Minotaur
Chapter 630: Minotaur
A strange connection began to take shape—a link forged between poison and soul. Charles's consciousness—his very will—became bound to the serpent, enslaved by its dominion.
He no longer spoke or thought of his own accord. He had become a vessel.
The serpent, now in full control, turned its focus inward. Through Charles, it reached toward his Inner World, seeking his soul core. If it could seize it, it could use Charles as a gateway. Escape would be within its grasp.
But just as it prepared to breach that final barrier, something unexpected happened.
A flicker of purple light ignited deep within the serpent's body. A fire—not physical, but memory-born—sparked to life.
The fire devoured savagely, like it had been starved for ages.
What was more surprising was that it didn't burn flesh. Instead, it consumed thoughts. Countless years of its experiences and even the Serpent's Identity itself.
