Chapter 1793 Finding Minerva

Chapter 1793 Finding Minerva

The Soul Imprint Seed swiftly germinated within Rolce, seamlessly merging with the vessel's original soul and gaining complete control of the body.

This process resembled demonic possession but with a slight twist.

It meant that Eren didn't have to expel Rolce's soul from his body to take control; nor did he need to fuse the Soul Imprint and Rolce's soul into a singular being.

Thus, additional steps like adding Simbelmyne Flowers and Astral Projection Potion into the process were unnecessary, unlike Eliza's approach in the Lazarus Project with the help of Leela and Layla.

Of course, Eliza, in a way, ended up being possessed by Lady Zee's consciousness anyway because of Eren's silent intervention in the Lazarus Project.

One could say that Eren had developed a lot of expertise for his Rank in dealing with matters related to the souls.

As for the pseudo-avatars AKA the perma-clones?

Rolce's identity would remain the same for outsiders. He would be possessed by Eren's Soul Imprint, turning him into Eren's pawn.

Firstly, Rolce would not be detected as demonically possessed because Eren had a genuine soul unlike the demons. Secondly, Soul Imprint wasn't something one could detect using traditional means.

It took a while for Eren's Soul Imprint to establish its dominance over Rolce's soul and put his consciousness to sleep, snatching all the control from the resident soul.nove(l)bi(n.)com

The new Rolce opened his eyes for the first time in months, now being controlled by Eren's will.

"Aaaargh! This headache," Rolce got on his two feet and clutched his head from both sides in frustration. He pushed the original Eren aside and walked past him, trying to find some breathing room.

"Bear with it," Eren said to the new Rolce as he followed him. "It'll only last for a few minutes," he said reassuringly.

"Here you go," Eren tossed a space-element wooden box containing a large stalk of Stellar Sativa Sticks. He knew that his clones would have the same habits as him and would need some smokes before commencing their long journeys for him.

Thankfully, Kayara and the subordinates under her had worked wonders in producing Stellar Sativa in the last few years. Additionally, they were also responsible for producing other herbs and raw ingredients Eren needed in his potioneering experiments.

Rolce caught Eren's gift effortlessly before drawing out a Stellar Sativa stick. He tossed it towards his mouth and lit it up with a snap of his fingers. Taking a long drag and exhaling the smoke through his nostrils, Rolce felt the effects of the Stellar Sativa soothing his soul and body at the same time.

Rolce's eyes were red, and he suppressed the urge to cough. Even if it was Eren's Soul Imprint, the body was Rolce's, and he did not smoke after all. As such, his body was only beginning to get accustomed to Eren's habits.

"Alright. Let me hear it. What do I have to do?" Rolce asked as he released another cloud of smoke through his mouth. Eren pondered for a bit before responding.

"Find Minerva and get the recipe for Borrowed Might potions from her," Eren commanded his pseudo-avatar in a serious tone. "You know how to contact Meeli. She'll take you to her," he said while tossing another scroll towards Rolce.

Meeli was Sage Minerva's homunculus who had been set free to find the latter in Labh Salem after the complete form of the legacy was successfully passed down to Lensa. Eren didn't know how to find Minerva, but he had recently found out about Meeli, who had found her way inside Labh Salem.

"Makes sense. I'm technically a Potioner after all," Rolce stored the scroll Eren had given him in his Inventory before standing on his two feet. He dusted off his posterior before turning around.

"See you when I see you."

Eren said to Eren.

In the next moment, a cloud of flame surrounded Rolce before he seemingly disappeared into thin air.

AN: Eren proposes to meet Sage Minerva in chapter 1458. Borrowed Might potions were explained in chapter 1457 and used in the Lazarus Project.
