Taming The Spirit
Taming The Spirit
—That's my name. My full name is Rosalie Antares, and this Arkanos' target is indeed me.
Rosalie admitted directly. This was a rare occurrence where his two spirits hated each other. Once again, he summoned a historic figure of the Ortis Continent.
'Stop, before I listen to your side story I want to hear from Arkanos side first. This is getting interesting,' Tang Shaoyang thought inwardly.
"Yes, Rosalie Antares, the Queen of the Pyrolis Kingdom. If you are on the Ortis Continent, you should know the Pyrolis Kingdom and its Queen… Wait, how could you not know her and her kingdom if you are in the Ortis Continent? Are you lying to me? Wait, but why would you lie to me? That makes no sense, at all," Arkanos was confused by himself.
There was no reason for the man who summoned him to lie. If the man lied, why would he pick up this place specifically? In the first place, the man should not know his background as well.
"I know the Pyrolis Kingdom and its Queen, Rosalie the Flame Queen? Are we talking about the same person?" Tang Shaoyang mentioned the name.
Arkanos then looked at Tang Shaoyang with a surprise, "If you know her, why would you sound confused when I mentioned her name?" This was the thing that confused Arkanos.
"I don't know her full name," Tang Shaoyang told Arkanos the truth, "But I don't think I would be able to help you,"
"What? Are you afraid of her? Don't tell me you are afraid of that cowardly bitch?" Arkanos raised his tone. The anger in his tone was so apparent.
"That's not it, because she is dead. How to kill a dead person? If you have a way to do it, then share it with me?" Tang Shaoyang shook his head.
"What!? How is that possible… Wait, has it been thousands of years? There was no way she would die just like that. Even though she is my enemy, I admit her prowess. I would say that she is the strongest person in that era, and she should be even stronger after those years. How could she die already?" Arkanos said in disbelief.
"She has a tragic end as well. Rosalie has to end her life rather than sleeping with a bunch of perverted old men," That was what Rosalie told him, but he conveyed it crudely. It did not matter since that was the truth.
"What do you mean? Why would she end her life? Sleeping with a bunch of old men?" The conversation confused Arkanos even more.
"Why don't you talk with her directly? She's now in my spiritual space. If you accept the contract then you can meet her," Tang Shaoyang grinned.
Arkanos looked at Tang Shaoyang dubiously. He did not trust Tang Shaoyang, "If you know about her, what's her hair color?" Afraid of getting tricked, the spirit wanted to confirm that his summoner was not lying to him.
"Easy, Red hair and eyes, and her body is smoky hot. That's why a bunch of old men are after her body. For the complete story, you can hear it from her by yourself if you want. More than that, I am actually interested in your past with Rosalie?" Tang Shaoyang was curious about the tales behind Arkanos' hatred of Rosalie.
More than that, Arkanos was Grade A+ Spirit while Rosalie was Grade A Spirit. Arkanos was stronger than Rosalie, so how could Rosalie defeat Arkanos. That was an interesting story for him.
"Then summon her. I want to see it with my own eyes to make sure you are not lying," Arkanos did not believe Tang Shaoyang. He was not going to believe a stranger's words for sure.
"Then let's make this quick. Let's have a fight instead. The reason I talk this out with you is so we can speed up the contract session. If you don't believe me then I just need to beat you," Tang Shaoyang lost his patience. He needed to go back to the Gigante Forest soon, he was not going to waste his time with the spirit.
On top of that, he was still in his Dragon Transformation. This should be quick for him to defeat Arkanos, "Come at me!" Tang Shaoyang motioned to the spirit to come at him.
Arkanos was not expecting the opposite party would take a hundred and eighty degrees to change all of sudden. They were talking amiably just now, now he wanted to fight. However, he could not refute his summoner's words either, "Since that's what you want. I am not going to be a liar's contracted spirit,"
As soon as he finished those words, Tang Shaoyang appeared in front of him with the battle-ax. He swung the battle-ax downward.
Arkanos flinched slightly at how fast the creature in front of him was. However, as someone who had been fighting for years, he adapted quickly. Three ice blades formed and crossed each other. The battle-ax was stopped by the ice blades. He then formed five more ice blades on the back of Tang Shaoyang. He was about to counter the attack but then a hand reached his neck. The hand was moving so fast that he could not react on time to this attack.
He was not flustered even though he was caught. He had succeeded in forming five ice blades. Arkanos just needed to control the blade to take the creature down, but then a great pain assaulted his neck gone through to his throat, "ARRRGGGHHHH!" All ice blades crumbled as Arkanos struggled from the grip.
[Slayer Touch]
Tang Shaoyang used that skill for Arkanos. Since the spirit was taller than him, he needed to activate [Sky Walk]. Only then he managed to bring the spirit up from the air. His feet were kicking the air as his hand tried to open the grip.
The reason he dared to use [Slayer Touch] was that he knew that the spirit he summoned could not be killed and the spirit also could not kill him. He was taming the spirit the hard way since Arkanos chose this for himself.
