very painful fire burning my entire body, it felt as if I was truly being embraced by the flames and burned alive, this wasn\'t something that a normal person would be able to bear at all… Wasn\'t this a bit too much, actually?
Ignatius, the spirit, quickly reacted to this essence within my soul scape, as he began to grow alarmed, he felt as if something, a part of him, was finally being brought back. He looked around desperately and began yapping around as if he wanted me to bring him back outside to check this, but I refused, if I brought him outside, he would interrupt the ritual and something bad might happen if that really ends up happening, so it is better for him to assess the situation later than now.
"Let me out, Sylphy! T-That\'s a part of my very power…" He said. "Let me absorb it so I can grow stronger!"
"Ignatius, this is not what you think it is, stop being so annoying and stay quiet!" I told to him through telepathy, the floating egg got pissed and began barking around angrily, roaring back at me, and telling me how this would help us, but I ignored him.
After all this ritual wasn\'t to make him stronger, it was to teach me how to use a fraction of what Ninhursag is capable of doing, the power of shaping herself as the essence of the beasts she had consumed. If this is true, then what could happen to me? Would I become a giant red dragon? No, I think that\'s too unrealistic…
FLAAASH!
"GROOOOAARRRR…!"
The Red Dragon fiery aura continued to emerge from my body, growing larger and larger until it suddenly shaped itself as a complete spirit, a gigantic one at that with an enormous and ridiculous size. So ridiculously big that it left me quite. I wonder if this is the size that spirits are supposed to have? No… there\'s no way that\'s the case. I saw how Ninhursag looked at my spirit, she was very surprised. The size of the spirit was already shocking for her, and the essence of fieriness it emanated made it hard to breathe around it.
And that\'s without even counting into consideration the blazing aura it emanated, which seemed to burn like real fire to anyone except me, so Aquarina and Zack ended retreating back several meters while Ninhursag covered herself in mana to resist the fiery power… Ninhursag looked fascinated though, as if she had found a mine of gold all for herself.
"I-Incredible, Sylphy! This is the Red Dragon… you ate so long ago?!"
