The chill that pierced Nerphyl's entire body suddenly turned into a burning heat. Starting with the internal organs, then the bones, moving on to the muscles and skin, Nerphyl's body melted.
The pain she was in was indescribable in words. She almost lost consciousness at that moment but Nerphyl gritted her teeth and insisted on experiencing the pain with a cloudy mind. Even so, this process does not last long, but for those who experience it, this process takes a very long time.
This is because Nerphyl's brain tries to process the pain she is experiencing cell by cell. So that every tissue of the body that melted Nerphyl felt it so clearly. Then the pain disappeared...
It was as if she was inside a ball that emitted blue light, or perhaps Nerphyl had turned into a ball of blue light. Around her were various symbols that Moku had previously drawn using his blood.
The symbols slowly turned into tiny particles and were absorbed into Nerphyl's body. Making herself who was now a blue glowing ball even more powerful. She seemed to feel a sense of comfort that made all the pain disappear, Nerphyl wanted to sleep because it was so comfortable but she knew that the Vithaen Possession Art wasn't over yet.
Then without her having to control it, Nerphyl's body was brought into a passage with the symbol of a walking duck. The hallway is filled with symbols of walking ducks on the right and left. Nerphyl's body felt like she was being carried by a cavalcade of symbols of walking ducks.
They seemed to be singing something that Nerphyl didn't understand but their voices were so beautiful that it made Nerphyl feel very excited.

(A/N: Song lyric of Bungong Jeumpah)
The walking duck symbol carried a blue glowing ball until it came to a very high wall with an infinite length. Nerphyl descended from the passage that led her to this place and with that all the symbols of walking duck disappeared.
Nerphyl didn't notice the symbol of walking duck disappearing because the wall in front of her caught her attention. This wall looks like a wall made of flesh covered with skin and furs. Nerphyl knew that the next step was to break through this wall.
But her body was so small and this wall so big. Even Nerphyl had never thought how her tiny fists could scratch this gigantic wall. But Nerphyl continued to advance with full confidence. She knew that the Vithaen Possession Art would not be this simple.
Nerphyl clenched her fists and slammed into the giant wall.
*BOOOMMM!!
And sure enough, the giant wall shook violently. Nerphyl was currently convinced that she only needed a few hits to destroy this gigantic wall. But before she could hit a second time, an extremely dangerous aura emerged from behind the wall. Made Nerphyl's hairs stand on end and forced her to back off.
Then...
Like a giant tsunami, blue energy burst out from behind the wall and pounced at her. Nerphyl knew that she would fall apart when this blue energy hit her. But before Nerphyl could give up, thousands of bamboo shoots tip symbols and bethel leaf symbols appeared.
The two symbols charged toward the blue energy tsunami and formed an umbrella for Nerphyl to take cover. Nerphyl managed to survive the blue energy tsunami under the protection of the bamboo shoots tip symbol and bethel leaf symbol. But the two symbols vibrated violently against the blue energy, indicating that Nerphyl didn't have much time.
She came back forward and clenched her fists. Nerphyl hit the giant wall again with blow after blow. Every blow she gave made the cracks in the giant wall grow bigger and it was only a matter of time before this giant wall collapsed.
*BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM!
Stones made of flesh began to fall from the giant wall. Blood gushed out of every crack that Nerphyl's punch made.
The umbrellas made by the two symbols vibrated violently and thinned out as the blue energy tsunami became more intense.
*BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM!
There was a roar from behind the wall, as if the owner of this wall was angry and scared at the same time. It wanted to attack Nerphyl who was destroying the giant wall but Nerphyl heard the sound of chains holding the creature back.
One by one the bamboo shoots tip symbol and bethel leaf symbol began to crumble. Blue energy entered from the gap opened by the destruction of the symbols. But soon other symbols closed the gap so no blue energy could enter and disturb Nerphyl.
*BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM!
