Nese's soul wears thick gray armor that only exposes his eyes - that is not the clothing of his physical state, but part of the image of his soul.
He only has one normal hand - his left hand, holding a heavy hammer surrounded by golden light, which contrasts with the armor like a "warm corpse".
The hammer is also not a specific material weapon, but also a part of the spiritual body.
Where the right arm of the Warlock's soul should have been connected to his hand, a dark black square-patterned tower shield that was almost as wide and tall as his image grew directly from the wrist, with a translucent gemstone in the center - which was naturally part of his soul.
It can even be said that this tower shield is the focus of this type of soul.
He looked solid, strong, and majestic.
It's completely different from Nese's original temperament.
"Have you thought about it? This is a complete waste of talent for you." After taking a look, he understood what was going on.
"If you don't want to be a demon, there's nothing wrong with returning to human form. You know. The most suitable route for you is the gate seeker, and the planar scout can also be used. Considering your skills in transformation, any mage or warlock route will work. good."
"I've thought about it. Teacher." Nesai's voice was very soft. "I want to be a guardian. Your soul guardian. Please come to me and establish a link with me. Only in this way can I summon you back 100%."
protector. A creature of law.
Nesse chose this path...
He is appearing in the soul form of the "Guardian". Tower shields, heavy hammers and heavy armor are the hallmarks of this soul form.
"You plan to give it to me directly. This is a necessary condition for becoming a soul guardian. You plan to use this method to pull me back." Yi Cha said coldly.
"Yes, sensei. I think it's worth it."
"etc."
Yi Cha approached the crack, leaned on it, and sighed. "You have many choices, Veled. I just let you try it with the most common soul summoning spell. That's how you want to decide your fate. Guardians are creatures of law. All current research is based on the energy field. Yes, there is currently no stable way to freely transform law creatures. If you fix it, you may not be able to change it back for a long time - even I think it will be a long time. I hope you remember this."
"I remember. Teacher."
Icha stared into the warlock's eyes through the slit in Nesei's helmet, looking into his soul.
"I say it again, you have a lot of choices. When you squander your talent, remember that not all guys are so lucky to have so many choices like you. This is a huge waste."
Icha emphasized the words "extremely" and "wasteful."
"I remember that humans are very impulsive creatures. I think you who grew up on the main material plane should know better than me. Moreover, I think you obviously still retain human psychological characteristics. For example-"
He spread a hand, "Correct me if I'm wrong. You feel very grateful to me, or some other sentiment. Something like that. Anyway, you decided to protect me against your own talents and ambitions - by the way, I can see that you are ambitious. You have things you want to do - and there is nothing wrong with that. So regarding your choice I have to say that this is not appropriate. Fortunately, the connection has not been established yet, and you still have the opportunity to regret it."
Nesai's eyes flickered, and then he said, "I have made a decision. Teacher."
"Of course. Of course." Yi Cha laughed. "So I just said, it's an opportunity. Since you have appeared in front of me like this, of course I can see your determination. Of course, your determination must also be taken into account - the will is of course strong. So I didn't directly Drive you away. But I still have to ask you carefully, are you not impulsive? "
"I..." Nese muttered.
Yi Cha made a "stop" gesture and grinned.
"Yes. It seems that I need to add that don't feel embarrassed to admit it or regret it. I know that humans sometimes feel embarrassed to do this and that. It's time for you to learn not to be a person - if you want to. Especially in There is no need to hide yourself from me.
If it's just impulsive, that's okay. No one can blame you. The impulses of a human being in a lifetime - and I have to quote "Introduction to the Classification of Biology, Not Everything Can Be Eaten with the Head Off" - are more twitchy than two hundred frog legs in a month. So don't be embarrassed. You're just withdrawing a twitch. Have you figured it out? "
Icha raised three fingers.
"One, two, three. Now tell me your decision."
Nesse was silent for a while.
"Teacher. I've thought about it."
The air becomes heavy.
This guy is really ready for everything, even though it's a bit difficult. To check.
Nese slowly raised the heavy hammer in his left hand.
chant devoutly
"Disturbing the reality behind the elephants, the laws of the stars, watching the peeling eyes of the cycle of life and death. All laws. Laws. Feasible provisions. Reasonable breaking. Please let a tiny part of you temporarily run in my soul. "
His gaze shone through the slits in the dim armor.
"I will protect you with my soul and the laws of truth. Izaint Sinkardestu."
Words become sacred.
The void fluctuates.
As the last word fell, the golden light on the heavy hammer began to surround Nese's body.
After the outline was completed, the golden light flowed to the dark tower shield.
In an instant, all the lines on the tower shield began to shine. The brilliance drew a beautiful arc and gathered on the translucent gem, forming a dazzling bunch.
Nese gently turned the Soul Tower Shield, which represented protection, and directed the beam towards Icha - the two souls were illuminated by the light from the center.
"It's your turn, teacher," he said in a barely audible pious voice.
"That's it..."
Icha stretched a hand between the beams of light connecting them and observed that his fingers turned golden.
Interesting phenomenon.
"You just have to approve and the link will be completed," Niese said.
"I refuse. You go back."
A moment of shock.
"teacher!"
Nese's eyes were glazed over. The voice was urgent. "You told me to make the decision!"
"I said it. I also heard your decision. But now it's my turn." Yicha stretched his hand through the slit and felt the coolness. He touched Nese's armor - it really looked like That's what happened. “I don’t like things happening where talent is wasted.”
"My decision is to refuse." He smiled, "But I understand your determination. I have to say that human beings really have many sides. I saw another side of you - there is nothing wrong with it. If you really want to If you take this path, there will be something to protect you - I immediately thought of two things worth protecting."
"I just want to protect you! I have no other guarantee of bringing you back!" Nesai said excitedly.
"Okay. You hesitated just now, didn't you? It means you also realize that this is a waste."
Icha patted his helmet thoughtfully.
"Go back. In order to comfort your feeling that you are still human, I think it's best for me to say, don't worry. It's okay if this doesn't work. I will go back to you. All problems will be solved. Or something."
"I won't leave!" Nese grabbed his hand.
Yi Cha drew out the bright red whip with his other hand, circled it in the air, and struck him as fast as lightning.
The long whip struck sharply.
The armor-clad soul shrank slightly and disappeared helplessly.
As his figure disappeared, the small connected plane they were in also disappeared.
