Burning Soul - Chapter 176

“We are going to first see your vessel!” This took Theo by surprise, but right now he had no time to question the unknown.

He assumed it’d just be something related to his body and nodded in agreement.

“Why would we do that, I mean don’t we just need to look into his spiritual energy and see if it’s tampered with or anything!” Catherine who understood it better questioned though.

“Yeah, that’d save time.

But, we need to know what we are dealing with here.

He ain’t just your everyday person, right? Interactions with demonic creatures, sigils from gods and stuff that would baffle normal beings.

It’s better we take a look at him right now and while we are at it, we can also check on his growth.” She explained.

It indeed was still a mystery why a lot of powerful beings got involved with him, if it’s just his journey it wasn’t an issue but if it was due to his existence, that was something no one could tell.

And it had been a while since he checked on his growth. After he returned from that training with Lumiere, he didn’t get a level check. It usually took just a wizard and a simple lookup spell, but with a person this capable of using the spell, the results would be a lot more detailed.

“I understand, even I want to know what is going on inside on him!” Although Catherine had a fair bit of idea, it wouldn’t hurt to get a detailed inspection by someone really capable.

“Okay then, first we’ll do the check-up!

I feel like a medic saying so. This wouldn’t hurt a bit so relax your body and standstill.” Amara helped Theo get in the position for the spell to work best.

She then activated the crystal by pouring a bit of her own Mana and proceeded to cast the spell.

A soft glow from the circle started to accumulate at the centre of it where Theo stood, it soon engulfed him and people could see him glow, just like a firefly.

“That’s dramatic!” Milot who stood on another side to avoid getting scolded commented.

The spell was a rather simple incantation, she then stretched her arms forward and there appeared a flame from which a parchment formed.

All this time Theo kept his eyes shut and stood quiet.

The parchment was the start as it only spoke the level the person was going to be at. The real spell started now, she then continued with the chant.

Everyone looked in awe as they had never seen any wizard casting such intricate spell,

“Ihitas” They only heard her say this one work out loud at the end of her spell.

As she finished, a sudden glow started to take form around Theo and it kept getting larger until it had everyone engulfed within.

“Women!” Milot who was just as surprised by it, shouted as he covered his eyes

A few moments later, they could open their eyes.

.

.

…

To everyone’s surprise, they were inside an orb.

“I had known about such spell being out there, but it’s my first time seeing it with my own eyes!” One of the wizards circling the magic circle commented.

It wasn’t a piece of news as being able to cast multiple spells was already a pain and that too at such depth, only legends could pull it off.

“What is that!” Catherine’s word startled them, she was pointing towards Theo who stood at the middle of this all.

There were different flows surrounding him.

“Lifeforce!” Amara was just as amazed to look at it, “Though I’ve never seen one with such complexity!”

There were three to be exact flows, one had a golden halo to it and looked like it was sparkling. It looked like sparkling water, the exciting flow of lie force it was, the other one was moving extremely slow and looked calm and had a pure white glow to it. The third one really intrigued them; it had no colour. It was extremely fast and violent and looked agitated for some reason.

“What were we expecting?” Catherine read her expression that spoke something wasn’t as she thought it to be.

“Two,

Two flows are the maximum I’ve known to have existed in people, at least Mortals!

These are four” She said,

‘Four! But there are only three.’ Catherine took a look again.

There indeed was a fourth flow, an extremely weak and disturbed one, it was twisting and warping just near the dark one. It was as if it was hiding within the chaos of the dark flow.

“What is the meaning of all this?” She questioned her.

“As far as I know, the White halo is the natural flow that every mortal has.

The golden Halo must be because of the Sigil, it is extremely pure spiritual flow.

Now for the other two, I’m not so sure of myself. The dark one must be related to all the encounters with hell. But what’s with that warping one.”

“Not only that, will you look at the amount of the energy flowing? It looks like endless to me.” Catherine pointed out abnormality about the Dark flow. It indeed looked endless.

Up until now, there wasn’t any clue as to how Theo was able to access forbidden spells and even use that absurd magic a while ago. Indeed, it had something to do with those two abnormal-looking life forces.

“Not only that, but the godly life force also seems abnormal. I’ve seen such a life force in Duvrion, and I’m sure those who are blessed with Spirits are pretty much the same, but this much life force?

Something is off here!” Amara twitched at her words.

Others were just standing aloof, for them, this was a whole new scenery.

“He has an aptitude for light and dark magic that’s for sure, not to mention he as blessings of spirits which may be due to Himari. Also, his mortal life force is quite strong, quite rare. But other than that, I can’t make sense of anything.

For example, what is this twisted life force doing here, what it’s for? Where all this dark force is getting poured into him. And why can’t I see the whole vessel?”

By the whole vessel, Amara meant the entirety of Theo’s mana pool. Each being is born with a limit of how much Mana essence it can hold at any given time. Wizards have the largest mana pool and that explains the insane magic spells they can pull.

But Theo wasn’t a Wizard, by a class he was a Swordsman but with such an abundant mana pool, he could cast any magic he wanted. That is what baffled Amara.

“What else can you tell?” Milot asked from across the magic circle.

“He’s sure ready to ascend to Legend rank. And he has magic traits that’d make legends feel jealous.

For starters as I said he had traits for Light Magic and Dark Magic at the same time, but he has traits of all four basic elemental magic and I don’t know how!

How come he is not a Wizard class with all these blows and whistles? His class is Swordsman? That’s crap!” She was surely pissed at the fact that Theo wasn’t a wizard class even with such features.

“Other than that, I guess there isn’t much we can see thanks to these two scary life forces, let’s leave them untouched!” She added in the fact that she didn’t want to tinker with life forces.

“What four forces are you talking about, isn’t there like 6 of them?” Milot casually spoke.

“Six?” Both Catherine and Amara exclaimed at the same time,

“Yeah, try looking again, there are two more, they are faint, but they are there!” He added as he casually waked up to Theo and pointed at two extremely fragile-looking life forces.

“This has to be related to that spirit he was talking about, and the heavenly flow has to be related to that dragon pet he has. Remember they are connected through life force because of the Sigil?

She’s hurt and all, so that might be why this force is strong and if you look carefully, it’s not pouring mana in but kid of sucking it out, while the Dark life force is pouring it in. It’s like he’s getting a refill for what he’s losing.” Hearing his explanation, both stood in a daze.

“How…”

“My mother taught me a lot of things about life forces, she used to say the brighter the force, the more blessed the person is, but if it’s dark, he’s someone to be wary of.

I think it’s because we only see the dark life force in the hellish creatures, but that too is never this pure.

Do you remember what his bloodline is?” He made a question.

“I don’t know for sure, but I overheard Lumiere saying it’s something related to Demonic bloodline,” Catherine remembered Lumiere’s comment from the time when Theo killed that demonized bear in the wild a long time ago.

“That explains the Dark nature of the flow but still this purity is something off.” Milot rubbed his temples.

“That aside, if he has such a weak connection to the spirit realm, how can we see what’s going on in there and how we can figure out why Himari hasn’t been answering to him?” Catherine questions Amara.

“There’s only one explanation if that’s the case!” She turned to her,

“Slumber”
