The content in these eyes was hollow, the pupils slightly dilated, devoid of any outward emotional expression.
Seeing this, the elder instead let out a small sigh of relief.
He knew this was because the two souls had begun to merge within this body.
This process would need a bit more time to complete.
In the remaining time,
the elder didn't plan to waste it; he prepared to make some other arrangements.
He retrieved a bottle of glittering dust from a cabinet nearby.
He poured the dust into the bonfire at the center of the room and silently chanted a spell.
Bang!
The flames suddenly shot up over five meters high, causing the shadows cast throughout the room to sway back and forth. A figure, tall and imposing with dark purple skin and dressed in a crisp black military uniform complete with a wide-brimmed hat and exceedingly broad shoulders, appeared before the elder.
The entire figure stood there.
From a distance, it gave the impression of an unbreakable fortress wall.
