‘Dustine? One of the twelve Ancestor Witches??’
Alex wasn’t quite sure what happened then, but he knew he didn’t really have a say in this. After all, these ancient beings clearly had a closer bond to the Phanes ax.
‘I only responded to all of you for the sake of the ax. Why else would I want to know who you people are?’
“’Wait! Might I ask… When you say carry on your will, would anything happen to my body?” Alex asked, still worried.
“It will help you become a true warrior!” Dustine replied.
Right then, Alex felt a sudden gush of energy rushing into his body.
“Huh?” The woman blurted out. “Your body is rather odd… You have an Ancient Body, yet you’re carrying the three thousand Daos. Could this be fate? I hope you earn that achievement one day then!”
Boom!
Following that were more spirits shooting out of the other eight titans. Hence, nine spiritual entities’ wills were inserted into Alex’s body, merging together.
None of the other Ancestor Witches had spoken to him. Dustine was the only one who explained some stuff. After receiving their wills, Alex would have earned the power of witch origins. Not only could he sense witch law power, but he would also be able to continuously strengthen his body. However, something posed a problem in this. It would seem that another universe didn’t allow any witches to exist. Hence, if they noticed one, they would hunt the witch down until they caught them.
Upon hearing this, Alex was speechless. ‘So basically, this was just a big scam!’
Despite this, Dustine didn’t continue explaining anymore. Everything just fell silent, as the blood sea remained still. The nine Ancestor Witches, on the other hand, seemed to have experienced years of erosion, giving out and turning into dust. They were no longer able to support themselves.
His body had become two folds larger and taller within a few breaths than before.
Alex stood still for the time being since he could feel how much his body changed right then. This was the process of his body completely combining as one with the spirits. He figured that the process took quite some time. Days or weeks could’ve passed.
When Alex opened his eyes again, he realized that he was now standing in the middle of the blood sea.
For whatever reason, several chains were wrapped around him, trying to drag him into the blood sea. He was then tied to one of the pillars, just like how the Ancestor Witches were. However, he wasn’t worried since he had the Phanes ax within him. That was how confident he was and why the Ancestor Witch Spirits were willing to let him carry on their will.
Whoosh!
The Phanes ax appeared in his hands.
