Chapter 163 - Fragment Anomaly (1/2)
And so, after getting warned by Cyanotype, MF took her time to search for a compatible lesser fragment that may or may not become the main root like how the 'Redcap' does.
”Say, Cyanotype, what is the chance for the lesser Fragment to survive as the main roots?”
Cyanotype floated around as she tried to calculate the probability based on her own process creation. ”Sarara~ depends on the main roots, if it's Single Type then the chance would be nonexistent as they aren't strong enough to compete with the Higher Fragments that were based on higher beings like gods and primordial deities and the like.
”Although, the lesser fragment will one-hundred-percent survive if the Occult Seed turns out to be Dual or Triple Main Roots Type, as the lesser fragments act as the stabilizer.” Cyanotype shrugged. ”All of these assumptions are based on my experience of being created. It would probably be different depending on the user~”
”Fufufu, that is quite an interesting theory.” MF then realized something. ”Do you know factors that affect the result of the main root type?”
”Hmm, I'll say soul's strength and soul's condition. By theory, someone with a higher constitution and perception could get a better main root.”
As they scoured the infinite amount of codex tiles, MF found a few couple candidates that could fit with her wife and the other Higher Fragments.
After more calculation to seek what was the best for Foel, MF and Cyanotype agreed that they should get an undead type lesser fragment.
”Knowing that the lesser fragment will play in the role of supporting the higher fragment, an undead type would probably amplify the symbolism of death that is protruded by the 'Yama' Fragment.” MF sneered.
It might be just a little detail that they found but the 'Hastur' Fragment that MF used for Cyanotype was worth higher than those gods and goddesses incarnation.
In the case of the current progress of Foel's Occult Seed concoction, 'Yama' was the clear survivor of the bunch. It was the same feeling when Hastur's Fragment enticed her. Seemed like 'Yama' wanted to be affiliated with the sassy mouse.
”Cyanotype, is by any chance, that you're connected to the original being of the fragment?”
”Tatara~ that information is not negotiable.”
MF giggled. ”Thought so.”
After more scouring, they found an abnormal Fragment Codex that fit within their criteria.
[ Kaleidoscope Codex 97589100# Subject: Occult Seed Fragment
Occult Template: Kyonshi | Jiangshi
Divinity Soulbond: Stiff Corpse of Vampirism;
It kills living creatures to absorb their qi, or life force, usually at night, while during the day, it rests in a coffin or hides in dark places such as caves.
Occult Phantasm Affinity: Unrecorded ]
”Weird.”
”Really weird.”
The first codex that had two of the same meaning for the occult template. Whether it was an error or just a rare phenomenon, Cyanotype predicted that it won't really affect much unless those two versions of the same folklore have something that differentiate them clearly.
Cyanotype hovered over MF's head. ”Are you sure you want to scour for more?”
”I've already told everything that needed to be done for the sect to the Elders. Ki would immediately go back to her duty of espionage, the rest would be the same until a few more days where the disciples are ready to take their first lesson. Fufufu.”
”Any plan on giving the Occult Seeds to your disciples?”
”For now, not quite.” MF tapped the new codex tiles and scanned them instantly before doing the next, simultaneously while talking. ”I don't want the Occult Kaleidoscope to be uncovered yet, and trusting those disciples of this gigantic scale facility is definitely not within my definition of smart.”
It seemed like there was a pattern for the wave of spiraling codex tiles to appear from an undead-related fragment. Utilizing this pattern, MF and Cyanotype were able to increase their searching efficiency through the roof.
They had probably wasted more than 10 hours inside of the Occult Kaleidoscope, meaning that 5 hours had passed in the real world as they opened the Kaleidoscope from MF's Divine Domain.
The relentless pursuit came to a decisive end for the day, as MF stumbled upon a rarity that could truly be deemed as an anomaly.
[ Kaleidoscope Codex 44444444# Subject: Occult Seed Fragment
Occult Template: Eien no Kyonshi | Jiangshi | Dark Knight | Soul Reaper
Divinity Soulbond: Not Accessible
Occult Phantasm Affinity: Unrecorded ]
The codex tile emitted constant jet-black spark while continuously creating a deadly fire around it. Despite that, the turbulent electricity wasn't conducted to her nor did the fire as it immediately disappeared when MF reached for it.
