With newfound determination, Alex Mercer returned to the Castle of the Damned, determined to face the ghouls once more. Their slow, clumsy movements seemed almost comical as he swung his scythe, cleaving through their ranks with ease.
With each ghoul he defeated, he could feel the mysterious souls entering him, infusing him with power. They surged through his veins like a current of energy, and he knew that he was growing stronger with every passing moment.
As he explored deeper into the castle's shadowy halls, he stumbled upon another camping site—a sanctuary amid the darkness. This discovery filled him with a sense of relief, knowing that he could now save his progress within the castle itself.
With the souls he had gained, he made his way back to Elysia Moonshadow, the Beacon of the Lost Souls. She stood by the campfire, her silver hair flowing like a river of moonlight, her eyes gleaming with ancient knowledge.
"Have you come to harness the power of the souls once more?" she asked, her voice a soothing melody.
Alex nodded, his determination burning brightly. "Yes, I want to become stronger. I need to survive this realm and all its challenges."
Elysia nodded in understanding. "Very well. Choose wisely, for the souls are a precious resource."
He contemplated his choices carefully, realizing that he didn't have enough souls to upgrade all his attributes. With a resolute nod, he decided to increase his Attack, believing that offense was the best defense.
As he made his choice, the souls within him seemed to respond. They swirled around him like a cyclone of ethereal light before merging with his being. The sensation was exhilarating as if he had tapped into a wellspring of power.
Unknown to Alex, as the souls departed from him, Elysia seemed to undergo a transformation. Her beauty, already otherworldly, seemed to intensify, her silver hair glowing even more brightly, and her presence radiating an aura of elegance and mystique
.
Alex, however, was unaware of this change as he felt his newfound strength surging through him. With his upgraded attributes, he knew he was better prepared to face the challenges that lay ahead in the Elden Realm.
His journey was far from over, and the mysteries of this enigmatic world continued to unfold. With each step, he moved closer to becoming a true master of this digital purgatory, guided by the enigmatic Elysia Moonshadow and fueled by the souls of power.
