"To dare invade the soul of someone I am overseeing, you've become even more daring than you were in the past," the holy aura continued.
"Divin-"
"That's enough," the holy aura cut off Celestial Soulrend.
The temple soul silenced instantly, and once more John was shocked. Even a powerful soul like that was cowed by the holy aura.
"You were unaware, or I'm sure you would have never dared to do so. This formation of yours is truly not bad, you must have spent a terrifying amount of resources and time on it. It's thanks to it that I am willing to come out in the open, so I won't be too hard on you."
"It's thanks to this formation that I've been able to linger on for so long as well. But my time is soon coming to an end," responded Celestial Soulrend.
Silence filled the air before the holy aura continued. "I see you've yet to find a successor, even after all this time, and you refuse to take someone like him even with your soul on the verge of collapse," said the holy aura.
