I could feel myself falling slowly as I realized that my consciousness had gone to sleep.My body was unresponsive as it needed time to heal, and this made me very uncomfortable.While I have escaped the pursuit of those Orcs, that didn't mean I was safe in any circumstance!I wasn't sure if the gathering of the ten legacies will shield me from the Night Elves passively or if I would need to activate all of them together.That was a problem that made me mutter to myself as I looked at the darkness that surrounded me.Was this my mindscape?Every time I entered this type of realm I would use Shuria's mindscape, so I was never in my own until now because I didn't have time to enter such a deep meditative trance that was almost like sleep.But in this situation, it was truly sleeping.My body needed the extra healing factor from sleeping as it used too much energy to keep itself alive after I severed my own neck.As I looked around the place started to light up, showing memories, techniq
After stomping onto my desire to taste Night Elf flesh once again, then I looked in the opposite direction, where the patrol went.The location of the 11th legacy wasn't very close, but Alliron did his best to put the legacies far apart from each other while being within the boundaries of the elven forest at the same time.This was most likely so his fellow elves couldn't get their hands on his legacies, meaning that he wasn't on good terms with them.I scratched my chin as I traveled forward into the forest, everywhere around me were trees, trees, and more trees.They were all vibrant and full of life, and the leaves were a green so beautiful that it would take your attention for quite a bit of time.The flowers were blooming, and the fruits that hung from the branches of some trees were plump and looked quite delicious.It was a paradise on earth.But even though it looked like paradise, that didn't mean it was one.I could sense multiple beings with hostile intent roaming these woo
Being annoyed was my last worry as I waited for the squirrel to start moving once again.However, the little annoying thing didn't want to budge in any shape or form!It was moving so slowly that it made me want to break out of my meditation and snatch it, but I knew that I would fall for its trap if I did that.It wanted me to break my meditation so it could run back into the withered tree trunk.But I knew that it was forced to move as long as I was meditating!I sat under the withered tree, and time passed slowly, I checked my internal clock from time to time as the sun that shined above the elven forest cast down and night came.Crickets started to sing as they could be heard almost everywhere in the forest, boosting my concentration and improving my meditation, making the squirrel's small nose twitch in annoyance.I knew that the closer the squirrel got into my range, the slower it made itself to extend its lifespan, but I continued to wait.Time passed once again, and the sun re
The lava pool below was creating toxic fumes that made my nose twitch as the smell of sulfur intensified in my nose.I couldn't help but let out a slight cough as I slowly descended along the earthen path to reach the twinkling down below.As I made my way down, I used the wall near the path to support my body as I felt that it was getting weaker and weaker the more I was descending, this place was robbing me of my oxygen!Normally I wouldn't need oxygen to breathe, but that was only because my body was absorbing and storing it inside, meaning that I could have oxygen for a long amount of time, combined with my body's lower needs for oxygen made me able to almost ignored the need of oxygen in most circumstances, but that didn't mean I didn't need it anymore!I still needed oxygen to live, but this damned place was robbing me of the one I saved!My danger senses were never wrong...What I needed to do now was quickly get the legacy and get the hell out of here before I lost the moistur
After securing the 12th legacy, it was time to move on to the 13th. Its location was getting increasingly closer to the radius where the world tree's presence could be felt quite strongly, which gave me some doubts about the ability of the illusory shield that surrounded me. Would it be able to withstand the world tree's influence?The World Tree's strength was something that I couldn't fathom with my current senses, however, from what I could see right now, its consciousness was hibernating.Atleast I couldn't feel the eyes of an overwhelmingly powerful being trying to scan the area for me. After all, I was still near a historical site that should be considered a shame for the world tree and its subordinates.However, besides the wisps of the forest, there was no extra surveillance put in this location, maybe the wisps themselves were good enough, so they didn't bother adding more?Well, that was good, since they put their best surveillance in this 'important' area, which meant tha
After getting my hands on the 14th legacy, I could feel my hands itch as I realized that the items that held the legacy pieces were passively helping me to increase my soul strength.Before the 13th piece, the passive increase wasn't noticeable because it was extremely small, but after gaining the 13th legacy, the passive increase had skyrocketed up to 100x more than the minuscule amount from before!Of course, a small amount increased by 100x still couldn't be considered too high, but since it became noticeable, then it meant that the progress was extremely high, considering that my current soul strength was inching closer and closer to entering balance with my bodily strength.This was another benefit from the legacy that made me glad I hunted for it and even offended these three Orcs for it!It doesn't matter that they hate me now, because, in the end, I would be the last one standing!I charged out of the cave after I analyzed and searched through every nook and cranny, making sur
I tried to confirm my theory and closed my eyes as a purple aura started to engulf my body. I could feel my surroundings stop to a standstill as the whole area around me started to crack.I took one step forward and the cracks exploded into pieces, then I looked at my surroundings, and I noticed that nothing changed.It was hard to understand how skipping time worked, this was a theory beyond my understanding with the current soul power I possessed, but I think I was able to use the technique successfully.There was no one around me to confirm that I had skipped time, and it was hard to notice how the movements were changing by myself.I tried to do another experiment as I closed my eyes for a brief second as everything around me entered a standstill once more, I extracted energy from my body and inserted it into my eyes as I concentrated on combining my physical sight and soul sight to catch a glimpse of a speedy figure moving through the air.That speedy figure was colored blood red
To get the 14th legacy, I had to employ some extreme methods. I couldn't help but look down at my limp body, which still had its eyes open as I shook my head and closed my soul's eyes.Slowly, the purple aura came to life around my soul as everything around me stood at a standstill. The red feathery tail became visible in my soul's senses as I was finally able to catch a glimpse of the bird's whole body.It was a red parrot!The parrot was moving around haphazardly in circles inside the house we were in, there was nothing that could be seen in its dull green eyes, and it felt like all he was doing was on autopilot.There was nothing to be said as I lounged towards him in my soul form, grabbing the feathery tail as the time around me started to move once again, my soul body started to move in circles with the parrot as the speed was so high that I could feel cracks appearing on my soul, but as soon as the cracks appeared, they mended by themselves.The parrot continued to move for a fe
