The voice was very faint, and it was unclear where it originated from.

When he listened carefully, following the trace of warmth to find its source, he finally identified it, “Virginia?”

“It’s me, Your Highness, I just fused with the Bone Dragon’s soul, and I am not very adept yet. And Your Highness, your soul is too strong, along with a massive repulsive force that makes me feel quite uncomfortable, preventing me from establishing a deeper connection with you,” Virginia’s voice seemed ethereal.

“Hmm, it looks like we need to adapt. Virginia, perhaps I should first teach you how to resonate at the soul level… Resonance is the best way to unite minds.”

“Can you sense me, Your Highness?”

“I’ll try.”

It was like a deep self-inquiry; when Liszt focused, he quickly latched onto Virginia’s consciousness. It was like recalling a memory fragment from his own mind or retrieving a previously forgotten thought, and once he found it, he naturally connected with Virginia’s consciousness.

The next moment, he “saw” the girl’s past, which were fragments of broken scenes.

Compared to Liszt’s formidable soul and the protection of the Smoke Mission, Virginia’s soul was very fragile, like a leaky house at the mercy of Liszt’s prying into any part of it.

The memories of learning magic as a child, her father’s scolding, her sister’s oppression, exchanges at the Goat Assembly, engraving the Dragonbone Stabilizer Technique, and solitary walks through the fields—all made Virginia’s life experiences monotonous and dull, without too many hardships. She even lacked the memory of her own death.

It was unclear whether she had forgotten or buried it deep within her heart, unwilling to release it.

“Virginia, accept me.” Liszt had already sensed Virginia’s soul entity and attempted to merge with her, just like mind-merging during dragon riding.

Virginia panicked, “What should I do, Your Highness?”

“Relax, try to breathe deeply, and do not resist; otherwise, it will stir up a Mind Battle, you don’t have the strong spirit of a dragon, and a Mind Battle would shatter you.”

“Alright, I’ll try.”

Virginia’s soul entity initially resembled a hedgehog, but under Liszt’s gentle guidance, transformed into a sponge. Liszt’s consciousness took advantage of this moment, seeping in, completing the simplest form of mind-merging. It felt as though he became Virginia, experiencing everything about her.

Every detail of her soul couldn’t escape Liszt’s feeling; he had already managed to fill every bubble of Virginia, the sponge, with his own consciousness.

That complete fusion felt like a fish entering water.

It could only be described as water blending seamlessly with milk.

Very comfortable.

Nevertheless, it was far weaker compared to the sensation of dragon riding, since it was a merging of three souls at this moment—the Bone Dragon’s soul, Virginia’s soul, and Liszt’s soul. The Bone Dragon’s soul was like a cold bed, with Virginia and Liszt huddling for warmth.

They heated the bed by resonating together.

“Virginia, follow my rhythm for the pulsation,” Liszt, well-accustomed to the sensation of mind-merging, promptly reminded Virginia, who was nearly lost in its comfort.

“Ah!”

Virginia snapped out of it; the comfort of mind-merging was something she had never experienced in her whole life before, “I understand, Your Highness.”

Soul Vibration.

Liszt, proficient in the act, led Virginia in vibrating together, and then they managed to stir the pure soul of the Bone Dragon into motion. After several repeats, they finally reached the identical frequency, completing the mind-merging connection thoroughly.

Within this resonance frequency of the Dragon Knight, Virginia’s soul swiftly merged with the Bone Dragon’s soul, integrating into and taking command of the Bone Dragon’s main consciousness.

In the end.

In the triad of souls, the Bone Dragon’s soul had completely fused with Virginia’s, with no distinction between them.

And Liszt continued to maintain the Dragon Knight Resonance with this new soul, unifying their minds and reaching a consensus in their thoughts—you are in me, and I am in you. Of course, protected by the power of destiny represented by the Smoke Mission, not even the Dragon Knight Resonance could pry into the deepest secrets of Liszt’s soul.

He could peer into the very core of all Dragon hearts, but Dragons could only see what he chose to reveal. The new soul born from the fusion of Virginia and the Bone Dragon was no different.

“It’s done, your Highness, I am the Bone Dragon, and the Bone Dragon is Virginia.”

“I can clearly feel that, Virginia, although the new soul you have transformed into still seems weaker than a normal Dragon’s soul. But with our fusion, we can perfectly control this Bone Dragon, or rather, perfectly control your new body… You have indeed been reborn.”

“Yes, I have indeed been reborn,” Virginia smiled—it was a telepathic exchange as if she were in her own train of thought, “Since I have been reborn, the name Virginia Truth belongs to the past. Your Highness, why not give me a new name?”

She sensed Liszt’s affection and extended the invitation.

Ever agreeable, Liszt replied, “It should be so, as for a new name… let’s take a part of your name and call you Vinnie.”

“Vinnie…”

Virginia gladly accepted.

“Roar!”

The Bone Dragon let out a shockingly unprecedented roar, signaling a soul shockwave released by Vinnie that pulsed magic power in all directions.

Even an Archmage like Ach could feel the chilling strike on the soul as it passed, momentarily losing her composure.

This was certainly a very powerful attack method.

But Liszt temporarily paid no attention to the Bone Dragon’s roar; he and Vinnie quickly controlled the Bone Dragon’s shift to a Magic Form. The ghastly blue light of the Dragon’s Superior Magic rapidly enveloped the entire Dragonbone, melting the bone and coalescing it into a special Super Magic that merged into Liszt’s body.

Just like how Leo turned into a Fire Dragon Pattern on the chest.

The pattern formed by the Bone Dragon concentrated on his head, covering only the left half of his face, with intricate ghastly blue markings swiftly etched from the scalp to his visage.

Though the scalp’s pattern was concealed by hair and invisible, the facial pattern was crystal clear—a mask akin to a skull—not of a human face but crafted in the likeness of a Dragon’s skull.

The previously extremely handsome Liszt, due to the half-faced skull mask, instantly became cold, eerie, with a touch of demonic allure. His character leaped from a refined gentleman of a troubled world to a psychologically twisted and evil villain, though his eyes remained clear and bright.

Of course, even as a twisted, villainous character, he was still a handsomely cool antagonist.

“Ach, what do you think of this look?” Liszt said, stepping down and approaching Ach.

“So scary, brother.”

“Haha!”

Liszt was exceedingly pleased with himself.

Ach casually created a mirror made from condensed water, allowing him to see his reflection.

Admiring his own eerie image in the mirror, Liszt couldn’t help but touch the skull pattern on the left side, “Indeed, no matter what shape I take, my charm remains.”

“Giggle.”

Vinnie’s laughter echoed in his mind. Due to the Magic Form, he and Vinnie’s mind-connection was interrupted, but just like the norm for Dragon Riding, there was still a strong sense of mental resonance—Vinnie’s soul had filled the void of the Bone Dragon’s soul, making it whole.

“Don’t laugh, Vinnie, let’s make a change from Magic Form to armor evolution!” Liszt raised an eyebrow.

The skull pattern on the left side of his face lit up with even brighter ghastly blue light, and one by one, bones flickering with blue light began extending from the mask pattern, reaching across Liszt’s body.
