Chapter 241 - A Strange Confusing Situation
Arthur's consciousness entered with another wisp of his energy inside her body to be startled by what he saw down deep her soul.
Before entering, he knew that this girl was a princess, coming from a lost destroyed civilization, trapped here with her father for a long time before her father was killed.
Her own strength was like him, turning into the monster pictured clearly in the statues inside this village, and the cursed soul that wanted to take control of her body and shatter her soul was that on the huge winged ferocious tiger.
However, when he entered there, he found a completely different situation! The soul of this girl took the shape of a tiger, while the wicked soul trying to crush hers took the shape of that hideous monster!
Arthur examined closely, not hurrying to interfere at once, better assessing this weird situation. 'What's going on here?' he muttered as the more he focused, the more shocked he became!
After five minutes of watching, he realized the strange truth! this girl wasn't the princess of the long lost civilization, she was the daughter of this world, and her ability was to turn into that deformed hideous dark monster pictured into the statues all over here!
The statues didn't show up any broken or wounded monsters, as these monsters were already marred, born with this curse of being so ugly and disfigured!
As for the tiger soul, it was pure white, brimming with light energy all over, making a clear contrast of the darkness here; and the most bizarre shocking thing was that this soul was the one trying to force itself here, trying to kill this dark soul and control the body!
'This is really weird!' he muttered to himself, however he knew what he should do! No matter who was invading whom, the light should prevail and darkness should be vanquished!
Gaining more allies was much better than gaining more enemies. as such he didn't delay, as he controlled all his channeled energy for all this time, injecting it all inside the body of this young girl, directly smashing the darkness soul!
"How dare you interfere with my trophy!" the hideous sound of that old hag appeared again, coming from the soul of this girl, the dark hideous monster!
Arthur didn't bother to reply, as he started using his energy, forming a mighty huge dragon inside, formed of a small part white and a larger part dark, joining hand in hand with the winged tiger to ferociously attack this sinister dark soul!
"Curse you all, curse you a traitorous son of dragonairs!" the old hag kept cursing while screaming out in pain, as each passing minute large part of her soul was shattered, turning into nothing under the combined attack of both.
After half an hour, after a long battle they both managed to clearly kill the old hag completely, shattering her last speck of soul, making her die forever.
The next moment, the extremely weakened light winged tiger soul went to take her place in the centre of this body, finally controlling the body, finally winning this adversary battle!
And she opened her eyes, at the same time Arthur did.
"Thank you my lord for your benevolence. If not for your intervention there, I would have been consumed by this dark monster."
The next moment she stood up, knelt to the ground, while speaking out in a sincere tone. Arthur just glanced at her, with head full of puzzled questions, before waving his hand to her as he said:
"It's alright, after all I'm the enemy of these dark warriors," he then shifted his glance to the distance, where the ice breaths of Tina kept falling heavily over the strong defensive shield. "It will take some time for the shield to be broken," he muttered.
"It's a high grade shield formed of many smaller ones. It will take at least a day for her to be able to break it," the girl said, while adding, "If we two joined hands with her, then we can break it in much less time than that."
Arthur then glanced at her, as he wasn't in a hurry to break down this shield. "Who are you? And what just happened here?" he asked, as these were the two main questions he had in mind right now.
"My name has long been forgotten by my long sleeping soul. I was once a mighty warrior, controlling a huge clan here, and this is my home, the home of me, the home of ancestors, the home of the upcoming generation," she said without raising her bowed head and her knelt body.
"I think the later generations were weak, being conquered by these alien monsters. I was sleeping when a summoning occurred, and I was forced to enter this sinister's soul body; forced to a battle I never wanted, about to be dead however you managed to save me."
"Stand straight and tell me if you are so old and don't know a thing about this world, how do you know this shield's strength and composition," Arthur said, while expressing his own doubts.
"I have part of this old hag memory while fighting with her, and if my lord allowed me time to recuperate, I will gain access to all of her memories, telling you everything you want to know in detail," she said, while she was acting modest and humble.
"Sure, go ahead and strengthen your soul," Arthur said before waving his hand, and a huge pile of meat appeared suddenly beside the two. "Eat these and you will regain much of your former strength in a short time," he said.
"Thanks for my lord's generosity, I will start recuperating now," she replied with her own courtesy words before getting to the meat, grabbing one in obvious doubt, before eating one slowly in a small bite.
The next moment her eyes shone brightly, and the small bite turned to a gulping action, where she stuffed all the meat she could reach with both of her hands, directly filling her small mouth, making Arthur chuckle.
