Shadow Slave: The Holy Emperor

I don't feel great. So that's why chapters aren't coming out often anymore and they will be a bit shorter senice I don't feel good enough to write for long periods at a time.

[You have Received Memory: Mantle of the Underworld]

--7 days later--(Nearing nightfall)

'seven days, it took seven days to fix [Mantle of the Underworld].' Keter began climbing the outside of the Bright Castle. 'The [Spatial Bag]s I got where for Nephis and Cassie. The other twelve were for when I start learning to Weave.'

A faint golden light surged as Keter's movements became soundless, and his scent disappeared. Keter climbed the castle carefully, his [Azure Armor] making him blend more into the darkness so as to not draw the guards' attention.

'Let's hope Seishan keeps her word.' 

It took Keter a little over half an hour to climb to the top of the Tower of Twilight. Keter climbed through one of the windows after using Miricle to unlock it.

'Damn, this place is nice.' Keter became quickly alert at the faint sound of a writing quill. Keter frowned, even as he enhanced his hearing, the sound of writing didn't grow any louder. A nauseous feeling overtook Keter for a moment before it disappeared.

'What the hell was that? You know what, it doesn't matter. Getting Gunlang on my side is the only thing that matters right now.' Keter walks to the end of the hall, where Gunlangs's room is.

'Seishan that both she and Gunlang would show up exactly at nightfall, which means they will arrive in six to seven minutes.' 

--??? POV--

[The Dreamspawn investigated his runes while making up countless plans to coax Gunlang to his side. His will permeated the very air around him, drawing the world inward. The Dreamspawn's head tilted towards the Usurper and the 7th Beast. The Usurper's eyes narrowed instantly designating the Dreamspawn as a threat......]

--Keter POV--

"There you are, it seems like you finally made it Gunlang." Keter stares unfazed at the man covered in flowing yet alienly gold armor. "That's quite the echo, you have there. Where did you get it?"

"The Dark Sea, Where else? That's where everyone gets their good memories and echoes." Keter could feel the venom reaching from his voice. 'I can't get a good read on him.' The echo was blocking Keter's [Eyes of Heart] and with being covered in golden armor, Keter couldn't read his body language.

"Indeed I've gotten quite a few good memories from the Dark Sea, hell even a few echos myself. Though I don't think I've ever gotten one from a Corrupted Devil."

The alienly gold armor bubbled and flowed till it formed a harpoon. Almost instantly Gunlang lunged at him. Keter's eyes widened as he saw the harpoon.

'A harpoon? I've only ever seen Clan Night use one.' Keter summoned [Starlight Legion Longsword] parrying the strike and then backing up. 'He's stronger than he should be. Someone with a Dormant or Awakened Aspect should not be able to output this much power as a Dreamer.'

Gunlang and Keter exchanged blows for a while and yet with each strike Gunlang's combat style became more and more familiar. 'The is the combat style of the main line of clan Night. How? I researched him before the Academy and he is most definitely not from Clan Night." 

The fight continued and Keter found more and more resemblances to clan Night, and yet 'It's wrong, no incomplete is a better way to call it. And yet it reminds me of someone, who though?' 

Even as the battle continued Seishan didn't step in and yet the ferocious battle stopped with a single word.

"Aurora"
