Chapter 48: Salvation
[Analysis: Monster Bonding is a cultivation path where a human forms a mutual, soul-level contract with a monster. They do not just tame the monster; they share its core.
The monster’s core becomes a part of the cultivator’s own energy system. Their life and death become linked. If the cultivator dies, the monster dies, and vice-versa.]
[Limitations: Both monster and human cannot live apart more than a hundred metres.]
A new screen popped up, showing more detail.
[The most significant effect of this mutual bond is the sharing of Traits. The cultivator gains direct access to the monster’s innate Trait, allowing them to use it as their own.]
This new information hit Rhys like a lightning bolt. He thought of the small, blue egg in his spatial pouch.
’Eggy...’
The feeling of intense pride from Eggy was instant. It was beaming with happy waves, one after another, trying its best to show off to the System and Yuki.
Yet, apart from the System, Yuki did not even know of its existence.
’System, I have a soul-bond with Eggy. Can I do this too?’ Rhys asked the important question that had appeared in his mind.
[The Host’s bond is a true soul-bond, not a simple contract. The connection is deeper. The Host can not only access the bonded creature’s Trait, but also its Bloodline.]
Rhys felt a surge of excitement. The Monster Bonding technique was already a secret, at least in the province.
