Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 854 Sealing Ground (Part 2)

"Seal something?" Evan raised an eyebrow hearing Octavius and signalled him to continue.

Octavius didn't continue immediately; instead, he fell into deep thought as if trying to remember something and said after a few minutes.

"It happened more than four thousand years ago so I don't remember clearly, but if my memory serves me right, I remember that I had just captured two talented kids in order to take away their talent and was planning to use them to create a blood soul-nourishing pill for myself when the Angel of Death broke into my mansion and captured me."

'Angel of Death...' For some reason, Evan flinched when he heard the words Angel of Death, and an image of a gentle-looking beautiful woman with golden hair and two wings on her back automatically appeared inside his mind.

The reason he flinched was that although the woman had a gentle-looking face, she was standing in the middle of a battlefield filled with thousands of dead bodies and was laughing like a maniac while holding the severed head of a man who had a horror-filled look on his face.

'What the heck...' Evan shook his head and tried to shake off the image that appeared inside his mind and continued to listen to Octavius.

Although he wanted to ask the old man who this Angel of Death was, he decided to wait until he finished telling him why he called the Tomb a sealing ground.

"After capturing me, the Angel of Death brought me inside this Tomb. While bringing me here, I accidentally heard her mumbling something like, 'If I bring this stupid-looking bag of bones to the sealing ground before others capture their target, Master will definitely share his wisdom with me, and I will receive the Enlightenment.'

Evan: "..."

'Is this Angel of Death a Chuuni?'

He opened his mouth to comment something but did not know what to say. In the end, he closed his mouth and decided to pay attention to the more important part.

'Sealing ground and others capture their target, huh...' Evan said inwardly and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

'By the word 'Target,' this Angel of Death must be referring to the other core evolvers who were captured and killed inside the Tomb in order to make it stable.'

He tried to think about the word Sealing but nothing appeared inside his mind. There was no recollection in his memories about the words Sealing Ground.

Just when Evan was about to stop thinking about this matter, he remembered the thing that happened a few days ago.

'Could it be...' His eyes narrowed, and he thought about the strange accident that happened when Gobu used his Eldritch Dimensional Rift Skill in order to summon an Eldritch Creature.

At that time, Evan received a notification telling him that Gobu's skill was being affected due to the influence of Path To Origin.

After this accident, Evan thought deeply about the Eldritch Goblins who seemed to live inside the Tomb, and in the end, he reached the conclusion that there might be an Eldritch Energy Source somewhere inside the Tomb of the Ancients... And now that Octavius is saying this Tomb might be a sealing ground then... (Chap-801)

'Could it be that this sealing has something to do with the Path To Origin or the Eldritch Energy Source,' Evan thought with a serious look on his face and found it plausible.

Though there were still many things uncertain to Evan, like why Octavius's soul was left alive, what the Rune inside his palm meant, and many other things, he still felt he was reaching closer to the truth.

"Is there anything else that you know about the Tomb?" Evan asked after a moment.

Octavius hesitated a little but still spoke after a moment.

"I am not sure, but I think if you go to the centre of the first layer, you will find something."

Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard Octavius and asked in a curious voice. "Why do you think I will find something if I go to the centre of the first layer?"

Octavius looked in the direction of the first layer and said in a serious voice.

"As you know, this realm is stable because you used the Law Seals of many core evolvers and merged them with it. My law seal was also merged with this realm and although I already lost my connection with it, I can still tell that most of the powers of the law seals that merged with this realm are targeted towards the centre of the first layer, so if I am not wrong, there must be something there."

Evan narrowed his eyes hearing Octavius and looked at the map that he found in the reward room.

Upon looking at the map, his gaze instantly fell on the location marked with the words Core Altar and noticed it was somewhere around the centre area of the first layer.

"Could it be that what Octavius just said is related to this Core Altar?" Evan thought aloud and looked at the map.

After looking at the location of the Core Altar for a few seconds, he looked at the second marked location on the first layer and saw the words 'Time Water.

"I was already planning to go to the first layer to take a look at these two locations, and now after hearing Octavius's words, I am even more determined to go there."

Evan put the map back inside his shadow storage and took a deep breath.

He closed his eyes to concentrate on something and opened them after a moment.

"The second layer is far more dangerous than the first layer; during the time I was inside the cave dimension, most of the members of Team Black were killed by monsters..." Evan patted the head of the Wind and Lightning Sheep, and it started to move.

"Luckily, they still found some interesting places before dying that can help me break through the peak of Rank One as soon as possible."
