âWhat in the holy godly dragons is happing this time?â The priest questioned.
The first time the priest saw this phenomenon occur was when Lilith shone green and floated. He wanted to question what had happened last time, but Lucasâs son, Biro Hawkins, with the help of Darwin and his inspection skill, managed to persuade the priest that Lilith awakened a bit differently than normal.
.....
Even though last time, the priest had to believe what happened as Lilith awakening because of her old age, this time, it was different.
The priest knew Mirey had a class. Not only that but a heretic class with the power to manipulate souls. Persuading the priest was going to be difficult this time, or so anyone would think.
âThe holy godly dragons have answered my prayer!â Vincent shouted. âTheir holy generosity has healed my wifeâs arm.â
âA miracle?â The priest questioned. He looked all around him. He saw most people suddenly clasp their hands and start praying.
âIt might be so. â Karta said before she secretly winked at Vincent. She showed this wasnât a surprise for her. She was already told what could happen.
Vincent grabbed the priestâs hands and thanked him from the bottom of his heart. He also mentioned how the priest was the lucky charm of the Lionheart family.
The first blessing allowed Lilith to awaken, and the second time the blessing occurred, Mireyâs injuries recovered.
After the priest looked at Mirey moving her arm as if it was never injured, he started to believe he had caused a miracle to occur.
It didnât take long for the priest to buy Vincentâs acting. He accepted what happened as a miracle done by his hands. Greed for a promotion soon filled his eyes.
Mirey landed on her feet. She looked at her bandaged arm and moved her hand. She was surprised when her arm felt brand new.
âHow is your arm? The holy godly dragons have blessed you with recovery.â Vincent said while secretly winking at Mirey.
Karta perceived Vincent knew what had happened because she had already heard about Lilithâs eventful awakening. Karta now started to suspect Vincent was doing something mysterious to his women upon marriage.
âMirey Lionheart, shall we go to the changing room right now?â Vincent asked.
Mirey was flustered. She recalled Vincent mentioning he was not going to do anything she didnât want to do and that he wasnât going to force her to do anything.
Vincent grabbed Mireyâs hand. âLetâs go now.â He requested.
[Donât worry, Mirey. Vincent wants to tell you about the new class you awakened to.]
âHuh?â Mirey lost her strength to resist after hearing a big lie.
Vincent pulled Mirey down the aisle. He stopped in front of Leonis, glaring at him while crossing his arms. âCan I pass?â He asked.
Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, Sakura, Plow, Mimi, Awa, and Sofy stood behind Vincent. They wondered why Vincent looked in a hurry.
Vincent noticed Leonis didnât want to back off, even if his wife, Teresa, looked ashamed about her husbandâs actions.
Vincent leaned his head and said in a low voice. âDo you have the time to glare at me? Father-in-law number one.â
âWhat do you mean?â Leonis grunted.
âHave you bet all your riches on my team? You will need that money to start your business since the workers are on the way.â
âI...â Leonis looked at his wife. âTeresa, what do you think?â
Teresa looked at Lilith. She saw her daughter nod confidently at her. âWhat is there to think about? Isnât it sink or swim? We get the money to keep the newly acquired workers, or we lose everything.â
*Tsk* Leonis turned around and grumpily stepped aside.
Vincent pulled Mirey to the room he woke up in. Behind him followed a large group of women.
The people on the benches didnât know what to do now. They shortly saw Teresa walk the aisle and stop in front of everyone. Beside her was Maid Xu with a piece of paper in her hand.
Like an event director, Teresa promptly announced what would happen next. She explained how they had seats booked on the Lionheartâs team side and how they were to leave shortly. Furthermore, they were going to pass a betting area for anyone who wanted to bet as a way to show who they wanted to win.
Vincent and the girls entered the room. He placed Mirey on the bed and clapped once. Afterward, he explained that Mirey had awakened and what her new skills entailed.
