Volume 2: Funeral Song of Crows Chapter 38 The Falling Tower
Thinking of this, William couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Because the ceremony a thousand years ago was incomplete, the status of the "Father of Crows" as the King of Nothingness in the Moon Realm today is also incomplete.
It has neither the support of "fuel" nor a complete soul as its personified prototype, nor has it completely completed the final "reversal". For so many years, the "Father of Crows" has only instinctively exercised his authority, or made some specific actions through the remnants of Black's will - such as taking a vow of silence, or raising a storm in the Broken Sea to protect Ava.
Fortunately, the "fuel" of the ritual was not ignited at that time, and the seed of hope was preserved. And William happened to grab it from the hands of the three goddesses.
Therefore, even though William only had a piece of soul fragment left in his hand at this moment, he was still the one holding the initiative.
"But he can still reach the Moon Realm of the Father of Crows, Black Crow Watch, before you. He will absorb three-quarters of the power of the incomplete king in advance, and then he will wait for you there. If you don't choose to go and face him, he may use his incomplete authority to continuously cause disasters in the Vic Continent."
Valk reminded.
"Don't bother him to urge me. I will go to the Moon Realm to face him personally, no matter what he looks like now."
William simply replied.
…………
"The demon general named 'Mania' has returned to the Moon Realm? And what do you mean I was already crazy before?"
The voice of the tower keeper beside him brought William's thoughts back to the present.
The other party was staring at the soul fragment in his hand with a vigilant look, as if he was ready to snatch it back at any time.
William ignored the other party's behavior, and directly used the divine-level frost magic [Cocoon of Time] to seal the soul fragments, and then threw them into his own storage space.
After all this was done, he looked at the tower guard and said:
"It means exactly what it says. Because you stayed with Valk for too long, your mind was polluted and damaged by the power he brought unconsciously. But before he left, I asked him to help you recover. Of course, I can guarantee that he must have left some sequelae in your soul. I suggest you find a psychologist to take a good look at it in the future."
After saying this, he did not wait for the other party's response and continued:
"Okay, no more small talk. Now tell me your name. I have a task to assign to you later."
The tower guard with fiery red hair looked at the gray-haired, silver-eyed man in front of him as if he were a madman.
Whether it was what the other party had just said, asking the Void King to help her regain her sanity, or asking a keeper of a star lighthouse to obey his orders, it sounded too much like the ravings of a madman in her sleep.
"Don't you know that tower keepers are not allowed to reveal their names during their term of office?"
But after all, she couldn't see the depth of the other party's strength, so she still left some room for her words.
"Tower keeper?"
However, he didn't expect that the other party just sneered, then he snapped his fingers, and the surroundings instantly flashed with intense electric light.
When she came back to her senses , the two of them were already in the square outside the Star Lighthouse.
She opened her mouth and was about to complain, but when she saw the scene in front of her, she felt like a duck being held up by the neck. She opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't make a sound.
"There are no more towers left for you to guard."
The man's voice seemed to come from far away.
This star lighthouse, which was built on the Black Light City of Nakuland and has a history of more than 800 years, has now collapsed.
What's more, the collapsed image is extremely funny. This spiral-shaped lighthouse looks like it was treated as plasticine and kneaded into an arc that looks like a smile and lies across the ground.
"How is this possible? How can this be..."
The tower keeper stared blankly at the Serpent Lighthouse, which he would be guarding for five years in one month. He felt a trance in his mind, and the arc seemed to be mocking him.
Behind that arc was a constantly changing, twisted space, filled with psychedelic colors, and just one glance at it would make one feel dizzy, as if the brain had received an excessive amount of information.
Perhaps it was to allow William to better appreciate the drama, or perhaps it was to block other Void Kings from spying on this area. This time, the power projected by Valk through this star lighthouse was extremely powerful, basically temporarily moving a stage in the Theater of Ecstasy to the real world.
Fortunately, William had evacuated all the people in the fortress area beforehand, otherwise there wouldn't be a single person with an IQ capable of doing addition and subtraction within 100 left in this place.
Not only that, all the space blockades of the entire Star Lighthouse were directly destroyed by the opponent's power. At this moment, the Star Lighthouse was stripped of its disguise as a star realm circuit, revealing its essence as a moon realm rift.
A complete lunar rift opened in the land of Nakuland.
Looking at the curved broken tower and the constantly changing Moon Realm rift behind it, many broken memory fragments that had previously floated in the tower keeper's mind connected together, which made her cover her head in pain and squat on the ground, while she couldn't help but let out a crazy laugh.
“Crazy Fool, hahahaha… the Crazy Fool really is here, hahahaha…”
William now understood how Valk had restored the poor child's sanity.
He simply broke the memory of that period into pieces, and then stuffed them into the depths of her mind. As long as she came into contact with related things, she might unconsciously connect those fragments and fall into a short state of madness.
She might have severe PTSD about theater, laughter, and even arcs in the future.
After William used the [Calmness Spell], the other party finally regained his sanity.
She stared at William with her eyes fixed on him, and asked with a slightly trembling voice:
"You are the crazy... the 'disaster' that the Noble King mentioned?"
She recalled the conversation she had heard between this man and the void king. Although the Mad Fool Valk had never mentioned the other person's name, he had always called this man "disaster".
As a member of the family of a member of the Star Council, in addition to receiving more care than ordinary people in the promotion of magic casters, she also has the right to go to the library of the Star Council to learn more secrets that ordinary people cannot access.
Whether it is about the history of the past or the dangerous knowledge about the Moon Realm.
Among them is the record about the "Moon Realm Disaster". In history, there is only one person who has the title of "Moon Realm Disaster".
"Are you William Kane?"
she asked, trembling.
Although it was a question, her tone was more of awe.
If anyone told her that the man in front of her was William Kane, she would never believe it.
But now there is a Void King who has authenticated the other party's identity, which is more real than any evidence.
William did not answer the other party's question, but just repeated his previous words again:
"Now tell me your name, I have a task for you."
The tower keeper answered almost subconsciously:
"Julian Cathy."
"Then Julian, next I want you to lead the entire Black Light City army to defend this Moon Realm Rift."
William said.
…………
The storm of Crow Feathers gradually gathered into a human form, and the previous Crow Feather Prophet appeared on a reef in the Broken Sea.
The reef is an irregular triangle, and in the center of the reef there is an ancient throne covered with barnacles.
And on the throne, there was a person lying there, his whole body filled with curses, his body shattered like porcelain.
The Crow Feather Prophet looked at the body without any change on his expression. He just walked over without saying a word and placed the soul fragment on the armrest of the throne. Then he tilted his head again, took out a black brooch from his clothes, and also placed it on the armrest.
After doing all this, he took a few steps back, and then the coldness in his eyes instantly disappeared, turning into a puzzled expression in the blink of an eye.
After seeing the shattered man on the throne, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said:
"leader……"
+Don't rush+
The familiar voice of the soul appeared in his mind.
+When everyone is here , I will tell you the reason+
In the distance, a flock of crows flew across the storm and were heading towards the reef.
