The separation of souls × Ice and fire

After getting to know each other through casual conversation.

Kevin looked at Zaharut, who was being protected, and Emission him from the bag.

Zaharut had clearly lost a lot of weight at this time.

The original Zaharut was an extremely strong middle-aged man; without a doubt, judging from his appearance alone, he was a muscular giant.

But now the other person has become very thin, with pale skin and a dull complexion.

However, it's quite remarkable that he could maintain this state after being in a coma for so long.

Kevin crouched down and looked at Zaharut.

Zaharut was still breathing softly at this moment.

This proves that the other party is indeed still alive.

Kevin reached out and placed his hand directly on Zaharut's forehead. It was clear that Zaharut's problem stemmed from the soul, from the spiritual realm, rather than the body.

If it only affected the body, Jin and the others would have been cured long ago.

The only area where they are still exploring healing is the one that involves the soul.

The medications they carried also offered almost no treatment options in this area.

As Kevin touched the other's spirit and will, his soul, the first thing he felt was coldness, as if he had touched a block of ice.

Because it was the will of the soul, the coldness felt was very obvious.

"His spirit has been frozen?"

This was the first time Kevin had encountered something like this.

It wasn't surprising that Leckka was there.

"The Wind-and-Snow Fairy of the Frost Domain." Seeing the crowd's gazes, he explained, "That's the Boundary of the Frost Domain, one of the life forms that sometimes invades. I've seen them a few times before. I don't know if there are any Lord, but these fairies are extremely powerful; they can blow out winds that freeze souls."

After describing its appearance, Jin and the others thought back for a moment, then shook their heads, realizing they hadn't found such a creature.

"It's normal that we didn't find them; they must have hidden themselves. That's how fairies are."

Jin asked curiously, "Then why Zaharut? We were all on the verge of collapse during the battle."

"I don't know, I've only seen this kind of creature before."

This thing poses no threat to him, so how would he know why this situation is occurring?

"The simplest solution to this situation is the Cocoon of Rebirth, but Zaharut has already used it once."

This is troublesome.

The treatment of mental illness is very complex, and Kevin basically doesn't understand it.

Treatment will not be as simple and brutal as treating the body.

"For problems with the spiritual entity, we can seek help from Spiritual Lifeform."

Kevin had an idea and immediately took action.

Not long after, Kevin arrived here with someone.

Golden Spirit.

This was one of the most likely spiritual beings Kevin could think of to help them here.

Secondly, there are the lives of the Weavers.

Golden Spirit walked over curiously and looked at the unconscious human lying in front of her.

He directly separated a portion of his own spirit and poured it into Zaharut's body.

They manipulated the other person's body to stand up.

He shook his head from side to side and jumped up and down a bit, which didn't seem like treatment at all, but rather like he was getting used to his new body.

A new toy.

However, no one made a sound to disturb the situation; they simply watched quietly.

Golden Spirit manipulated Zaharut's body, making various movements, and finally just stood there staring at each other, making expressions.

This behavior caused Biscuit and the others to look at each other strangely.

Are you sure you're not just playing with toys?

After all that fuss, Golden Spirit gave up and let Zaharut lie back down.

"I think I've figured it out." Looking at everyone's gaze, she said, "There are two unknown alien life forms within his current will and soul."

"Unidentified alien life forms, or two of them?"

Jin asked in surprise.

Why Zaharut? We don't have an answer yet.

"So as long as we get these two foreign life forms out, he will naturally wake up and no longer be affected."

"So how do we get it out?"

"Men Qi asked."

"It's very simple."

As Golden Spirit spoke, her hands pierced directly into Zaharut's body.

It's like hugging something and pulling it away.

And so Zaharut's soul was forcibly ripped out.

It is called a soul, but in essence it is a strip-shaped object. The object looks like a cluster of mist, but upon closer inspection, it is more like some kind of illusion.

Is this what the human soul is?

Men Qi asked curiously.

Biscuit and King, however, were not surprised.

In the human world, especially among those with Nen ability, the soul is not a big secret at all.

Many Nen ability affect the soul, especially Resentment and some extremely malevolent Nen ability.

