Cursed by Randomness

Ch.71 [ Thoughts again ]

///

[My King. Is it really fine to leave that human like this? Even if he is part of you?]

Bellion asked, uncertain about his King's actions, as the two observed his other version. A split piece of his King's soul.

"Yes. This isn't 100% my 'World'... but this gives me an idea." William spoke calmly as he observed them have fun.

Currently, they all were throwing food at each other in the cafeteria.

During the fight, William observed his other self with his eyes. Using both Mana, Honkai and Reiryoku as sensory powers at once.

Mana and Honkai were both connected heavily to physical aspect which allowed him to sense his physical growth without tapping into his 'Ownership'. While Reiryoku was connected to spiritual aspect which allowed him to focus on similar things, ex. Aura is physical manifestation of a soul, which in turn is connection between Spiritual and Physical Aspects. But, it also seemed to ease the flow of Reiryoku in his body, as he felt it flow much more steadily.

As he continued observing. He found something quite unexpected about that self of his, he had a small. And in his eyes, really small amount of mana while also having Aura basically twentieth of what he had. To top it off, he awakened a Semblance. One which wasn't some form of 'copy' that William did before, but his actual Semblance.

One purely connected to his Aura.

"You see this shit?" He muttered in disbelief.

His shadows looked at him confused as they didn't understood what he meant. "Wait... aren't you guys spiritual beings?" William now turned to his shadows, ignoring his other self.

[Aye, my liege! Truly, we are but spiritual beings, bound in eternal fealty beneath thy majestic command.]

To his question answered a huge humanoid ant with visible and hard exoskeleton and sharp claws, with a pair of neon purple eyes.

William turned around with clear surprise and confusion. "Beru?"

He questioned as the ant made a deep bow.

《Right, you did fall 'asleep'. Remember the small incident where you kinda fucking died?》

Staring at the screen, Will simply nodded as Beru was clearly glaring at it. 'Right, I did finish the quest.'

He motioned for all his shadows to slowly appear, creating a massive mana spike in surrounding area.

Between all those Shadows, he noticed two new old shadows. "Beru, Tusk. Seems like I got myself a great 'Berserk' and a great spellcaster, better than me for now." He spoke with a smile as he stared at two.

The humanoid Ant made a happy squeaky noise?

While the giant, red skinned Orc bowed deeply with a proud toothy smile. "Damn, aren't you like over three meters tall?" Monarch muttered as he playfully compared their heights. (9.84ft)

As he observed the giant and ant, he once again looked back to his trusty pal. Sys.

《So, as you already assumed. Those two were biggest addition to your army. And we got a shard from each Monarch and Ruler, which isn't much but they were already absorbed.》

"Well, that's a great haul. Any interesting thing aside those?"

《Except attaining the last ability of Shadow Monarch? Nope.》

William motioned for his shadows to come back as he read the message once more, his eyes slightly widening.

"Wait... you mean the Shadow Absorption? I know it was only mentioned ability, and Jin-woo never used it. But I also never saw it in Ashy's memories?"
