[Challenger, what you have in your hand is an extreme risk to the tower's sanctity.]
Cedric would say that he's surprised that the tower's AI immediately warned him about taking this thing out, but he's really not. After all, it has to be one of the most advanced AIs out there.
"Apologies. But as you can see, I sealed it quite well... I think."
[It is, and that's the only reason why the guardians of the tower haven't been alarmed yet.]
The corners of Cedric's lips twitched as he heard the AI's message. Of course it's programmed to respond that way. After all, what he had in his hand was a soul contaminated by the corpse and remnant soul of an Outsider—an existence that is dangerous to all life. And even though it's only partially contaminated, it's still a major risk for the tower.
