As his passive purification ability was active, it surrounded him in a golden calming yellow light that was actually distorting the spirit world around them, so Ho-Seok asked Zurich as he said, "Do you have a way to keep your aura in check Zurich? Or do we have to make some changes for you?".
Zurich said as he was still kneeling and bowing is head before Ho-Seok, "I do have a way to cover my aura my liege, I will not burden you.", he said as the aura around him started to compress in the middle of his body as now his body became even stronger after compressing the aura around his body into a singular orb.
The distortion around him was now gone but his body was now shining even brighter and everything in the spirit world he touch was still being distorted a bit but not as much as how it was happening before, so that problem was kind of solved but now he was curious as to what had happened.
But then Ho-Seok looked back and realized that there were still some spirits that were wrecking havoc to his summons and so he charged back in alongside Zurich as they sliced through, especially Zurich as his sword had an even stronger golden aura around it that wasn't distorting the place.
However when it came in contact of the spirits, they all started to burn in a golden flame. As they were burning however they didn't scream or look in pain, they looked as if they had found peace and when they were all burnt away, a pure white and golden light shined from the sky as the ashes that appeared from the spirit were taken away.
Once all of the spirits were gone, Ho-Seok then asked Zurich, "So, what actually happened when you left us?", as he asked this, Zurich himself looked confused and so he started to think of a way to explain but nothing in his mind was able to explain what happened and so he said to all of them, "Follow me first".
When he said that, suddenly a cloud appeared beside him as it formed an arch, as it formed the arch a white and golden mix of light appeared inside of the arch and then suddenly a horse came out of the arch that was created, however it did even seem alive, it looked like it was a machine.
It's style was a pure white metallic skin as there was a systemic ascetic and it maine and tail were a golden metallic color as well, as Zurich hopped on the horse, the cloud arch dissipated alongside the light portal that the horse came out of. Then now as he rode on the horse he started moving at fast speeds.
Now as he was riding on the horse, Ho-Seok and Pluto were running across the trees keeping up with Zurich, as Heca was just floating and moving in the air following them all as they were moving they suddenly found an opening in the forest they were in and it was a bunch of hills and beautiful scenery as he looked across.
After arriving at the open area, Zurich and his horse started to slow down as they started going closer to a stone tower, it wasn't anything close to tower however it's aura around it definitely gave Ho-Seok some shivers but once they were walking closer to the Tower some golden yellow shield appeared.
Although Ho-Seok was blocked, everyone else was allowed through and so he was confused which even made Zurich confused and so he then shouted as he asked, "Why can't my master enter the tower's perimeter Witch!?" as he said that a blue energy came out of the tower's top window as it then flew down.
Suddenly from the aura a mist and smoke appeared and as it quickly cleared up, a woman dressing a typical witches clothing appeared but her appearance was pure blue and even her skin had a blue-ish appearance and as she appeared a loud voice rung around them saying, "Successor of Arthur!".
"You left in a hurry after getting Excalibur's spirit so I wasn't able to explain but, no living being may enter the Tower, even your master.", she continued saying as she went closer to Zurich, but then suddenly he swung his sword at the barrier making an opening for ho-Seok to enter and once he did this he looked down on her.
While doing this, he then said, "I am the new tower's master am I not? So what I say, shall happen!", as he said this the Witch snickered as she said, "Sure, young master but, if he is truly your master then he will need to pass a test.", she said as she snapped her fingers as all of them were transported into a huge throne room.
She then said loudly as she raised her hands, "Welcome to my tower! Oh, sorry, I mean young master's tower.", she said as she snickered a bit but then suddenly a huge hour glass came down above all of them as she then said, "The test is how long can you survive the sword's divine energy, let's start!.".
As she said this she then suddenly brought out a grail and there was some golden light inside of the grail and it slushed around inside of it as if it was a liquid but then suddenly it started to overflow and it then started floating in the air in a spiked form, as it was in the air the Witch pointed her hand at Ho-Seok.
It then stabbed Ho-Seok as he shouted a bit but then suddenly calmed down, he only shouted cause he was surprised of the sudden pain but he actually didn't mind the pain as it wasn't as strong as the drawbacks from the void abilities so he was perfectly fine and the divine energy from the Sword was being absorbed by him.
During this the Witch was surprised, Ho-Seok should have been screaming and begging in pain but he was in full focus of making all of the energy that was entering him, completely his, so she then shouted, "HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS?" she shouted but to no avail as Ho-Seok was in complete focus.
The Witch continued to shout, "ONLY ARTHUR AND HIS SUCCESSORS CAN TAKE IN THAT ENERGY!", she said as she tried cutting off the energy from the grail but it was no longer listening to her, it was as if she was no longer the owner or more correctly, it was that the person using the grail had a higher authority than her.
