Chapter 564 Soul Seals
Inside The Shadow Realm...
"How long can you last?" Anastasia asked, looking towards Valtair, who was lying inside a pond that was filled with shadow energy.
"Hmm... I'm not sure, maybe five or six days." Valtair replied in a nonchalant voice.
Anastasia remained silent after hearing Valtair and stared at the shadow energy pond.
"Is it not working anymore?" She asked after a moment of silence.
"It's still working but the level of the shadow energy inside it is just too low to work on me."
Anastasia rubbed her temples when she heard Valtair. "Who told you to fight like a barbarian with this weak body of yours?"
Valtair's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he heard Anastasia calling his body weak, but looking at the cracks on his body, he was not able to deny her.
"Anyway, it was nice knowing you. I hope you'll be reborn as an earthworm in the next life." Anastasia said and turned around to leave.
"Oi cruel woman, I am dying here and instead of finding a way to save me you are cursing me to be reborn as an earthworm," Valtair shouted when he saw Anastasia leaving.
"What do you mean by dying? Aren't you already dead" Anastasia said without looking back and left from there.
"Ah, to think that I, the great Voltaire, who was called the Emperor of Flame, would disappear like this," Valtair said in a sorrowful voice but there was a proud smirk on his face.
"At least, I successfully used the conceptual energy of death against that crow bastard, so I guess it's fine as well," Valtair muttered and closed his eyes. "It's a pity I won't be able to take my revenge against those bastards who used to call themselves senior of the Eternal Army and bullied me when I was a newbie..."
Valtair continued to absorb the shadow energy that was inside the pond, but the cracks on his body didn't show any sign of healing. On the contrary, the cracks that were present on his body were slowly enlarging.
Rumble!
As Valtair was absorbing the shadow energy, the pond he was in started to shake. He opened his burning purple eyes and looked at the shaking pond with a confused expression on his face.
Rumble!
Suddenly the shaking intensified and with his spiritual sense, Valtair noticed that it was not just the pond, but the entire shadow realm was shaking.
"What is going on?" Valtair stood up with a serious expression on his face, thinking someone was once again trying to attack the entrance of the shadow realm.
He was about to leave the Shadow Energy Pond to find Anastasia when something shocking happened.
Anastasia left the area of ??the Shadow Energy Pond while deep in thought.
"Even if I use the shadow energy pill that Master left behind, it will not be enough to save Valtair as his body is already on the verge of disappearing," Anastasia muttered in a low voice while looking inside her storage ring.
Rumble!
As she was searching for something that could help Valtair, the ground beneath her feet started to shake.
Anastasia's expression changed when she felt the tremor as she knew that it was impossible for an earthquake to occur inside the shadow realm.
She waved her hand and a holographic screen appeared before her, showing the area outside of the shadow realm.
Anastasia raised an eyebrow in confusion when she saw there was no one who was trying to attack the portal of the shadow realm.
"If no one is attacking the portal then it means..." Anastasia's eyes turned serious and she disappeared from the place she was standing.
In an instant, she arrived in the Throne Room of the castle and saw the black throne that was the core of the shadow realm was glowing with faint white light.
"This white light..." Anastasia's eyes opened as wide as saucers when she saw the glowing throne and her heartbeat accelerated.
She waved her hand and a few holographic screens appeared before her, showing images of different places of the shadow realm.
In the images, she saw the boundaries of the shadow realm were moving and its area was increasing. She closed her eyes and sensed the world essence inside the shadow realm and noticed it was also increasing at a rapid speed.
"It's really the inheritance process..." Anastasia said to herself after seeing the changes that were happening within Shadow Realm.
"Since the shadow realm is growing..." Suddenly she thought about something and disappeared from the throne room. She appeared in front of the shadow energy pond and saw its area was also increasing.
"Oi cruel woman, what the hell is going on? Why do I feel like the power of the Shadow Energy inside the pond is increasing" Valtair asked in a baffled voice when he saw Anastasia.
"Even the power of the shadow energy is increasing, which confirms my guess that this is really the inheritance process...." Anastasia muttered in a low voice after seeing the condition of the Shadow Energy pond.
"Inheritance process?'' When Valtair heard Anastasia's muttering, he raised an eyebrow in confusion. But soon he seems to remember something and his eyes also opened wide.
"Are you sure this is the inheritance process? It should be impossible because of_"
"Because of the soul seals?" Anastasia interrupted Valtair mid-way.
Valtair nodded his head when he heard Anastasia.
Anastasia also showed a confused expression and said in an uncertain voice, "I also don't know what is wrong with the soul seals, but I just confirmed that the Shadow Realm is growing so it is definitely the inheritance process."
"Since there is something wrong with the soul seals doesn't it mean the master is going to recall some of his memories?" Valtair asked in a low voice after hearing Anastasia.
"That's what I'm worried about. I think his soul was severely damaged by something and when his soul was damaged some of the seals were destroyed. I just hope he doesn't remember any of those events or things will become more complicated." Anastasia said while rubbing her temples.
"By those events do you mean the ones where you acted like a lusty chef and tried to take advantage of Matser by mixing some strange medicines in his food?" Valtair asked, blinking a few times.
Anastasia's mouth could not help but twitch when she heard Valtair and she looked at him with a neutral look on her face.
*Cough Valtair coughed awkwardly when he saw Anastasia's natural look and lay down inside the pond again.
"I should recover some of my energy since things are going to become more dangerous for us now that the shadow realm is growing," Valtair said and disappeared inside the pond.
Anastasia sighed after Valtair disappeared and looked towards the portal of the Shadow Realm.
"Let's hope for the best."
