"Just make sure to not tell them that I fainted because of being scared" Guru Polliwog's eyes basically told Adrian without even saying anything.
"If you take care of my problem then I will make sure to stop myself from spilling anything." Adrian's eyes and smile basically stated as he shook Guru Polliwog's hand.
"I heard from Ribbit why you wanted to come to me. Follow me as we will need a more private place to check on your inner self. If you were to go berserk, it would not be ideal to be in this open area where you could easily escape after all." Guru Polliwog stated as he gestured Adrian to follow him.
"As the elder wishes. I thank you in advance for your help." Adrian replied as Sirius returned to his shadow while he followed Elder Ribbit to a chamber.
Now that Adrian could see Guru Polliwog directly, he could really tell that the frog beastkin in front of him is old. Guru Polliwog has a slight slouch that shows his age and also the fact that his skin is much coarser than Elder Ribbit's. Frog Beastmen have their distinctive features being their eyes and ears which is that of a frog while the rest are mostly human. They are also said to have the smoothest skin as they always have this wet look, but they look drier as they grow older.
"This is the Hall of Patience where we usually tend to other Selvaggians that have difficulty controlling their Beastification. I never thought that I would use it to solve the worries of a demon but there is a first for everything.
Now tell me clearly what you need because you are very strange when I entered the depths of your soul. I am even wondering why you are alive right now. Are you even considered alive or is the blessing of being the Mediator of Death keeping you alive?" Guru Polliwog stated.
"Uhm? Pardon?" Adrian replied with a confused face.
"Let me simplify it this way as I found everything in the depths of your soul contradictory. I even found something terrifying lurking at the very depths of it which shocked my own spirit that I fainted. I can at least say that you are very much immune to any attacks regarding your spirituality." Guru Polliwog stated.
"Can you simplify even more? I think my brain is glitching from what you are telling me." Adrian asked as he did not know what Guru Polliwog is telling him."Your soul is basically made up of different energies that should not have been able to mix together. I suspect that the terrifying being in the depths of your soul is the reason why you are still alive, but I am not sure. It is actually quite shocking that you are still alive at this point since you could very well explode suddenly because of your soul being volatile." Guru Polliwog stated which suddenly made Adrian realized some words told by the other gods of death to him.
"Interesting soul for a living being." The God Ah Puch once told him in passing when Adrian encountered the creepy looking god of death.
"You are a living paradox, Mediator Equinox." The God of Death Hades told him when he was about to leave his underworld domain.
"I think all of the gods of death have the same opinion as you. I just thought that they were interested in my soul which is why I did not stay much in the death realms. To think that they were actually saying that I am lucky to be alive with the soul that I have." Adrian muttered as he remembered all the gods of death that he encountered would have this comment one way or the other.
"I can vaguely feel that both energies that are a majority of your body is fighting for supremacy, but something is keeping them in line. Your Soul Root that I have seen inside of your body might be the cause of your temporary stability." Guru Polliwog stated.
"What is this, Soul Root?" Adrian asked as this is the first time he heard of this.
"A Soul Root is basically what your soul embodies due to the collective experience and enlightenments that you have as an individual. Soul Roots are different for each person, but they can be similar in general terms. For example, my Soul Root is this." Guru Polliwog stated as he suddenly emitted an energy that actually used the power of his soul.
Adrian was about to tell him to stop since he knew that using the energy of his soul would lessen his life span, but he is shocked to see the control that Guru Polliwog had. When beings usually use what Adrian calls Soul Energy, they would lose a percentage of their life span depending on how much they burn but Guru Polliwog defied that expectation. Guru Polliwog's Soul Energy basically is released but he is also able to control it and not have it dissipate.
Adrian looked at the image that Guru Polliwog showed him using soul energy. The image of Guru Polliwog's soul root is a large burly monstrous frog that looks like a world boss if it was real. Adrian could feel the clear soul energy being regulated by Guru Polliwog and he also felt when he retracted it back to his body. A clear look of amazement can be seen on Adrian's face which made Guru Polliwog become proud looking.
"Amazing. I have never seen such clear control over soul energy before. Is this what Guru's can do?" Adrian stated.
"It is too early to be amazed, young mediator. Having full control of their own soul is a must for one to be even considered a Guru." Guru Polliwog stated.
"It is similar to one of Kabrakan's skill where he releases an independent Astral Projection of himself. Now I know why he is a great candidate for becoming a Guru as Elder Ribbit said." Adrian added.
