Spawning consciousness from the Void’s amorphous pool.
... An echo passed through the Virtual Worlds: No response. There wasn’t a single being
or avatar powerful enough to break through the Barrier.
"Raaaawrrr!!!" the risen creature’s solemn roar shattered the temple’s stained glass
windows.
The Basilisk froze for a moment, hearkening to the sounds of the astral world, then uttered
a sorrowful moan, "Alone! Alone in the entire world! Only somewhere far East, several days’ walk
from here, glimmers the spark of the Unborn King, in need of service and protection."
An emotional upsurge of such proportions made the mighty creature suffer, whereas it
would’ve killed off any smaller creatures. Or it might have turned them to stone, as in the
Basilisk’s case.
It was just like when whales turn insane from the sonar sounds of submarines and cast

skills.
The astral echo beefed up the ancient magic. It liquefied molecular bonds, damaging the
ammunition and sharply interrupting all enemy attacks.
Thousands of arrows dug into the armor. Drops of colored poison bubbled and sizzled on
the scaly hide. The sticky flame reluctantly flowed down the giant body, burning right through the
monster’s flesh.
The background magic rose beyond all reason. The portals to the divine abodes hummed
