"So…this girl is one of the Images of the Goddess, who trained you in the City of Trials?" Marie asked, looking at the young woman that had formed out of the huge orb they had fed with Essences every now and then.
The Queen of Immortality's image looked different than the one Dilan knew but that was quite obvious. All of them looked different!
The only thing they had in common was that the main body and her main images looked like the stone statue that was still towering in the back of the citadel.
"Thank…you for supplying me with Mana…and Essence Crystals…" The Queen's Image said, bowing toward Dilan when mentioning the Mana and toward Siegfried and the sisters for the Essence Crystals.
The voice of the Queen's Image sounded quite robotic but that would be solved real quickly.
She would download the data the other Images had collected about various races to study the human language in the shortest possible time.
There were already a bunch of data collected from the Flying Island's Image because she had listened to various discussions, but there were still quite a few things she was missing.
"Will you have problems maintaining this form while controlling your body properly?" Dilan asked, causing three pairs of eyes to look at him in confusion.
"Ah…I forgot to mention it, but the flying island is actually her body, and the Soul Heart is just the heart and the soul to her body. It's quite simple…once you get through the hard parts."
There was too much to explain if his sisters and nephew wanted to know everything in detail. That was why he could sigh in relief when Lara pulled Siegfried back from asking too many questions.
Siegfried was very nosy, especially when it came to miraculous things such as the heart and the soul of a flying island walking around in front of him.
The Queen's Image had taken the form of a young human girl, but she was mostly clad in a pristine white color. There was not much to see except the details in her face and a simple dress as she levitated through the air.
"You…know a lot about us Images…but I can't find you in the database…who are you?" The Queen's Image asked while turning toward Dilan.
It was only obvious that he couldn't be found in the Database of the Queen's memories, but that was not something the Image could know.
"There is no need to be vigilant of me. I meet the Soul Shard in the City of Trials, looks better than you with brown hair, a silver, and a green eye, and a huge greatsword on her back. She taught me the Immortal Godbringer Ammasutra technique and showed me how to activate your human form function.
She also showed me a few other things, but let's forget about that for the time being," Dilan felt like he was saying too much, so he shut his mouth after a while. He knew that there were quite a few things he could say that would lead to a big disadvantage in front of the Image.
This was also why he felt a little bit complicated about the naivety of the Queen's Image in the City of Trials.
Was she truly naive or was there another reason for her to trust him?
"Better looking than me? You are…lying! But you know the City of Trials…so you tell the…truth? Show me the Immortal Godbringer Ammasutra!" The Queen's Image was slowly adjusting to the human tongue, much faster than Dilan expected.
However, her sudden demand caused Dilan to frown.
"You devoured my entire mana, so I won't be able to summon a large Destruction Domain, but that's fine, right?" Dilan asked while retrieving a Tier-4 Essence crystal from his storage ring.
He activated the Perfect Essence Cultivation technique to absorb the Essence in the form of the purest mana before he moved outside the citadel.
The Queen's Image followed him and waited patiently while standing next to the Sisters and Siegfried.
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 "You are in possession of a strong Essence Cultivation technique…who is your master?" The Image asked and Dilan just smiled.
"I was taught by the Great Wise…I should look for him in the future and give him the revised Perfect Essence Cultivation technique!" Dilan said before he turned to the Image once again, "If one of your other Images meets him, tell that old man to come to Milarn. I'm too lazy to look for him. Tell him that I have the Perfect Essence Cultivation technique and that he was very lonely in the City of Trials!"
After Dilan said this with a smile on his lips, his expression changed all of a sudden. His life force was drained from him and an Immortality Aura formed around the rapier that had appeared out of nowhere.
Dilan grasped the rapier tightly and he took a deep breath while changing into a proper combat stance. The presence around him changed drastically. The air felt heavier and breathing got harder by the second. The world seemed to stop spinning and everything in a range of one meter around Dilan turned into dust and atoms while his existence seemed to…disappear.
His eyes were wide open, silver eyes gleaming brightly and he thrust the rapier out.
The thrust was issued without much force, but everyone held their breath when they looked at the scenery that unfolded in front of them…even the Queen's Image.
A silver-white stream of uncontrollable power burst forth from the tip. It shot high into the air, and pierced through the clouds seemingly without ever intending to stop.
Only when Dilan's eyes reverted back to the original sky blue color turned the silver-white stream of immense power into countless particles before they dispersed as well.
Blood spurted out of Dilan's right arm and several bones were broken from the tremendous impact his sudden utilization of the Immortal Godbringer Amasutra technique had caused.
However, Dilan was still fine once his Origin ability did what it was supposed to do.
"And? How was it?"
"It was acceptable…"
