The Vastness of Magical Destiny

"If that’s the case, I do have a suitable body that should fit you. His profession was probably a thief, but I think any thief who could escape from the hands of the Church of Light’s Thunderhorse Knight Group must be extraordinary. Moreover, it’s quite clear he possessed a considerable level of magic power. The Sappan Divine Wood Arrow killed him on the spot, and its poison has completely sealed his body. But the poison shouldn’t affect you, right?" Komer carefully sought the other’s opinion.

"Oh? Sappan Wood? The Divine Wood held as a treasure by the Bright Holy Teaching? It seems then that the owner of this body must have been one of our own kind. The poison does no harm to the body’s energy channels; it simply destroys the blood within the body. For me, that can only be a good thing. Possessing a body with Sappan poison might even provide some protection of its own."

Sensing the other party’s good mood, Komer hesitated a bit before saying, "However, this body is a male corpse. I wonder if you would mind?"

"A male corpse?! Is that what you meant by asking if gender mattered?" A strange and somewhat angry response came through, clearly not expecting such an issue to arise.

"Senior, as you well know, finding a corpse that meets your needs is very difficult. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been trapped for hundreds of years. I suggest you give it a try. If you find a more suitable body after escaping, you can always switch then. To be honest, I’m not too keen on using my own amulet for survival. Having a zombie that had already entered the initial phase of the Golden Corpse is a talisman that can protect me. Losing it would increase my danger. Although the senior entering the Golden Corpse’s body might make it several times more formidable, it wouldn’t be as easy to command as it is for me. Wouldn’t it be better to find another substitute?"

The other party was clearly irritated and reluctant, but the desire to escape the trap had been nagging them for hundreds of years. Now that they had such an opportunity, how could they simply give it up? Komer was right; suitable bodies are not easy to come by. Besides, once out, the sky is vast for birds to soar, and the sea is wide for fish to leap. Couldn’t they find a suitable female corpse after escape? Perhaps even one that perfectly matched their previous life’s body and freed them from all fetters and restrictions. Perhaps it was these thoughts that made them reluctantly agree to Komer’s suggestion.

"If that’s the case, you may go to the third door on the right and open the secret door. There is an earth-based magic prohibition on the door, which you can break open using water-based magic. Inside, you’ll find some crystals. The colorless and transparent one is the crystal capable of housing a soul. Take it out for me to enter, then place it on the vessel. Use psychic summoning magic to call a part of my magic soul into your body to reside temporarily. Establish a spiritual connection, and that way, I can complete the possession."
