Chapter 213 Void Lord
Northern leaned against the wall and silently watched the far entrance, the only source of light that was more than enough for Raven with her night blindness to see.
He got curious about her ability for a minute, tried to think about what exactly it'd have to do with light.
But since he didn't want to pry and wouldn't want her to also, he once again killed the thought.
It was better to just discover things his own way.
Another thing that greatly bothered him were the things Raven said.
"Northern, I sincerely need you... I need you so I can free myself from my own hell. And in order for that to happen, you have to be stronger... you have potential but you lack passion, you have to be very strong, not just in potential but actually strong. This expedition could be all you need for that to happen."
And what exactly did she mean by:
"...I need you so I can free myself from my own hell..."
Northern shook his head and glanced at her.
She was seated on the ground, her legs crossed and her eyes closed, as though she was in a deep meditation session.
Since there was nothing to do at the moment, Northern summoned his profile to check things out.

"There's no much diff... wait a minute, what's that?"
Void Summons: [1/100]
"Does this mean, I can create ninety-nine more of those?"
Northern paused for a moment, placed his hands beneath his jaw and continued to think about it.
First of all, the path to creating Night Terror was a tough one, this is because he believes that its success is owed to the true name Singularity, which allowed his clone to exist as an independent being.
Of course, they still shared his mind and needed his command to operate. They were bound to him eitherway, but have become a person of their own selves at the same time.
Northern believed that a Singularity clone could begin to learn if allowed to stay out for too long; it would grow and slowly become an entity that can operate without his commands.
It was an interesting thing to think about.
"Just think about wrecking havoc somewhere else without even being there..." a wicked grin passed his lips.
But just as it was fun, there were also downsides to it. What if the clone gained so much identity of self that it now wanted to live its life apart from its source?
Northern doubted that would be possible, but still he couldn't rule out the fact that it can happen.
Which was why he decided to instead focus on cultivating the Singularity for the main purpose of using them as raw material for other monsters.
Since Void consumes the soul of every monster he killed, he figured that there would have been a couple of monsters' souls in Limitless Void.
To confirm his thoughts, Northern decided to check for himself.
He closed his eyes and dove in, opening them to the familial hall of darkness.
There was no way he could ever get over the dark grandiose of his magnanimous hall.
It was... overwhelming.
The arching high ceilings...
The strange but beautiful carvings on them...
The enormous pillars... ugh! So intimidating!
They sprawled endlessly to every corner; the palace was so wide and big that there seemed to be no end to the pillars.
No windows and ventilation in sight, but the air was still breathable and cool.
"I probably should consider hanging around here more... but I can't enter with my physical body... I wonder if this place is just a mental world or an actual physical world... it did say I can materialize it though... but right now, where could it be?"
A couple of other curiosity questions about the Limitless Void jumped around Northern's head.
He dismissed them and decided to do what he came for.
He looked down on a panel that suddenly appeared the moment he thought about it.
[Koll]
[Corpse Eater]
[Corpse Eater]
[Corpse Eater]
[Corpse Eater]
[Corpse Eater]
"Quite a lot of Corpse Eaters..."
[Bulfor]
[Bulfor]
[Bulfor]
"Just summon all of them."
Immediately, his surroundings were submerged in a raging wall of black flames, dancing and reflecting on his face.
It was an insurmountable amount of flames, one that caused his legs to stagger back a little, and almost tremble.
Even to his back, they spread and wiggled viciously like a serpentine river of destruction, hungry for every inch of space.
Northern looked around in stunned silence, his mouth slightly opened.
Then everything... everywhere became dramatically darker.
Thud
Thud Thud
Light tremors ran through the glassy ground and into his bones as monsters with flaming black eyes began to march out of the flames.
They were quite different from Night Terror and Koll, perhaps that was owed to the levels of their strength.
The Corpse Eaters and Bulfors were after all, inferior monsters compared to those two.
Then in the throng of monsters, Northern sighted a different one.
Its eyes were holed in its slightly widener maw, and instead of its usual beady eyes, they burned like red flames of disaster.
He could at once tell, a smile curled up on his lips as he saw that his neighbor was here too.
"Void really does consume the soul of every monster I kill."
The fact once again settled deep within his mind.
Northern heaved a great sigh and looked around.
This was overwhelming!
