Chapter 444: Little Cortney

Date- 28 Mar 2321

Time- 18: 23

Location- Sky Blossom City, Dungeon Highway, Barren Lands, Blood Rock Cave Gate Dungeon

I opened my eyes and blinked at the red-skinned Cortney, having caught her staring at me. Seeing my eyelids move, the red-skinned Cortney complained in Bloodette’s voice, “Wyatt, you finally awake? We have been waiting for you.”

It turned out the impatient Bloodette in Cortney’s body was glaring at me. Ignoring her blame-filled glare, I asked, “how long?”

“What, how long?” Red-skinned Cortney asked in Bloodette’s voice in confusion.

“How long have you been waiting? Did you guys refine the soul energy to the required purity already?” I expanded my question, seeing the confused Bloodette unable to answer my question earlier.

“Yes, we refined the soul energy to the required purity. And we have been waiting for you for hours!” Bloodette exaggerated. To her, the wait did indeed feel like hours.

“Bloodette! Don’t exaggerate. It hasn’t been that long. We have only waited for 10 minutes. Umm… 12mins 33 seconds, to be exact.” After Bloodette was finished speaking, the red-skinned Cortney corrected Bloodette in Cortney’s voice.

“Really? But it felt like hours had passed by for me.” The red-skinned Cortney switched to Bloodette’s voice and explained herself.

“Will you two stop it? I’m getting creeped out here. Why are you guys still in one body?” I was creeped out seeing the red-skinned Cortney speak to herself in two different voices, one her original voice and the other being Bloodette’s voice.

“I’m sorry, Wyatt!”

“I like this way!”

Both Cortney and Bloodette answered simultaneously. Hence their voices overlapped as the red-skinned Cortney spoke, which sounded similar to a ghost’s yell. Yet, I understood both of them thanks to my ear’s soul echolocation ability.

“Again! This right here is freaky. Since you have already refined your soul energy to the required purity level, then let’s head to the next step.” I could get used to this red-skinned Cortney. So decided to hurry since the faster Cortney builds her ego gem, the faster this thing is over.

“Okay”

“Great”

They both agreed simultaneously, and once again, I heard a shrill yell.

“Next time, just nod, understood?” I advised the duo to limit their speech as much as possible.

*nods* the red-skinned Cortney nodded twice.

Seeing the duo cooperate so wonderfully, I began explaining the next step in the forging of an ego gem “after refining your soul energy, the next step to forging an ego gem is by finding your ethereal spirit. You can find your ethereal spirit deep in your soul. Close your eyes and try to find it.”

*Nods* the red-skinned Cortney nodded once and yelled in Bloodette’s voice, “I will find it first!”

*sigh* “It’s not a competition.” But my word fell to deaf ears as the red-skinned Cortney closed her eyes, indicating that both Cortney and Bloodette had begun to search for Cortney’s ethereal spirit.

Considering how Bloodette already used blood possession on Cortney’s body, I think she must have already found Cortney’s ethereal spirit or should know its location. After all, only after controlling it can one truly successfully seize an individual’s body. Any minute now, she should be able to find it… unless she did not understand what an ethereal spirit is.

Time passed, and neither of them could find the ethereal spirit. As I suspected, Bloodette did not know what an ethereal spirit was.

“Wyatt, I could find the ethereal spirit. How did you find yours?” Cortney thought of learning from my experience.

“Give me more time. I will find it.” Bloodette complained that she did not have enough time.

‘Fock! Somebody, please tell her there is no time limit.’ Hearing Bloodette’s excuse, my eyes twitched. Yet I maintained a calm expression and asked, ” Bloodette, at any point of the time did you find a little Cortney sleeping inside Cortney’s soul? ”

“Yes, I did. She is so adorable. I could bring myself to disturb her sleep.” Bloodette narrated her encounter with Cortney’s ethereal spirit.

“You idiot, that is my ethereal spirit we are supposed to find. Don’t tell me I had to waste so much time soul searching just because you did not understand what an ethereal spirit is supposed to be?” Red-skinned Cortney yelled in Cortney’s voice.

“Hehe, my bad.” Bloodette brushed off her mistake with a shameless laugh.

“No harm done, Bloodette led Cortney to little Cortney. And Cortney, after you see your ethereal spirit try making contact with it. Even waking her up works.” I instructed Cortney and Bloodette on what they were supposed to do next.

Filling my instructions, Bloodette’s consciousness led Cortney’s Consciousness to the ethereal spirit. Cortney tried to make contact with her ethereal spirit but to no avail.

“Wyatt, I saw my ethereal spirit, but I cannot make contact with it. It is as if the ethereal spirit cannot hear me, or is it deaf. Don’t tell me my ethereal spirit is deaf.” Cortney reported in panic.

“No, it is not deaf. It will take time for it to hear your voice and for you to hear its voice. This part would have been more accessible if you had found the ethereal spirit yourself instead of taking a shortcut. But do not worry, I have a shortcut for this step too.

Bloodette, follow Cortney to little Cortney and intimidate it with a tiny bit of your bloodlust. That should wake her up, and Cortney, you go to her rescue. This time she will listen to you.” Hope Bloodette knows to hold back her bloodlust. Otherwise, I am afraid she will give Cortney’s ethereal spirit a big heart attack and kill it in its sleep instead of waking it up.

Cortney and Bloodette approached the ethereal spirit. Thankfully Bloodette found little Cortney too cute and could not bring herself to bombard it with her full bloodlust and held back. Which was enough to wake it up, and in fright, it went to Cortney for help. In the end, everything worked out as planned.
