Chapter 2399: Clash Of Venerables II [35]

-----

The young Myconid pointed his hand at Charlotte, as his Psychic Aura surged, reaching her and infusing into her body and soul.

FLUOSH!

"Woah!"

Charlotte thought she would feel dizzy and throw up like Rakasha did...

However, there was no problem.

She felt stronger than ever, and it felt... just right.

"I don’t feel bad like Rakasha did... why?" Charlotte was confused.

"Oh?" Augustus’ eyes widened as he realized that something was happening. "Quick! Everyone! Give her your power!"

"Wait, what?! But I’m not strong enough!" Charlotte said.

"Just do it! I think I understood Drake’s technique wrongly! It doesn’t have anything to do with your level of power or cultivation! It has... it has to do with how you can form bonds with people, how you can inspire them! How can you bring people together... Rakasha is a good man, friend of all, but he’s not like you, Charlotte."

"Indeed, you’re adorable and good natured, a young girl with a bright future ahead, haha. I’m just an old loaf, past my expiration date," Rakasha smiled. "I lack that spark that youth still has..."

He walked to her side, patting the dwarf girl’s shoulders with his big hand, almost as big as her entire torso, imbuing his massive power into her.

FLUOSH!

And once more, there was no pain, no exhaustion... Charlotte only felt even stronger!

And something... something within her was awakening.

Augustus saw it first, a specter of sorts, something that Drake had seen before too, only but a glimpse.

A silhouette appearing behind her, slowly becoming more defined with every person’s aura infused into her.

"I guess Rakasha’s not wrong, us old timers gotta work so the youth can shine," Larzak smiled, patting her shoulder.

"Indeed," Kraxka nodded, touching her head.

FLUOSH!

Two more Auras and Souls were imbued into Charlotte, and she felt even stronger, wonderful, and capable of everything.

"T-This is...?! Wait, everyone!"

Charlotte was flustered, but they didn’t stop.

"Take it, girl, you’re indeed a great leader, a great captain at that!" Tisha laughed.

"You’ve inspired us even in despair, you’re a great person, Charlotte," Pekora said.

FLUOSH!

Tisha’s mighty Aura and Soul spread through Charlotte, and then Pekora’s Magical and Spiritual Aura, close to the Earth and Nature.

"If Jamar did it, why not?" Leona smiled. "Come on girl, you’re a good captain after all!"

"Yeah, I’m glad you’re the first dwarf I ever met, Charlotte, you created a great first impression of them, ahaha," Agni said with a giggle.

"Drake choose you as his captain for a reason, right?" Nadia smiled, nodding.

"Take it girl! All my power," Mina winked at her.

FLUOSH!

Four more Auras and Souls reached Charlotte, her hair glowing brightly alongside her eyes, as she started floating in midair due to all the power overflowing from her.

"I am not exactly that old, I’m pretty young still! But you’re younger I think, and well, take it," Hector said, he wasn’t good with words. "You’re a great captain."

"Charlotte... you may be our only hope at the end," Amehia smiled lightly. "No... perhaps this was what Drake planned all along?"

"I have faith in you as much as I have faith in Drake and Emerald," Tyrannus said. "Take my power, lass."

FLUOSH!

"E-Everyone?! You really... you really believe in me?!"

Charlotte felt the immense power flowing through her entire being, as Augustus saw the silhouette behind her become more and more real.

"We do," Fuyu said. "Right you three?"

"I guess I will now," Logi said.

"If they trust you so much, let’s do it!" Aegir said.

"I suppose there’s not much left to say... Maeda is coming, so let’s hurry!" Jord said.

FLAAASH!

Charlotte walked to the center of the sea of soul and divine essence, the entire Soul Unification Formation activating, as Maeda saw a huge glowing rainbow aura surge from Fuyu.

"Hmm?!"

His eyebrow raised, as he quickly rushed towards Fuyu with his technique already loaded, unleashing a devastating attack.

"Whatever you’re trying to do, it won’t work!"

As he was about to strike, a blazing portal appeared in front of him. His eyes widened, but it was too late, he ended up being teleported away on the last potent.

"Damn it!"

This was Logi’s doing, helping Charlotte and the rest get some precious time, as their powers combined, and even their souls unified within a core.

The one that forged their bonds together and granted them hope... the true necessity for the Soul Unification Technique.

As she floated in midair and felt her power spread everywhere, she closed her eyes, visualizing a great titan, stronger than anything else.

A mechanical giant that embodied bravery and strength, and above all, a guardian of the weak.

Just like Drake, the man she admired the most.

And that she loved a little.

"Drake... Thank you for trusting me."

Charlotte closed her eyes and smiled, her powers spreading everywhere, Fuyu’s body regenerated her many wounds, beginning to move.

Cracks spread through her body, only to reveal circuit-like lines. Charlotte remembered all the amazing machines Kate always built, and which she had helped her create using her inspirations, glimpses of memories from her past life.

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

Fuyu’s body began to transform immediately as Charlotte’s Aura turned golden, and the figure of a giant made of glowing golden lightning, silver metal, and wearing a big pirate hat with crossed skull and bones emerged, roaring, as his face was covered on a dragon-shaped metallic mask, with glowing golden eyes.

"Roar! Dracosea Captain!"

This was, without a doubt, Charlotte’s Archetype.

"RAAAAAHHHHH!"

RUMBLE!

Maeda rushed towards Fuyu, his Aura surging and thundering as he pointed at his cannon at the trembling, transforming ship, his calm face looking clearly annoyed and irritated.

"I’ve had enough of this game! I will stop whatever you’re doing now!"

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

The Samurai bombarded Fuyu with countless explosive attacks, covering her transforming body with cursed flames and lightning!

Maeda smiled, expecting her to finally crumble into pieces...

And yet!

"What?!"

His eyes widened as his eyebrows twitched in disbelief.

Fuyu, or rather, what she had become, was completely alright.

Unscathed.
