Chapter: 568
“Yes. Free their soul.”
“Sure thing” he nodded.
Jay took the soul stone out, but before he went to smash it, he had an idea. He used his mana sense ability and concentrated it around the soul stone in his hand.
Next, he equipped one of his hammers and smashed it down while maintaining his concentration.
A crack in the stone let something out. It wasn’t visible but he could feel it.
It was tangible and almost acted like a bubble, trying to push to the surface of Jay’s mana and escape, but Jay just added more mana and pushed it back down.
“So this is a soul…” he thought, squinting as if he was trying to see anything.
Somehow, the soul became stronger as it pushed back against his mana. It seemed that the more mana he added to block it, the stronger it got.
[Soul Sense level 1 – Acquired]
Jay ignored the notification and continued to try to trap it, but his mana was burning away like paper at this point, and he couldn’t do anything to keep it contained any longer.
Jay felt light-headed as his mana got low and lost concentration for a moment. This was the opportunity the soul needed.
The soul suddenly shot off somewhere out of his mana sense range. All the pressure it built up against Jays mana had suddenly propelled it away at a high speed when the mana-wall went down.
“Hmm. Well, that won’t happen again for a while, but at least I got something out of it.” he thought as he went to check his notification.
Jay was surprised how he still didn’t have a mana sense skill after all his practice, yet he picked up this new skill on the first attempt.
[Soul Sense]
– Grasp the intangible
– Offend life and death at your own risk
“Hmm… I really shouldn’t mess around with this.”
“It’s odd how it’s called ‘sense’ even though I literally restrained a soul.” Jay thought before Sedulus spoke.
“Young one, you have done well.” Sedulus held out her hand as Jay received a notification.
[Complete quest?]
[Yes/No]
Jay immediately selected ‘yes.’, his eyes glowing with anticipation.
