Chapter 938
As I let go of my control, and the miasmic soul burst forth from my body, and then headed straight to the giant, slamming into her. She took the hit, even backing up a step. For a giant her size to be pushed back, the force could be imagined. She let out a grunt, and then her eyes closed and her body started to glow. A mixture of light and miasma flowed around her body in concentric circles, and exploded out, sending waves of power echoing around the boss chamber.
Thankfully, this was the perfect place to contain such power. Carmine put up a defensive shield to protect us from being buffeted by the power, while the giant in the center of the room started to change. No one watched her more closely than Elaya. While she didn’t have any clue what was happening, Xin had been her friend, and that giant had been the last fragment of a friend she had lost. That fragment was now undergoing an unbelievable change.
As her body glowed, it began to shrink. She grew smaller and smaller until she was only about seven feet tall. She’d be considered somewhat short for an Osterian woman, but nothing compared to the giant that she once was. Her clothing didn’t shrink with her, and it fell off of her as her body no longer began to fit it. When the glow finally faded, a beautiful naked woman stood in the middle of the boss room. Her features resembled that of the giant, but that also much more closely resembled Xin!
“Ah… I didn’t expect my return to occur so quickly.” She touched her body.
“X-Xin…” Elaya was the one who stepped out, tears in her eyes.
“Elaya… my love.” Xin shook. “I… I’m not prepared…”
There was a flash of anguish and guilt on her face. After all, she had been the one to kill the King, leading to Elaya’s death. She had then fled the country. Well, she had ended up getting controlled by Aberis, but she still felt intense responsibility for everything she did.
“You’re really Xin. Your soul is all corrupted, like mine…” Elaya chuckled, but she was crying at the same time.
“Your soul was never corrupted,” Xin said, shaking her head in denial. “Your soul was always beautiful. I never deserved you.”
“Just shut up and kiss me.”
Elaya took the last few steps, and although she rose on her tippytoes, it was ultimately Xin who bent over. Given her size, one could be forgiven if the scene resembled a man pulling a woman off her feet and kissing her. The group of us could only look on awkwardly, although Bernice looked on with a bit of interest.
The girls finally broke away, breathing hard as they held each other. Then, Xin’s eyes landed on me, and she leaned forward and whispered something into Elaya’s ear. Elaya chuckled and the two women turned to me.
“Master, why are you not getting in on this?” Elaya licked her lips.
“Huh? I mean… Xin and you… aren’t you lovers?”
“When it came to King Aberis, the pair of us could not agree.” Elaya shrugged. “However, that doesn’t seem to be a problem anymore?”
“Wh-what? But… Xin and I?”
“You don’t need to worry about me.” Xin blushed. “You had already impressed me in the Twilight Dungeon. Besides that, if you think I’m different than that nameless giant, you’re wrong. I have both her memories and my own. We were based on the same person, but it isn’t like she ceased to be. She is me, and I am her, and her feelings for you should have been obvious.”
“O-obvious?”
Her cheeks reddened more. “After all, you were… inside me. How could that not affect a woman? Before, our bodies weren’t compatible, so I could only keep my mouth shut. Now… I no longer have to hold back! I love Master!”
