Chapter 444: Lilith - Dark Conspiracy (1/2)

Is this all due to the Silver Devil, or are these forces working together to corrupt Arsene? It seems like we entered the lion's den.

'Tell me about the Monarchs Will?”

Monitoring how the very world around me turned to black, I saw a lonesome stone throne that sat high above, overlooking the realm of darkness. There was nothing spectacular or beautiful about it, but my gaze could not leave it.

”The Will of the Monarch is the Will of the absent king, formed by the endless chaos cycles without its rightful ruler. Back when Noctem was open, during the Age of Shadow, the previous Prince sought the throne but was killed by one of the Silver Devils' core members.”

Surveying the illusionary throne that was now within Father's hands, I circled it, pondering over the implications. ” Am I to guess this Prince is now inside Sene?”

”That would be impossible since he is a soul bender. Even if such a thing did not exist before the Great Change, we are now bound by its laws even here in the Ethereal Plane. A soul bender cannot be Soul attacked.”

But the Will. The Will itself is different. At the same time, it is a part of the Soul; it is also different due to the nature of a Will being so simple to even be considered a soul attack. Two Wills one that wishes for a Monarch, while the other wishes for who knows, but they were corrupting my Sene.

It is the Spectors doing, but it's due to the influence of the Monarch and the Prince's Will.

”So it's due to the Spector within Sene that is the cause of my concern. Is there a way to kill it?” I asked, not truly caring to sever such a thing from Sene. What I wanted to destroy were the Monarchs and Prince's Will.

They may be able to corrupt Sene's other self, but what if somehow they are able to get a mind of their own. They needed to die before his body adaptation saw them as part of the original.

”The only power capable of destroying such a power would be the Nether. A Qi formed only in the Plane of Oblivion. Due to its inherent properties of destroying souls, unlike demonic Qi that torments, Angelic that saves, and Etherial that prolongs. Nether Qi Destroys.” Said the Etherial voice.

More lies, no doubt. So only Abyssal Energy will help. That will explain Sene's dense killing intent regarding the Path of Abyssal Night. More lies and Truth, who the hell is after us?

”Do you know who it was who killed The Previous Prince? Sene might know who it is.” I asked, hoping this thing would not be like that.

”His name in this life and the last was Vancurro, The God Shattering Wolf.”

Scrunching my brow at the name, my mind flickered back, recalling the face of that man Sene and I met on the pier.

Was that him? God Shattering Wolf sounds so edge lordy.

(A/N: He likes wolfes lol.)

”During his Active years during the Days of Order and Chaos, Vancurro and Arsene waged war together against a man known as Aldrich under the order of the Silver Devil, Zariel Snow.”

”Wait! What! Snow?” I hastily shouted for him to explain.

”You thought it was just a coincidence? It was his mother's name, who was murdered out of spite—the now family of three then became known as the House of Snow.”
