Surviving the Eternal Night: I'm a Monster Who Can Make Wishes

The monsters were discussing it.

The eight Soul-Binding Priests in charge were not idle either; they immediately stepped forward and gestured an invitation to Li Wu Hui and Margo.

"Ms. Margo, Your Excellency, please come with us, and we will show you every detail of the Spire of the Dead."

Li Wu Hui nodded.

The group slowly began to walk inside.

Before long, we entered a doorway, which led to a dark courtyard with many unmarked tombstones.

In the center of the courtyard stands a dried-up ancient well, from which black, eerie mist continuously billows.

"This used to be the open-air courtyard of the Soul School, but it has now been moved inside the tower and turned into a desolate cemetery."

"The ground was littered with broken staffs and tombstones, each once bearing the name of a mage hunted down by Margo."

"But the names of these hunted mages, whose souls were used to create monsters and consumed in the war, will be erased!"

"Because Ms. Margo hates trash."

Li Wu Hui frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Margo's original personality was truly awful.

However, this first floor also seems to be a functional building that transforms the hunted mage into the monsters they belong to.

I wonder how well the conversion rate is?

The first floor mainly consists of the school's courtyard.

The group went up to the second floor via the stairs at the back of the courtyard.

The second floor is a long, narrow spiral corridor, with walls covered in glowing soul runes.

Countless transparent soul threads hung from the ceiling of the corridor, with the other end of each thread connected to runes on the walls.

"The second level is the Soul-Binding Corridor. Most of the Soul-Binding Priests take turns on duty here to prevent intruders from directly entering the core area of ​​the Tower of the Dead."

"Those soul threads are invisible; you need a skill like 'Eye of Truth' to see them."

"The moment they are touched, we Soul-Binding Priests will sense it and rush to deal with the intruders!"

"In addition, the vengeful spirits we create will also emerge from the runes on the walls. They move extremely fast and will self-destruct, causing widespread soul damage."

"It works very well in this long, narrow corridor."

Continue up to the third floor.

It's a huge library!

Li Wu Hui's eyes widened in surprise; it was the first time he had ever seen thousands upon thousands of books in the Eternal Night World.

Even in the Morning Dew Church, only the Morning Dew Saintess wrote several dozen notebooks on her research into divine arts.

"Perhaps I could leisurely read a book here when I have some free time?"

Li Wu Hui murmured to himself.

Although he enjoys the powerful monster strength he possesses now, he is ultimately a human being from a civilized world.

He also needs spiritual nourishment.

However, these things are still somewhat out of reach for him right now!

"Your Excellency, this used to be the library of the School of Souls. However, the collections of the thousands of mages that Lady Margo killed were also looted here."

"We can't guarantee anything else, but when it comes to knowledge and the transmission of civilization, the library of the Spire of the Dead should be no less than that of the King of Monsters!"

"A soul-binding priest said proudly."

Li Wu Hui nodded.

"Good, let's move on to the next level."

The fourth floor is a huge banquet hall, but also an extremely sinister workshop.

This is Margo's "art gallery," where the walls of the entire hall are covered with huge black tapestries.

Each tapestry is woven from the souls of hundreds of mages, and the faces on it are still twisting, crying, and screaming.

Hundreds of Pain Weavers, all of blue quality or higher, are monsters specializing in weaving tapestries of pain. They have the lower body of a spider and the upper body of a human, and wield enormous bone needles.

They would use bone needles to nail living beings to the wall, and then extract their souls and infuse them into the tapestry.

"Master, I feel that every tapestry here is enhancing my power!"

"It seems that each of these tapestries harbors a soul, 70% of which are vengeful spirits and 30% are benevolent souls."

"I've forgotten why I used to do it this way."

"I suspect that I might be trying to maintain my sanity and nature. After all, I was alive before, and I certainly didn't want to become a truly tyrannical monster."

It's true that you know yourself best, so you should say it.

After only glancing at the layout of the fourth floor, Margo guessed his original plan and quietly explained it to Li Wu Hui.

The eight Soul-Binding Priests had now increased to twelve, with one or two Soul-Binding Priests remaining on each floor.

As for the highest level, the fifth floor, only Margo can reach it.

That was her private property.

It's the Soul Weaver's studio!

Li Wuhui had also basically understood the situation.

Leading the way up the stairs to the fifth floor.

"Come on, show me your territory."

"Yes, Master."

Margo quickly and respectfully bowed.

Then he quickly followed.

The fifth floor, at the top, is a huge circular room.

In the center of the room stood a soul spinning wheel made from the spine of a giant creature, more than ten meters long. The spinning wheel was constantly rotating, drawing out transparent soul threads.

There was a huge hole in the ceiling of the room, from which a black storm of souls poured in and swirled around the spinning wheel.

The endless stream of soul threads originates here and flows into the floors below.

Just to get in here.

Margo and Li Wuhui both felt a special blessing.

They seem to be able to directly control the soul threads here, turning them into their own additional attack limbs, allowing them to absorb more and stronger soul life force from the intruders!

Margo tried it out directly.

The soul threads from the soul spinning wheel quickly spread throughout the entire circular room on the fifth floor.

"Alright, put your power away."

Li Wu Hui also understood the layout of the place and spoke softly.

Margo immediately withdrew all the soul threads.

Then, Li Wu Hui approached the soul spinning cart and sat down directly on it.

A black soul storm poured directly onto him from the ceiling!

But it didn't make him feel uncomfortable at all.

On the contrary, I felt that my two skills had been doubled in strength!

[You have entered a state of soul berserk. You can now control a soul spinning wheel and walk at 50% of your normal speed. Your armor will be like city armor, extremely difficult to damage, and enemies must break through the soul spinning wheel before they can attack your physical body!]

[Your Soul Spear and Soul Thread skills are now twice as effective!]

Li Wu Hui's eyes widened.

I couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.

Thankfully, such a powerful buff prevented Margo from escaping back into the Tower of the Dead.

Otherwise, he would have failed and run away again.

Suddenly, Li Wu Hui's vision blurred.

He noticed that there was an extra rag doll on the ground.

It's not an illusion.

It is an adorable princess-dress doll with golden wavy hair.

Li Wuhui dismounted from the soul spinning wheel.

The rag doll did not disappear.

He went over and picked it up.

"Master, what is that in your hand? Can I see it?"

Suddenly, Margo's anxious and confused voice came to her ears.

Li Wu Hui frowned.

You have found a special item of gold quality: Lillian's Ragdoll.

When you use it, Lillian's soul echo will appear; she is a fragment of Margo's daughter's soul.

When she calls out to Margo, Margo will be stunned for 10 seconds, and all of her abilities will be disabled.

This is the only shortcut to defeating Margo.

"Are you the only shortcut?"

"But I've already defeated your mother."

Li Wu Hui's lips twitched slightly.

I inexplicably felt that my words were somewhat uncivilized.
