Chapter 372: The Practice Trial... Part-4.
Prototype S16ir112, Floor-9.
"So, I just gotta sit here and do nothing then?"
Hearing Lia's question, Kai nodded his head and his big cat eyes had a look of concern in them.
[Yes, don't move from here, not even a single inch... You are standing on a massive trap right now...]
[The moment you moved, the tile on the floor will sense it and you are dead...]
The very moment Lia teleported to this place, she was already standing in a giant closed
room.
Although the room was bright and beautiful looking, it had no exit, moreover she was already standing on a trap.
Fortunately Kai appeared on time and alerted her of it's danger or she would have been dead by now.
"So, how do we escape this now?"
[We don't... This is a trap meant to injure SS-rankers... The moment we tried anything, you are as good as dead...]
[This place... It's giving me a very ominous vibe... It's very dangerous...]
[The walls of this room are several meters thick and are made up of legendary items like mithril and adamantine...]
[I have never seen a place with this insane level of security...Even if I was in my prime... I wouldn't have been able to do much damage to these walls either...]
Hearing Kai's word's, Lia felt quite helpless, if even Kai is unable to deal with this situation then it means she has really gotten herself in great trouble.
"Ugh... I don't wanna die yet, I still wanna go on so many adventures with him... Sigh~"
Kai shook his head at Lia's words and replied in a calm voice.
[Well it's not really set in stone that you will die here, maybe you can turn into an evil spirit and haunt him forever?]
"Noo~ Evil spirit's are very weak to sword intent, he will easily get rid of me..."
[Well I was just joking, to turn into an evil spirit you would need immense amount of resentment and hatred in your heart... You don't have that...]
"Yeah... I can't resent or hate him... How will I even turn into an evil spirit..."
[Oh, but you can definitely turn into a divine spirit like me if you get acknowledged by the world...]
"That sounds shady..."
[Yeah, once you become a divine spirit you can't die... And you can't exist without a mortal master...]
[It's a shady deal of course... No one should try to live an eternal life, it's more of a curse than a blessing...]
"If I became immortal, i would have to see Rio die from old age... Ugh, I don't want that either, I wanna get old with him and die together..."
"I will wish to be buried together with him..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
[You have quite the strange dream...]
"Forget it... Enough of the idle chit-chat and tell me seriously if we really have no chance getting out of here..."
Kai contemplated for a bit and then replied in a solemn tone.
"There are two possible solutions... Either we wait for the two SS-rankers who came with you to find you... Or we do the spirit switch..."
Lia already knew the chances of the SS-rankers finding her here are very slim as the walls will block even their mana detection abilities.
They will need to search and destroy the walls of every room on every floor one by one to find her eventually.
"What is this spirit switch?"
[It's a forbidden technique that only Divine Spirit's like me who has reached rank SS before can use...]
[I am a spirit beast so I have no actual weight, I will not trigger these traps even if I move around...]
[Also I can easily pass through the walls as I don't have a physical body...]
[Once outside the room, I can switch my position to yours using this forbidden technique called spirit switch...]
"Oh? This technique sounds quite useful and good, why is it referred to as a forbidden technique then?"
Hearing Lia's confused tone, Kai replied in a very serious tone.
[The thing is that to pull this off... The master of the spirit and the spirit, both needs to establish a momentary soul-link...]
[In that state, both you and I will not only be able to access each other's memories, we will even be able to damage each other's soul if we want to...]
[Unless you trust the each other to the extreme level, using this technique is very
dangerous...]
[Just one bad move and you will end up getting your soul destroyed on the spot...]
Not just Lia, even Kai will be in a mortal danger at that moment, if Lia wills it, she can destroy his soul and can kill him permanently.
Using this technique is a gamble of life, not only are you sharing your memories with the
other party, you are even putting your life in their palm.
Right now, Lia has two options and as the first one was quite unreliable, it was easy for Lia to make a decision.
Lia stared into Kai's big cat eyes and smirked.
"So, what do you say comrade? Shall we gamble our life then?"
During the supreme talent competition, Lia had already completely accepted Kai as a part of
her own power, now there's no need to hesitate.
After Rio, Kai is the one who Lia trusts the most.
"If I die stuck in this place then Selain will definitely try to get Rio on her side... I can't let her
do that, hehe..."
Kai also nodded his head and said,
[I myself don't want to get stuck in this place for a long time either... So let's do this...]
Kai's body started to glow brightly with silver light and Lia's hair and pupils turned Silver as she used her spirit magic.
The two of them focused on their connection as master and servant and shared a link between each other's soul using that connection as a medium.
Strange memories of Kai's past flowed into Lia's mind, although most of them were just him fight along side his former master.
A few were about him spending time in a dark forest as a young lion cub.
She then saw that Kai established a connection with the world and got acknowledged at the
verge of his death.
Lia saw a ton of his memories in that few seconds of time.
Same was true for Kai.
He saw how Lia had worked hard to collect a massive forbidden collection of Rio's images
that she took secretly.
Seeing those memories he couldn't help but feel awkward.
In the end he ignored the memories and ran outside the room. He passed through the thick
wall and arrived at a corridor.
[Now's the time kiddo! Use the skill!]
Lia who was still immersed in seeing those memories immediately came back to her senses
after hearing Kai's voice in her head.
[Divine Spirit's Blessing: Forbidden technique: Spirit Switch!]
Lia felt a sensation of weightlessness similar to the sensation you get when you pass through
a portal or enter a dungeon.
And after a few milliseconds she found herself standing in a corridor.
*BOOM*
When Lia suddenly disappeared, the traps got triggered and massive spears came flying from
all directions to hit the spot where Lia was standing originally.
Thankfully, she wasn't there anymore or she would have been dead.
Kai also easily avoided the spears as they passed right through his spiritual body and then he
also came to the corridor and jumped on Lia's shoulder before saying.
[Mission complete, comrade...]
A smirk appeared on Lia's face after hearing those words.
"Beautifully done!"
"By the way, why did you terminate the soul link?"
"I was having a lot of fun watching how you used to play around happily as a silly and young
lion cub in the vast grasslands..."
Kai shook his head and replied in an exhausted tone,
[There's no need for it anymore, we have already shared the sould link once and we can use
soul switch without it from now on...]
[We just need the soul link to activate it for the first time...]
Kai didn't say that he was in a hurry to break the soul link because he was being bombarded by
Lia's memories of stalking Rio endlessly.
He was feeling embarrassed in his mind thinking that his master is such a shady person.
'This woman is crazy...'
That day Kai decided to never offend Lia as he knew how crazy she can be at times.
'Fortunately the guy she fell in love with is that absurdly powerful guy...'
'If it was someone with a weak mind, they would have been creeped out after seeing her
room's walls that are filled with the images of him...'
Kai shook his head and calmed himself before saying, [Let's go, we can use spirit switch to bypass all traps from here onwards...]
[Maybe we can even rescue your beloved boyfriend when we are at it...] "Oh? You mean that with spirit switch I can have another person teleport with me too?"
[Yes... Don't underestimate me, I am a divine spirit general afterall...]
"Well then, let's goo~"
Lia was already feeling excited thinking how Rio's expression would be like when she rescues
him from the various traps.
He will definitely be fascinated by her abilities and will fall head over heels for her all over
again.
'hehe, this time it's my turn to tease you next!'
