Memories poured into Elias's head in increasing frequency, threatening to drown his mind. His Ageless Echo had fully transformed into the body of the Void Echo, and he was holding in his hands something that had shrunken to the size of his previous Ageless Echo, and it resembled a brownish-red tumor with too many limbs that was screaming.
"THUD!"
The ground shook as the Ageless Echo fell to one knee; the mental strain of all these memories was nearly shattering his mind, and Elias knew that he was in grave danger, but he could not move.
Perhaps if he had been able to swallow the Void Echo when it was not aware, then he would retain a degree of control, but now that it was awake and actively fighting him, there was no way he would be able to win.
This creature was terribly smart; it had noticed Elias's greatest weakness, and that was his youth and lack of life experience. Elias was eighteen, but this creature was so ancient that Elias could not put a number to its years.
