However, Vincent was already bleeding from his seven aperture, looking no different than a ghost that had died a dog's death.
"God damn it." After using what blood he had to give himself first aid, Vincent said with a weak voice that was full of anger.
Why could his body not hold on for a moment longer?
He wanted to know why his childhood friends looked similar to Leilani, John, Irish, and Damien.
The crimson one was planning something nefarious! Most likely, something against him. What was it? What happened? He survived, so somehow, its plan failed. But who helped him?
Lastly, his parents had left his home planet by the time he was five. It was probably related to the scheme orchestrated by the crimson one. But what was the reason that forced the king, his queen, and the soon-to-be crown prince to leave his kingdom?
Just what had happened in the past?
He was so close to knowing all of it, but his body had started breaking down, and the nine seals took them upon themselves to pull him out of harm and towards safety.
"What happened to me? Why was I shown the past? Blood, Do you have anything to do with it?"
Vincent was hysteric, acting like a confused ghost.
[I don't know.]
The artificial intelligence of Vincent's family heirloom honestly didn't know what happened to him. It might be something left behind by the ninth, or maybe the crimson one had tampered with the memories the ninth had sealed in Vincent's subconscious before getting sealed by the ninth.
"As you have already seen, the crimson one is the manifestation of the curse in you. I recognized it when I saw it for the first time since every king needs to memorize the ancient records. From the records, I also learned the way to deal with it. The only sad thing is that there was no way to kill it mentioned in the form. I could only seal it using the six seals at first. But knowing that there's a monster in my son's body, how could I rest peacefully. I started looking for ways to kill or at least separate it from you. However, I didn't think that it would break out of the seal or even fool you. I only created the nine seals method and a curse slaying method when it pulled us all towards doom.
"It pulled a lot of tricks at the same time, but it failed, and we managed to get out of the mess alive.
"I killed it using the curse slaying method, but it later appeared in your body, meaning that the only way I could save you was to find a way to separate it from you and seal it in an eternal vessel.
"I didn't have a way to do that, so I could only use the nine seals to suppress it in your body.
"Although it is nigh impossible to get out of the nine seals, you must always keep your guards up. There are a lot of wonders in this world and many experts in the starry skies that can make the impossible possible. Know this; its only desire is to replace you, to become you. For that, it will try to pull your soul down the very abyss and keep you there for eternity. You will remain in an eternal slumber, never to wake up as it destroys the world around you. It will try its best to destroy everything related to you. And that's the very first thing it would do. After all, the fewer connections you have with the world, the lower the chances of awakening from your sleep.
"Where there's a will, there's a way. The manifestation of the curse is determined to steal your body, and it will undoubtedly find a way to do it regardless of all the obstacles hindering it. So, you must never take it too easy. Don't be complacent. You can't rest unless you create an eternal vessel, separate it from your body, and seal it in the vessel for all eternity."
"Take care~."
The recording ended there.
"What is an eternal vessel, and how do I create it?"
[I don't know, but I think I can direct you to the place where you can find it.]
"And where might that be?"
After a brief pause, Blood ended up saying the following words: [The ancestral hall of the blood moon race.]
Vincent didn't even know where the continent was, so it was impossible to locate the so-called ancestral hall.
[Mission Activated: Reach and explore the ancestral hall]
[Description: The tenth is missing a lot of his memories which might very well explain all the truth of the past and help you understand more about the crimson one and how to deal with it.]
[Task 1: Reach your homeland: 0/1]
[Task 2: Find and Enter the ancestral Hall: 0/1]
[Task 3: Read the ancient record of the blood moon race: 0/1]
[Task 4: Find a way to deal with the crimson one: 0/1]
[Rewards: The soul matrix of the ninth king, memory control.]
Using the memory control soul matrix, Vincent could tamper with other people's memories, and he could also lift off the seal on his own. And that was just its minimum usage. It could be used to make others forget their skills, causing them to become weak chickens from strong dragons! That was the reason why the ninth was such a fearsome existence that even all the royals combined failed to put up a fight against him.
"I will find out what happened that year," Virginia vowed to himself, a newfound motivation burning in his eyes.
There was a big gap between what his father said at the end of the recording and where his memories paused.
He was still missing around five months of his memories, and those were the key to ending all his confusion.
He will get them and come terms to terms with reality.
[You've conquered all the floors of the monster tower! Congratulations!]
