Chapter 670: Memory Fragments (1) [Bonus]
Many changes occurred when Kent invoked the True Names of his Legion.
First, he finally received the legendary name for the dungeon boss, which is “Eternal Wrath Legion.” He had already suspected this because Vexthra had told him the story of the Night Riders, which ultimately led to the legend of the Chaos Dragon.
But it wasn’t until then that he heard the name of his fourth legion.
In this instance, he could call them his third legion, considering he had yet to officially invoke the True Name of any of the Soul Sentinels, which excludes Elsa.
However, from what he knew, the Undead, the Lost Knights, the Soul Sentinels, and the Eternal Wrath were part of the legions that came from the future to defend the past.
And now that he had the official name for yet another legion, Kent became happy. However, there was something else that happened that made him happy to some extent.
When he first met the Eternal Wrath Legion, he found out they didn’t have their memories—well, not all of them. Ankaara, the ice elemental, had her memories intact, so that was a plus.
The 11 left; some had bits, but nothing concrete to tell where they came from and what led to them being dungeon bosses.
But now they started to remember—bits and fragments—but they started to recall their memories.
Skoggr, the Orc Chieftain, recalled his life as the chief of the Bloodmourn Orc Clan, located in the Yin-Yang Planetary Alliance, somewhere in the immortal worlds.
He didn’t gain much from the pieces he recalled, but the fragments revealed something he must know about himself: that he was a powerful warrior and a father.
Remembering he had children and was happily married made him tear up. Kent could see the pain in his eyes as he recalled those memories.
However, there wasn’t much they could do now, and considering he didn’t know what had happened that led him to bee the last floor boss of a dungeon, they could only wait for more to be revealed.
Of course, they all began to sense that their disappearance and reappearance in the dungeons was starting to look like a betrayal. This was cemented when Khaazal, the wyvern, revealed what he had remembered.
It turned out he was indeed a guardian of the Tempest Peak; however, he discovered a conspiracy that would put the Wyvern race in danger, and so he reported it.
He was fuzzy on the details, but he knew it was severe enough to report to his leaders… and the last thing he remembered was falling into the Demon Cave…then he found himself on the top floor of the dungeon.
He remembered just a couple of details, but he was already happy. With time, he will likely regain more of his memories. Naturally, this was the case for most of them.
Nykali, the Shade King, also remembered that he was a cult leader of “The Forbidden Nightmares.” One of the many powerful Soulmancy cults in the universe.
He also recalled that he was only a few modifications away from creating the first-ever Soul Weapon capable of killing a Celestial.
However, the last thing he remembered was that he was accused of taking the soul of a Dragon Ancestor, and that led to many things he had yet to recall…
But one thing was sure: the Shade King was pissed.
However, he knew when to throw a tantrum… now was not that time. But that doesn’t mean he wasn’t pissed…
Still, it revealed some critical details that he could exploit, and those were “Soul Weaving.” He was not a soul weaver, but he had the means to weave plex spectrals and weapons from the souls of the fallen.
It wasn’t just an overpowered skill; it was the type of skill that went much deeper than one might think. Now, he knew how to utilize his weaving skills much more effectively.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he felt like he was betrayed. The memory showed that he was someone impressive, but at the end of the day, he was left with many questions that would be answered as more memories surfaced.
But he gained something valuable, and that was a profound understanding of ‘Soul Weaving’…
Now, when it came to weaving, his years of experience had skyrocketed, and soon he would start making moves to strengthen his spectral army, because after recalling bits of his memory, he recognized how pitiful his army truly was.
Aetheris only recalled that he was the guardian of the Flame Keep, the sanctuary of the Fallen body from which he was made. He remembered the Flame Keep had five guardians, and he was the weakest but also the hardest working.
As to how he ended up on the last floor of a dungeon, he didn’t have that memory yet… but just like his pals, he also seemed pissed.
He didn’t have the memory, but his instincts kept telling him his absence was a disaster he had tried for years to prevent.
As for Ka’zarak, the Savage Warden, his memories were of his battle with a Dark Wolf he wanted to bring into his fold.
Ka’zarak is a beast tamer and summoner, but with an unconventional method of taming. For him, instead of summoning the beasts, he was the one being summoned, and he had to battle them.
If he defeated them, the beasts would bee his loyal contracted beasts; otherwise, he would e back empty-handed. Even if he died during the fight, he would respawn outside the realm he was sent to.
Naturally, the true cultivation of the beast he fought would be adjusted to match him, so all the battles were fair on both fronts.
His memories were from when he had just bee an Immortal, and the Dark Wolf, Klopk, summoned him. It was his first time being summoned by a beast several realms above him.
Klopk is a demigod beast, one of the most dangerous beasts in the 14 Heavenly Beast Worlds. Their battle ended in a draw, and Klopk chose to bee his panion to his shock.
He didn’t understand why someone like Klopk would want to bee his panion, but he had spent 12 good days in bat with a suppressed demigod and had held his own against him. That was a happy memory for him, and to his shock, he received his first true contracted beast.
He even summoned Klopk, and looking at the Dark Wolf Man who appeared with two short swords sheathed on his back, it wasn’t hard to know the strongest among them had appeared.
Even Kent felt the danger deep within his bones. But he was happy for Ka’zarak…
Unlike his peers, who received sad memories by far, his was a good one, and the reward in return was good. But there was one thing: Klopk knew what had happened, but for some reason, he couldn’t talk about it.
However, he knew, and that alone explained a lot.
And for some reason, Kent has a nagging feeling that these lost memories of his Eternal Wrath had something to do with him, or more like the incarnation of him that had formed the Eternal Wrath legion.
But since he can’t do anything about it now, things could wait. The Truth will one day reveal itself…soon.
