"Lord Ariel!"
The exclamation didn't come from Orion, but from Prophet Onyx, his voice filled with shock.
Orion remained silent, his mind swirling with questions. He didn't immediately respond or make a choice.
Prophet Onyx, however, quickly followed up his outburst with a warning.
"Chieftain, that's not Lord Ariel himself—it's just a fragment of his will, a projection!"
Hearing this, Orion's eyes narrowed, his confusion deepening.
Meanwhile, the Beast Raxt, now driven by Lord Ariel's will, turned its lifeless body toward Prophet Onyx.
Though Raxt's body was devoid of life and its eyes remained closed, Prophet Onyx could feel an invisible, piercing gaze scrutinizing him.
"An Alpha-level Obsidian Golem," the voice of Lord Ariel's will mused, "you remind me of one I killed centuries ago."
"You know about will projections? Impressive. You must be well-informed."
