Chapter 356: Charon Evolves I

Adrian went further and further towards his inner soul. He suddenly realized that he was walking on top of a mirrored floor. It reflected his current form which is now his true form.

Adrian then saw something in the distance that is not pure black. A small child with a hood seemed to be laying on the floor. Adrian could only surmise that it is Charon because there could be no other entity besides it to be present this deep in Adrian's soul.

Adrian ran towards Charon, but its figure started to sink onto the mirrored floor. He ran upon seeing what was happening, but he is too late. Charon's whole body already sunk to the other side of the floor.

Adrian tried breaking the floor in order to free Charon, but he could not do so. The mirror floor that he is standing on is not normal because Charon is on the other side. Also, Adrian's side of the mirror has no black tree looking thing with its branches grasping nine orbs.

The large tree extended its branches to the mirrored sky that is in Adrian's side. Each orb looked like it measured with a height of three meters. Each orb also represented something as a runic character is written in them and at the foot of tree is half an orb.

Adrian is standing on top of this half sphere and he could feel that he is lacking. He does not know why but he was invaded by a feeling of lost. He then received a system notification after a few seconds of having this feeling of being lacking.

[You have yet to activate the other half of the Kabbala. Find the missing half in order to fully become one and different at the same time.]

Adrian then realized that the runic character on the dome is incomplete which means he needs to unlock the other part in order to use its effects. Adrian could only thing that this dark tree that is on the other side of the mirror is due to Nether Energy which is the antithesis of creation or life.

The reason that Adrian is on the other side of the mirrored floor is non-other than being alive. He needed to be dead in order to go to the other side or he needs to access the other half of the tree. Nevertheless, Adrian still tried to reach out to the sleeping Charon.

"Charon! Wake up buddy!" Adrian called out as he tapped the floor.

If Adrian was on the other side, then he would have heard that his voice is muffled. Still, his unrelenting nature paid off as he saw Charon's body twitch. Adrian then started to call out more aggressively and Charon emitted a yawn. Adrian became glad as Charon is finally awake and he could not leave this place.

"Charon! Can you hear me?" Adrian asked and Charon cutely nodded.

"Okay! Come here to the other side! I cannot fetch you there, so you have to come towards me yourself." Adrian commanded.

Charon then tried pushing on the mirror floor but the undead could not travel to the other side. The pair of white glowing eyes then manifested at the very top of the dark tree. Adrian did not notice it because he was focused on getting Charon to come to him.

The white glowing eyes then looked at Charon and the Life Eater looked above. Charon no longer hears Adrian's command because he was enticed by something that was whispered to him.

"If you want power then go towards the sphere marked by the number five." These were the words that Charon heard that was whispered to him.

Adrian saw that Charon floated to an orb with a mark of the number five. He wanted to stop Charon, but his voice could not reach him. Charon then touched the fifth orb and Adrian saw it glowed in a golden light as if saying that someone is inside.

Adrian could somewhat read the runic characters that showed up when Charon entered the orb. He then read it aloud.

"Thagirion" Adrian could somehow remember something of a word like that from past games but he could not remember exactly the meaning of that word.

The white eyes then glanced at Adrian before disappearing as if it has succeeded in what it wanted to achieve. Adrian thought that something bad would happen but nothing of the sort happened. He sighed with relief because he thought that those orbs are dangerous but in actuality; it is the root of his existence as a Netheros.

[Your Soulbound Charon has achieved Spiritual Resonance with you.]

[Your Soulbound Charon wishes to evolve. Will you give some of our energy to initiate the evolution?]

Adrian obviously replied with yes. The Nether energy that was present in Adrian's body started pooling to the fifth orb. Even Adrian's true form started becoming undone due to sheer amount of Nether Energy being sucked towards the fifth orb.

The change was not only present in Adrian's Soul Chamber as Pann noticed that the oppressive energy that Adrian was starting to lessen. Pann also noticed Adrian's paling face because of the sudden decrease in the young lad's energy.

Pan had no choice but to supply Adrian with energy that a Daemos could use which is Origin energy. It might be the same oppressive energy that Adrian released but it would be enough to resuscitate the lost energy. Think of it as someone with O type blood giving blood to another person because no one with the person's blood type is present to be a donor.

The Nether Energy that Charon is absorbing is so great in quantity that Adrian's Nether Gauge did not rise back from zero. This channeling of energy lasted for five minutes but Pann felt like he was giving Adrian Origin Energy for hours.

Adrian is awakened from his meditation only to see that a sphere of Nether Mist is in front of him that is connected to his Cube of Paradox.

"The beauty of evolution!" Pann stated as his eyes sparkled.
