Chapter 202 Flavor
"Here's my partner… He's a Ghost Spirit and I call him Reaper." Felisa said before Vale could even show his Dark Spirit.
Felisa used her bracelet to summon out the Ghost Spirit. The Ghost was illusory and had a figure of a tough middle-aged man. Its eyes were completely white and it also held an illusory scythe that fits perfectly for his name.
Vale then noticed that from the Ghost's knees to its feet, it turned from being illusory into a cloudy state… He couldn't help but think that the Ghost was incomplete. It wasn't like the Dark Spirit with complete bodies.
In his opinion, the Ghost Spirit seems like a better version of his Ghost Hand Spell since it could simply show its other body parts.
He looked at the Ghost for a few more seconds before gently nodding at the Spirit. After confirming that the Ghost Spirit was simply floating around Felisa, Vale also urged Yvaine to come out.
As soon as she came out, Felisa's eyes widened as she gasped in surprise…
"Beautiful…"
Felisa commented as she saw Yvaine. Unlike Lotus, Yvaine doesn't seem to like hiding in his shadow cloak.
Currently, Yvaine is showing her full figure and floating about 2 centimeters off the ground. Although she's also illusory like the Ghost Spirit, she has more solidness on her figure as she stands there like a female assassin waiting for an order.
Like Vale's first impression of her, Felisa thought Yvaine looked similar to a dark witch instead.
"Ahem… I'm going to use this Magnifying Glass to observe her… Is that alright?" Felisa asked as she pulled out an antique-looking magnifying glass.
"Will it harm her?" Vale asked.
"No. Actually, you can try and use it first to observe my Ghost Spirit. It's a lot easier to explain if you tried it." Felisa replied as she gestured to Vale to take the magnifying glass.
Vale hesitated momentarily before he checked the item under his Phantasm State. He then noticed a black orb of energy coming from it, and based on what he learned, the black orb of energy was similar to Dark Magic and could be anything.
Nevertheless, he didn't find any harmful aura inside the magnifying glass so it must be a low-level Mystical Item.
Without wasting any more time, Vale accepted the item and used it to observe the Ghost Spirit.
After a few seconds, he realized that this magnifying glass was actually an appraisal tool!
With this item, he was able to see the amount of energy that was hidden in their bodies. The magnifying glass can also help him locate the contractor of the Spirit he was appraising.
With the help of the magnifying glass, he can see the unique connection between the Ghost Spirit and Felisa through a tiny black thread that binds them together.
It was a pity that this item is only effective on Spirits or, perhaps, Supernatural Beings.
"Interesting… I can tell that the aura I'm seeing is the Ghost's Spiritual Energy. However, I'm also seeing some fluctuation of red energy coming from the Ghost. It's different from the Spiritual Energy... What was that?" Vale asked as he returned the item to Felisa.
Felisa smiled at the question as she replied. "It's the Ghost's Magic Zone…"
Vale's eyes lit up after hearing this. It makes sense that the Spirit also has its own magic zone. After all, they need to have a specific "magic range" in order to know whether their spells or abilities can reach their target.
"So it was like that… In that case, the Ghost Spirit Magic Zone is about three meters." Vale muttered.
"Yes… That also means that my Magic Zone is three meters longer..." Felisa replied.
Vale nodded at this answer since he knew that contracted Ghost Spirit could not leave their summoner's Magic Zone.
However, now that he thinks about it, he never asked his Dark Spirit whether they could leave his Magic Zone. It was a problem he had never thought of, so he didn't bother asking Lotus or Yvain about it.
'Yvaine… Are you capable of leaving my Magic Zone?' Vale suddenly asked using their unique connection.
'Yes.' Yvaine replied as if her words were so expensive.
Vale wasn't too surprised as Yvaine wasn't really bound to him.
"Can I touch your Ghost Spirit?" Vale suddenly asked.
"Of course… Just don't cast any spells as the Ghost might react."
"Got it." Vale nodded as he approached the Ghost Spirit… He then tried touching the Ghost's body only to feel nothing. It felt like he was touching a cold mist.
"It's Spirit… Unless Reaper is using a Dark Ability or you're using a Mystical Tool, you won't be able to touch it with your bare hands."
Vale smiled at this but he didn't reply. After all, he received a notification from his system the moment his hands occupied the space where the Ghost was floating.
[ Spiritual Being has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
This notification had also disappeared after a few seconds since he retracted his hands but Vale was already satisfied.
'So I can also extract Spirits… I wonder if they'll die the moment I extract them.' Vale mused. He was excited to try his system's new power but it was not easy since he wasn't sure whether his extracted Human or Spirit would perish.
He has to be careful about this, or else, he might commit a crime.
Even if he wasn't afraid to kill, he at least has to do it secretly, and the target of extraction must deserve to be extracted.
His conscience won't allow him to extract innocent people or innocent Ghosts.
Soon, Felisa used the Magnifying Glass to observe the Dark Spirit in detail. After about five minutes, Felisa was finally satisfied as she allowed Vale to check the corpses in their collection.
The Clubroom has a huge freezer at the back and it was meant to preserve food… However, besides the ingredients was a stack of corpses which made Vale vow not to eat the food made by this club.
Although they were using some sort of seal or formation art to ensure that the 'flavor' of the dead won't go to the food ingredients, he still felt uncomfortable about it.
