“ [For a long time, the Nameless Sun suffered in solitude, longing for all the things that were lost. Only when she lost that longing, too, was the Crimson Terror of the Forgotten Shore finally born.] ”

― Memory Description of Nameless Sun,
Chapter 353 Light Bringer


Crimson Terror was the Nightmare Creature that guards the gateway of Forgotten Shore.[4][3]

Description

A giant creature whose body was made out of a perverse fusion of crimson coral and mutilated human flesh. It was similar to the crimson golems at the base of the Spire. A twisted approximation of a living being, one that radiated a horrifying sense of madness, wrongness, and loss.[3]

The terror has hundreds of human faces, all contorted in expressions of blind agony and suffering. Their mouths were open, as though straining to scream. Their eyes were empty wells of pure darkness.[3]

Ability

The terror's eyes can shine with blinding, annihilating light.[3]

Background

She was the nameless goddess whose statue was created in the likeness of the girl who had been made into the vessel of the artificial sun.[3] Her temple was located in the Dark City, the Ruined Cathedral which was guarded by a Fallen Devil, Forsaken Knight.[5]

In the center of the Spire, a lone human figure was drawn, convulsing in harrowing agony as the raging storm of soul energy entered her body. The conflux of all that power, the sacrificial vessel meant to be its conduit. The anchor of the sun. The crimson light entered her body, then a pure and white light shot out from her screaming mouth and eyes upward. It rose to the height of the Spire, where a new sun was being born.

— Chapter 282 Sacrifice


At some point in the vicious cycle of sacrifice, the Vessel that had been imprisoned in the Spire and served as the anchor for the bloodthirsty sun was corrupted.[6]

Thousands of years ago, the Crimson terror tore off the heads of the seven colossal statues that stood across the Forgotten Shore and lay them at the base of the Spire for all eternity.[7]

Trivia

  • It was speculated by Sunny that the reason crimson coral seemed to grow either out of or toward bones is that the whole Labyrinth was a giant maw with which the Terror absorbed the soul essence of every creature that bled on the coral before it died. That is also why the artificial sun wasn't extinguished despite the lack of sacrifices.[8]
