"I don't know if you want me to drink the water of truth. Everything you do is to spread doubt. I came here to drink the water, and you want me to reconsider. If you really want me to drink, you will never hinder me."

"No!"

The Secret Keeper growled and opened his dagger like teeth.

Eldral dispersed his spirit blade and rushed towards the waterfall. He raised the bottle of soul and quickly pushed it into the flowing energy.

With lightning speed, he turned to look at the Secret Keeper, and then put down what he contained - that

The liquid looks like sweet acid.

His sense of victory lasted only for a moment until the happy laughter of the secret keeper came into his ears.

When the power of the naked tears flowed into him, the sound of his own heart joined in.

"How old-fashioned and boring, but pleasant, eldral."

The devil smiled again. When eldral's soul burned with the energy of sub space, the devil's voice and the false image in his vision gradually became more and more blurred.

"I just want to taste your soul when you know the creation."

The flame of naked tears ran rapidly in eldral's spirit, threatening to burn him up with its power.

The hall began to revolve around him, accelerating and accelerating again and again, until it turned into a spiral of time, forever circulating from beginning to end, and he was just a grain of dust under the chaotic storm, which was arbitrarily swept and manipulated by this indifferent force.

In the sound of the foam and flames of the spray, he heard the ridicule of keeping the secret.

Pride, the devil dealt with him with his own pride, with the idea that he could not mistakenly look for naked tears.

But in the same way, pride saved him.

The anger brought by the idea of being the prey of the devil's trick became a pillar in his heart, an unshakable foundation under his feet.

The stubborn refusal composed of pure arrogance was cleared by the torrent rushing around him from the waterfall in an attempt to drown his spirit,

He absorbed the flame, drank deeper water, and let its power pour into his body rather than fight it.

Eldral rushed out of the crazy water and rose in a circle of golden light to a secret land not far away. The vial and Scepter were still in his hand.

The devil's body twisted and spread like waves, turned into a huge monster with purple limbs and claws, and looked like an evil cow. Under the deeply wrinkled eyebrows, he looked at the prophet with gem like eyes.

The prophet raised his scepter and was ready to attack.

"It's not enough to drink naked tears, eldral."

The devil said:

"This power already exists in you now, but you must fall into the shadow of the depths of your soul so that you can see the truth they contain."

"Don't try to win from this failure. You didn't want me to get this power, but it belongs to me now."

"This is the happy expression I want to see."

The Secret Keeper leaned forward and leaned closer, and sweet breath sprayed on eldral's face.

He saw himself reflected from dozens of planes in his eyes, forming an image of resistance.

"This is your illusion. When you reach the peak of your self-confidence, it will be fleeting. Now come with me, eldral, and then you can control the stars. Love me again, and your people will be saved."

"My people don't need a demon to save them."

The prophet sneered:

"Tell your master that my cards are not finished yet. The immortal meteorite will be an eternal nightmare for you and your master!"

"Do you think a broken ancient god will save your group?"

The demon scratched its long jaw with an appendage that looked like a slender lobster claw.

"Hope for what you desire, eldral."

The demon stepped back, made a mocking bow, and slipped his tongue over its fangs.

Suddenly, the door on the wall opened, and there was a golden light from it. Then the devil and the door disappeared without a trace.

The lightness of spirit was replaced by the crushing heaviness. Eldral groaned, opened his eyes and found himself sitting on a simple Futon in the crystal hall, surrounded by items that were only ephemeral in his long life.

None of them could be used as a means of his survival, but when he looked at his bare hands, he saw that the grain of crystal was spreading along the veins and bone marrow, taking root in his body.

After the freedom of this soul journey, his body was almost paralyzed, from head to foot, and there was no pain.

But his task has been completed.

In one of his hands, a sealed bottle of soul was emitting a strange light. Thinking of the secret words, he did not give up the crystal container.

The prophet's thought was affected by a free floating mysterious energy like a fire moth. When it swam in his body, he only felt the tremor of a force and exposed its secret in the thought he explored.

He saw the eternal matrix burning in the pure white flame and turning into ashes in the raging fire, but in the flame, there arose an existence with fire as its robe and stars inlaid with its forehead crown.

His face is cold but not cruel, like a ghost. He holds a shining halberd in one hand and a spiral burning sword in the other.

But there is something else moving in the dark.

Rows of skeletons appeared from the shadow, and the polished metal bones glittered with silver and gold, just like an active energy cycle. A green light spread from one planet to another, and the huge vault of the tomb was opened, pouring out a square array composed of countless ancient dead.

The ancient enemy of the spirit family is afraid of the dead.

"That's not right!"

With a suppressed cry, eldral broke free from his vision.

The crack of the soul bottle on the ceramic floor brought him back to reality, but his limbs were still shaking with shock.

He hobbled to the wall and supported himself with one hand. At the same time, strange nerve pulses flashed through the crystals in his body. Then a rune slipped out of his pocket on his belt and suspended over the fragments of the bottle of soul.

It turns slowly over and over again, like a snake trying to chase its tail.

Cosmic snake, domlac, symbol of wisdom and mystery.

Eldral didn't know what it meant, and he was too tired to explore immediately.

He stumbled to his seat, almost collapsed on it, numb limbs and thoughts.

Strangely, the cosmic snake floated before him and circled around a raised finger as the prophet thought about what to do next.

Looking at this strange symbol, the prophet suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Is... Paishang star going to have an accident?"
