Chapter: 24, Battle of the Crimson Spire
Noir was right in front of the towering spire, and there he met with the thousands of nightmare creatures. Every single one ranked either fallen or corrupted, their classes various from beast to tyrant.
As he slowly walked ahead, the army of abominations sensed him. They all rushed ahead to tear him to pieces –it is useless but still- The army of abominations rushed at him by the orders of the terror.
Noir took out a supreme armor and a supreme sword as a weapon. As the glowing light turned into the memories, Noir rushed ahead with lightning speed with a swift blow.
Noir was only a dreamer right now, but he can easily contend with a Supreme because of the sheer number of soul cores he have. Even though the physical cores were on the cloned bodies, but since they all share the same soul subspace, all of them share the same strength boost from them.
Currently, his soul space was illuminated brightly by the countless suns in the sky. Completely turning the blue sky of soul space into white.
Noir swung his blade completely severing the head of a small number of abominations. He also used Aura's magic to create a Rasen-shuriken with the properties of fire.
He threw the shuriken in the middle of the hoard of nightmare creatures. As a large boom resounded throughout the battlefield, a tornado of fire formed burning the skins of many abominations and killing some.
As the burning tornado raged through the hoard of abominations, Noir waved his hand and an earth wall lifted, towering above the hoard. With his command, the wall leaned toward the army of abominations.
The field was colored blood red as the wall crushed many abominations with its mountainous weight. Noir didn't stop his movements; he used his sword and use essence to throw a wind blade.
The abominations in front of collided with the slash and got cut in two. Noir looked ahead and rushed in lighting speed to find some spire messengers. Without stopping, he slashed at them one by one, the spire messengers were cut in many places and eventually their head fell off one by one, making their body fall.
After about ten minutes, Noir completely wiped out the abomination army. He walked inside the spire and looked at the seven statues of the Starlight Legion's members. Without any delay, Noir destroyed all the statues.
He then took out the seven oath keys and put them in their place one by one.
As soon the last key was in its place, an earthquake shook the ground.
The sleeper army felt the earthquake and gulped the fear in their eyes clearly visible. They looked at Jin and seeing that he was calm, the reluctantly walked ahead.
In the Big Crater in the middle of the Forgotten Shore, The dark sea was forcefully brought out of the crack to the Underworld, and sucked towards the spire.
As the sea rose and got sucked into the well to be sealed, the dreamer army saw the horrifying scene and was trembling with fear.
Soon the sea was completely sealed into the well and the rumbling stopped. Noir then took the stairs and went to the upper floor where the gate was placed.
He then saw the Crimson Terror or Nameless Sun or the Goddess of the ruined Cathedral.
Noir just stood in front of the Terror and it did the same. Eventually, with a slight movement, it bowed. A corrupted terror with the last semblance of its sanity intact bowed to the one who'd free her from the agony of countless years.
Noir swung his blade and with clean cut The Crimson Terror was dead.
[You have slain a Corrupted Terror: Aurora of the Shore]
[You have received a Memory…]
[You have received an Echo…]
The spell whispered in his ears as he looked at his Spell Panel. At the end of his attribute section, he saw the attribute.
[Soul Conduit]
Attribute Description: "A living Soul Conductor machine from the ancient times has been stripped of its conduit. Choose a new conduit to keep the machine going."
Noir was looking at the Description when Aura appeared besides him and throwing the horrified Caster beside the Terror.
"So, start the process. For some reason, Jin is making them run here. Maybe he is bored of the slow pace but they will be here in at most half a day." She said.
Noir sighed, and did something. (I don't know what he did) The [Soul Conduit] attribute activated in Casters Soul Sea.
As the attribute disappeared from their panel, Noir sighed in relief. He wasn't sure if this method would work or not. He could only gamble on the method he thought.
He used his [Blessings of Soul] to forcefully activate the [Soul Conduit]. Thankfully, this method actually worked.
Now there was a new problem, Casters living body. He needs to hide this inside the spire. Since Caster's soul was now connected to the Crimson Spire, he would turn into a Hollow in waking world.
Soo now his consciousness will be stuck here. Noir looked at the shimmering gate, and looked up to the ceiling.
Having an idea, He created a stone chamber having the face of the crimson terror right above the shimmering gate with the supports connecting the sides.
Aura lifted Casters body and put it inside the chamber. As the stones covered his body caster's red eyes looked at them with rage and hatred, as if wanting to kill them. But his wishes were for naught, Even if he was in perfect condition his strength was not enough to defeat hem and he knew it.
He has witnessed the chaos outside. If someone can kill all of those abominations and still survive, he could say that even his father, who was a saint, was no match for that person.
With reluctance in his eyes, Caster saw the light one last time as the liquid stone covered his eyes, engulfing him whole and turning solid in a spherical shape.
Noir wasn't worried about him starving to death. The Crimson Spire would make sure the conduit is alive unless an external force destroys it.
Noir sighed and looked through the opening towards the incoming sleeper army far away and said "Well... time to finish this Arc."