The same purpose can be achieved through certain Succession Ceremony.

This also gave rise to the profession of exorcist.

However, this is the first time that a complete, intact soul belonging to a living person has been pulled out and shown to them like this.

After Zaharut's soul was pulled out, Zaharut body immediately underwent visible changes.

Frost seeped out from beneath the skin and began to freeze the entire body.

In the blink of an eye, his body was covered with a thick layer of Frost.

"It seems the freezing is even more severe."

Golden Spirit said.

He once again manipulated Zaharut's body to stand up.

Then he tilted his head and patted his left ear.

A flame fell out of the ear and landed on the grass, instantly setting the lawn ablaze.

"Little Flame!"

Jin was somewhat surprised.

"You still recognize him?" Men Qi asked, looking at the Little Flame.

At that moment, it was just a Little Flame, about the size of a thumb, burning quietly like a spark.

At this moment, Zaharut's body was being manipulated, and he tilted his head to the other side before patting his ear.

A blue, icy figure fell out, and the Frost covering its body vanished the instant it fell out.

It was about the size of a palm, with transparent wings that extended backward, and its shape resembled a human, with limbs, a head, a torso, and hair.

Its ears are long and pointed, and its hair shimmers with light spots and is pale blue.

They are simply miniature versions of humans.

It looks almost exactly like the fairy in the story.

Moreover, this fairy was also unconscious when it fell to the ground, and instantly the power of frost spread from the ground to the sides.

Kevin waved his hand, and a sphere made of scales trapped the fairy inside.

The other hand protected the flame in the same way.

At this moment, Golden Spirit stuffed Zaharut's own soul into his body.

"Suck!!!"

Zaharut seemed to wake up suddenly, opening his eyes and gasping for breath.

"You're awake."

Jin was surprised by the immediate effect and quickly stepped forward to help the other person up.

At this moment, Zaharut lay weakly, panting heavily.

"It's awful, it's torture."

The first words Zaharut spoke after waking up.

This guy is undoubtedly a tough guy, but his strong reaction after waking up shows how much he suffered during his coma.

"Take a break first."

Jin helped Zaharut sit down on the grass.

Just as he was about to take out the medicine, Kevin stopped him.

"Use something new."

A mechanical, mosquito-like Syringe flew over and pierced Zaharut's body.

The medicine was poured in.

The effects were immediate.

Zaharut let out a comfortable sigh, and her complexion visibly flushed.

The muscles that had been thin and emaciated began to fill out.

"The Relief Recovery Potion has an immediate effect, and its effects will continue gradually until the end."

Repairing the body from both a mental and physical perspective.

Of course, the psychological aspect is more about relaxation and protection, with very little emphasis on treatment.

"Thank you, I feel much better."

Only then did Kevin look at the two things in his hands.

They also appear to be in a coma.

Jin then said, "That Little Flame over there is a flame-shaped life form. After we encountered it before, it followed us on our exploration. After that encounter, it disappeared. I thought it was dead."

After all, it was just a flame; encountering wind and snow, it's hard to say whether it was completely extinguished.

On the other side, without a doubt, was the Wind-and-Snow Fairy.

She really looks exactly like the fairy in the story.

Do all fairies look like this?

Biscuit leaned closer, her eyes full of curiosity, even sparkling.

Men Qi was also very curious.

This creature seemed to perfectly suit their tastes.

But then Leckka pointed out, "That's not how it works. I've seen them before; they're more like a mass of blue energy."

"It's because of me that she's become this way in my mind; she wasn't like this before."

After catching his breath, Zaharut spoke at this moment.

"You can feel it?" Kevin asked.

Zaharut.

"Actually, I wasn't unconscious. I could sense the outside world and also feel the two things hidden in my head, one ice and one fire."

"They emanate their power within me, but ice is more potent, while fire can only sustain me to a basic level."

"At that moment, I felt like a corpse frozen in an ice coffin, with only a flame in the middle providing the most basic warmth to keep me from dying."

This feeling was obviously unpleasant; just recalling it made Zaharut's face turn pale.

However, they didn't know much about Little Flame or Wind-and-Snow Fairy.

Currently, both of these living beings are also in a coma.

