'[For the first step, place the core around the center of her chest. Make sure it above the abdomen and somewhere around the line of the lower curvature of her breast line.]'
Aiden nodded at the instruction, following it to the letter. As the small pear-sized dark crystal was placed at its designated spot, Enya continued with the steps.
'[Okay, so far, so good. However, now comes the hard part and the reason we truly needed to come to this place, where your, or to be more exact, the system's commands are absolute.]'
She spoke with an increasingly stern, more serious tone. She paused for a breath's time before explaining further.
'[What we need to do now will be done in two parts. Make sure you don't hesitate and follow my words to the letter as we will not have a second shot at this!]'
Without hesitation, Aiden nodded, giving a mental confirmation to the guide.
'Yes, do not worry, I will not fail your expectations!'
However, before they could continue, Aiden just noticed the approaching welcome committee. Frowning, he looked at them, raising his free, left hand in the air.
His eyes instantly flared up, his voice was deep and thunderous, shaking the surrounding ground itself as he roared at them.
"Stop, don't come here! I need space, and silence for what I'm about to do! Tell your elders that once I'm done I will visit them!"
The scouting party, consisting of a quartet of orcs and the two goblins instantly fell on their knees under the powerful thunderous bellow, pushing their heads to the ground. Their bodies violently shaking they dare not to make any move.
Surprisingly, it was one of the little goblins at the front that spoke up.
"Please don't take offense in our actions, Oh Great One! My men were instructed to make sure to welcome you if you happen to grace us with your benevolent presence!" He cried out in a muffled squeamish voice, as his face was pushed hard on the ground.
Aiden looked curiously at the group, a small smile piqued from beneath his stern expression as he realized the nature of their group's hierarchy.
'Heh, a goblin is now the leader of a group of orcs? That's not something you see every day… It seems they have started to leave behind the grievances of the past, and are really starting to act as a single unit.' He remarked inwardly.
Still, he kept his serious, somber outward appearance as he gazed at the 6-man party.
"Do not be afraid, I would gladly go with you in any other circumstances, but for what I need to do now, I need to be left alone. Go back to your leaders and tell them to not disturb me under any circumstances!"
This time, each member of the party vehemently nodded at the order, hitting their heads into the ground in the process, and loudly exclaimed.
"Yes, Great One!"
"At your command!"
"At your will, Benevolent God!"
As the little disturbance was resolved, Enya's voice finally arrived, explaining the steps Aiden needed to take.
'[Okay… Now that we are alone again, Aiden, for the next step, you will need to do something that you are definitely not ready yet: You need to use your Divinity, and temporarily the Laws of Nature and Laws of Causality.]'
Hearing her description, Aiden immediately grew worried. What was up with those instructions? He didn't even understand her words, much less following them!
Before his worries could grow further and blossom into despair, Enya spoke again, explaining further.
'[I know you are worried because you don't have the necessary knowledge or experience yet. Still, you need not worry, just focus your attention on the system's screen for a bit. Remember you have a special screen for these matters. Select the crystal, and focus on the 'Merge' option that will appear next. Focus on the body next and then allow the system to start the procedure.]'
Without thinking, Aiden quickly brought up the System's screen. As the semi-transparent image of the top-down view of the surrounding land appeared before his eyes, he focused on the black, hollow crystal.
As soon as he did, a new message window appeared above it.
The displayed message caused him to raise an eyebrow at the screen, as the text that appeared was barely readable.
[!? %)u ÷×[=in?! *ith merge?]
Still, as per the instruction that Enya gave, he focused his will on it, without hesitation.
Once he did, the message disappeared, allowing him to continue with the instructions and focus his attention on Number 3's lifeless body next.
Once again, as Number 3's body was selected on the screen, just like before another message popped up, floating atop the imagery.
Just like previously, most of this text was also weird, just a bunch of garbled junk put together. Still, it seemed to be a question, with two options below to 'Confirm' and 'Decline' flashing with green and red respectively.
Though Aiden was slightly confused about the peculiarity of what was happening, as such behavior was quite unlike from the system at all. Still, whatever was going on, it was roughly following along the words of Enya, so while pushing the matter to the back of his head, Aiden selected the former, watching with apt attention as the screens faded away in the next instant one after another without any command from him.
Before his mind could wander off again, and question what was going on exactly, Enya's words came to Aiden's mind again. Her tone was strict, leaving no room for questions.
'[Next, focus on the crystal. As soon as you feel the system's change taking effect, start pushing the crystal down against her chest, with a gradually increasing force. Also, make sure that as you do it, you start injecting your own [Soul Power] into the empty crystal. Don't fill it up completely, but you have to give it enough that together with all that's inside this woman's body, the crystal would fill up.]'
Aiden, showed a concerned, worried expression yet again, not sure what to look out for exactly. What would the "system's changes" be like? What should he look for? Auditory or perhaps visual feedback? A sensation inside his mind, body, or even deeper, the soul?
What did that even mean?!
Then, even if by some miracle he would recognize the signal, how would he know how much energy he should transfer over to the crystal? How much can it even take? He never did anything similar, everything was way too convoluted, Aiden couldn't understand anything!
Amidst his silent, internal conflict suddenly he felt it. A peculiar, unmistakable feeling, deep inside his Soul World. He felt it, instantly knowing that this was it. It was unlike anything, similar to suddenly realizing or understanding something. As if a new thought emerged inside his mind, but at the same time, it was not a product of his brain, but coming from somewhere else.
Even though Aiden didn't know what to look out for, as soon as it happened, he instantly understood it.
Immediately, not even bothering to wait for a confirmation from Enya, the golden glow surrounded Aiden's connecting right hand and the dark crystal at the same time.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
'[For the first step, place the core around the center of her chest. Make sure it above the abdomen and somewhere around the line of the lower curvature of her breast line.]'
Aiden nodded at the instruction, following it to the letter. As the small pear-sized dark crystal was placed at its designated spot, Enya continued with the steps.
