Tristan was still standing on the ground of the unknown planet while watching how the surviving blood elves walked away, leaving the badly injured human magus.
According to what Virtaz had said to the captain of the human magus, he had chosen freedom for him and the other three blood elves.
At that moment, the scene he was watching suddenly broke, and cracked. A blinding light made Tristan instantly feel like he was blind.
By the time his eyes got used to the light, Tristan realized that he had returned to a familiar room. It was that dark room where Nara, the bloodgem dragon, was still standing in front of him, waiting.
"My Lord Monarch, did you succeed?"
Tristan nodded and then looked back at the fragment memory crystal which was slowly breaking apart and absorbed into him. Along with that, a notification appeared in his mind.
[Your soul was greatly enhanced]
[You have reached Katra stage 5]
[Blood Mastery prerequisite condition met]
Elves generally needed hundreds to thousands of years before they could break through Katra 5, but Tristan could do this by absorbing the Spirit souls.
Katra 5 was a prerequisite for an elf to become a magus and should help him have an [Immortal body] but not for a blood elf.
At least Blood elf had [Undying Body], which had the same type of strength as [Immortal body], even though this didn't have much effect. But at least with Katra 5, he can now start to use tier 6 and 7 spells which hopefully could match the power of Blood Elf.
What caught his attention, of course, was [Blood Mastery]. Something that made him very excited because, along with this, the memory of this skill came back to his mind.
But before he could examine it, the floor where the crystal memory fragment was located opened up and a stone object slowly rose. It was a figurine resembling a woman with a pair of curved horns on either side of its head.
With his new memory, he immediately knew what to do with the statue to unlock it. With a slight touch to the statue's body, a notification popped up in his mind again
[Release the Mythical Beast - Golden Scale Dragon]
[25,000 blood Essence required]
Luckily Tristan had this amount, and he used it right away.
"Yes,"
In an instant, he confirmed the option, and the stone statue turned into bright light.
After being fully formed, the light slowly disappeared.
A new half-human half-dragon figure had appeared next to Nara.
She had long flowing golden hair and a pair of horns. Her whole body was covered with sharp and hard golden scales. Her round eyes stared at Tristan for a second before finally bowing in respect.
"My Monarch, the time has finally come. Thank you for summoning me back."
At that moment, Tristan realized that he could feel the power of the golden dragon. It was immense, and her presence managed to affect Nara, the bloodgem dragon, who also got an increase in her strength.
[Golden Scaled Dragon]
[Magical Creature]
[Level 90]
During the deadly battle, blood elf vs supreme magus, Tristan had witnessed the form of the golden dragon and the power she could wield.
From his memory, he got the name of the golden dragon.
"Nora, welcome back,"
A moment later, Tristan felt a vibration in the room, which was followed by the opening of the roof of the room. The floor he stepped on slowly rose together back into the Heart of Monarch room, which was surrounded by the lake of blood.
The merging of this room meant that the fragments had successfully been absorbed inside his memory.
From all the fragments of Virtaz's memory that he had just witnessed firsthand, he could see the strength of the blood elves was extraordinary. Even the strength of his current blood elf monarch body was still not enough to match their prowess in causing damage, slaughter, and destruction.
Behind all the destruction, that memory also taught him about friendship.
And even more important was the fact that the blood elves ultimately decided not to be bound by anyone. Especially, the elves who had created them.
It was absolute freedom that belonged to the blood elves.
And all this memory was now a part of him...
Tristan then pondered for a moment.
Freedom from anything?
There was no barrier between humans and elves.
This was something similar to what Arcadians do. Tristan then asked himself if this was why Virtaz came to this planet?
Has he found his new home on this planet as in memory? But what about his other friends? What was their fate? Why did Virtaz say that he was the last blood elf?
At the same time, the room vibrated again and once again Tristan saw a hole open from the floor and a new flight of stairs opened for him.
As he approached it, again he saw a chain, this time looking many times stronger that he couldn't even touch.
A message appeared in his mind.
[Spirit Soul 0/100]
With a glance, Tristan immediately knew that the answers to all his questions were in the third memory fragment that was behind this chain.
But this time, he needed 100 spirit souls, meaning 50 magus. Seeing this number, he laughed a little. He was sure that on this planet there weren't even 20 or 30 magus alive. So did this mean he couldn't break this seal forever?
A glimpse of the threat of the Space Knight came back to his mind, and he smiled again... When those humans from space came, he might then have enough to fill the number "
Yes, come as many as possible. I'm ready to wait for you."
Tristan turned around to look at the two female dragon figures, Nora and Nara, smiled and said,
"You two need an upgrade,"
