Chapter 582: Devil Spirit Body (1/2)

Outside of Duna's big tent, two soldiers guarded the entrance faithfully and vigilantly.

Achoo!

One of the two soldiers suddenly sneezed while the other had cold shivers.

”I wonder who we are guarding inside… why does it suddenly feel so cold all of a sudden?” One of the soldiers spoke while rubbing his nose.

”I heard it's the spirit that follows His Highness around. You know… the one that was rumored to be the evil ghost that haunted Lost Isle Alley back in the Capital some hundred years ago…” The other soldier said.

”Huh? That's kind of spooky…” The soldier was startled before he spoke with curiosity, ”I wonder how His Highness was able to tame the spirit to become docile?”

Suddenly, the temperature dropped even further before the two soldiers heard a woman's voice that sounded like the devil's whisper, ”Who did you say tamed who?”

The two soldiers immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

Duna walked out of the tent with a white cloth wrapped around her body like a dress. Her fair skin emitted a soft luster that faded shortly after.

A chilling sensation surrounded the two soldiers.

However, they quickly realized it was not a change in the temperature but the aura being emitted by the person that seemed to freeze their very souls with fear.

”Uh… we were just speaking irresponsibly. Please don't kill me…” One of the soldiers said as he felt Duna's smooth fingers traced along the veins of his neck.

His body trembled, but at the same time, he was startled inside his heart.

Although there was no warmth in Duna's fingers, the sensation the soldier was receiving was no different from human flesh.

'Wasn't this person suppose to be a ghost?' The soldier questioned in his mind with shock.

Shortly after, Duna retracted her hand before she snorted, ”Your jobs are done here. You can scram now.”

”Y-Yes! Thank you, Miss Duna!” The soldiers quickly spoke before scurrying off like they had just seen a ghost—no, a devil!

Sometime later, the two soldiers were gone from sight.

Duna raised her hand towards the sky and glanced at the moonlight shining on it without passing through before she silently mused, 'Unexpectedly, I was able to completely forged the outer shell of my Devil Spirit Body.'

'To think that True Grandmist Energy still exists in this world and has yet to vanish completely… or did Leon brought back its existence? That person is truly an enigma, filled with surprises…' Duna licked her lips.

She could hardly contain her thirst and wanted more.

'Just now, I had a strong urge to kill those two soldiers and suck their blood dry…' Duna quickly frowned in thought.

'Now that first step of building my corporeal body is complete, I am no longer considered a spirit.'

Although it was just the outer layer, Duna became entirely physical without any transparency like an average person—and not some glass vase like before.

But with this change, she was now something akin to an undead. A constant thirst for the blood of the living now burns within her unless she is satiated.

Shortly after, Duna glanced down at the cloth she wrapped around her before she mused, ”I need to find some proper clothes too…”

”I should go find Leon.” Duna quickly decided before heading off to look.
