The Copy Mage

Chapter 190: Copying Clay's Soul Spirit Part 1

After everything that Damian had thought about and Utsusu had told him, he was eager to start moving forwards and progressing and since the Inner Academy Examinations were coming up along with the Akegria Academy Tournament 6 months after that, Damian had to increase his power as much as possible.

Becoming a Core Student wasn't something that enticed Damian much, as it would draw a lot of attention to himself and eventually the Maxwell Family would recognise who he was and see him and his mother as a traitor.

But at the same time, he didn't care about the Maxwell Family and what they had to say and the resources and prestige that came with being a Core Student had many advantages.

All these thoughts were running through his mind and Damian's ambitious, adventurous and curious nature were all eager to begin exploring and increasing his power and knowledge even further.

His desire for success seemed insatiable and with his unlimited potential, all he needed to do was work hard.

Taking out the container with the blood of the royal academy student that had the Soul Spirit that used the Earth Element, Damian excitedly opened it.

The area around them already had a strong smell of blood, so Damian didn't smell much coming from it and all he could hope was that the blood still had the Soul Spirit registered within it.

It was unusual that he required blood and although he was taught that everyone's blood contained their bloodline and genetics that were a key part of the formation of their Soul Spirit, it wasn't looked into in detail by cultivators.

Taking out his copy book for the first time in a long time, since he didn't have a use for it and would activate his Maxwell Fire Soul Spirit through Utsusu, rather than revealing his secret.

What Damian didn't like about the copy book was that taking it out of his dantian was very flashy and there were flashes of energy around the thick, silver book in his hand, while it also caused quite a shocking disturbance in the energy in the area.

Luckily for them, there weren't any powerful beasts roaming in the area and the area that was affected was quite small.

Instantly as soon as he took out his copy book, the Monkey Beast stopped what it was eating before jumping away from Damian.

In its bright orange eyes, Damian could see fear and intimidation, but also reverence and awe as it looked at the copy book with amazement in its eyes.

{Just like I thought, this Monkey Beast really was able to sense how amazing Damian was. His current capability is very much above average and he is on par with most of the rising stars of the new generation, but he is still behind quite a few of them and is nothing too shocking. For such an amazing beast to want to partner up with Damian and would go to the extent of saving his life twice and serving him, it must have been able to see his future potential} said Utsusu to himself.

Damian gave the Monkey Beast a reassuring smile, but also signalled for it to keep away from him as he was unsure what exactly would happen to him while acquiring the new Soul Spirit.

{Just like before, pour the blood onto a second page of the copy book with the intention of copying the Soul Spirit within that bloodline, while also pouring your mind, will power and soul into the copy book} instructed Utsusu.

{The assistance you have from me this time is not much and you will need to prepare yourself to subdue this Soul Spirit that will be on par or even harder than that of the Maxwell Fire Soul Spirit} warned Utsusu as Damian dripped the small amount of blood onto the second page of the book.

The blood was mixed with a small amount of his saliva since he had to suck the blood out of the tree and there was also only a small amount, but it was still enough as he felt his soul be sucked out of his body.

As soon as that occurred, he felt himself appear in a dark space that was similar to his mindscape, but instead felt more real as he pinched himself and found that he could still feel pain, which was unusual.

"It feels as though my body is here, but I know that my body isn't here. That doesn't matter right now, I need to take down this Soul Spirit and make sure it submits to me and becomes swallowed up by the copy book" mumbled Damian to himself.

[I am the invincible copy mage] he kept repeating to himself within his mind as he began moving around in the dark space while on high alert and prepared to fight.

He was expecting some sort of ancestor or originator of the Soul Spirit to appear just like it was with the Maxwell Fire Soul Spirit, but what he saw next was shocking.

The spirit of Clay's Soul Spirit was something that didn't seem very human and yet had facial features that seemed to be that of a human.

The figure that stood before Damian was extremely short, even when compared to him, but despite the figure's height, it had a very blocky and muscular body and had an unusually large head.

It wore weird clothing that looked very heavy and thick and had a thick, rough beard along with a large helmet on its head that had two horns sticking out of it.

Damian instantly thought that whatever it was before him would be hostile and would wish to fight him and take over his body and he stood with his fists up and was prepared to fight.

He already knew that in the place he currently was, willpower, spirit, drive and determination were what gave him power and what he needed to take down the spirits of the Soul Spirits.
