The black flames in Valtair's eyes returned to being purple, and the soul-chilling aura around him disappeared.
"That power.....Master," muttered Valtair, trying to control his excitement. Even though he was not sure what just happened, he just felt the power of the true conceptual energy of death a moment ago, and he knew there is only one person who can possess such powerful conceptual energy of death.
"How is this possible?" The figure within the Void said in disbelief, looking at the vast area of ??destruction caused by death flames. "He is still not here, then how can he help him?...no, it is impossible for him to do something like this. There must be something that I don't know. There is no way he can help him enhance the conceptual energy of death to this degree."
The eyes of the figure turned cold and he looked at Valtair who was still standing at the same place mumbling something.
Thinking back on how he had tried everything possible to grasp the conceptual energy of death but had failed, killing intent flashed in its eyes.
It wanted to destroy Valtair but it knew it can't do anything to him for now.
"I already interfered in his fight twice, if I try to do anything else, there is a very high chance that I will trigger the laws of this universe."
Crack... Crack...
Suddenly Valtair's body started to crack.
Valtair was stunned when he noticed how his body was breaking, and a deep frown appeared on his face.
"What is happening now?" Valtair muttered, unable to understand why his body was breaking.
The figure in the void looked at him and sneered, "Does this stupid think he would still be fine after using the conceptual energy of death."
'I was waiting here all this time thinking that the person who helped Malphasar would come out, but looks like he has no intentions of showing up' Valtair thought when no one showed up or attacked him even though he was standing at the same place doing nothing.
Crack... Crack...
Parts of his body started to break and fall down.
'I can't stay here any longer, I need to soak my body in the shadow energy pool' Valtair used his flames to stabilize his body and started to walk towards the portal of the shadow realm.
The figure in the void looked at Valtair coldly but did not do anything.
When Valtair was about to enter the shadow realm, he felt some powerful auras coming in his direction.
He paused for a moment when he felt their auras, but then shook his head, "They are still far away from here, so they can't be the ones who helped Malphasar."
Valtair did not wait for them and went inside the shadow realm.
The figure hiding within the void also felt the auras of two people.
He looked at the portal of the shadow realm one last time and also disappeared from there.
Five minutes later, Baphomet and Zaganath arrived above the portal of the shadow realm. Their expressions were bad and they were looking at the vast area of destruction around them.
"Looks like the person who killed him already escaped," Zaganath said with slight anger on his face when he didn't see anyone within thousands of kilometres of the area around the portal.
They were already aware of Malphasar's death because of his connection with Baphomet.
Baphomet's demon monarch core grants him the ability called 'Demon Domination'
Using this ability, he can mark any demon, and that marked demon will become his loyal follower who will never betray him.
Malphasar was one of his marked demons, so when he died, Baphomet lost his connection with Malphasar's mark and knew he is dead.
"I think the person who killed Malphasar is definitely above disaster class level," Zaganath said after seeing the destruction caused by the death flames.
Because of what happened at the last moment, the power of Valtair's death flames surpassed the disaster class rank, so Zaganath was thinking that the person who killed Malphasar is someone whose rank is higher than the disaster class.
Baphomet didn't confirm or deny Zaganath's guess and was looking at the destroyed area.
He could feel a very strange and powerful conceptual energy in the area, but it was the first time he had felt an energy like this, so he wasn't able to understand what kind of conceptual energy is this.
After looking at the destroyed area for a moment, Baphomet looked at the portal of the shadow realm and narrowed his eyes.
'According to what Malphasar told me earlier, someone attacked them from the shadow realm. There is only Anastasia who is inside the shadow realm so it must be her doing' Baphomet thought, but then a frown appeared on his face.
'But how is it possible for her to attack them when they were still outside of the shadow realm? From what we know, she is currently connected to the core of the shadow realm making it impossible for her to leave it'
"Master what should we do now?" Baphomet came out of his thoughts after hearing Zaganath.
"Shall we continue attacking the portal to break the seal?" Zaganath asked when Baphomet looked at him.
Baphomet thought for a moment after hearing Zaganath and shook his head.
"I need to talk to Winterclaw before we do anything else. It seems that there is something about the shadow realm that we do not know." Baphomet said and extended his hand.
His hand shined with dark red light and the surrounding energy was sucked inside his hand.
"I also need to show this energy to Winterclaw. I am feeling there is something wrong with this conceptual energy. That guy is more knowledgeable than me when it comes to conceptual energy, so he must know what is this strange energy."
"Then I will station some people to keep an eye on the shadow realm so that we will know if anything happens here," Zaganath said after hearing Baphomet.
Baphomet nodded his head, and after looking at the shadow realm one last time, he disappeared from there.
