Chapter 87 This Can Only Go My Way

After passing the rift, the journey was not far anymore. They strode along a winding path and reached a point that Northern knew all too well.

Northern at first squinted his eyes suspiciously, although the place occurred to him as familiar, he couldn't pick in his memory which point he had arrived here.

'Maybe it was just one of the times from when I was lost in my subconscious' Northern turned his head around.

Even though he had given himself a reasonable explanation, it was still puzzling. He almost felt as if he was being lazy in his mind. for new novels

So, he tried to think deeper.

This point, they had traversed from stony earth to black soil, the air around this area was pungent and disgusting.

And almost suffocated Northern.

The terror on the other hand does not look to be affected by things such as smell, all the times Northern have been assaulted by bad odors, it stood unaffected.

Northern felt jealous a bit. Of all things he could condone...but bad smell...

'Damn those kids with body odors in the town'

He would go as far as distancing himself with anyone that stank, bad breath or body odor, whatever kind of bad smell it was.

He paused and looked leftwards as they walked the moisty black soil that threatened to sink their legs.

Seeing a cavern entrance, a few memories effortlessly flooded into his mind.

"Of course..." A wistful smile appeared on his face as the sight rang a bell in his mind.

'Mr Fluffy...'

He paused and stared into the darkness of the cave for a while. Then his eyes shot wide—Northern dashed forward immediately.

Not caring that the terror might mistake his action—Night Terror however, cocked its head left and right before following Northern, and it did not run.

Northern made his way through the inky darkness of the cave without any discrepancies. Then stopped.

Small twigs were gathered together, their edges burnt off, and ashes underlaid beneath.

Northern narrowed his eyes.

'It's fresh...'

Just like the time he came here...

'There's someone living in the cave?'

Then he dragged himself towards the next one, which was the smallest, situated in between.

Night Terror wordlessly...sorry...growllessly observed the human as it began digging with what should be a weapon of war.

A mantle of authority that the lord of the castle had itself bestowed upon him. An expression of amusement contorted morbidly on the monster's face.

The monster almost flared as Northern shouted:

"Yes!"

Licking his upper lips like a dubious maniac, he began to remove all the soul cores and there were quite a number of them.

Northern when he was done stood up, turned and pointed to the cores, his eyes glimmering with pride.

"Here, I've seen you eat soul cores, you can eat these too and become stronger for the purpose of what lies before us!" Northern stated confidently to the monster.

His act of silence was met by a grave silence, Night Terror had a deadpan expression, first unresponsive.

Then it slowly shifted its four eyes to look at the piles of soul cores on the ground, brought them back to Northern and narrowed them.

It too...was probably as cautious as the human. And Northern could see that.

With both of his palm extended into the air Northern gestured:

"Calm down, calm down... I'm not being thoughtless. I will get automatically stronger as I fight but you I presume have to eat these. So it's a fair trade, isn't it?"

The monster after staring at Northern for a dozen seconds finally trudged forward and picked one core.

The monster crushed the core within its hand then poured it into its mouth, moving onto te next one.

Behind the terror, Northern sneaked out a menacing grin.

Now that the second part of his plan is done... Night Terror at least until their battle is bound to trust Northern enough not to look back.

Monsters were simple minded after all no matter how intelligent they seemed.

'I can do this...'

He had spent so much dreadful time in this hell and finally, he will end it himself. There is only one way this can go...

Northern looked at Night Terror, his blue eyes glowing, subtly radiating an ambience of cold brutality.

He muttered:

"This... is only allowed to go my way. I will end this hell today"
