Chapter 357 Moment
Somewhere in East Tivian in the dark of night.
In an unmanned park on a cold night, Nephnis stood in a magic circle drawn with mud in a pond, looking seriously at the mountain cat spirit floating in front of her, and then spoke to it.
"Let us begin, Master Soulbeard."
Listening to Nefernis's words, the wild spirit in the form of a mountain cat leaped twice in the air, then turned around and rushed into Nefernis's chest, possessing her body.
After being possessed by the soul whisker again, Nephnis couldn't help but shudder slightly, but then she quickly calmed down, closed her eyes, and began the ceremony.
Feeling the presence of the wilderness spirit in her body, Nephnis officially began her ascension ceremony. She followed the method taught in Davis's notebook and began to resonate with the soul in her body, allowing the influence of the alien spirit to spread throughout her body. While letting her body become the other party's body, she also suppressed the other party's will with her own will.
To be honest, this ritual made Soulbeard feel uncomfortable. It instinctively wanted to resist or directly leave Nefernis's body, but because it had already received Nefernis's tribute and made an agreement with her, it endured the discomfort and began to cooperate with Nefernis's actions.
Although the wild elves in the New World have different personalities, due to their long-term coexistence with the shamans, most of them have a strong sense of contract. As long as enough tribute is given, they will do the job.
"The underworld is deep and deep... death is endless... I am willing to use my body as a token... to lead death to it... I pray here, begging the truth of the other world, the great Akasha, to clear the clouds for me and show me the way..."
In this way, Nefernis's promotion reached a critical step. She prayed to Akka in her heart, asking him to lead the way for her. Not long after, Akka responded to her prayer and led the way for her.
At this moment, a cold wind blew across the scene of the altar. Capac, who was watching from the side, protected his eyes for a moment. When he lowered his hands from in front of his eyes, he saw Nefernis standing quietly in the magic circle.
When Nephnis opened her eyes again, what Capac saw was the vertical pupils in her eyes that did not seem to belong to human beings, and which exuded a captivating gaze.
At that moment, he seemed to see the figures of Nefernis and Soulxu overlapped together. Spirit-like cat ears grew on Nefernis' head, and a cat tail of the same shape floated behind her.
"What?"
Looking at this scene, Kapak rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong. After opening his eyes again, he saw Nefernis as usual, destroying the magic circle on the mud ground. The tail and ears of the spirit he had seen before seemed to have disappeared, which made Kapak doubt whether he had seen it wrong just now.
"Miss Thief, is your ritual over? Has Lord Soulbeard now been enhanced?"
Capac asked Nefernis, and after Nefernis had covered the magic circle, she slowly came over. She picked up a few iron coins on the ground, touched her chest, and smiled at Capac and responded.
"Yes...Now here, Master Hunxu's will is much stronger than outside.
"Pay attention to me, Mr. Capac. Now I will go find those guys..."
Nephthys said this, and then she walked quickly to the side. Her movements were so quiet and fast that Kapak, who was standing opposite her, didn't notice her. When Kapak realized that the person in front of him had disappeared and turned around to look for her, he saw Nephthys' figure appearing like a ghost in the distance.
"Hurry up..."
Seeing this scene, Capac murmured in shock, and then he immediately took small steps towards Nefernis, followed closely behind.
Just like that, Nefernis quickly ran out of the pond and the park, and walked quickly on the street in the cold night, with Kapak running behind her.
Although she was not a runner, Nefernis's speed was astonishingly fast. Capac, who was following behind her, was surprised to find that although he was jogging to catch up with Nefernis in front of him, he seemed unable to catch up. Not only that, the distance between them was even getting farther and farther.
'How come Miss Thief's power suddenly became so fast?'
Looking at Nefernis who seemed to be floating in the air in front of him, Capac thought to himself that in the past, when he and Nefernis were fighting, each other was far less physically fit than he was, and he often had to stop and wait for Nefernis to catch up. Even when he still had plenty of energy, Nefernis could hardly move. But now, the situation seemed to be reversed, and Capac himself needed to speed up to keep up with Nefernis.
"Huh... Is Miss Thief's ritual really to enhance Soulbeard's senses? Why does it feel more like Soulbeard possessed Miss Thief and then increased her physical strength? And it feels like when I was talking to Miss Thief just now, she gave people a completely different feeling than before."
While Capac was puzzled by the changes in Nefernis's body, Nefernis, who was running in front of him, was running faster and faster. She was running on the street at full speed, constantly looking around with sharp eyes, searching for her target in the darkness of the cold night with a searching attitude. When choosing a road at the intersection, she would lick her lips and sniff from time to time.
Just like that, Nephnis, who had just been promoted to a soul master and possessed by soul whiskers, traveled tirelessly and at high speed through the streets of Divian, hunting and tracking. Capac behind her had to work hard to catch up with her.
After tracking like this for a while, Nefernis came to the bank of a big river. Just as she continued to walk quickly along the river bank, she suddenly stopped and then turned her head to look at the river.
As if she sensed something, Nephnis climbed onto the railing of the riverbank like an animal. She stretched her neck and looked towards the other side of the river, and the pupils in her eyes once again stretched into slender vertical pupils.
"The other side of Yueliu River... turns out to be the Nancheng District..."
Looking at the lights on the other side of the river, Nephnis couldn't help but murmur that at this moment, she had already found the target she needed to look for.
…
Nantivian, Piazza del Sol.
Under the dark night sky, a bustling crowd gathered in the open square. Although the cold wind in the winter night was not cold, it still could not stop people's enthusiasm. Most of the people who came to this evening party held in the southern city were residents from the lower classes of the city. Such a free large-scale performance was a rare opportunity for them.
After the host's opening remarks, the party had officially begun. However, there were no actors performing on the stage because Princess Isabel was giving her brief speech at the time of the party.
"I am really happy... that so many people have gathered here today to spend the last night of the year with me. As I have always said before, Pritt is the common Pritt of Despenser and the people. Regardless of our identities, we are a family in the same country. On this night of family reunion, I would like to represent the royal family and be with you to welcome the new year like a real family.
"Come on, let's all enjoy this wonderful night together. We have prepared a mysterious surprise gift for everyone this evening, so please look forward to it."
On the balcony at the edge of the square, Princess Isabel, dressed in white, was surrounded by many bodyguards and spoke to the people on the square with a generous smile. Her words also aroused a fierce reaction from below. The crowd shouted the princess' name in response, and the enthusiastic cheers were higher and higher.
