Even as a Level 6 Wizard, Augustine's expression grew exceptionally grave as he controlled the Ship Plane in its confrontation with this giant monster.
After all, the plane before them was a living entity—one with its own will and terrifying power.
No wonder the wizards had searched the entire plane before and found no trace of any other intelligent life.
Because the most powerful "ruler" was the Frostfire Plane itself!
The concept of life was exceptionally complex throughout the endless planes inhabited by wizards.
But the more widely accepted view was that only beings possessing a "soul" could be considered alive.
If, in the world of Benjamin's previous life, life was a miracle formed from organic matter through countless coincidences,
then in the wizards' world, life was a miracle formed by spiritual power under particular conditions.
Of course, "soul" and "spiritual power" here did not specifically refer to any fixed substance or energy. Rather, they were umbrella concepts for whatever within a planar lifeform could bear consciousness.
In truth, the composition of souls was anything but fixed. On the contrary, the foundational elements making up the souls of creatures from different planes all differed.
It could be said that among the endless planes, the things called "souls" came in every strange and fantastic form imaginable.
And for that very reason, the bodies suitable for souls to attach themselves to were equally diverse.
Many elemental creatures were born based on this principle.
Following this principle, if some suitable element gathered together in sufficient quantity, and happened not to collapse due to its own gravity or conflicting energies,
but instead, through a fortunate coincidence, formed an immensely vast and unified "soul,"
then gathering enough elements afterward to form a body could indeed create a living creature as large as the plane before
