The figure walking forward looked exactly like Mike, no noticeable difference, and I was left very doubtful as to whether there had even been a fusion between the two bodies in the sky.
Diving into the connection between me and the fallen knight, all I felt was emptiness, a seemingly bottomless one. And then, just when I was getting wary, several invisible strings burst out of nowhere and latched onto me.
I was lost for some seconds, but then I felt myself more deeply connected. Now, not only could I give my knight mental commands, but I could also read its thoughts.
Yep, the fallen knight was not completely mindless, it could think. But then again, all its thoughts were solely about how to serve and protect me.
Blinking my eyes open, a system notification flashed before me:
[Fallen Knight (Eternal Subordinate): Locked.
Ascend and transform your energies to unlock the full capabilities of the Fallen Knight.]
"System, what is this?"
