Chapter 687 Oracle Of The Night

Effie and Kai seemed like they had some questions, but they chose to remain silent… at least for now Of course, they kneho Mordret was and had a general impression of his powers — Sunny and Cassie had described their experience in the Night Teh detail, so that their friends, as well as the Fire Keepers, knehat they would be facing should they cross paths with the Prince of Nothing

However, even Sunny hi of how Mordret's Aspect functioned, and so did Cassie So hearing hoerful he had grown in the Nightmare was a shock to him

'The Mirror Beast was a devil… had it been created as such, or had it earned htmare Creatures, as Saint did? If it is the former… then does it mean that Mordret was more than a Terror once? He had many Reflections before clan Valor imprisoned him, too… Gods, just what kind of a menace Anvil's firstborn was in the past?'

And,to becohts were interrupted by Cassie, who spoke again after re silent for a while:

"In any case, destroying Mordret's body was not too hard He appeared wearing the body of the priestess who had been first sent to find hi so was useless, because he could just take another In the chaos of the battle, I couldn't explain what dire powers the eneht Temple And, more than that…"

She shook her head somberly

"In theto do Was I ht world? Were we not supposed to be allies? No matter how vile Mordret was and despite what had happened between us in the past, here in the Nightoal"

The blind young wohed

"So, after a bloody battle, Mordret escaped our trap and disappeared Soon after that, we learned of the massacre that had taken place while ere distracted by his deceit And after witnessing the desolate town that his Reflection had slaughtered… I was disabused of the notion that he and I were the same in any way Sadly, by that time, it was already too late"

Cassie lowered her head, then continued quietly:

"After feasting on the souls of the town's inhabitants, the Reflections became much more powerful Mordret was not bound by the necessity to stay hidden anyrew , and the nu speed The erous he beca the Awakened serving the Night Temple, there were a lot of those who possessed means to contain him Especially the Eyeless, who, like me, were immune to his possession But Mordret knew that as well And so, he went after those who could threaten hi solemn

"Eventually, people — those ere still alive, at least — becaht Teh Priestess would protect therew desperate, as well We begged the One in the North to intervene She was a Transcendent, and an oracle without an equal, after all… and despite her indifference, my lady promised to face the creature herself That day, people were so relieved that they held a grand celebration"
