Chapter 1730 - Truly Marvelous

Davis couldn't help but use his right hand to pat her head and try to console her.

"Iesha, I'm sorry for that time."

"It doesn't bother me anymore~"

Iesha shook her head on his chest, trembling as she still wept.

Davis could only wryly smile at her answer. If it didn't bother her, would she be feeling this way?

After half a minute, Iesha finally regained her calm. When she realized that she was already tightly holding him, being so intimate, her pale cheeks had already turned crimson. Still, feeling his warmth that encouraged her, she raised her head and looked at his sapphire eyes that suddenly matched gaze with her.

"Wi- Will you form a soul pact with me?"

She couldn't help but ask in a meek voice which caused Davis to nod heavily.

"Of course, but can you hear me out for a minute?"

Iesha blinked, wondering if this was rejection before she inwardly denied it and nodded to hear him out.

Davis licked his lips and pursed, appearing to choose his words carefully.

"Iesha, listen to me carefully. It's isn't an exaggeration to say that you managed to capture my heart with your actions when I thought I locked it, which is laughable. Therefore, you don't need to worry if I have feelings for you or not because I do indeed love you. However, the thing is, even if you form a pact with me, you'll receive little to no benefits as our laws don't match, but on the other hand, if you form a pact with Natalya, you'll tend to gain more."

"W-w-w-what?"

Iesha looked dumbfounded, "I... I didn't catch that properly. Can you explain it to me once again?"

Natalya grinned as she looked at them, knowing that his confession probably stopped Iesha's thoughts from moving. After all, receiving a loving answer from the person you love is an indescribable feeling that makes butterflies fly in your stomach, yet he had to add something else between it.

She could only shake her head. However, she understood what Davis was trying to say.

'My love... He's still going on about what's best for me instead of completely concentrating on her...'

Natalya couldn't imagine him giving off his women to others, especially when there were certain conditions placed on the soul pact. Even if it were an equal pact, she understood it was a matter of how equal it could be.

She was no longer an amateur as she had her Solitary Soul Avatar learn from Alstreim Family Library and, further on, even touching the records of Soul Palace as her Solitary Soul Avatar was currently there along with Evelynn and Isabella.

Still, she felt immensely satisfied that he had her in his heart, and his next words after he explained again to Iesha completely made her convinced.

"Natalya's not any woman, but my second wife, which would also mean that she is your second sister. You do understand that if you want to be with me, then you have to also look at my other women as if they were your own sisters, right?"

Davis asked Iesha, wondering if it was any different for a spirit, although he didn't think it was the case from what he heard.

"I know. It isn't any different for us spirits. However..."

Iesha bit her lips, looking at Davis with a bit of longing before she turned to look at Natalya, staring at her with narrowed eyes for a while.

"Fine. If it is Natalya who was so good to me, I'm willing to give it a try."

Natalya raised her hands, "It's fine if you're not willing. You don't have to force yourself despite what he says."

"We can find out if we're willing or not using the soul pact, as Davis said. After all, it should break if I'm not willing."

Iesha nodded towards Davis, which garnered him to take out an empty scroll before he began to write on it using his soul force. The scroll hung in mid-air while many characters quickly appeared on the scroll before he presented it to them in a minute.

"This is the Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact. Take a look at it before trying to use it."

Both Natalya and Iesha nodded as they looked at the floating scroll in front of them, reading it as their pupils moved.

In a minute, Natalya and Iesha understood the gist of it.

There were three levels to this Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact. When a human and a spirit are able to form this soul pact, they are able to instantly achieve the first level of the Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact, which increases their prowess by five percent of a stage when using their energies together.

The second level, the advanced level, requires the users to trust each other to an extensive level where their words uttered are believed in an instant, allowing their prowess to increase by twelve percent a stage when using their energies together.

As for the third and final level, it required one to be at a level where they are able to trust their backs to each other, at the level of being able to sacrifice for each other, allowing them to connect their energies to a vast level and consequently increase their prowess by twenty percent a stage higher!

This meant that if Natalya were at the beginning of the Ninth Stage without any additional prowess whatsoever, she would be able to fight a Mid-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouse with Iesha's aid! The third level constituted for the addition of prowess by a level regardless of the stage just from being united with the soul pact!

Of course, it required the spirit to be in the same stage as her but still...

Natalya and Iesha were both dumbfounded to see such a technique exist!

If this was the case, Natalya felt that her current prowess already allowed her to battle average a Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Expert and because she had two Perfect Domains at perfection, she could even go further, but if Iesha, who is at the Ninth Stage became her spirit, wouldn't she be able to battle Low-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses with ease even if she was at the first level of the Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact...?

After all, it was a five percent increase in stage, and the energy from Spirit Ancestor Iesha would drastically empower her own energy to boundless heights, making her reach the Ninth Stage in terms of prowess!

Natalya couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air once she imagined this scenario.

"This... is such a thing possible?"

Natalya couldn't help but ask, which had Davis almost reeling in laughter.

"Natalya, this Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact is also a wonder to me, but you can also see that it has many limitations. For example, if the spirit you tied with doesn't have the same attribute as you, you will fail to gain benefits in prowess, although you could still form a pact. That's why I said that it is more beneficial for Iesha to form a pact with you, as she could also receive benefits if you are stronger than her. While you receive an increase in prowess and cultivation speed to a degree, her cultivation speed will increase more times than it would increase for you."

"True," Iesha absentmindedly nodded, "My bodily energy lags at the Fifth Stage, but if I form a soul pact with you, I will be able to cultivate both cultivations many times faster depending on the level of trust we share that makes the soul pact powerful. This is too wonderful..."

"How does your cultivation work?" Natalya felt confused.

"A spirit's cultivation system is different as we only have two cultivation systems, but one of these two cultivation systems supports two energies. The Ninth Stage Cultivation I currently have supports both essence and spirit. As long as I cultivate my essence energy, my spirit energy would grow along with it, similar to how a magical beast would increase its soul energy as its body grows along with it."

"The other cultivation system is solely for my body, which has its own nine stages and four levels like all cultivation systems, and for each stage, we grow in this cultivation system, we become more attuned to our element and able to command more powerful elemental energy. This way, even without expending energy, we spirits are able to survive in hazardous environments that are opposite to us in nature."

Natalya's mouth went agape in marvel.

The spirits had their own cultivation systems, making her understand that they were really organized and civilized as humans were, like Davis said. Only magical beasts hadn't found a way to cultivate their essence energy, which made her wonder why but didn't bother much.

What she found truly marvelous was this Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact. It was truly unlike anything she had ever seen!
