——A power named psychic ability.

Of course, that's not the most important thing.

The reason this profession couldn't spread is because...

"I don't sense any trace of spiritual ability in you! How exactly did you master the power of a Soul Mage?"

The little swan showed an incomprehensible expression.

Yes, the power of the Soul Mage is innate.

Although it's hard to bring this power into play, it's like a luxury car; if you can't have it at birth, it's hard to have it later in life.

It's not the Soul Mage that is special, but the soul that can awaken the spiritual ability.

It's precisely because spiritual power originates from the unique soul that this power cannot be acquired through learning under normal circumstances.

Whether you can have spiritual ability entirely depends on luck.

That's quite disgusting.

The current mainstream extraordinary paths on the continent are basically limited to three types.

The first type is a race inheritance power like the dragons, where power is spread through fluid and maternal bond.

The second type is a large framework power spread through knowledge, like the mages and warriors.

The third type is a combination between the first and second types, like the advanced profession of the Eternal Sword from the nine swords, which is an extraordinary system embodying both racial and inherited characteristics.

It should be said that only these three can develop in a traceable manner.

But not the Soul Mage.

The elusive Soul Mage is hard to form into a system, and this profession, due to its own peculiarities, doesn't have a good reputation.

A kind Soul Mage can keenly be aware that immorally using psychic ability will affect the mind of the subject.

Based on the power of the mind, one can permanently influence others' consciousness.

If a Soul Mage takes the evil path, the consequences are disastrous.

On the Star Continent, there is no lack of evil Soul Mages who pollute other people's souls through mental violence and claim it as proof of their superior spiritual power.

"Louis, where exactly did you get this dangerous power from?"

Louis said:

"It was Master Merlin who unconsciously guided this power during my secluded cultivation, but it did not originate from me, rather it was..."

Louis closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes turned brilliant gold.

[Sin Dragon Armament · Liberation Form]!

An overwhelming spiritual power spread from his body.

This power swirled around him, like a condensed psychic storm.

Lumi frowned and quickly discovered the source of these spiritual abilities.

"Sin Dragon Armament?"

Louis nodded, released the transformed state, and landed on the ground.

"This is the concealed power of the Sin Dragon Armament itself, and just as Olivia speculated, it's a living weapon."

The little swan said speechlessly:

"A weapon with a built-in profession attachment? That's a bit over the top, isn't it?"

Louis shook his head and said:

"This isn't strange; among the entire Star Continent, there are very few races capable of using spiritual power, but a few races are particularly adept at it."

"You mean Mind Flayers?"

Mind Flayers, also known as Heart Stealers.

They are the most prolific producers of Soul Mages among all races.

However, nowadays Mind Flayers rarely appear on the Star Continent.

Their permanent enslavement and domination of others' minds had once caused massive unrest, resulting in retaliation from various races.

Many years ago, their main force hid in a large semi-plane.

Most of the time, they wander outside the main material world, continuing their "grand scheme to dominate people's minds."

Half of the Soul Mages' bad reputation should be blamed on these Mind Flayers.

Of course, the little swan knew Louis wasn't referring to the Mind Flayers.

Races adept at manipulating souls and controlling spiritual power tend to have higher probabilities of awakening as Soul Mages.

The Gem Dragons, to some extent, possess means to wield spiritual power.

Naturally, among the Sapphire Dragons, there are more dragons taking on the Soul Mage profession.

"If I recall correctly, although Succubi don't match up to Mind Flayers and Gem Dragons, they are indeed a major producer of Soul Mages, right?"

Louis coughed once and didn't speak further.

Yes, if Soul Mage's bad reputation had Mind Flayers contribute half, four-tenths of the rest is related to Succubi and Gem Dragons.

We don't need to say much about Succubi.

They are inherently powerful demons squeezing others dry, and combined with the Soul Mage profession, it becomes a complete surrender from body to mind.

If Succubi's method of physical exploitation is more like tying people up.

Then the Soul Mage's method of soul exploitation is more like using a hypnotic app to corrupt them.

Of course.

Compared to Mind Flayer Soul Mages, the reputation of Succubi Soul Mages has improved somewhat.

After all, Mind Flayers are "capitalists who dominate everything about you."

But Succubi, at least they have some business spirit, allowing you to have fun before being dominated.

The remaining blame falls on the Gem Dragons.

After all, Gem Dragons who excel in using spiritual power do not have a good temperament.

If metallic dragons are good and chromatic dragons are evil, then Gem Dragons are wicked.

Although more often than not evil people have worse reputations, in certain situations, wickedness is harder to deal with than evil.

"Who could have thought I possess the traits of a Dragon and Phoenix, gathering these two races' characteristics in myself."

Louis said speechlessly:

"The Sin Dragon Armament has no soul, but because it is a living weapon, it possesses the means to control spiritual power."

"I have Succubus bloodline and do not possess spiritual power, but Limuru possesses spiritual potential."

"Greed Dominator allowed me to have traits similar to Limuru, but because I don't have the basis to use spiritual power myself, my spiritual characteristics have always been suppressed deep within my soul."

"But in the Sin Dragon Armament state, my spiritual characteristics aligned with the spiritual body of Sapphire Dragon, eventually enabling me to wield spiritual power in this form."

He blinked at the little swan and said: "..."
