The Fire Knight withdrew his hand from the light ball.
His gaze lingered on the dim Array Spirit.
Suddenly, he asked,
"You should have your own consciousness now, right?"
"Seven Star!"
As the Fire Knight called out the name the Old Sect Master had given to the Array Spirit.
"Yes... it is..."
The light ball flickered and then made a sound.
Then, in this empty space, the sound of the Fire Knight raising his great sword to gather flames mixed with his inquiry,
"So, you who have been corrupted, do you wish to be purified?"
The light ball flickered rapidly upon hearing this... and suddenly, it spoke:
"Wish... to..."
"Sect Master... don't go down!"
"Don't... go down!"
Suddenly, the Array Spirit inside the light ball became agitated, and its stuttering pace quickened.
At the same time, black spots suddenly emerged within the light ball, quickly expanding and in the blink of an eye transformed the white light ball into a black one.
