Chapter 227 The Chasm Between Reality and Lies!

Before the melodic whispers...

Discover hidden tales at empire

Pyris was caught in contemplation between the melodic whisper of the voice that seduced him with promises of power and status.

Everything to Pyris felt like a trial to him and he could instantly tell his trial would be abnormally different from others but one thing was clear...

[Ding! You're being infected by the Mist Of Fulfilment!]

With the sudden notification from the system, he realized the nature of the trial they were being subjected to.

"Mist Of Fulfilment, huh? Quite the name!" Pyris gave a dry chuckle.

It felt like it was about torment like he had assumed when the mist started spreading and now thanks to the system notification and the earlier expressions from the figures who fell victim of the mist, and the seduction of the voice, it was clear as day;

The trial was to escape your desires, your deepest desires or become a soulless like others.

The system wasn't done though...

[Mission: Escape the mist with none of your companions turned into energy puppet feeders!] Their went the mission.

Pyris narrowed his eyes at the mission, he tried reaching to Lia but he couldn't, was it the system that cut them off so that he won't get any help or was it the mist?

The former made more sense.

He read forward.

[Rewards: None!]

"Well, aren't you generous?" But that was it.

He will get no rewards but given that he was to save his life and his companion's, the rewards faded in comparison.

The voice was still whispering to him but Pyris seemed to have developed immunity to it, all it was promising him were things he was going to get anyway and he didn't need it's help for that.

"I'm rather disappointed!" Pyris said directly to the voice. Couldn't it use a more different approach to tempt him? He shook his head as he prepared to break the stupid voice.

Pyris had so many desires and the voice hadn't even scratched even the surface of them, but the voice was perhaps oblivious of them?

Was his soul unreadable? Yes, that could explain a lot from the fact that the voice could only use the immortals, gods and his family background to tempt him.

It was clear it could only see the past of his soul.

Was it the ring or was it the fact that his soul wasn't originally of this world?

Whatever the case Pyris wasn't about to let the little useless investigation cloud his hands full, he might as well be left here in the lies of this strange mist.

For Pyris the difference between reality and lies were vast to be fooled. Did the mist forget he had Mastery in illusion?

How many illusion abilities did he have?

If he was given an opportunity to be the one tempting the mist he could give it a run for it's money!

Anyway...

He had to break the illusions of others. He didn't believe for a second that they too had immunity to the ensnare of the mist like him, perhaps Zara had not fallen victim?

Still having to save them is where lay the biggest challenge.

"System you sure could have given me a reward!" How difficult was to break others from their desires. He just hoped Alera's desires of Fulfilment wasn't something crazy like commanding and empire of undead creatures—lest he will have to fight them to reach her.

He didn't expect a reply from the system and he was right he didn't receive any, "I kind of miss that chatterbox, although she sometimes turns quite for days as well!" Lia would have been talking away.

As if the mist had realized he couldn't be fooled the mist clinging onto his form dispensed but to show it's dominance here, it tightened around the others even more.

"Hah! Turns out... the witch also has a soul as well!" It felt ironic somehow to think that Zara had desires as well apart from having immense power.

Pyris had realized that promises of power had no effect on him and given the unfathomable power of Zara, she didn't need these stupid promises and would have broken the illusions instantly—faster than he even did.

So this meant that the crafty mist had found it's way into her soul manipulating Zara by her hidden desires.

"Ahh~ the thrill of saving my arrogant witch!" If she didn't get a good come back, Pyris knew he would be able to tease her for days.

But as his eyes darted to Alera standing next to Zara, he was astonished—unlike others, she wasn't smiling, the opposite of it.

She was on her knees with tears spilling out of her eyes, he knew exactly what was happening? The mist had failed to find her desires opting to first break her!

"Shadow Of The Forgotten!" Pyris uttered in realization, the words weren't for show or to make Alera sound OP it was that she was indeed OP—at least she would become.

"The shadows are protecting her soul?" As one who shared Living Shadows with her, he could tell instantly but it was just that, it wasn't as simple as mere words.

"Don't worry Lovebug, daddy will save you!" With a declaration, he walked to her with steady and confident strides, pink hued aura was pouring out of his being, it made the space pulsate slightly.

Then a violet glint flashed deep in his eyes.

[Illusions!]

Yes, Pyris was going to fight illusions with illusions.

Reached her and tapped her forehead slightly, with no restrains from her, a sigil of a pink dragon violet eyed dragon lit up on her forehead before it disappeared within.

He smiled how easy it was to get access to one's mind when they were defenceless.

And thanks to the Living Shadows and her soul, her being didn't consider him a threat or ot would have been a battle. Perhaps only Zara and Alera could offer resistance to him amongst those here.

Pyris cleared his mind before closing his eyes, his consciousness slipped into Alera's but not before he had all the Living Shadows surround him to alert him if anything was happening outside.

"Well said! She's indeed Death itself!" Like a beacon of hope his voice brought relief to Alera surprising the voice.

{How did you enter here!} It shouted, enraged, the mindscape shock.

"Don't shout now, would you? This is a reunion you're ruining here!" Pyris chuckled before helping Alera up, hugging her.
