Chapter 343 Soul Conduit

He hesitated for a few moments, not sure how to answer As seconds passed by, the silence between the

Finally, Nephis blinked and looked away, staring at the corpse of the Crihtly

"Killed it? Yes… I did Got lucky, I guess…"

After a while, she added in a quiet voice:

"It was just a fake star, in the end"

Sunny shtly, but his eyes re or two about being lucky, Neph A creature like this would not have died just because of bad luck"

She rehed and looked down

"It was evolving… trying to become a titan The burden of transformation made it vulnerable I just happened to attack while the Terror was at its weakest That's why it died…"

ReadNovelFull a surprised expression on his face, Changing Star grimaced and pointed to the artificial sun

"Have you not thought about e have done?"

Sunny looked up, at the radiant sphere of light, and frowned

In all the chaos, he had indeed forgotten to consider the full scale of what had transpired after the battle, as well as the reasons for and consequences of it

Coht of the artificial sun destroy the souls of every living creature it touched? It had not been like this before the fall of the ancient civilization, for enerations, at least

But then, the Vessel had becohtmare Creature The Terror And at the sa darkness had been destroyed, letting it free

…So, in fact, the corrupted sun had never existed without the dark sea keeping it coht that the sun was restraining the dark sea Could it be… that it had always been restrained by the darkness, as well?

And when he banished the ancient curse and locked it underground… the sun was finally liberated fro into the annihilating white radiance

It had become free to do whatever it wanted

But there was so else…

As his eyes widened, Nephis nodded

"Yes The artificial sun does not just illuminate the vicinity of the Criotten Shore Its light reaches everywhere So… as ere fighting our way through the tower… otten Shore had been wiped out All that death, all those countless souls… guided into the Spire by the Labyrinth, like a colossal hecatomb, to fuel the evolution of the Crimson Terror"

And Nephis just happened to attack while the Terror was in the throes of that terrifying transformation Well… that wasn't a coincidence, htful look on her face as Neph had peered out of the gates of the Spire before giving the Dreamer Army the com that this whole region of the Dream Realhth to hide froh to resist it

Such a boundless influx of souls would indeed be enough to push the Crimson Terror to the next step of its evolution… devolution? Whatever it was that happened to Nightrewabout thislike that, then the evisceration of an entire region of the Dream Realm would certainly do the trick

Noever, the Terror was dead, and its corrupting influence was gone, turning the artificial sun back to its norh…

As if answering his thoughts, the Spire shuddered again Another slab of stone broke off froht of the sun grew a little bit di up, Sunny noticed that the artificial sun looked not as bright as it had just a few

…Was it dying? There was no vessel to channel soul essence into its furnace anyhts, Nephis suddenly spoke, her voice hoarse and tired:

"What happened to the others?"

Sunny shi+fted and looked down through the chasm in the chamber's floor

Far below, he could see the vast balcony and the shi+ of the Gateway on it Somehow, its shi+ne seemed… weaker The balcony, however, was eole, their semblance of life snuffed out when the Terror died

"Everyone has escaped"

Neph sighed slowly, as if with relief After a long pause, she htly and asked:

"What about Caster?"

Sunny glanced at her and shrugged When he spoke, his voice was cold and indifferent:

"I killed hi ti no one:

"So that's why…"

Suddenly, a bitter laugh escaped from her lips
