Angel Of Venom

Venom XLVIII

Chapter 48: This Game of Hide and Seek

The Summoner of a Holy Beast is a bit special. The Summoner and their Holy Beast is connected by soul, because of the contract that bounded them together. The Holy Beast's power serves as a battery for the Summoner to release their full potential. That's why the Holy Beast must lend their power to their masters no matter what.

Pinaglaruan ni Lavinia ang singsing na nakasuot sa kaniyang hintuturo. Nakasakay siya ngayon sa carriage papunta sa Imperial Palce upang personal na kitain ang Emperor.

However, I am a different case. Every people in this universe have a physical body, mental body, and spiritual body. The spiritual body of a summoner is the one who's connected to their Holy Beast. As I was blessed by the god Nareus and was able to release his power, the Heaven's Judgement—My spiritual body is unstable.

Because of my almost omnipotent Winter Mana, Holy Beast Aquilo, and the god's blessing... my body couldn't handle all of them at once. To maintain the stability of my spiritual body, I enter into a trance and receive Aquilo's power through a physical contact. That's what Kamaria and I call, "Transfer." Meaning, during the process of "Transfer", Aquilo and I must have a physical contact in order for me to receive his mana. By using this method, I can stabilize my spiritual body. 

This is what Kamaria meant by what she said. Kung hindi ko gagawin ito ay ako ang mapapahamak. If my spiritual body cannot maintain my powers... my physical body will crumble into pieces and will dissipate like ashes in thin air. 

As much as I am strong with all of those abilities, my own powers will also be the death of me.

Napahawak si Lavinia sa kaniyang ulo at sarkastikong natawa. Pinilig niya ang kaniyang ulo patungo sa tabing bintana ng carriage na sinasakyan.

"With great power comes great responsibility..." she mumbled.

And that responsibility is my own life being at stake.

If I were truly blessed by the gods, then why do I have to suffer such unfortunate childhood? And even now... the death flag is waving at me like a bitch waiting for my embrace.

Natigil sa pag-iisip si Lavinia nang tumigil ang carriage na sinasakyan. Napatingin siya sa labas. Agad siyang namangha sa higante at eleganteng palasyo sa tapat ng carriage.

"My lady, nandito na po tayo."

Bumukas ang pintuan ng carriage. Tumambad sa kaniya si Luan na agad naglahad ng kamay sa kaniya. She accepted Luan's hand before going out of the carriage.

Her blue dress flowed like fine waves of the ocean in the air. Nakatali sa isang braided at malaking bun ang buhok niya. Her bangs flowed smoothly on her forehead. Some pearls and diamonds were decorated on her hair to make it more elegant.

"Greetings, Lady Lavinia Claymour. This way, please... His Majesty has been waiting for your arrival," the old Chamberlain greeted her.

"Greetings, Your Excellency. Yes, please lead the way."

Agad silang dumiretso papasok ng Imperial Palace. Sa hallway pa lamang ng palasyo ay makikinita ang eleganteng istroktura nito. The high ceiling that no man could ever reach was decorated with murals and shining chandeliers. The huge vases, excellent paintings, and ornaments on the sides were enchanting to look at.