The cracks are getting bigger and have started to make holes due to falling flesh stones. Nerphyl could see what creature was behind this gigantic wall, it was a Mutated Tiger whose whole body was being chained by green energy.
The number of symbols that are destroyed is increasing. Even though the symbols were trying to cover the gap that was created, their decreasing number allowed a few drops of blue energy to enter. A single drop of blue energy managed to hit Nerphyl's skin and like a hot knife touched the butter, Nerphyl's body seemed to melt and a hole formed in her shoulder suppose to be.
Nerphyl gritted her teeth in pain. She hit the giant wall faster and harder. The time she currently had was becoming less and less. Without the protection of the two symbols, Nerphyl's body will melt instantly when hit by blue energy.
*BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM! *BOOM!
With each hit the giant wall was getting shattered. Until when Nerphyl hit with all her might for who knows how many times the giant wall fell down. Blood spurted out from the shattered walls and the Mutated Tiger looked in extreme pain. She roared and rolled around but the green energy chains made her freeze in place.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe blue energy disappeared as did the two symbols. There were only Nerphyl and Mutated Tiger in this place. The next stage is a process that can be said to be The Battle of Soul.
Nerphyl walked over to the Mutated Tiger, her body still in the shape of a ball of blue light already with holes everywhere from the blue energy droplets. Even so, Nerphyl seemed to have the upper hand because of the frightened Mutated Tiger.
Nerphyl inside the blue glowing ball smiled. She had prepared for this for a long time and she was ready to face whatever was to come.
Nerphyl casts the mantra as written in Vithaen Possession Art "Dek Karano Moengkin Makonyo Ado! Dek Karano Ado Makonyo Djadi! My name is Nerphyl of House Kaba sacrificed my soul for the chance to unseal myself! Let me be reborn and become the new being!"
When Nerphyl finished saying that seven chains came out of the blue glowing ball. Like a snake that pounced on, the seven chains slid and coiled around the Mutated Tiger's body. Mutated Tiger wanted to dodge and fight back but the green energy chains that wrapped around her body blocked all of her movement so she could only surrender.
Nerphyl felt her connection with the Mutated Tiger being connected through the chain that emanated from the blue glowing ball. She seemed to see every second of Mutated Tiger's life. The next stage was to draw the Mutated Tiger's soul and devour it but at this moment Nerphyl was stunned.
Mutated Tiger's life is not as complicated as a human's life. Her daily life only revolves around eat-hunt-fight-sleep-repeat but all these things are not something that can be underestimated. The instinct of animals is amazing thing where they can know how to survive even without entering school like ordinary human kids.
But if we look deeper then animal instinct is what makes them an animal. Much of the behavior of animals is incomprehensible to those who think they are smarter. The life of wild animals looks very free but in fact, they themselves are trapped in law, the law of nature.
Nerphyl roared, not a roar that could be heard from a sylph but one that came from the mouth of an animal. Her sanity began to be corroded by the law of nature that existed within the Mutated Tiger's consciousness. Gradually Nerphyl would lose her mind as an intelligent creature and become an animal.
And if that happens, Nerphyl's body will be pulled out of the blue glowing ball and become food for the Mutated Tiger's soul. But Nerphyl wouldn't lose that easily.
"If I were an animal then Moku wouldn't want to have sex with me!" Nerphyl shouted with all her might and defied the laws of nature in the Mutated Tiger's consciousness.
(A/N: He will I think... there are already two deer that have become victims)
With the determination and will she had built up during Tortured, Nerphyl pushed the laws of nature out of her mind. Simultaneously she pulled the Mutated Tiger's soul out of its body.
However, the Mutated Tiger also had the will to live. Even though her body was currently shackled and unable to move, that didn't mean she couldn't fight back.
"ROOAAAARRR!!!"
The Mutated Tiger roared loudly and pulled its soul back into its body. Not only that she also started pulling Nerphyl out of the blue glowing ball.
The tug-of-war between Nerphyl and Mutated Tiger begins.
