Chapter 288 Soul Vessels [Part 1]
Northern resumed his day as usual, although due to the previous night's conversation, he was now more aware of his surroundings.
And strangely, they too seemed more aware of him too.
The White Walkers did not miss any slight chance to be vigilant, and the proximity they allowed him to their leaders was intensely supervised.
All these were hints to Northern that something very strange was happening among these creatures.
Perhaps they were not the kind creatures he thought them to be.
But how and why? He was conflicted.
Even up until this very moment, they have not reacted in any contradicting manner as to which they had portrayed themselves.
With how vigilant they are around him, when he walks up to them and greets them, they reply ever so lively, like they are full of so much joy.
But today, those genuine smiles of theirs seemed fake. Northern didn't know if that was his own issue—maybe he just couldn't bring himself to see the sincerity in their smiles after all the suppositions that he and Raven had made in the midnight hour.
Now, that did not mean that their smiles were not genuine, or maybe they were not...
That is how confused Northern was.
He sat at the edge of the ice cliff where he usually taught Ulzred.
Usually, he would be walking around and enjoying the attention people gave him, but this time it was different.
He wanted to clear his head; he wanted to think.
He continually glanced into the clear white sky, the colors in them were as though they didn't exist, but Northern could see them.
It was faint and obscured because of the light of day.
'I wonder what is the source of light around here...'
Northern had observed the absence of a daystar, which was why he proposed the question in his mind.
However, he didn't think he'd stay long enough in this rift to find out about that information.
Another thing that kept bothering him were the bitterness and mystery he had read about in the Tower, with everything said and done.
His mind continually inquired about the question, "Is the Chaos Prince dead or alive?"
Northern didn't know which answer to wish for. With the way the Chaos Prince was portrayed, he looked like someone who was a menace for a living.
Someone with a lot of trouble.
If he knew Northern had his powers, would he be willing to let him live?
Northern suddenly felt his blood run cold; the thought of encountering the Chaos Prince, in fact, any Origin or Tyrant made him shudder with fear.
And the only solution to this fear was to get stronger.
He suddenly felt that overwhelming rush to do something; he just didn't want to be like this, for the sake of the future at the very least.
So he wouldn't lose his head before he even knew it.
Because these beings... he was sure they existed at a different stratum than he or anyone had ever known.
They were the true definition of monsters.
He closed and opened his eyes gently, then he moved away from the edge of the cliff.
Northern gulped and answered,
"Yes, let's merge a soul."
[Choose your soul]
[Koll]
[Corpse Eater]
[Corpse Eater]
There were several other Corpse Eaters, then bulfors. But Northern was just after two souls for now.
"Koll."
[Koll has been selected. Do you want to merge Koll with Pangu, Lamla, Cuckoo, Hentu or Shei?]
"Let's merge him with Pangu..."
[Merging soul Koll with Void Summon Pangu]
[Merging Complete]
Immediately, the fog in front of him danced a little bit and seemed to reduce.
Pangu's new information appeared:
