Chapter 275: A Little Discussion Before Sleeping

-----

Veronica and Ervas quickly began to chat around, talking about their recent Evolutions and Job Changes through the wireless connection within their Souls.

"Oh, so you got a Dragon Bloodline! Pretty amazing! You are becoming so cool now, Ervas! We would have never guessed in our previous life that you would evolve like this…" said Veronica.

"Indeed this future is very strange and odd, we would have never been able to predict for such things to ever happen…" said Ervas.

"Yeah, and it is amazing that you also got Life Attribute Magic! Well, Limited Life Attribute Magic…!" said Veronica.

"That's right, and you got the Limited Death Attribute Magic Skill. It seems that we are truly opposites… Although, shouldn't I get Death Magic as well? I can wield some of those spells through Skills as you do…" said Ervas.

"I believe that you might awaken to it at some time, have faith! I would also love to wield Life Attribute Magic… But being an Undead and all, I am incredibly unfit for it! It actually hurts me…" said Veronica.

"Maybe if you level up your resistance, the skill you got recently that grants you resistance to life and light attributes, you might get an immunity, and then finally be able to wield life attribute," said Ervas.

"That's… true… But how hard would it be to even get immunity? I don't think there has ever been anyone who had acquired immunity to one attribute in the entire history of Kritias… At most, resistances, but they are already super hard to get," said Veronica.

"Hm, unlike in other fantasy novels we had read, such as the one of the spider where Resistance Skills are pretty easy to get, in here, getting that is incredibly hard… yet surprisingly, they exist…" said Ervas.

In Kritias, Resistance Skills that resisted damage from Attributes were incredibly hard to get and very rare amongst all beings who enjoyed the System's benefits. This was because to acquire resistance to an attribute without it being innate from the race itself (such as a monster), one needed to completely shower the body with that attribute, constantly taking damage and regenerating, and not many beings could even do such a thing before dying first.

It could be said that it was due to Veronica's unique soul composition that she was able to get the Life and Light Attribute Resistance Skill, as she can regenerate her HP as long as she had Mana through the Armory Skill, and her soul was being nourished by the Dead Spirit inside of it coupled with Soul Repair conjured by both her and Ervas.

"Maybe we could train you with it? As long as we keep showering you with Life Attribute Mana, and you keep regenerating, you should be able to level up the Skill eventually," said Ervas.

"Yeah, but it still a bit painful you know? The pain in the soul is still there! It is like a burning itch…" said Veronica.

"Hm, your soul had become very familiar with death itself, to the point that it could even be called a 'Death Soul'… But even then, my Soul is very covered in Life Attribute, yet we can still fuse perfectly fine without you suffering any damage, however, the areas within our fused soul that belong to you can still take Life Attribute Damage from external sources, such as when we covered ourselves in an Aura of Life and Light to fight against the Necromancer," said Ervas.

"Yeah, yeah… We could try it later on, but not now, I kind of want to slack off and relax…" said Veronica.

"Hm, sorry if I sounded a bit rude, it wasn't my intention," said Ervas.

"Aw, don't worry, there is nothing to apologize for. Anyways, I am now named after Hades," said Veronica.

"Oh, yeah… That's quite something else… So there is even… A world where Hades is? Is this real life?" asked Ervas.

"Yeah, have my memories about it," said Veronica, copying her memories into Ervas soul, as he watched through it all while gasping.

"Oh, it is true…" said Ervas.

"See? It's amazing! There is even a parallel world set in Greek Mythology! I really want to visit that now!" said Veronica.

"We… don't even know how though, so maybe for another occasion… Though all of this is quite intriguing, have you not realized?" asked Ervas.

"Of course I have! …But what do you mean by intriguing?" asked Veronica.

"Intriguing because we are left with little reasons in why this happened, to begin with. Simply being 'named' after Hades shouldn't give you magical powers to travel to a parallel world where there is a Hades, right?" asked Ervas.

"That's… right, you're right. All of this is fishy," said Veronica.

"Yeah… We are in the blue in all of this, we don't know anything… nor there is anyone to guide us through this, it is frustrating…" said Ervas.

"Indeed, we have to figure it out all on our own, and here's my theory! Parallel worlds!" said Veronica.

"…Well yeah, we already know that theory is right, this world is by itself a parallel of our previous Kritias…" said Ervas.

"Yeah! …Oh. Well, there might be other factors that connect us with other worlds. Especially you, mister summoner, capable of bringing creatures from other worlds and all like it's nothing! I am sure that there might be restrictions about this, but because you're a summoner and all, such restrictions might be ignored or changed around?" asked Veronica.

"Yeah, I believe so. I also have a theory about this, there could be something that encompasses it all and connect us within worlds and their universes, let us call it… fabric of space or something," said Ervas.

"Maybe spatial layers? Sounds cooler," said Veronica.

"Oh, good enough for me," said Ervas.

"Well, there is already an established connecting with me and that Hades, an I got a Skill named after her and also her direct Divine Protection… I believe that sooner or later I should be capable of meeting with her once again…" said Veronica.

"Hm, let's hope for that to happen one day, we have a lot of questions…" said Ervas.

"Indeed… Well, I am going to sleep now, it feels nice to be able to sleep even without a flesh body," said Veronica.

"Hm, the ability to do so must be due to your special soul. And good night," said Ervas.

As Ervas and Veronica went to sleep, they were quickly called into dreams…
