"How is this possible...no there must be something wrong," Winterclaw shouted out loud like he had gone mad.
A terrifying cold aura came out of his body, the aura coming out of his body was so cold that even the space around him was frozen solid. Even people who were thousands of kilometres away from him felt their souls freezing.
Baphomet was stunned seeing Winterclaw's strange behaviour, it was the first time he saw cold and indifferent Winterclaw losing control over his emotions like this. He looked at the hole in Winterclaw's stomach and the energy in his hand.
'That black energy around his wound and the energy that I collected..' Baphomet thought to himself but soon his eyes opened wide.
When he carefully looked at both of the energy he was easily able to feel that both of them were quite similar to each other.
The only difference was that the energy around Winterclaw's wound was thousands of times more powerful than the energy he collected from the outside of the shadow realm.
"Where did you get the traces of this energy?" Winterclaw asked in a hurried voice completely ignoring the wound in his stomach.
Baphomet stopped looking at Winterclaw's wound and told him how he found the energy outside of the shadow realm.
For some reason, he was feeling that the things regarding shadow realm is going to become more complicated than he initially thought.
After knowing how Baphomet got this energy outside the Shadow Realm, Winterclaw stood in place without saying anything. Baphomet looked at him intently and saw that many emotions were flashing in his eyes. From confusion to anger, fear and many more. But the strongest emotion he felt was undoubtedly the emotion of
Hatred!
After around five minutes the cold aura around Winterclaw started to disappear and his expression slowly returned to normal.
He sat back on his throne and took some deep breaths.
Seeing Winterclaw finally return to normal Baphomet could not hold himself back anymore and asked the question that was bothering him.
"What kind of conceptual energy is this?"
Although after seeing Winterclaw's reaction and remembering the wound in his stomach, Baphomet could already guess what kind of energy was in his hands, but he still asked because he did not want to believe it.
Winterclaw didn't answer immediately and continued to look at Baphomet or more accurate to say continued to look at the energy in his hands. After around one minute when Baphomet started to lose his patience, Winterclaw finally opened his mouth.
"Even though the power of this energy is very low when compared to the real one, I can feel two types of conceptual energies from it. The first energy I can feel is the conceptual energy of destruction." Winterclaw stopped looking at the energy in Baphomet's hand and looked at the wound in his stomach. He stayed quiet for some time before speaking once again.
"And the second energy that I am feeling from it is the conceptual energy of death."
Although Valtair used the conceptual energy of death and the Rune of Evolution enhanced it greatly, his main energy was still the conceptual energy of destruction which is why Winterclaw felt two different kinds of energies.
Although Baphomet already expected this after seeing Winterclaw's reaction, his body still shook after hearing Winterclaw's answer.
He took some deep breaths to not lose his composure and asked in a deep voice, "How is this possible? You should know better than me that the only person who was ever able to harness this energy is already dead."
Winterclaw also frowned after hearing Baphomet because he couldn't understand what was going on.
"Is it possible that shadow monarch is still alive? After all, other than him I can't think of anyone who can use this energy" suddenly Baphomet said.
A sneering expression appeared on Winterclaw's beastly face after hearing Baphomet and he shook his head, "That is impossible, there can only be five forbidden physique holders at a time. If he were alive you wouldn't have been born with your demon monarch physique."
Not giving Baphomet any chance to speak Winterclaw continued, "I think that Anastasia used some kind of artefact left behind by that bastard."
"Artefact?" Baphomet looked at him in confusion.
"Yes, an artefact." Winterclaw nodded his head, "As you know there are many one time use artefacts that you can use to store your attacks. I think Anastasia used an artefact that contained that bastard's attack"
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm "Even though it is hard to believe that he was able to create an artefact that can store the conceptual energy of death, I think it is not impossible considering he had many shadow undeads who were quite good when comes to making artefacts."
Baphomet noticed a tinge of jealousy in Winterclaw's voice when he said the last sentence, but he did not care about it because he was thinking about what he just heard.
'If It was an artefact then it perfectly made sense how I found the traces of conceptual energy of death' Baphomet thought to himself.
It also cleared his doubt that Anastasia did not come out of the shadow realm, because even though she can't come out, she can still throw out an artefact outside from the portal of the shadow realm.
"By the way, I think you should meet Akasha" Suddenly Winterclaw caught Baphomet's attention and said, "No one knows Anastasia better than she does, so if you want to deal with Anastasia without losing anything, you should meet her. I heard you helped her with something a few years ago so I don't think she would reject you if you ask for her help."
Hearing Winterclaw, Baphomet's deep red eyes flashed.
'Indeed I should meet her' he thought to himself but then he can't help but curse inwardly, 'Instead of this ape, I should have told Akasha about the shadow realm from the beginning.'
After getting his answer regarding the energy that he found Baphomet stood up.
"I will be going then," he said and a red portal appeared in front of him.
"Don't forget to notify me when you successfully break the seal" Wintercalw said before Baphomet could go inside the portal.
Baphomet sneered inwardly but his expression did not change and he nodded his head.
After nodding his head he did not wait for his response and went inside the portal.
