Chapter 281 Securing the Core of Trinx
"My head hurts," Karsha groaned, holding his head like a baby. He woke up, clutching his head.
Clearly, he had some injuries, and mental fatigue had set in, making him wish he was dead. Using the Sword of a Deity to unleash his strongest sword move not once but twice was just too much for his current self.
Although the Soul Ring helped him endure the pain while using the sword, he still felt it deep within his mind.
After enduring the pain, he noticed,
"Huh, my hand is alright. " His hand had healed up. When he used the sword for the second time, the flesh on his hand had burst apart, revealing his bare bones, but now, his hands were completely healed.
"My Lord, you've woken up," Karsha heard a familiar voice and turned.
"How long has it been, Lunar? And did we kill that bastard?" Karsha asked.
He fainted before he could read the message about his kill, so he didn't know whether they had managed to kill the bastard or not.
"It's dead, My Lord. The last of the BloodHorn Panther Demons died," Lunar replied, her tone filled with joy. She had the right to be happy; after all, her people had died defending the core from those monsters.
"Is that—"
"Yes, this is the core, it's healing you," Lunar interrupted before Karsha could finish his question.
He realized he was still on the battlefield, but his surroundings looked more lush and vibrant than the previously barren wasteland. Now that the seal had been broken, the core had started healing the world again.
"The core healed you," Lunar added, making Karsha sigh. It seemed the core wasn't healing everything, just him alone.
Karsha turned around and slowly stood and sat in a lotus posture. He could tell his body had healed, but his brain was still not healed. The pain is still there.
"Khinux, buddy, you look hurt," Karsha noticed, seeing Khinux standing guard with his sword on his shoulder. He looked weaker than before.
"Go back, Khinux. I'll send you some stuff soon." Khinux nodded and disappeared back into his soul sea.
Karsha looked around and noticed a pile of bodies on one side. Slowly, he stood up and moved toward them. These were the bodies of monsters on the verge of becoming demons.
Clearly, what Lunar said about them not being actual demons was both true and false. They could become demons, and it seemed their leader had almost attained that state.
When Karsha used the [Info] ability, the name that appeared had "demon" in it, indicating that the monster was in some way a demon. Although not a true demon, it still had some of the makings of one.
"Huh, eleven drops," Karsha blinked twice. On the ground beside the bodies were eleven cores and eleven orbs—loot from killing the monsters.
"I guess I didn't hurt myself for nothing," Karsha smiled, storing the cores and orbs.
"Adding this to the drop from Old Man Teye, the two I received a few days ago, and these eleven, I am now rich beyond reason," Karsha muttered to himself.
He hadn't shattered Old Man Teye's core yet, so he didn't know what it contained. He wanted to, but he felt it was too early.
Since he didn't know what the drop would contain, he just left it in his space ring for the time being. There would be time for that later.
He also stored the bodies and then moved closer to the core. As soon as he stepped close to it, something in his soul sea started to vibrate.
Karsha stopped in his tracks and looked into his soul sea. Under a golden tree that seemed to have recently appeared, the egg he took from the treasury on Snake Island started to emit a faint aura of attraction.
"What is happening?" Karsha pondered, unable to understand. "System, anything?"
< I don't know the nature of the egg, but the aura around it is similar to the aura around the core. It is safe to assume there won't be any harm in putting the two together. >
Karsha smiled. He had his suspicions, but for now, he didn't want to jump to any sudden conclusions. It was too early for that.
For now, he would keep track of how things progressed and come to a conclusion later. If what Hans said was true, then he still had six things to find.
'System, send it to my soul sea,' Karsha instructed. The Core of Trinx vanished from the air and entered his soul sea. Immediately, a healing aura and an aura of creation started spreading across the entire space, even the dark areas.
The space began expanding. Trees changed, rivers flowed more lively, and waterfalls transformed, shaping the entire landscape into something that looked real.
At the same time, the golden trees started to transform. Runes began to appear on the branches and leaves. Although faint, Karsha immediately recognized them as runes.
BOOM! Just as everything was happening calmly, a burst erupted from one of the recently formed waterfalls. Karsha immediately appeared there.
