Alex wasn't sure if he didn't understand what Godslayer was saying, or if he simply did not want to understand. Either way, he denied whatever Godslayer had said.
Midnight could not be dead. How could he be dead? How could his sword spirit be gone?
Godslayer had to be wrong. He had to be.
"You're wrong," Alex said after a few seconds. "Midnight isn't dead. I can still sense him."
"You can sense the thing that used to be Midnight," Godslayer said. "It is not Midnight itself."
Alex froze. "What thing are you talking about?" he asked. "What could Midnight have turned into?"
Godslayer took a long pause before answering.
"I don't know. Even with the memories of the Artifact God that I was, I have never heard of such an incident."
Alex felt his anger grow at the lack of answers. "Damn you, Godslayer. Answer me properly. What is happening to Midnight? Is he safe or is he dead?"
Godslayer seemed surprised by Alex's outburst.
