Chapter 582 - Devil Spirit Body

Outside of Duna's big tent, two soldiers guarded the entrance faithfully and vigilantly.

Achoo!

One of the two soldiers suddenly sneezed while the other had cold shivers.

"I wonder who we are guarding inside… why does it suddenly feel so cold all of a sudden?" One of the soldiers spoke while rubbing his nose.

"I heard it's the spirit that follows His Highness around. You know… the one that was rumored to be the evil ghost that haunted Lost Isle Alley back in the Capital some hundred years ago…" The other soldier said.

"Huh? That's kind of spooky…" The soldier was startled before he spoke with curiosity, "I wonder how His Highness was able to tame the spirit to become docile?"

Suddenly, the temperature dropped even further before the two soldiers heard a woman's voice that sounded like the devil's whisper, "Who did you say tamed who?"

The two soldiers immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

Duna walked out of the tent with a white cloth wrapped around her body like a dress. Her fair skin emitted a soft luster that faded shortly after.

A chilling sensation surrounded the two soldiers.

However, they quickly realized it was not a change in the temperature but the aura being emitted by the person that seemed to freeze their very souls with fear.

"Uh… we were just speaking irresponsibly. Please don't kill me…" One of the soldiers said as he felt Duna's smooth fingers traced along the veins of his neck.

His body trembled, but at the same time, he was startled inside his heart.

Although there was no warmth in Duna's fingers, the sensation the soldier was receiving was no different from human flesh.

'Wasn't this person suppose to be a ghost?' The soldier questioned in his mind with shock.

Shortly after, Duna retracted her hand before she snorted, "Your jobs are done here. You can scram now."

"Y-Yes! Thank you, Miss Duna!" The soldiers quickly spoke before scurrying off like they had just seen a ghost—no, a devil!

Sometime later, the two soldiers were gone from sight.

Duna raised her hand towards the sky and glanced at the moonlight shining on it without passing through before she silently mused, 'Unexpectedly, I was able to completely forged the outer shell of my Devil Spirit Body.'

'To think that True Grandmist Energy still exists in this world and has yet to vanish completely… or did Leon brought back its existence? That person is truly an enigma, filled with surprises…' Duna licked her lips.

She could hardly contain her thirst and wanted more.

'Just now, I had a strong urge to kill those two soldiers and suck their blood dry…' Duna quickly frowned in thought.

'Now that first step of building my corporeal body is complete, I am no longer considered a spirit.'

Although it was just the outer layer, Duna became entirely physical without any transparency like an average person—and not some glass vase like before.

But with this change, she was now something akin to an undead. A constant thirst for the blood of the living now burns within her unless she is satiated.

Shortly after, Duna glanced down at the cloth she wrapped around her before she mused, "I need to find some proper clothes too…"

"I should go find Leon." Duna quickly decided before heading off to look.

Duna's beauty quickly attracted the attention of some ignorant soldiers who just arrived at the camp. They did not expect to find such an alluring woman in wrapped cloth walking around in a military camp.

One of the braver soldiers decided to approach Duna with a lewd gaze before he asked, "Hey beauty, what are you d—"

"Piss off!" Duna spat coldly.

The soldier's gaze irked her greatly.

At the same time, the soldier's courage instantly vaporized under Duna's cold gaze.

His face paled like his soul had just been plunged into the lowest level of frozen hell while his body shook with trepidation and fear.

"S-So sorry for bothering you!"

After falling flat on his rear, the soldier quickly turned tail and ran.

Another group of soldiers by the campfire witnessed the scene and laughed before shaking their heads wryly shortly after.

"That guy must be tired of living or something to try and hit on Miss Duna. Does he not know that she is a ghost?" A soldier muttered.

However, another soldier's gaze quickly clouded with doubt.

"Strange, but Miss Duna doesn't really look like a ghost anymore. Instead, she appears more human now despite possessing this ethereal beauty and feel I can't quite describe..."

"Huh? You're right… Miss Duna does seem a bit different from usual…"

The soldiers began breaking into discussions as Duna strolled around the camp to inquire about Leon's location.

…

Meanwhile, Leon arrived at the new forge set up outside of Military City. Duke Ignis and a few blacksmiths could be seen at the location, but no work was currently in progress.

"Father-in-law," Leon greeted Ignis upon his arrival.

"Ah, Leon!" Duke Ignis cracked a smile at Leon with pleasant surprise, thinking how nice it was for this future son-in-law to visit him.

But upon recalling the previous matter, Duke Ignis's smile quickly faded before his gaze turned fierce, "You little rascal, Don't think—"

"Everyone seems quite idle around here…" Leon interrupted.

"Eh? Yeah…a bunch of materials was lost during the battle between the Paragons. And with the current Great Wall like this, we are unsure what we need to make right now," Duke Ignis explained seriously before—

"Oh? That's great. Actually, I have tons of materials on me right now," Leon quickly said before Duke Ignis could bring up the previous matter again.

Shortly after, he added, "With the current growths of the soldiers in Body Cultivation—father-in-law included, you all need more powerful weapons to match your growing physical strength."

"That's true, but we don't have any spare material for that. All the alloys are in high demand for the new capital construction right now…" Duke Ignis stated with furrowed brows.

However, Leon waved his hand, and an endless amount of ancient bones poured out from his Worldspace.

"Alloys can't be used, but what about these? They are perfect materials for weapon crafting and very conducive for rune engraving," Leon stated before Duke Ignis's eyes widened in surprise.

"Where did you get all of this?"
