Chapter 1363
There was a gong, and a flash of panic appeared on Twilight’s face. It would be the sixth gong. She said that alarm signaled a day had passed. King Diorite had said that in seven days, he’d ignite my soul and attack the darkness. That meant that in seven days, my soul would be destroyed, and it was hard to say what would happen to Twilight. We only had one alarm left, and then the day of the attack would come.
“This is how Gaia was able to defeat me. Even we worlds have our limitations. Gaia streamlines the process by dragging your soul into a blender. She doesn’t run countless lore as I do. Thus, her processing speed is faster. In other words, time for you all moves faster than time for me. That’s why we must hurry.”
I licked my lips. I still didn’t know what I should do, but sitting around and doing nothing seemed like a bad idea.
“Okay, what do you want?”
Twilight’s expression finally relaxed. “I’ve come to you because you’re the only one who can help me. The world I created wasn’t just there to show you how happy your life can be with me, but it was also there to explain to you how we can escape our current predicament.”
“You mean… calling my soul?”
“Yes, Shao’s shadow magic was the closest thing in your memory to what is known as Soul Crafting. Soul Crafting is many levels above what your people are allowed to know. It’s the ability to manipulate lore directly. Anything that gets close to Soul Crafting is usually destroyed by Gaia. In other words, this is magic you cannot learn on Faerith.”
“What about the shadow magic?” I asked.
“Did you ever wonder why demons are such world enemies? Gaia rarely interacts so directly with the world. She doesn’t just wave her hands and cause a volcano to wipe someone out. Her movements are more subtle, and they take thousands of years to culminate. She’s tried to remove demons, to slowly destroy them. Well, I prefer such an approach too, but I no longer can afford to. I created this avatar to contact you directly because I have no other choice.”
“I see, so how do I summon my soul then?”
I decided to first find out all of the information, and then decide what to do. I just hoped I still had the time to make that decision.
“I’ve created a piece of lore with the Soul Crafting magic on it. It’ll be much like a blessing. Once you bind it, your affinity to souls will increase, and you’ll gain a relevant job. The 1st skill is Soul Summon.”
“Just like that?” I widened my eyes.
“Just like that.” She responded.
“And what happens after? What happens after I summon my soul?” I demanded.
“I’ll absorb it.” She responded. “And you’ll live out the rest of your existence in peace and happiness. Garnet and… the other one will join you. So will the rest of your girls, in time.”
“How can I trust that?”
“I’m not lying to you.” She responded. “The reason I waited so long was that I wished to show you my sincerity. However, if you do not choose this option, then your fate is sealed. Accept my lore, call your soul, and strip my enemy of his counterattack. Let him rot away to time as he was meant to.”
What choice should I make. I didn’t know what other option to choose. I bit my lip and nodded.
“Okay.”
