Before It's Too Late

"It's done, you can't go on any further" A voice rang, seeping into his ears.

Rex opened his eyelids slowly.

He was greeted by the breathtaking sight from atop the Silken Citadel but the beauty of the place seemed hollow or rather—he was hollow from what had happened. It was still stuck in his mind and he couldn't help it as he wasn't given any time to digest it.

From behind, Elder Tilrith circled him and stopped in front.

"Going any further would only endanger you, it's best to stop here," She suggested firmly.

It was already the next day, the sun was poking shyly out from the horizon.

Despite the complete failure due to the unexpected appearance of the Invincible Apparition, Rex asked Elder Tilrith to do her best to strengthen his soul. She infused her soul power into him all night long, but even then, she only managed to give him 15% of her soul.
