The Extra's Indifference

Chapter 101 Limited Supplies



It was a weird situation as the corpse of Aria lay on my side while the soul of Aria was in my ring speaking with me telepathically.

I didn't know how her soul entered into the transparent ball of my ring, all I knew was that Aria was still living, just not physically but in soul form.

'Is this the affect of the [Records of Souls] enchantment?' I thought and nodded my head.

This was highly possible since Aria was in soul form and the name of the enchantment implied that it worked with souls.

"Hello there Aria. How are you feeling? Was dying painfully and can you describe to me how you are feeling being in a soul form I mean?" I leaned to my ring and asked with my usual acting tone. Which was cold but with some playfulness in it.

The transparent orb shined briefly and I heard Aria's voice in my head again.

>> I feel calmer than ever, master. My mind is clear, making me able to think more thoroughly without any bodily feelings and desires. <<

Well, it was understandable as most pain, lust, sadness, and happiness are caused by the body leaving only a small part to the soul. So, in a word, she traded her physical body and extra, useless feelings for calmness. Though she was still feeling some emotions as she was still calling me master. Or I was thinking like this for now as I didn't have any proof of its opposite right now.

And she evaded my question about how dying feels, but I didn't force her to answer this because I thought that it caused her trauma, which she ultimately didn't want to answer. I didn't need to know about how dying feels anyway.

"That is good, I think. So can you tell me about your situation? For example, can you get out of there and enter your body or another body again? And do you have a time limit for staying there?"

>> I don't know if I can enter my body but I can feel that I can stay here for the time being, if something abnormal doesn't happen. <<

"Then that is good. Do you have something else to say? I need to rest my body." I asked with a sleepy voice and closed my eyes after receiving a 'no.' from Aria, letting my mind fall into the dark abyss.

I didn't have any rush to ask Aria questions about her situation as my battered body needed rest and I needed to get rid of the lingering sadness in me. The sadness was not so much but it was still there, making me unstable, that is why I began to sleep immediately, without caring about the bloody scent I left everywhere.

I opened my eyes exactly 30 minutes later and got up slowly to not harm my already bad muscles.

I just rested enough to recover some mana and take whatever I needed from outside before closing the entrance of the cave.

I spread my aura around the cave and the battle place thinly and searched every crook and cranny to not miss a mana fiend or my storage artifact that flew with the attack of the werewolf.

Luckily, there weren't any mana fiends around. However this was strange as I was sure that they would smell the scent of blood and come here to eat this mana rich corpses, but they didn't, not even a single mana fiend came.

Hence I was acting very cautiously even though my intuition wasn't warning me. I thought that something was indirectly playing with me while playing with my intuition. I didn't know how my intuition worked but I thought that something was jamming it.

Magic was real instead of just being fantasy, so jamming an innate power was possible too. There weren't any impossibilities in this world, just unexpected and strange things that people can't comprehend.

That is why I didn't even go out of the cave and only spread my aura instead of searching myself with mana.

A while later, I found my storage artifact. It was stuck on a branch of a tree, which was 10 meters above the ground.

The mana inside my blood moved to the tip of my index finger. Without stopping, it flowed toward my storage artifact, leaving a trail of blue light behind.

When the mana thread reached my storage artifact, it turned into the ice thread and held the storage artifact, then the ice thread brought my storage artifact with slow and steady movement.

Afterward, I covered the entrance of the cave with ice walls, using all of my mana to make it tough as possible as I can.

Then, I let myself to gravity without caring about my body and fell flat on the corpse of Aria. Once again closing my eyes to the world but this time more longer than before.

Though this sleep of mine didn't last long again as I opened my eyes after 3 hours.

I took my storage artifact into my hand and searched through my supplies. Which was pathetic as there were only 5 healing potions and some random herbs I took from [Lost Forest].

Well, I decided to lay low for the time being and not get into the action, since I needed every healing potion I had.

Though I still drank 1 more healing potion as my left arm was still in bad shape.

Then I took out a book, which was a thick black book with stars on its cover. The title of this book was 'How to Create a Personal Subspace Without Killing Yourself'. This was the book that I received from Indra after I requested subspace magic from her as her saint.

I thought that I should learn subspace magic after losing my storage artifact like that. There were many important items in my storage artifact and losing them again would be a nightmare.

Hence, I lit a light and began reading this book while creating my subspace.
