Chapter 421 Lights Off (2/2)

As the Mindhive disappeared in the darkness, the first thing Daniel did was to check the amount of karmic points above he had, which if his opponent had truly died, should have been in the trillions However, no change had taken place, showing that whatever was the mind system's method to keep the mindhive alive, it had been put in place

As if on cue, a small wisp of unreactive consciousness formed within the place where the Mindhive had disappeared, and once it reached the size of a man's fist, it quickly retook the shape which the Mindhive previously had, and regained his consciousness

Naturally Daniel knew that to kill one of Iewah's children would not be that easy After all, the system had led hi as the body was alive, the Mindhive's consciousness would be iet rid of you after I kill your friend” Barked the Mindhive viciously before expanding his h the entire layer He then turned to look at the third threshold, and floated in its direction at an iain tiinal body of the Mindhive, Daniel tried to trap his body into a sphere of spatial essence Unfortunately, his opponent was prepared

The reason why the Mindhive had expanded his consciousness through the entire third layer, was because he could freely teleport wherever his consciousness was present The moment Daniel's power had started to forht, he disappeared, and reappeared elsewhere

Now dangerously close to the entrance to the fourth layer, Daniel gave up attacking, and teleport right behind him

The door immediately reacted to the presence of the Mindhive, and just like the other thresholds, it split into two, allowing the artifact's former owner in

Daniel knew that he would not be able to stop the Mindhive The only thing he could do was hinder hi to free the area of the mind warriors, he followed his enemy into the threshold

Many of theDaniel had been stuck in the third layer for hundreds, if not thousands of years The only thing that had kept the, they would one day nized worthy to enter the fourth layer That was the reason why, as soon as the door opened, they saw hope, and tried to make use of the situation

Unfortunately, they were not as fast as Daniel, and the threshold closed right in front of the away the hope which had just been created in their hearts

Fifth layer, Core's edge

When Aeron had reached the core of the Dream Domain, he had found himself in front of a simple house

From the way this house appeared fro in it for hundreds, if not thousands of years If not for the solid stone walls that stood strong, he would have thought that this ancient building was

The door was even sie froht could be seen shi+ne through, the door was held by the seees

It only took Aeron a simple look to know that this house was not a ht inside, they were all formed by mana, and had been taken in, and stored within a mental spell What this spell contained, was a place where the Mindhive did not expect anyone to be able to come A house that only existed in his memories, and that had been named by Daniel's system as 'Dream Core'

Aeron knew that whatever it was that he was looking for, was definitely inside this house, so without waiting too long, he reached for the door's rusty handle, and opened the door

Before the door could even move, Aeron was teleported inside the only room of this sie ruined ar, and a lit fireplace that was the source of the light that shone through the rotten edges of the door

The rest of the room was completely empty, with an exception ht next to the armchair On this table, were pieces of a sether, would create a cube A si e, ina step towards the ar the fireplace, an old and tired voice suddenly said, ”Seven thousand, four hundred and twenty-two years I have played this game Not a book to read, not a voice to listen to please just kill ave out, and he fell on his knees The feelings of sadness, hatred, terror, unwillingness All of the worst feelings he had ever felt in his life while cultivating, were present in this single voice, but accentuated to a point which Aeron had never i

The sheer emotions of this old man were so extreme, that even Aeron could not help but feel hurt by theed to stand back up on his feet, and wobble towards the ar beard, and eyes that begged to whos

”I see You have coed you” Said the oldto look back at the fire he had been staring at for the past thousands of years

This extremely sorrowful expression was broken when, contrary to all of the old man's expectations, Aeron placed his hand above his, and looked at him with pitiful eyes

”Who are you?” Asked thefor finallyto see someone different from his vicious captor A man who could feel for hi as so deep, that he found himself unable to speak However, he had already seen in the old man's mind who this person was Soo A chosen warrior of Iewah, and previous owner of the Mindhive's body The host of the mind system
