"A sealed soul? Ugh… At the very least, it's indeed possible to cure him, huh…"
Vincent frowned as he heard the confirmation from the cube itself. He couldn't help but recall how his eyes were sealed as well. This time, it was actually a soul that was sealed!
[ That's correct. A sealed soul and curing him will probably cost 1000 durability points in normal cases. ]
"Oh! So that was why Luna mentioned that the Source Cube will be destroyed. Normal Source Cube only has one thousand durability points. However, you have an extra five hundred durability points! Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
Vincent said in excitement. The only problem was the fact that he can't repair the Source Cube with his Pseudo-Celestial Energy… Even if he could, it's probably an extremely tedious process since what he has is just a "fake" version of Celestial Energy.
'But it is still a sealed soul… It wasn't detected by even the Tower Master… Hmm…'
Vincent mused for a moment. He did not immediately order the cube to cure his Master. Since they've at least learned the real problem of why Ignacy wasn't waking up, the experts around him might have at least heard about this and has a different solution…
'Perhaps there's a Soul Art that can help him?' Vincent mused.
As a 3-Star Aura Knight, his understanding of Soul Arts has already reached a high level. At the moment, he's capable of using many Soul Techniques that are not included in the requirement for advancements like Soul Gaze, Aura Pulse, and Soul Forge.
These are just three of the many Soul Arts that he can learn as long as he has their skills books.
Anyway, since there seems to be a Soul Art that can seal a soul, then perhaps, there is also an Art that can unseal it…
If he thinks of this, then Abe and the other experts here might have a solution…
"Alright… There's no point hesitating now… I should inform the others about Ignacy's current state."
Vincent said as he called for everyone related to Ignacy and informed them what he had just found out.
***
Within the reception hall of the villa, Abe, together with his subordinates can be found calmly seated at the round table. Shane and Brycen had also arrived waiting for Vincent to announce what he learned.
Thyrus, Levent, and Faviona were also in a group but they are still waiting for someone.
"I apologize for arriving late…" Turhan said as soon as he arrived.
He was previously having fun with the black pistol in the training ground since the soldiers made several moving targets and it was quite challenging for him.
He only needed to pay for the bullets he was using and he was able to train his shooting skills for a few hours.
"It's alright… Thank you everyone for coming here… I won't make this long." Vincent said as he looked at everyone who was curious why they were suddenly called here.
"I have recently discovered the truth about Master Ignacy's real condition. Unfortunately, his soul is currently in a sealed state so we have no way of waking him up with our recovery potion. I gathered you all here to ask whether you've heard of this state."
Vincent said shocking everyone in the room.
"Sealed Soul? Hmm… Is there a technique like that?"
"Probably one of the forbidden Soul Arts… However, I'm not versed in Soul Arts… I've only trained my Soul enough to reach the 1-Star."
"It might even be a result caused by an Ephemeral Art… There are many unknown Magic Artifacts after all."
Abe and his subordinates commented after hearing Vincent.
"I also haven't heard of any Soul Arts capable of sealing someone's soul… However, it shouldn't be impossible that a technique like that exists… I wonder how they did it to him…" Turhan muttered as he thought that it really made sense why he was unable to discover Ignacy's illness.
His medical tools and even his Mystic Eyes can only check his physical condition. Since this issue is related to Soul, he can only blame himself for lacking in his abilities.
"Hmmm… I think I read something about it… Please wait a moment…" Levent muttered after noticing that no one is expressing their knowledge about the Soul Sealing Technique.
Vincent's eyes lit up after hearing the Professor speak.
'So it is called Soul Sealing Technique… As expected of the Arcane Mysteries Expert… I wonder if I could learn this overpowered technique.'
Even Brycen who had come to study at Solomon's Pillar doesn't seem to know about the Soul Sealing Technique…
Soon, Levent pulled out a deep purple crystal from her dimensional storage box…
It is a Knowledge Base Crystal but it is obviously smaller than the ones in the Academy. She then browsed it for a while to search for any information about the technique.
"It's the first time, I've heard about the Soul Sealing Technique. However, I know a few people who are experts in Soul Arts so they might be able to help us even if the Divine Doctor fails to cure him…" Abe spoke with certainty after noticing that Levent is spending a lot of time searching for answers in her crystal.
"That's a good idea… However, I already found a solution. So there's no need for Tower Master Abe to bring the Tower Lord to a faraway land."
Suddenly, Levent spoke with a cheerful voice as she put down the purple crystal in her hands.
"Whoa… As expected of Professor Levent." Turhan didn't waste his time praising his friend. After all, the person who will cure Ignacy will certainly receive favor from the latter.
"Hmm… It's good if you found it… Please enlighten us, Professor." Abe calmly replied.
Levent took a deep breath and looked at everyone before she answered.
"The Soul Sealing Technique is said to be one of the Soul Art's peak techniques. There are two possible solutions to help Sir Ignacy. The first method is to kill the one who cast this ruthless magic on him. The second method is to break the seal using a certain potion."
At this point, Levent looked at Vincent before shifting her gaze to Faviona, the only Tier 5 Alchemist within the room.
"I don't think I know a potion that can do that… However, if I have the recipe and its ingredients… I'm confident I can make anything." Faviona replied with confidence.
