Chapter 993: Human Soul

"Can you put me down now? I have to help others become normal."

Even though Ajax shouted at the system, he still followed the system's suggestion and casually asked the Primitive Ape King.

'Nods'

Surprisingly, the Primitive Ape King nodded his head as he put Ajax down on the ground.

Actually, any cultivator or being below the King realm, can't unlock the soul space and they could not access their own soul.

So, whatever the soul sees inside the Soul Space, it can't inform that being until he/she/it unlock the soul space.

However, in the Primitive Ape King's case, his soul was very clever as it left its smell on Ajax's spirit consciousness form. So that, the true body could smell Ajax as one of his own.

Except for Ajax, Master Elek and Nameless cultivator didn't have a single clue about it.

"Good boy."

Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he walked towards his next target.

'...'

'...'

Master Elek and Nameless cultivator were speechless when they saw how calm the Primitive Ape King had become after hearing Ajax's words and looked at Ajax in a new light.

However, Ajax didn't bother with them because he knew what they were thinking in their heads.

'I will just focus on healing others.'

Soon, he reached his second target and it was none other than one of the two humans in the cursed army.

'Enter.'

Since the corroded beings didn't have any intelligence and they didn't have the ability to speak, Ajax didn't bother wasting his breath on them and directly entered into the Soul Space of the first human.

'It looks like every being's soul space looks the same.'

The soul space for the human he had just chosen to enter also looked just like the soul space of the Primitive Ape King.

In the Primitive Ape King's soul space, his soul looked like a small monkey whereas, in the human's soul space, the soul looked like a four year old kid.

'He is crying.'

When he looked at the half-corroded soul in front of him, Ajax could not help but feel something in his heart snapped.

'I need to help him.'

Without wasting anything, Ajax rushed towards the small kid and hugged him with his spirit consciousness form.

'System, absorb the cursed energy while I heal his soul.'

Ajax ordered the system and once he noticed that the cursed energy was leaving the soul, he used the Sacred Astral Energy to heal the soul.

'Aargh'

Just like the Primitive Ape King's soul, the human soul in his arms also started groaning in pain.

'Endure it...you can do it.'

'You have suffered a lot and just endure it for a few minutes and it will be over.'

Even though Ajax didn't know whether the human soul would understand him or not, he hugged the human soul as tightly as possible and at the same time, he tried to motivate the soul just like how the old voice used to encourage him.

'Huf huf'

It took nearly an hour for the human soul in his arms to stop groaning as it fell to the ground while breathing heavily.

'Huf huf'

Even Ajax was tired a lot while healing the soul of the human.

'Ding,

The host spent 5 units of Sacred Astral Energy to heal a soul.

'Ding,

The storage capacity of the Sacred Astral Space is increased by 5 units.

'Ding,

Even though healing other souls will help the host increase his storage capacity of the Sacred Astral Space, the host has to take care of his own soul too.

Soon, Ajax got the system notifications he was waiting for and without wasting any time, he directly left the soul space fearing that the man he had just saved might become like the Primitive Ape King.

Then everyone would think he was different and into men when he was not actually that kind.

'Huh?'

As soon as he came out of soul space, Ajax felt a wave of tiredness hit him that gave him quite a headache for a couple of seconds.

'I will take some rest before healing that woman.'

Ajax had already chosen his third target and it was the woman that was wearing the same fire sword sect uniform.

Even though he didn't have a good impression on the fire sword sect, that doesn't mean he would let them turn into mindless beings.

'Ding,

The system suggests the host take care of his soul. You are almost reaching your limits, host.

While he was thinking of saving the woman after a small break, the system once again sent the warning notification.

'Don't worry. After I save the woman, I will stop healing others for now because I know I can't take the side effects.'

Ajax had already noticed that he took nearly twice the time he used to save the Primitive Ape King's soul.

Moreover, he was feeling tired after each healing session.

So, Ajax knew that he could not do any more healing sessions today after he healed the woman.

He was already pushing himself to save the woman's soul but he felt he needed to do that and push himself. That was the way of the cultivation.

'Even though I can push myself, I should not overpush. So, I will stop after healing her.'

Ajax already set the condition for himself as he looked at the man whom he had just saved.

Just like before, the man was pressed to the ground by the corroded beings.

Soon, changes started appearing in the man's body as he completely turned into a normal being.

'Ding,

+5000 units of Cursed Energy has been collected from the second target.

'What?'

Seeing the amount of cursed energy he got from the first human, Ajax was shocked for a moment before thinking, 'No wonder, it took me a lot of time and made me tiresome.'

After thinking about it, Ajax was no longer shocked as he walked towards the man.
