Chapter 269 The Knowledge of a Tiny Soul

Then, there was the soul and impose pressure transformed by The Giant Dragon impose pressure. The power of the will poured into Abel’s brain. This would instantly wipe out the opponent’s intelligence on the power of the will. The Giant Dragon was known as the most advanced life form. Their imposed pressure can suppress almost any other life-especially when purely in terms of the power of will. When there was no defense, the Impose Pressure of The Giant dragon was invincible.

Lastly and most importantly, a pure soul was required to consume another power of the will without being affected themselves. Abel’s weak little soul matches these criteria well. Though it inherently has no intelligence, through the countless soul potions, it had grown similar to a proper soul, though still incomparable to a real soul. Therefore it was able to grow and flourish after swallowing the power of the will with no side effects.

Abel’s weak little soul had become a druid’s soul, one that had absorbed an official druid, and had inherited their summons.

Abel slowly opened his eyes, feeling the summons next to him. Carrie was next to him, blocking him. Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Albert stared back at him with playful eyes. Further away were the druids who attended the banquet.

“Your royal highness! Grand Duke Edwina, Grand Duke Albert!” said Abel, bowing, before checking his own wellbeing.

“Greetings. All the druids here have benefited from you, and will continue in the future,” said Grand Duke Edwina, waving her hand. After looking around, she said: “I hope everything that has happened today will stay in this room. After all, Alchemist Bennet was the only one who could make the elven perfumes!”

“Do not worry, your royal highness!” The druids were no idiots. An alchemist that had significant benefits to their training must be given respect. There was no reason to backstab Abel, and as the ones who are benefitting from him, they should be trying to protect him.

“Bennet, you have shown me more than I had hoped, congratulations!” After waving her hand, Merlin’s monster portal bag flew into her hand, which she threw to Abel. “Keep the summons in here. They are draining the appetite of our guests!”

As soon as Abel tried to communicate with the summons, asking them to enter the bag, all of them jumped into the monster portal bag.

With a flick of her wrist, the green wall that separated the noble and druid had disappeared. Two guards had picked up Merlin by his shoulders, dragging him out of the banquet hall. It was likely Merlin would be living the rest of his life like that, though the Grand Ducal Palace would keep him alive.

“Everyone, there was a small complication which had been settled. May the banquet commence!” Grand Duke Edwina said to all the elves in the hall with a smile.

The elves in the banquet hall knew not to discuss what had happened. This was a buffet. The table had been filled with dishes full of food. In an environment like this, socializing had been put before eating.

Some nobles that hadn’t seen each other in a long time had formed circles of discussion. The druids had also started sharing their stories. All of a sudden, it was as though nothing had happened.

“Follow me!” Grand Duke Edwina told Abel.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness!” Abel said with a bow, entering a room by the banquet hall, trailing behind Grand Duke Edwina.

“There aren’t other elves here. I’ll just refer to you by your name, Abel. I don’t care how you got the power of the official druid, but I hope you can try and control the power of the druids,” Grand Duke Edwina said to Abel

“Your Royal Majesty!”

As Abel said that, he was interrupted by Grand Duke Edwina. “Forget the formalities here. You, humans, have the formalities down pat, though privately you can call me Grand Duke Edwina.”

“Yes, Grand Duke Edwina. I can learn everything a druid can?” Abel said with a questioning tone, knowing that Druid training was unique to elves, and could be passed on onto outsiders.

“Abel, you’re different. Because of Loraine, you could call us family. It should be fine as long as you avoid casting druid spells as a human. You already have low level and basic druid summons. You’re already past the first barrier. Now all you need to do was to learn a few summoning spells, and you would be able to create summons anytime.” Grand Duke Edwina said with a smile.

“Grand Duke Edwina, I’m not familiar with Druid. What happens when my summons die?” Abel asked with a hint of concern.

“Summons don’t actually die. When they receive lethal damage, they are sent back into the summoning dimension. They can be summoned again after resting!” replied Grand Duke Edwina.

“If the summons can go back to the summoning dimension, what’s the point of the monster portal bag?” Abel questioned. “Summoning requires time and mana. And when you let it return to the summoning dimension, it loses all combat experience. Despite it being the same summon, you’ll need to retrain it. ” Grand Duke Edwina replied patiently.

“Abel had now understood that druid summons and the summons from sacrifices are different. Druid summoned soul beasts from the summoning dimension, whereas a sacrifice should be better understood as obtaining a skeleton from a corpse.

When a druid summoned, it was as though wiping their summons’ memory, getting a fresh new summon the next time they do so. On the other hand, a deity could just put away their summon skeleton for the next combat without affecting its abilities.

“As for druid training, I’ll get Carrie to help you!” Grand Duke Edwina said as she left the room, leaving Abel to himself.

Abel grew depressed as he heard Carrie would be his mentor. The way Carrie spoke would make his learning experience torturous. However, he understood Grand Duke Edwina’s decision. To teach a level 3 elf the basics of druid, any druid teacher would immediately know that he wasn’t even a druid. Assigning her trustworthy daughter was the most logical decision.

Abel hadn’t left immediately. Although the banquet was meant for him, it was only a gathering. His existence barely mattered.

After sitting down, he started a self-assessment. Using the power of will, he checked the main soul, which had no change. Afterward, he checked the weak little soul. After consuming the power of the will, the weak little soul had become a whole druid soul.

Abel could access druid spells through the weak little soul, now known as the druid soul. Inside the soul was 4 runes representing 4 different summons. Through the activation of the power of the will, he can summon them out from the monster portal bag. But resummoning them after they receive lethal damage was still a mystery to him.

Through the force of habit, Abel checked the skill tree within Horadric Cube as he wandered off with his thoughts. To his surprise, four other signs had shown up, corresponding to the 4 different summoning spells of the druids that were now part of the spells under his control.
