“Lord Raphael,” Tina raised her hands above her head, even though she didn’t know why she was doing that. “I, Tina, am willing to fight for you!”
Her fingers touched the cold, heavy sword blade.
A surge of heat coiled along her limbs, wrapping around joints and bones, flowing into her blood vessels, and eventually spreading from her violently pumping heart to every corner of her body.
[Information Change]
Individual Name: Tina
Position: None
Loyalty: 92
Seeing Tina take the sword and stand up, Raphael finally sighed in relief.
‘So this is how you change your identity? Pretty easy.’
‘Finally got another thing done.’
Raphael stepped closer and looked at Tina.
“Tina, I have another gift for you.”
The Magic Silver Soft Armor was currently stored in Raphael’s Heterospace.
“G…gift…” Tina murmured, shyly lowering her head, turning back into that timid young girl.
The next second, an exquisite set of clothes appeared in her slightly blurry vision from the heat.
“What is this?”
“Magic Silver Soft Armor.”
Tina was somewhat incredulous. “Soft armor?”
Although it was very beautiful and she was deeply moved, she couldn’t see any element of armor in it.
“Right,” Raphael noticed the doubt in Tina’s eyes and smiled.
“Why not try it on?”
“Um…” Tina put away the sword and took the soft armor.
It felt soft, the fabric as delicate as silk. Even more comfortable than the luxurious coat of Raphael’s that Tina was currently wearing.
When unfolded, the silver-gray fabric automatically stretched into a well-tailored long dress, with no sign of armor at all.
Raphael reached out and took the coat that Tina, after much hesitation, tremblingly handed over.
With a faint sigh as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, Tina slipped the dress over her head.
The dress cascaded down her slender neck like a waterfall, stirring a pool of bright silver light on her collarbone.
The hem fell to her ankles, swaying gently with her embarrassed deep breaths.
The cuffs were embroidered with dark silver laurel patterns, and each rise and fall would ripple with a faint flowing light.
If it were nighttime, that light would probably be more eye-catching than the moon.
“Not bad, very beautiful,” Raphael praised.
Tina’s fair skin complemented this silver-gray dress perfectly, and the blush on her face along with her red dark eyes added a few more touches of enchantment.
“But like this…” Tina tightened her grip on the hem. “Wouldn’t it be unsuitable for combat?”
Raphael chuckled. “Don’t worry, I naturally considered that.”
In the game, the Magic Silver Soft Armor was set to be able to change shape according to the wearer’s thoughts.
Raphael approached Tina and gently placed one hand on her forehead, where it met the base of her horns.
He knew that horns were the organs through which demon people received mana. By driving his Spiritual Perception from here, the effect should be much more pronounced.
Holding his breath and concentrating, that consciousness that could wander freely drilled into Tina’s body along the slightly reddish area at the edge of the horn base.
Accompanied by an itch on her forehead, her toes squeaked against the wooden floor, and a puff of pink mist slowly spread from her unconsciously parted red lips.
Following the trail of mana flow, Raphael found the tail of the Magic Silver Soft Armor embedded in Tina’s body at the root of her soul.
‘As expected…’
The Absolute Authority could both overview the entire prison from a macro perspective and also, like now, intricately move through someone’s consciousness.
As long as Tina’s soul was connected to the Magic Silver Soft Armor, she would be able to use it freely.
Although letting her figure it out slowly was also an option, it was a small matter~
He pulled out the tail and connected it to the pipe emitting a faint blue light.
“Mmm!”
The strange movement in her soul root made Tina cry out involuntarily.
She subconsciously grabbed onto Raphael’s clothes, and crystal-clear sweat rolled down her cheeks onto her neck.
Her moist skin was tinged with the flushed afterglow of shyness, melting at the scorching heat as if it would shatter at a touch.
Even just a cool draft of crosswind sent a strange sensation of electric current coursing through her entire body.
“Still no good.”
The contact point of the Magic Silver Soft Armor was quickly flushed aside by Tina’s massive Life Flow.
If it was only lightly connected to that pipe, it couldn’t be fixed at all.
To completely connect the two, there was only…
“It might hurt a little. Can you endure it?” Raphael asked softly.
“Mm…” Tina suppressed her voice, trying not to let her tone sound strange. “I’ll endure it, Lord Raphael…”
Having received permission, Raphael’s Spiritual Perception exerted a bit more force, peeling off a small piece of the tough outer layer of the soul conduit. Several wrinkles slowly spread to both sides, revealing the deep space inside where hot currents overflowed.
Blue steam carrying the scent of Tina’s origin lingered around Raphael’s Spiritual Perception.
Pure and flawless, yet with a scorching and mysterious aura.
Sweet and moist, it condensed on the surface of Raphael’s silver Spiritual Perception into a thread of blue transparent droplets.
They slid over the robe of Spiritual Perception, slightly sticky.
“After all, it’s the product of liquefied mana. No matter how pure, it can’t be like water.”
‘Speaking of which…’
Raphael didn’t know what mana tasted like yet.
Activating his senses, the residual bit of mana flow stuck to his expanded Spiritual Perception robe, traveling along that soul thread back into Raphael’s brain.
His nerves were exulting.
Having received this pure mana, Raphael’s senses instantly became incredibly clear.
Sweet with a slight milky fishiness, it actually made the mana flow linger endlessly in his mind.
With this layer of mana enhancement, Raphael’s Spiritual Perception became even more powerful.
He drove that irregular mass of Spiritual Perception, constantly melting and reshaping it, finally condensing it into the shape of a hand.
“This makes things much more convenient.”
That silver hand easily enlarged the narrow gap outside the pipe, and every wisp of blue mana steam spreading inside was transmitted back to Raphael’s brain.
And that silver hand swelled even more.
Finally, when the gap was wide enough to accommodate a finger, Raphael knew it was about enough.
However, he was curious about what it would feel like to enter the soul conduit and directly touch Tina’s Life Flow.
Thinking this, he inserted his finger into the bottomless deep blue tunnel.
The soul conduit itself was pliable, like human muscle.
When the knuckles of the silver hand stepped inside, the thin, elastic barrier outside the pipe slowly retracted, and the warm soul air crazily surged into the fingertip, uncontrollably drilling into Raphael’s mind.
Tina sensed this unusual movement growing deeper and could no longer restrain herself, beginning to pant heavily.
“L-Lord Raphael!”
Tina gritted her teeth, causing the soul conduit to tighten as well.
That layer of barrier suddenly clamped tightly around the finger. If he pulled it out forcefully, it would definitely damage Tina’s soul conduit.
But if he didn’t withdraw, that scorching, massive mana, carrying the hot currents of her origin, would continuously drill into his head. What would be the consequences?
He was already having a reaction now.
