“It’s like having an extra limb to control, and more importantly, having an additional perspective to manage.”

“It’s similar to controlling two separate magic puppets, each with their own viewpoint, which is not something ordinary people can do.”

“Even if you can do it, the difficulty of controlling them increases linearly with each additional perspective.”

At this point, Moray suddenly smirked: “Perhaps you’ll need a lot of time to adapt to the new skill.

But for a dragon, time is never a valuable commodity.”

Otto kept a straight face, and from Moray’s tone, he figured that modifying the Soul Splitting Skill to his specifications wouldn’t be too difficult.

The real challenge lay in learning to use the enhanced ability himself.

Through Moray’s explanation, Otto more or less grasped his intentions.

If he really adopts Moray’s proposed modification, he could perhaps think of it with a perspective from his past life for easier understanding.

It’s like having multiple computer screens in front of you, each running their own separate game that needs hands-on management.

Or, more simply, Otto has to control five heroes in a team all by himself with just these multiple screens, doing a challenging group battle.

If he can perfectly control the five characters during an intense team fight, then it means he’s mastered this ability.”

This seems incredibly difficult just thinking about it.

As Moray put it, even if you can achieve it, it will take a lot of time.

But Otto didn’t want to give up easily, so after thinking for a long time, he finally said, “Let’s go with this approach then. Whether we can be successful or not, only trying it will tell us.”

“I like your attitude!”

Moray seemed to be in a good mood and seemed to foresee the future.

In order for Otto to master and use the ability, he would indeed have to spend a lot of time practicing through immense pain.

Seeing others suffer always delighted Moray, and he found common ground with Sofia in this regard.

Oh… except for the completion of a new magic project!

On the way back, Moray suddenly said, “My dear Majesty, improving the Soul Splitting Skill is one thing, but before that, you must provide me with talented apprentices.

If I’m not mistaken, it seems that obtaining a new ability for yourself involves getting started in this direction.”

Otto looked at Moray inquisitively, and the latter smiled, “I’m offering this out of goodwill. After all, I’m quite satisfied with my current life, and I need you to resist the Death Lord.”

“What are you trying to say?”

Moray laughed, “Before you get the enhanced Soul Splitting Skill, you may have to wait for a long time.

In the meantime, I could make two special magic puppets for you to practice with!

If you can’t even control two magic puppets easily, the improved Soul Splitting Skill would be a complete burden for you!”

Moray’s idea was quite simple – teaching a few stupid students was more time-consuming than crafting two intricate magic puppets.

If Otto’s lack of talent in this area could be proven through the magic puppets and he abandoned the idea, it might save Moray a lot of effort.

However, Otto rather liked the idea, as it would give him an opportunity to adapt in advance.

“Whatever you need, feel free to ask Saru for it!”

It sounded like Otto agreed, so Moray chuckled, “If you could get Princess Sofia to help out, I think it would speed up the process a lot!”

Otto thought for a moment and then said, “As for that, you can talk to Sofia yourself. ”

Of course, as long as it involved Otto, the half-elf girl was always proactive, so Moray didn’t delve deeper into it.

Having an experienced person around, like the legendary Lich Moray who has lived for thousands of years, can help Otto solve many problems.

But it also gave Otto some unique ideas.

At the moment, it seemed like both he and Moray had mutual interests, so nothing unexpected would happen in the short term.

To constrain Moray, Sofia had also made some targeted adjustments to the Soul Eater Wand.

However, if Otto wanted to be more secure, perhaps leaving a Blood Covenant on Moray’s soul would be a good option.

Of course, he would have to go around Moray and discuss the matter directly with Sofia.

On the way back, Moray seemed to be in high spirits, not yet realizing that Otto was secretly plotting against him in his mind.

When they returned to the core area of the Soaring Dragon Legion, they found that Sofia and her Corrupted Elf maids had already returned at some point.

Otto and Moray had spent quite some time outside, and it was already getting late.

Meanwhile, the Soaring Dragon Legion, having advanced a considerable distance, had set up camp. Since Otto wasn’t found, Saru and Gaz handled the ongoing matters through discussion.

After the old lizardman briefly reported on the day’s events to Otto, he respectfully left.

It was then that Otto turned his attention to Sofia.

The half-elf girl looked tired as if she had traveled quite a distance today.

Other than the Corrupted Elves, he also saw Little Fatty leading a group of Ogres.

Following Little Fatty’s gaze, Otto noticed that the Ogres all had huge mushrooms on their backs.

So, they had just gone out to collect ingredients?

Just as Otto thought of this, one of the large mushrooms on an Ogre’s back suddenly began to struggle violently.

Perhaps it was pure coincidence, but Otto could swear that the mushroom’s limbs were moving on their own.

He then recalled seeing such bizarre, living plants on the final battlefield of the Two Dragons War.

Without waiting for Otto to ask, Sofia cheerfully said, “Look! What did I bring you back?”

“Mushrooms?”

Otto guessed tentatively.

Moray seemed to recognize the mushrooms and said nostalgically, “White Larva Mushrooms, right?”

“Indeed!”

Sofia nodded in confirmation, while Otto remained puzzled.

Soon enough, Moray began to explain, “Their taste is exquisite, even found in the Dark Domain.

Back when I still had a fleshly body, I tasted it once. Even after thousands of years, I find it hard to forget that delicious flavor.

Mushrooms of this size would be worth more than a magic item in some prosperous city-states!”

So, they were meant for eating?

Looking at the wriggling, dust-covered, and wood-shaving covered mushrooms with limbs, Otto’s mouth twitched. It was really hard to believe that these would taste good..