Golden Spirit looked at the two life forms with curiosity.

Then, as if realizing something, two gold leaves appeared in his hand.

They were placed into two different spheres.

The leaves that flew in instantly vanished, turning into specks of golden light that filled the sphere.

"What's this?"

Kevin immediately became interested.

"A type of leaf that has therapeutic effects on us."

I see. It must be some kind of plant that can treat mental health issues.

"The recovery won't be that quick; it will take some time."

After recovering from her treatment, Golden Spirit stayed.

She wanted to interact with humans a little longer.

This important task naturally fell to Jin and his team, since the other party was Zaharut's savior.

One month later.

Finally.

The competition is about to begin.

Zaharut, who had been resting in the camp, looked at the group of people, including Kim.

"The competition is about to start, but it seems like you guys haven't prepared anything?"

Upon hearing this, Jin shrugged.

"What can you possibly prepare? There's no registration process at all."

Upon hearing this, Zaharut was puzzled: Was this really considered a competition?

"There aren't that many rules. If you want to compete, just go off the field."

Men Qi said from the side.

The competitions here are just that brutal.

What rules? What restrictions? There are none.

As for how to determine wins and losses?

They either surrendered, admitted defeat, died, or fell into a coma and were unable to fight any longer.

It's very simple and straightforward.

"Don't think about it anymore. Just get some rest. The medicine can only help your body recover; the mental damage and fatigue can only be addressed with time."

Aimeme looked at Zaharut and reminded him.

Zaharut nodded, not trying to be defiant.

He was physically fine, but he suffered considerable mental damage.

And to be honest, he probably won't be able to continue exploring with Jin and the others; the mental damage is still affecting him.

An overheated environment would sting his spirit, as would a cold, biting wind.

This completely deprived him of the conditions to continue exploring.

If you want to explore, how can you not travel through hot and cold environments?

Once placed in such an environment, Zaharut would almost certainly lose his fighting ability and even suffer greatly.

Simply put, he can now easily perceive these two external environments using his mind.

It's as if his body has lost this kind of barrier, making it unable to protect his spirit.

Even Golden Spirit didn't know how to solve this problem, because the other party was a pure Spiritual Lifeform without flesh and blood, and he really didn't understand what was going on.

This is a problem stemming from the spiritual aspects of a being with flesh and blood.

Simply put, if treating the physical body is one discipline and treating the mental health is another, then this illness is Mixed Illness, spanning both disciplines.

These are conditions that require a combination of treatments to be effective.

This is completely beyond the means that humans can currently treat.

"Qiduo would be happy to see me."

Zaharut, for some unknown reason, muttered a silent complaint.

Patients like him are rare and exceptional cases.

Qiduo naturally wanted to study this condition.

"Let's go back after this trip. We really need to rest and sort out what we've learned."

Kim said this.

Soon, they headed towards the Arena together.

Kevin had already arrived at the Arena quite early.

After all, he was a recognized Lord, unlike Jin and his ilk.

Located on the edge of the center of the Grand Arena, this is the best viewing platform.

The Weavers' Lord, Leckka, Cat, Kevin, and Golden Spirit, along with four other unfamiliar Lord, have gathered here.

Three of them are Lord of their own clans, and the other is a powerful individual Lord.

Of these four new Lord, only one is recognized.

Do you want to participate?

The Weavers asked.

All the Lord here naturally refused.

The Cat, standing beside Kevin, explained, "In matches like this, if there's only one Lord, the Weavers will find a replacement to fight." It then pointed to itself with its paw, adding, "That replacement is usually me."

Judging from this, it's clear that very few Lord would participate in such competitions.

So it's probably just a routine question.

That's understandable; after all, if the Lord wins immediately, what's the point of fighting?

Not all life forms participate in the competition; they are not beings that fight simply for the sake of fighting.

Ultimately, only a minority of lives are dedicated to fighting for the sake of fighting.

The Weavers needs a certain emotional desire generated during battle to collect them.

Therefore, if Lord participates, a Lord will usually be chosen to supplement the participation, and then the rewards will be tiered.

As the conversation unfolded, more and more lives entered the Grand Arena.