âImpossible!â Mirey exclaimed. She couldnât believe the Soulmancer class could awaken further.
âIt is not impossible.â Said Sakura. âI had the blacksmith class, yet I advanced awakened because of Vincentâs help.â
âI became a Druid. Everyone says it is a special class.â Iris added.
âWhat about me?â Said Awa. âI became strong like my legendary Dullahan ancestors.â
Mirey understood when it came to Vincent, common sense could be thrown out of the window, yet she couldnât believe her class became one that her people would despise even more.
[I was reborn after Vincent turned my soul into a Soul Egg. You will be able to do that. Isnât it incredible?]
Mirey looked around her. She could see the expression of excitement and intrigue instead of despise and disgust.
âIs no one disturbed I can turn a soul into an egg?â She nervously asked.
Instead of a response, all those in front of her gently shook their heads. On the other hand, Plow climbed on the bed and sat on her lap.
âJun Jun is a good person. Plow likes Jun Jun very very much.â *Pho*
âLet them become disgusted because of your class and how much they want. However, you need to remember we will never do that.â With a wide grin, Vincent flipped the finger and exclaimed, âYou can tell them to go F themselves.â
Mirey faintly giggled. This was the first time they heard the tsundere elf make such an expression.
âNow. With that out of the way, the room is not that large to help you test your new skills.â Vincent extended his hands, and green light illuminated the room.
A horrid stench filled the room when the newborn acid royal guard ant Vincent killed was summoned. âCan you see if you can do anything with this corpse?â He asked with a curious gaze.
âIt will not work because when a person dies, their soul shortly dies inside their body. The connection becomes severed, and the soul will be ejected from the body. When the mana allowing the comatose soul to live outside the body ends, the soul will stop existing. Only by regarding conscious and possessing a living being can the soul continue to live.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
*Sigh* âIn other words. In your hands is a corpse and nothing else.â Mirey briefly explained after teaching everyone in the room about souls.
Blemish appeared in front of Mirey. It said something to Mirey, causing her to place Plow on the bed and stand up.
âHow is this possible?â She questioned while staring at both the corpse and Vincent.
âDid you make a discovery?â Asked Lilith.
âBlemish told me the corpse has a soul inside its body. It is about to be ejected in a few seconds. But how is this possible? When was this ant killed?â
[Hahahaha.]
âWhat is funny?â Mirey questioned.
[We guessed Soul Dimensional Storage had the word Soul because it came from Vincentâs Soul Hero class. But it appears we were wrong. Based on your words, we can store corpses with their souls.]
Mirey stared at Vincent without blinking. She couldnât believe he had a skill that could trap the souls inside the bodies. Such a discovery caused Mirey to believe Vincent would definitely also make the elven race despise him, even if he wasnât a person from another world.
âCan we know what is happening?â Lilith asked. The other girls nodded.
When Vincent explained what apparently his Soul Dimensional Storage could do, all of them became astonished. Soon, they moved their gazes on Mirey with their expression silently saying, âGo on. Can we see the Soul Egg now?â
The soul of the ant appeared above the corpse, but only Mirey, Vincent, and Kazumi could see it.
*Gulp* Mirey extended her hand and touched the soul. She became surprised by how pleasantly warm the soul felt to the touch.
The soul shrank as Mirey closed her hand. âBe reborn.â She said while opening her hand, and the shining soul egg became visible to everyoneâs eyes.

[Description]
A soul of Acid Royal Guard Ant waiting to be reborn and serve the Soul Monarch.
.
âIt worked. The egg will probably hatch today because it has already reached two percent hatching time.â Vincent announced.
Mirey smiled as she looked at the Soul Egg. She placed the egg in front of her chest. The egg entered her body and reached her Soul Monarch Domain.
âNow, how about we change our clothes?â Ester said.
âYes. Letâs leave since we only prepared the clothes Vincent is going to wear in this room. Ourâs are in a different room.â Lilith said.
