"That... how is that even possible?" The woman was shocked. She couldn't believe what she had just seen. She knew that there was only a residue of Orion's soul in the sphere, so she couldn't understand how the residue managed to break the sphere and fly away.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Mother..." Just then, a very faint voice rang in her ears, causing the woman to tremble. She immediately turned her attention toward her daughter and saw that she had awakened.

"Briana, my daughter, you are awake!" The woman started crying upon seeing her daughter finally open her eyes after so many years. She immediately hugged her, never wanting to let her go again.

Meanwhile, Orion's soul flew at light speed before disappearing into the sky.

Orion could only see wind and clouds rushing by as his soul sped through the air. Then, a gate appeared in front of him. "What's that gate?"

"No! This can't be!" Grey Orion cried in shock.

"What? Do you recognize it?" Orion asked.

"No, I don't, but the aura coming from inside the gate definitely belongs to the Null Void," Grey Orion said in despair.

Orion sighed. "It seems we're doomed to die, as we're not stopping. My soul is flying on its own toward the gate."

Just as Orion's soul reached the gate, it opened and sucked his soul back in.

Somewhere in the Null Void, there was a red gate shining brilliantly in the grey, colorless world.

The gate suddenly opened, and Orion's soul passed through it.

Orion frowned upon hearing him. "Is this because of the chaos energy? I also want revenge. I also want to kill them, but I haven't lost my reason enough to attack a city out of nowhere."

Grey Orion sighed. "As we know, mana is a positive energy that comes from positive feelings and emotions, while the exact opposite of it is chaos. Chaos carries dark, negative emotions. You can't use your abilities without thinking about negative thoughts, right? It's because of this reason. The chaos energy is flawed, full of resentment and negative emotions."

He added, "You only use chaos energy, so its effect on you is slightly lower, but I am entirely made up of chaos energy, and the constant flow of infinite chaos energy only makes things worse for me."

Orion sighed but also knew that the seed of revenge inside him wouldn't exist for nothing. He really wanted revenge, and he couldn't deny that, but the chaos energy inside him acted like fuel, intensifying the flame of revenge.

"I guess... this is it for us," Grey Orion said as Orion's soul was drowned to his neck. Only his head remained visible above the ground.

Orion nodded and said something he was curious about. "This drowning thing is surely taking its sweet time."

"Now that you mention it, it's very strange. It shouldn't take this long to devour your soul," Grey Orion said.

"Well, who cares?" Orion shrugged. "At least I had someone to talk to before I die."

"It's nice knowing you, partner," Grey Orion said.

Orion smiled lightly. "Same."

Just after that, Orion's entire soul was engulfed by the ground as darkness clouded both of their visions.
