Chapter 119 The Fifth Soul Pact: Yui
“My fourth familiar~”
Shaya felt a long-lost sense of anticipation in his heart.
After all, as a transmigrator, he still had his sentiments.
Moreover, Shaya’s own strength had actually reached a bottleneck.
As early as when he broke through to Four Rings, Shaya could kill an old Titled Beast Tamer like Riel the Silver Fox with the help of factors such as the opponent’s complacency.
Coupled with Shaya’s own advancement to Five Rings, assisted by all sorts of advanced skill proficiencies and self-created skills.
And, his Undying Body.
With the advantage of information, Shaya was no longer too afraid, even of the top Titled Beast Tamers.
However, Legendary was an exception. It was a different realm of existence, a transformation from quantity to quality.
Although Shaya’s Undying Body was extremely buggy, it did not mean he could truly act recklessly.
After all, once the enemy knew the mechanism of his Undying Body, there would still be ways to deal with it.
A mere Undying Body did not represent invincibility. If Shaya were to be trapped in a Mithril Cage that could seal space laws and the release of extraordinary powers, then sunk into the sea, or sealed like the Ancient Azure Court dealt with that half-body of the Twilight Ancient God before.
Then, no matter how much of an Undying Body Shaya had, he would probably be helpless.
And precisely, in the Historical Echo of Escarnia, there was no shortage of Legendary existences.
Or rather, according to Xia’s information, in this encirclement battle against Vortigern and the Abyss coalition, it was very likely that an Abyss Lord equivalent to Legendary would participate.
“In terms of the power of extraordinary beings alone… the total mental power and magic power must increase slowly with age.”
“In this regard, my accumulation is indeed still lacking. Compared to those old guys who are hundreds of years old, there is an insurmountable gap.”
“Since this is the case, if I want to possess Legendary combat power through unconventional means, I can only rely on some special methods.”
Shaya’s gaze shifted slightly.
Mechanist.
Although the Mechanist and the Steam School it represented were only a small part of the many extraordinary factions currently in the Western Continent, and not well-known.
But as a transmigrator, Shaya naturally knew the potential represented by the mechanical system.
In Shaya’s previous life, even ordinary people who were completely incapable of fighting could obtain power comparable to Titled Beast Tamers through technology.
Moreover, in this world, there was even magic-tech that combined magic runes with machinery, raising the upper limit by more than one notch.
Shaya walked into the seventh studio.
What greeted his eyes were two huge metal boxes, which reminded Shaya of Optimus Prime’s container loaded with external accessories in his previous life.
And in the center of the two metal containers was a cube like a mirror, flowing with the color of pure silver.
Shaya’s gaze fell upon the mirror-like cube.
Next moment, a blue light screen appeared in his mind.

“Perfect.”
Looking at the skill information listed on the system panel, Shaya couldn’t help but snap his fingers.
Unlike in the past, when choosing contract familiars as a Beast Tamer, it was a matter of chance.
Mechanical familiars, as genuine artificial life, could be said to be completely customized.
Therefore, except for a few mass-produced models, each custom-made high-level mechanical familiar had a unique species name, and even its innate racial skills were one of a kind.
For his fourth familiar, Shaya and Solun put a lot of effort into making everything perfect.
Even the racial rank of the familiar was pushed to the highest “Low-level Emperor Rank” with Shaya’s ample financial support.
This was also the current upper limit of the mechanical familiars that the Steam School could manufacture. Beyond this, it could only be achieved through the long-term cultivation of the Beast Tamer.
After all, this was an artificial familiar species, and there was no long racial history to refer to, so they could only take it one step at a time.
Shaya wasted no more time and directly released his mental power.
After all, it was a dream machine that he had built himself… all the parameters were already clear in his mind, so the part about being a good match could naturally be omitted, and they could directly fast-forward to signing the soul pact.
The moment Shaya’s mental power touched the metal mirror, he felt a slight resistance.
But soon, as Shaya’s mental imprint was perceived and matched with the information recorded in the database.
Next moment, Shaya’s mental power entered the metal mirror body without any obstruction.
The Fifth Soul Pact was quietly signed.
And at the moment the Fifth Soul Pact was completed, Shaya quickly completed a point allocation.
[The proficiency of the unnamed mechanical skill “Source of Fire” has broken through, advancing from “Beginner” to “Mastered.”]
…
[The proficiency of the unnamed mechanical skill “Source of Fire” has broken through, advancing from “Proficient” to “Perfect.”]
The level of the mechanical familiar skill “Source of Fire” directly determined the intelligence level of the mechanical life form.
Therefore, to avoid the trouble of communicating with an artificial imbecile, this point allocation could not be skipped.
As for the Free Experience Points used for skill allocation… well, they were exchanged from the small experience crystals obtained from the “Weekly Heartwarming Lucky Bag.”
“Master?”
As the point allocation was completed.
The next moment, a mechanical voice, indistinguishable whether male or female, sounded in Shaya’s mind through the soul pact.
“This voice is unpleasant.”
Shaya thought for a moment.
“Based on the voice clips of your little wife Little Ai and your big wife Xi Bao that I gave you, mix and match to create a tone that best suits my personal aesthetics.”
“…”
The response Shaya received was a long silence.
However, fortunately, the artificial intelligence of the perfect proficiency “Source of Fire” seemed to be able to satisfy even such an arbitrary request.
A little over a minute later.
“Master?”
A ethereal and crisp female voice, as pleasant as wind chimes, sounded in Shaya’s ears.
Shaya couldn’t help but shiver.
Not only Little Ai, but Sylvia… and Isadorella, Solun, and Shaya’s Golden Elf Teacher Heiser…
In this female voice, Shaya actually heard parts of the voices of these five people simultaneously.
It was perfect and matched his preferences.
“Master?”
The ethereal and elegant, yet slightly cold female voice spoke again.
“You haven’t named me yet…”
Shaya answered without hesitation:
“Yui.”
