The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3709

Chapter 3709 - Sharper

Though Ves still felt pissed about Ketis going behind his back, he did not quibble too much over her crimes. He was much more concerned about her health and safety. Getting to the bottom of this mattered a lot more than anything trivial.

As Ketis took her seat, Ves recalled that she had an accomplice.

"Lucky."

"Meow?"

"Do you know what you have done?"

"Meow?"

"Just because you have a good relationship with her doesn't mean you should listen to her whenever she wants you to take action! I'll deal with you later."

"Meow." Lucky rolled his body away from Ves and took a nap without exhibiting any concern!

Ves rolled his eyes at his cat's behavior, but he did not linger too long on this issue. He turned his attention back to Ketis and studied her form a bit deeper.

"Before we go any further, I'd like to examine you. Can you show me Sharpie? I can sense that your companion spirit has undergone substantial changes. It has a different feel to my senses."

Sharpie appeared out of Ketis' floating greatsword. Initially, the spirit looked like a miniature greatsword.

However, upon receiving a silent signal, Sharpie morphed into a downsized version of Ketis!

"What?!"

Ves almost stood up as he observed the changes!

Though he was quite aware that spiritual 'matter' was morphable and never as solid as real matter, he still became surprised by how Sharpie was able to change forms so drastically.

From what he learned about spirituality, the shape and appearance of spiritual entities directly reflected their identities. It was insanely difficult for such beings to change shape as that would entail a direct change of the essence of their own being.

Before, Sharpie adopted the shape of a sword, which said a lot on how it perceived itself. Sharpie was the living sword that Ketis always carried in her mind. It was the personification of her will to succeed and cut everything in her way.

This was a simple enough interpretation for Ves to figure out. Now that Sharpie was not only able to change shape, but also adopt a form that was a lot more complex in nature, how was he supposed to interpret this bizarre change?

The newly-evolved Sharpie did not hover around and do nothing. It, no, she directly preened in front of Ves while swinging her tiny greatsword as if to show off her might.

Due to her diminutive size, Sharpie looked like a toddler swinging around a toy sword. She looked rather cute if not for the fact that she was an extraordinary companion spirit that was also the source of Ketis' swordmaster powers!

If that wasn't surprising enough, Sharpie unveiled another little surprise!

"Sharp! Sharp! Sharp!"

"Huh?!"

Ves looked shocked at Sharpie!

This wasn't because Sharpie was able to communicate. Many spiritual entities were able to convey meaning to others.

The problem was that as intangible existences that could not meaningfully affect the material realm, they were incapable of creating actual sounds.

That would require them to gain the strength, ability or knowledge to affect the material realm in a way that allowed them to vibrate the molecules in a volume of gas or liquid.

Perhaps the Superior Mother was able to do that due to her sophisticated techniques and brilliant methods of leveraging her strength, but she had never demonstrated this capacity so far. It was far more strenuous than just conveying her thoughts directly to a receptive individual such as Ves.

This was why Sharpie was such an anomaly. The fact that she was able to create actual sounds was already notable, but what truly caught his attention was that the companion spirit did not look as if she had grown tired!

"It's a willpower thing." Ketis explained when she saw his confusion. "I was surprised as well that Sharpie is able to speak like this. After examining her for a few minutes, I figured out that she can use our willpower to bend reality so that she can exert pressure onto air molecules."

"Sharp Sharp Sharp!"

"Can Sharpie say anything more than that?" Ves asked.

"No." Ketis regrettably shook her head. "Believe me, I tried. I don't know what is wrong, but I am sure that Sharpie will be able to expand her vocabulary once she grows stronger. Right now, she is too new to her human form. She needs time to adapt and consolidate her latest round of changes."

Ves rubbed his smooth-shaven chin as he looked at Sharpie with an intrigued expression.

"There has to be more to Sharpie's evolution than just a shape change. What else did she gain?"

"Well, she can do this." Ketis smirked.

"Sharp! Sharp!" The cute mini-Ketis kept repeating the same word as she started to demonstrate the moves of the Annihilator Sword Style.

The doll-like spiritual entity did not just imitate the form of the style. She actually changed her demeanor so that she better aligned with the destructive sword style before her intangible blade actually glowed in an ominous dark corona.

Sharpie then dove with her tiny greatsword, causing her to penetrate the reinforced deck of Ves' office!
