The Primal Blood Demonic Dragon

"Spit out what seal!" His voice tone became quite sharp seeing Musa’s shocked expression.

’Damn! What to do. Should i tell him about his past life before previous life. That person only tasked me to break all seals on his soul, she never forbid me to explain him about circumstances before his memory returns.’ Musa considered what to do but he almost got frightened to soul wiped out from his next words.

"Who is this ’She’?" His tone is still sharp but volume decreased since from Musa’s words and through soul wisp of Musa in his captivity, he could feel Musa doesn’t have any ill intent.

’Uhh! It’s over.’

"That master."

Even though those words escaped his lips Musa still hesitated ’Would he himself even believe those words.’

"Stop thinking and spit out quickly." Gin summoned a grey mass of energy in front of him.

Seeing that Musa knew he is dead serious and already on the edge to annihilate him if he makes any mishap.

"I will talk, i will talk master, please put my soul wisp away."

Gin sent it back in his soul. "Spit it!"

"Simply put master’s wife from before two past life sent me along with the mission to help master in break seals on your soul so master can get back his memories from that life."

"Wife? Memories? Could it be those memories from that time of constant memory rewind world?"

"Master already got back some memories?" Musa became dumbfounded since so far he was informed breaking those seals and getting back memories shouldn’t be possible for the current Gin.

"So do you know how i died?"

"Of course, whole universe knew of your tale, The True Eternal Dark Dragon. Master died while protecting his two wives, taking on the sneak attack on their behalf. Even though master already finished every enemy, it was already too late to do anything with master’s terribly damaged soul at that point. So master met his demise."

’Whoa, it’s entirely different. Far different from that memory.’ He thought mystery about that memory will become clear but confusion only got deeper.

"So who put the seals on me?"

"About that, i was informed that on brink of death master used his self created reincarnation technique that will preserve the memories even after reincarnation to reincarnation until he breaks the seals binding them or master’s soul is completely obliterated for any reason."

"Okay, so why were you specially chosen?"

Musa bitterly smiled at that "I wasn’t chosen just circumstances made me. My wife and me, we both are dragonphoenix. We were chased after through years from both clans because of our identity as hybrid of both races. We still preserved like that through years after years hiding, battling whoever came after us since we never were weak to begin and became more stronger as time passed because of adversity.

But everything changed when we had our daughter. She was on constant risk of danger with enemies on our tail and we couldn’t also even hid her since she was also a dragonphoenix hybrid herself.

And coincidentally we met Eternal Brandee during our journey who took us under her on condition to be her subordinate and one among us husband or wife have to be ready for her errands outside scope of dragon and phoenix clan’s reach."

"So you were sent in this turn."

Musa shook his head with some bittersweet taste "Mistress wasn’t actually the one to decide on dispatching me for this task. It was my wife and daughter."

Only silence followed as Gin stared at him. "Wow! What did you do to enrage them so much to bring this calamity upon you."

"Well master, i am actually innocent. It’s just both my wife and daughter through years living under her protection, hidden in her private land bonded pretty well like sister and niece. So when they heard from mistress about master’s soul signature not being able to pinpoint even through far distance universe edge and even outside of it. They both volunteered me to be dispatched to find master and also warned to never return unless master is found.

Mistress had also just left her close door cultivation recently and not being to feel master’s soul, she investigated through her channels and found out master just had met tragic death recently, not even living more than hundred years after very first reincarnation. And last person to deal with you had felt your soul leaving outside the boundary of universe.

So my soul was sealed in this dragon bracelet. Which was transformed from master’s full corpse, able to reach the remaining part through the connection between both. Which is soul."

"So this bracelet was means to find me and you were adviser sent along to help me."

"Yes, master."

"So where is this seal and how do i break them?" Finding no falsehood till now from his words, he choose to believe the statements for now.

"Does master know about soul consciousness having several layers for separate uses?"

"Yes, old dragon had mentioned previously."

"So it is easier, master’s memories are in fourth, which is last layer. With nine seals on top of each one."

"How do i even access fourth layer."

"It can’t be explained master, it varies from person to person. Since first two layer is easily accessible to any soul at supreme realm, next layers have no pattern as even very few can go beyond second layer."

"So what use do you even have." Immediately he summoned the soul wisp of Musa.

"Don’t master, this servant specialises in array upto peak grandmaster rank. Have experience in training assassin squads and also knows many tricks for soul combat."

Gin stared at him for a moment with soul wisp floating in front of him.

Tension loomed around them as Musa anxiously looked at him, feeling cold feet with passing moment.

"You know Musa."

"Ye... yes master." Even his voice cracked from agitation.

"You can’t take jokes." Abruptly soul wisp disappeared.

’Who would even joke about their own death!’

"Anyways go on, burn yourself." He lost interest seeing Musa so scared. "Oh, and one more thing. No one must know about this conversation ever even happened."

"Understood, master."

"Not even that mistress of yours."

"That master." Musa hesitated in agreeing.

"Don’t worry, only until i confirm myself about everything." He stopped him from continuing on.

Musa agreed understanding this kind of sudden news will take time to digest and to make even sense.

Musa floated back few steps right at the edge of pond. His soul set ablaze as very core essence of soul burned as fuel to his metamorphosis.

At the same time Gin also took a material, using inner core energy refined to the purest form while removing impurities to very last amount.

Finished processing he directed the liquid substance to the soul essence vortex surrounding Musa that is aging him in reverse.

Even though astounding sight, he didn’t focus on observing. Only kept refining one at a time for much longer.

Stopping at hundredth he looked at the small hill that have barely decreased in size.

"Warmup is over, time to increase the number."

Two Flame source fruit floating inside transparent colourless core energy could be seen transforming visibly as it shrank and changing shape as white harmful impurities got annihilated just after its appearance.

This tenth try is also quite effortless.

"Next three.".....

Three wood source fruit floated within colourless core energy as it destroyed impurities all together.

Not effortless as before but still easy for him on this fifth try.

Huuu! Exhaling deep breath he meditated to recover since core has only ten percent energy left.

Third try with four earth source fruit together.

Little hard but manageable.

First try five water source fruit.

Five blue oval fruits floated in front of him in circular ring inside colourless energy.

Sweat dripped down from forehead as he focused hard in controlling them all together in refining and extracting impurities.

Soon refinement finished as all impurities have been removed, five blue sphere of liquid didn’t decrease in size nor anything came out from them anymore as they only stayed afloat.

He looked at the small of materials.

"Mostly from F grade to B grade materials with some A rank. And Musa’s request, also A+ source fruits. So total days of work or week." He nodded continuously while scanning them to calculate the time needed.

He directed the five refined elemental source inside soul essence vortex.

Six days later, finishing every material except one he took rest to restore energy.

"Now only left to remove lingering soul energy from this carcass." Which isn’t really difficult for his powerful soul.

Restoring energy storage to full capacity, he sat cross-legged in front of the carcass.

Transparent grey energy traveled from his forehead through the carcass as he started eliminating every soul fragments still lingering on the body despite no existence of soul present anymore.

He could have absorbed the soul fragments to improve his soul even in slightest but refrain from doing so since soul is already too hight grade enough for his other aspects.

Eliminating every fragment he controlled the body toward vortex. Body didn’t vanish inside immediately after coming in contact with burning soul essence but slowly started transforming. Flesh drew out from over skeleton with skin but didn’t disappear, floated around in vortex as form of pure essence. Blood, blood essence also disappeared along but it turned into separate red liquid floating along the edge to traveling inside vortex and vanishing.
