Chapter 288 Soul Vessels [Part 1]
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 summoned the new beings he added to his Void soul arsenal.
Immediately, a coagulation of blue smoke surrounded him. He first found it strange because he had thought them to be shadows when he first met them.
Now, however, they were more like a mass fog than shadows.
\'Let\'s see...\'
Northern immediately summoned their information.
Name: Pangu
True Name: nil
Danger Level: nil
Void Rank: [Echo]
Void Ability: [Soul Vessel]
Soul Fragments: [0/1000]
Northern frowned a little bit; he inspected the rest of the Summons, which were also the same thing.
When he was done, he scratched the back of his head in confused confusion.
\'What the hell?\'
However, just then, a new tab popped up to his view, saying:
Soul Vessel Description: [Pangu, Lamla, Cuckoo, Hentu and Shei are created as empty shells because they serve the purpose of holding a bodiless soul]
[Because of their purpose, they have an incorporeal form until a tangible soul is merged with them]
[After the soul is merged with them, they take on the identity of the soul; however, they maintain their own personality and can return to their incorporeal form upon command, while still holding the properties and abilities of the soul they hold]
[Do you want to merge a soul?]
When Northern was done reading, he felt his heart skip a beat. This was not like that time with Raven.
This was a good feeling, one that made all the hair on his body stand on end.
One full of excitement.
Because this just provided a very soothing solution to the one problem he had been facing all this while.
With this option, he really didn\'t have to worry about upgrading the Cloning ability, which usually would take a lot of his growth time and talent fragments.
Even after assigning the two most powerful souls he has now, he can still save the rest of the three for later when he fights more monsters.
\'This is good, very good.\'
He was particularly looking forward to having Krullgath. Not that he wanted to kill the commander; in fact, he dreaded the thought of it and hoped that he and Raven were wrong.
But really, even if he was wrong, when has Raven ever been wrong?
If there were chances for this notion to be wrong, Raven would definitely have pointed it out.
Everything matched up quite well and fitted together.
The more Northern thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt about everything.
Indeed, every rift has its own plight and difficulty. And one cannot measure the difficulty of one based on another.
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:
Name: Pangu(Koll) >
True Name: [The Second Shard]
Danger Level: [Catastrophe]
Void Rank: [Echo]
Void Ability: [Soul Vessel]
Soul Fragments: [0/1000]
Right in front of the name, there was another option to switch profile information.
Northern, after reading this tab, naturally switched.
