The Witch Hunter System

"How should I absorb the dragon soul force inside this dragon soul pearl?" Vaan asked before adding, "I can't just swallow it as I would with normal medicine, right?"

Although he had the system to help him absorb the dragon soul force, it's not something people knew about, and he would rather keep it that way.

[Aren't you a Soul Master? This dragon soul pearl should be like a heavenly elixir to you. That said, not just anyone can be a Soul Master, and being a Soul Master doesn't guarantee you can fully absorb the dragon soul force on your own either.]

[That's why I am here. It's my duty to help the Fire Dragon God's successor absorb the dragon soul force. And by the looks of it, I'd dare say you have a very high chance of fully absorbing every ounce of the dragon soul force.]

The Quasi-Divine Fire Spirit claimed.

"That sounds about right," Vaan acknowledged with a calm nod.

Although he had considered the possibility that the Fire Dragon God's soul would take over his body to revive itself, it was simply impossible.

As the Quasi-Divine Fire Spirit mentioned, the dragon soul pearl was no longer the Fire Dragon God's soul but pure dragon soul force after undergoing refinement.

As such, the dragon soul pearl didn't contain any remnant will or even memories; it was just pure nourishment for the soul.

[When you're ready.]

"Let us start right away."

[Very well.]

Shortly after the Quasi-Divine Fire Spirit received Vaan's consent, it controlled the dragon soul pearl with mental control and pressed it against his forehead.

[There will be some minor discomfort, but don't resist the dragon soul force.]

The Quasi-Divine Fire Spirit instructed.

Shortly after, the dragon soul force was extracted and channeled directly into Vaan's mind like a steady stream, flowing and consistent.

…

Vaan's soul continued to be nourished by the dragon soul force, growing at a rapid yet smooth rate that could make others turn green with envy.

Despite the rapid growth, Vaan did not feel the slightest pain.

After the initial discomfort when the dragon soul force drilled into his mind, he only felt a soothing sensation with increasing clarity.

While being immersed in the feeling, Vaan lost track of time.

An unknown amount of time passed before the dragon soul pearl was depleted, ending Vaan's soul nourishment process.

Vaan slowly opened his eyes and found his perception of the world had changed—or rather; it was reinforced.

He had a better sense of the Fire Law, which governed the world.

However, his perception wasn't just limited to the Fire Law; he could also sense the other universal laws, albeit much weaker.

[Congratulations. You have fully absorbed the dragon soul force and, once again, well exceeded my expectations.]

The Quasi-Divine Fire Spirit spoke.

It had expected Vaan to reach the Demigod rank. But what it didn't expect was that Vaan would also reach the limit of the Demigod rank.

The difference between the beginning of the Demigod rank and the limit was no small difference. In fact, the gap was enormous.

As such, logically thinking, it shouldn't have been possible to achieve—not unless Vaan's soul was also extremely compatible with the dragon soul force.

The Quasi-Divine Fire Spirit couldn't help but believe Vaan possessed great destiny.

He was fated to rule the dragons.

[Now that you have thoroughly absorbed the dragon soul force and acquired a Demigod-rank dragon soul, you're not just any ordinary successor.]

[You have become the progeny of the Fire Dragon God. Therefore, when members of the Red Dragon God see you, it would be like seeing the Fire Dragon God himself.]

[All the resources of the Trial by Fire belong to you now, and the entire Red Dragon Clan is yours to command.]

"Right," Vaan nodded.

[Well, then. I'm sure you need to adapt to your current changes. So, I won't take up any more of your time. You may call out to me when you need me.]

"Understood," Vaan nodded again.

The Quasi-Divine Fire Spirit had spoken correctly. He had undergone staggering growth and changes. Thus, he needed time to review everything.

'Status!' Vaan willed.
