"Eat this Pill first, this will freeze your Soul Realm for a few hours, I need your Soul Realm to be frozen so that it won't accidentally absorb the Essence that I will feed to your Soul. And trust me, you don't want that to happen because it would only hasten your death. Also, you don't have to worry, I have already done this once, and it was a successful one, though at that time I forcefully upgraded Kurokami's Soul Realm. And that process was harder than what I'm about to do now." Yuki eased her a bit as she cast Ice all over her right arm and looked at Amane's eyes.
"Are you ready?" Yuki asked one more time, since Amane had already consumed the Pill it already has taken effect and froze her Soul Realm and veins altogether making her unable to use any of her Qi. It was a suffocating feeling, but she kept it in and just nodded her head with a pale face.
"Alright… then let's start." Without wasting any more time, Yuki plunged her hand into Amane's body and began to look for the Soul Realm, but she frowned after three minutes of trying to find it because she still couldn't locate exactly where it was, which was abnormal. The longest that she had to look for a Soul Realm of an enemy only took her less than two minutes and it was already pretty long, though the reason for that is that the Soul Realm was hidden properly, it was hidden on the deepest part of the organs of the body of that person. And because there were a lot of organs, it took her a long time to pull it out.
But Amane's case was different because she had already looked in every inch of her body but she still couldn't find it and she was only wasting her time trying to find it. But that wasn't even all. She's also slowly killing Amane because her body is slowly bleeding, and if she loses too much blood it can kill her pretty easily, especially with her current weakened state.
"Where the hell did you hide your Soul Realm?" Yuki asked while still keeping her arm inside of Amane's body as thousands of Ice Threads were still searching inside of her body. She still didn't stop from trying to find it even if she was talking to her since there was still that small chance that she might have missed it while trying to find it.
"I… I hid it inside of my brain. I think the reason why you can't see it is because of the Skill that I used to hide it, but I can't cancel that Skill because it's my Passive Skill that I got from my System, and the only way that you can access my Soul Realm is if you crack that Passive. Though it's going to be hard and I don't think I need to explain why…" Amane answered with a pale face. She can feel her vitality quickly fading away as time passes, and she's not going to lie that she got nervous when Yuki had a hard time trying to locate her Soul Realm, though she's not going to blame her because it was her fault since she didn't want her beforehand.
"Fuck, you should have told me sooner." Yuki cursed as she began to focus all her Ice Threads in one position of the body which was her head, at first she felt no resistance when she touched her brain, but when she began to slowly surround the brain with her Threads, she felt a great force that attacked her consciousness making her vomit a handful of blood. But she ignored it and destroyed the protective barrier forcefully which was something Amane felt.
"You destroyed it, now get my Soul Realm before the barrier regenerates!" Amane roared as she opened her Soul Realm and let it be free, Yuki then took this opportunity and grabbed her Soul Realm before pulling it out. At last, she finally was able to get it and now that she was looking at it with her bare eyes, she saw a very powerful Soul Realm, probably the strongest one that she had ever seen in her whole life. But she doesn't know what kind of Rank it was, but she doesn't have any time to admire it. She quickly got to work as she made a little dagger in her finger and sliced her Soul Realm open up. And as she did it, she quickly found a big difference. Once she sliced it open, she felt a huge amount of Qi crushing down on her body which actually destroyed more than half of her organs and bones inside her body.
"It seems that the residue Qi that hadn't been frozen had escaped and assaulted me…" Yuki muttered as blood kept dripping out of her mouth, but she still didn't pay any attention to it as she was solely focused on Amane's Soul Realm. Once she gets out of focus, things could go wrong so quickly that she wouldn't be able to have any time to fix it. Luckily, the Spirit was still there and it wiped the Blood and sweat that was on her master's face with a tiny cloth in her hands, and seeing this, Yuki gave it a smile before starting the true process.
"Can you release a wisp of your Soul?" Yuki asked in a deep voice as she finally finished cutting into the Soul Realm and from there, she could see a faint silhouette of a Soul inside. But from this point on, she can't take it out because it would actually kill Amane since it's connected in every way to the Soul Realm.
"I… I can try." Amane couldn't even form words correctly now as the pain was simply too much for her, in her whole life this was the most painful thing she had felt, there was nothing that could compare to this kind of thing. Amane even felt like dying was better than feeling this kind of pain. But for the sake of her daughter and Yuki who has worked and sacrificed so much, she's not going to give up and fight till the end.
A few minutes had passed since Yuki had asked for Amane to release a wisp of her Soul and before she could reprimand her to not waste any time, she had finally done it and managed to release her Soul. But instead of just being a wisp of her Soul, her entire Soul was out which shocked Yuki because that meant that Amane's body was just an empty shell since nothing was inside of it.
"Good, now focus all your powers and devour all of this. In five seconds I will destroy all of it, so be ready to absorb all of it. Don't waste even one fragment." Yuki explained as she closed her eyes. The mist slowly became visible in their area, and it didn't take long before numerous Ice Needles were made in Space. And in one order, all of them pierced the fragments that were floating in Space, Amane then focused her entire powers to absorb all of it. A vortex was made when she was trying to absorb all of the powers that were inside of the fragments and the magnitude of Qi around them was enough to kill Yuki in one swoop, and this fact made Yuki sigh. She was already aware of the gap that she had compared to Amane, but when she looked at it with her own eyes, she couldn't say anything.
Of course, their gaps are too big, in fact, it wasn't even comparable. It doesn't mean that if Yuki had a System she would be invincible, she would just be stronger than most of her peers. But the sight of Amane absorbing all of the energy around them was a spectacular sight, she could actually see the Soul of Amane slowly beginning to heal as time went by which put a smile on her face since she had succeeded in the plan. But it wasn't till something went out of plan and that moment was right now, that Amane's Soul Realm began to show signs of breaking free from being frozen.
"What the fuck!? How can it be so fast, it hasn't even been half an hour since she consumed that Pill yet it's already showing signs of losing its power!" Yuki emitted a cold aura as she stared at the Soul Realm who was slowly coming back alive.
