Chapter 699 Oracle, Hana, And The Elven Princess

Celine didn't bother fighting Nial after he began to wield the spear. She knew that there was no way for her to overwhelm him. Not only was her combat experience insignificant in comparison to Nial's experience, but her physical strength was lower as well.
There was not even the need to mention Nial's One with the Spear state or the fact that Nial could undergo a partial Soul Fusion, the process in which the Familiar enters the Summoner's Mana Core to fuse their bodies to a certain extent, allowing the Summoner to manifest his Familiar's body parts on his body.
This was something that could only be done if both the Summoner and Familiar trusted each other fully and after years of tempering their firm connection.
Most would never be able to create a tight enough Soul Link to initiate a partial Soul Fusion. That was not because they treated their Familiars badly but because the Soul Link had to be extremely firm.
It was difficult for Summoners to focus their attention on only one Familiar. At the same time, it was rare to find Familiars who loved their Masters unconditionally. After all, they had either been abducted from the Monster Dimension or captured in the Monster Dimension.
There were also different options such as establishing a Soul Link with a youngling, or the egg of a Monster or even creating a Soul Link with an already tamed monster, however, there were downsides in that regard as well.
Younglings had to be raised, which also meant that they had hardly any combat experience once they became the Summoner's Familiar. They had to be trained and nourished painstakingly. The exact same applied to unhatched eggs. Of course, there was the additional downside of having to wait until the monster would hatch.
As for already tamed monsters that had been raised in the Shelters of the Monster Dimension, they were docile and not fierce monsters that could fight against other monsters, tearing them apart easily.
Most tamed monsters were not worth being turned into Familiars. Turning tamed monsters into wild Familiars with the necessary strength and wild instincts to fight and protect their master was certainly not easy.
That was also why many chose to bin wild monsters in their Soul Space. It would be hard to keep them under control, but as long as the Summoners had more soul energy than their Familiars, this wouldn't be too much of a problem.
Nial's connection with Goldy was rare. It was not something that could be found easily, especially not since their compatibility is extremely high.
After the combat lesson was canceled due to the lack of students that could keep participating, Nial and Celine left the Academy for the day.
Nial was not too sure what had happened to him, but he felt pretty good. If he were to be honest with himself, wielding the spear and fighting the students allowed him to feel free for the first time in his life. It was not difficult to defeat the students, and Nial didn't enjoy injuring them, but the sensation that had shrouded his entire being in the fight was something that made him feel as if he was doing the right thing.
"I should continue wielding the spear. The sword doesn't make me feel things…" Nial mumbled to himself. Celine cupped her hand in front of her while slowly following the Crown Prince without saying a word.
In recent days, the Crown Prince had been deep in thought more often than usual. Nial Lacardia had always been the kind of person who overthinks everything, however, it got worse in the last few days.
He stared blankly at Celine more often, and clutched his chest in a way that made it seem as if he was searching for something he had lost.
'Heart of Gluttony', 'Elven Princess', 'Hana', 'Oracle', 'Sister', 'Father', and 'Damian'.
Nial often mumbled these words in front of himself. Celine reported all of this to the Empress, but she couldn't make sense of them either. Nial didn't have a sister, and there was no Oracle, let alone an Elven Princess.
In the Lacardia Empyrean Void, most residents were Creatoran. There were other tribes and human races whom they had conquered by now, but the Creatoran race's bloodline was dominant, meaning that they were slowly spreading deep into the lands of their opponents. After all, it was not rare for soldiers to fall in love with beautiful maidens from other tribes and kingdoms.
It was actually quite common, though nobody really knew why that was the case.
Nonetheless, there was no Elven race, no Oracle, and the Empress had never heard of the Heart of Gluttony either.
Her son's daydreams and occasionally weird actions were more than enough reason to worry the Empress. She was not too sure what she was supposed to do about Nial's actions, forget about the One with the Spear state.
He was only seven years old but his achievements were certainly grander than most youngsters would attain in the first few decades of their lives.
That was exceptional and great, under normal circumstances, but it was also more than enough reason for her to worry about him.
Why was her child so unique? Was he planning to get assassinated by their enemies? Couldn't he keep a low profile until he was strong enough to defend himself?
The Empress didn't even want to imagine how much stress their opponents would feel the moment they found out about Nial's One with the Spear state. They would feel pressured and go all-out to kill him.
After all, it might be their last chance.
Nial's growth was dangerously fast, and it didn't look like he would slow down anytime soon. On the contrary, Nial had just entered the starting line.
He was probably planning to increase his strength exponentially in order to make his empire proud and to be a worthy role model.
That thought warmed the Empress' heart but it also pained her a lot. Did they put too much pressure on their child?
'I will send him there. As long as he is with my sisters, he can get stronger without anyone ever finding him!!'