He expected to find something grand; however, what he saw was a small seedling that had sprouted and was currently only a few inches tall. As he stood there, he could visibly see it growing. Although slowly, it was still growing.
"System, what is this tree?" Karsha immediately asked.
< I don't know the name of this plant, but the aura it exudes is similar to the aura around the egg and your soul weapon.
Since your sword is from the Primordial Era, it's assumed this plant is also from there. Although I can't come to a sudden conclusion due to my limited functionality as an inferior version, I can boldly say this plant is not something simple. It would be best if nobody knew about this. >
"That's a lot of information for just a simple tree," Karsha remarked, taken aback by the system's description.
< Your Sea of Consciousness is not like most; this space is like a real world on its own. Although there are records of Soul Seas like this, yours developed too suddenly.
For most people, they would have to advance to higher realms before attaining something like this.
So, if something like this is happening here, you should know it's perfectly normal. After all, there's nothing normal about you. >
Karsha could only smile and then went about exploring most of the changes. Small mountains formed, and more plants grew, but they were all the same as the previous ones.
Although they looked real and some had fruits on them, the system informed him that those fruits were energies formed from his soul. Once they ripened and fell, the energy would further nourish the space.
The Space has expanded to about 2 miles wide now and it's filled with too much energy. It seems the Core of Trinx is doing more than he had initially expected. After exploring there for a while, Karshe went back to the egg.
"Huh, it's glowing" The moment he appeared, he saw the egg glowing golden. It has long abandoned the core from Old Man Teye and started absorbing the energy from the Trinx's core.
He could feel the functions of energy coming from the Core and for a split second, Karsha could swear he heard a 'thank you' come from the egg.
He didn't understand what was happening but since it was nothing harmful, he could only look for a while before appearing at the dark space of his Soul Sea.
"You've done well this time Khinux. Although these demons will sell well, I made you a promise, so here you go." Karsha waved his hand and 11 monsters appeared.
He then waved again and thousands of monsters appeared. He had already taken the core and drained some of the blood from them, but they were Tier 8 and above monsters, so he gave them all to Khinux.
Truth be told, had it not been for that brute, he would have long drained the energy from his second core and run leaving the core at the mercy of the Demon Panther. he only kept Five Tier 9 Calamity Mutants, the other monster bodies went to Khinux.
"Take your time, I have unknowingly secured thousands of souls, so once you devour these bodies, I will let you devour the souls and the Demon fruit" Khinux nodded.
Karsha left that space and moved toward the Immortal Platform.@@novelbin@@
"Congratulations on Killing your first Demon General" Immediately Karsha appeared there Elara, the item spirit spoke.
"huh, what do you mean? It's just a monster" Karsha was taken aback by her declaration.
"Indeed, but it was on the verge of becoming a Demon before it got trapped, and since it was a Panther General, it qualified to be called a Demon general," Elara said with a subtle smile.
Karsha nearly jumps up in joy. 'Does it mean I have already fulfilled some part of the requirements of my Persona's'
He just couldn't believe it. he wanted to immediately check those messages but before he could, Elara spoke, "Although you have killed them, it was because of the state they were in.
The current you can't even Kill a Tier 8 terror Mutant Beast. The ones you killed are mere monsters with no skills.
Although I am not trying to look down on your achievements, I will still say this; your foundation is weak, and the more time you waste, the harder it will become for you to fix it. I will advise you to start fast. I believe you have all it takes to rebuild that.
Karsha nodded. Although he doesn't know how to rebuild it, he has to leave. He could tell something was happening to his body on the outside.
"I won't fail you Big Sister Elara," Karsha said and then Vanished from his soul sea. When he left, Elara smiled and then muttered, "I know you won't, after all, you promised me eons ago"
Immediately Karsha appeared, he went into a lotus posture. BOOM! A powerful burst of energy erupted from his body sending Lunar who is 200 meters away flying a couple of km away.
"What is happening to me" Karsha muttered, but before he could do anything, another energy burst out of his body. The ground he was sitting on cracked, the crack extended forward and started to widen.

BOOM! A huge explosion erupted from the ground 6 miles from him and from the ground, an egg-sized orb appeared and flew toward Karsha.
