Soul Battle [Part 2]

From the very moment Northern realized that physical attacks were useless,

He had begun to think of something else. A gamble—one he had wanted to avoid taking. But in essence—

His belief was this: Every monster had three essential components.

Body

Soul

Soul Core

The possibility of encountering a creature without a body was zero. It was impossible—an idea that had no place in the order of existential constructions he had spent so long studying.

Through his frequent peering into ligatures, he had come to understand the fundamental threads that bound all things.

And one of those truths was this:

Everything had a body, a soul, and a soul core.

It was also why he had come to grasp just how much of an anomaly he was—

And why Ul would want to exterminate him.

But unfortunately for the goddess—Or whatever she was—

She couldn't.
