Capítulo 176: Escaping The Realm

Clutching his head in pain, the man glared at Alice before taking deep breaths to calm himself. 

Both Alice and Ria were confused by his reactions but right now there was nothing they could do.

'She has no soul yet she is in this realm. Something is anchoring her down to the realm of the living… But what?' The man thought to himself.

He had attempted to peer into the true nature of their souls, to see why they were able to resist the influence of his most benevolent lord. For Ria, it was because the Cult of the Eclipse kept its hold over her.

For Alice, it was something far too paradoxical in nature. A being with no soul yet she is still pulled into the realm of souls. She who should by rights be a husk could think and act on her own.

Strange, too strange.

Getting over the initial shock of almost having his soul devoured by this husk, the man watched in silence as he contemplated his next moves.
