Chapter 253: Soul Connections
“Am I going to have to fight that representation of Corey over there as well?” I asked, looking at Otis, who, for the first time, was looking on in what I thought was surprise. Had we finally started to hit things that he really didn’t know instead of pretending he didn’t?
A message window popped up before Otis could answer.
| Karlinovo: Whatever you’re doing, Chip just started to channel a ton of mana. How much longer are you going to take? Dave: Not sure, could actually be a while. Can you move us both near the mana well I set up in the greenhouse? Karlinovo: I guess. Do you just want me to have your bodies monitored then? Dave: For the moment, yes. Let me know if anything pressing comes up, and I’ll try to take care of what I need to here. Hopefully, I’ll have a way to entirely remove the soul knots once I’m out of it. Karlinovo: Try not to suck us all in there with you. I’ve got things to do out here. Dave: No promises, I still don’t understand why only Chip and I are here. Karlinovo: Oh, I might actually know the answer to that. The discharge passed through both of you, but in your case, it wasn’t anywhere near your core. Dave: So, just because it missed Corey, none of the cores are here, too? Karlinovo: Possibly, keep in mind this is all a theory. You are combining multiple levels of unknowns. Corey: I believe he is correct. I can tell where the energy passed through you now, and it did miss every connection we have somehow. Dave: Alright, then I guess it’s time to find out just what this shadow version of you is, Corey. Corey: I am not sure I understand. Dave: Don’t worry, I don’t either yet. Keep Karlinovo from blowing anything else up while I’m here. Corey: Understood.
