Walker Of The Blue Sky

59  Ch 59: Escaping

Emrys hurriedly left the Corpse Pyramid and sought out the shadowy figure. Upon finding him, he urgently requested, "Expel everyone who is not a Darkborne from this fragmented space."

The shadowy figure, who is also the true owner of this fragmented space, had been forcefully kept and manipulated by the Darkborne Family to exploit this space. As the true owner, he had the power to control who could enter, remain, or be expelled from the fragmented space.

Emrys's plan was very straightforward. Since finding the exit in a short period of time seemed impossible, he decided to ask the controller to send him and the others away. It was a pragmatic way to ensure his and others' safety.

The shadowy figure did not disappoint him. It first expelled everyone who was not a Darkborne from the fragmented space forcefully, leaving only the Darkborne members and the Soul Demons inside. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

A portal appeared in front of Emrys as well, clearly the way out of the fragmented space. As long as he entered the portal, he would be safely out of there.

However, Emrys did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at the shadowy figure and said, "Let's escape together. This space will soon be destroyed by the Soul Demons. If we don't escape now, we will die as well."

The shadowy figure, who had been bound and manipulated by the Darkborne Family for so long, seemed to hesitate. Emrys's offer of freedom and escape was a tempting one, however, there was an issue that could not be solved by escaping.

Shaking its head, the shadowy figure said, "I can't leave."

"Why?" Emrys frowned.

The shadowy figure's response was laced with sorrow and resignation. "Because I no longer have a physical body. I refined this fragmented space while I was still alive. The Darkborne Family left me with only a tiny fragment of my soul to make it easier to control both me and this space. I can maintain my form within this fragmented space, but if I leave it, my soul will dissipate immediately, and I will die."

Emrys felt a pang of sympathy for the shadowy figure. It was clear that the figure's existence was a tragic one, bound to a fragmented space and manipulated by a malevolent family. Despite the urgency of the situation, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret for the shadowy figure's fate.

"I'm sorry to hear that," Emrys said sincerely. "You've suffered a lot. Thank you for helping me and the others."

The shadowy figure gave a faint, almost imperceptible nod. "Just go. Save yourself. And if you can, bring an end to the Darkborne Family's evil deeds. As for me, as long as this space is not completely destroyed, I will continue living."

With that, Emrys took a deep breath and stepped through the portal, leaving the fragmented space behind. As he entered the portal, he felt a mix of relief and sadness, knowing that he was escaping with others but also leaving behind a tormented soul. Most importantly, the change in Serafina gave him a huge shock as well.

As for the fragmented space, it was once a place of confinement and control, but now, it was left to the chaos and destruction that will soon be brought here by the Soul Demons.

.....

"Emrys!"

Emrys was the last one to emerge from the fragmented space. As soon as he stepped out, he was greeted by Rohan, Cairo, and even Riley. Later, Emrys learned that Riley had been trying to find the exit but was unsuccessful. He was able to leave only when a portal had appeared before him eventually. The same was true for the others as well.

Rohan and Cairo were waiting for him. They had no idea whether Emrys was still alive or not, however, they had hope in their hearts.

"Have you found anything?" Rohan asked, showing some hesitation and worry.

Emrys sighed. He looked at Rohan who was more worried about whether he found some clue inside or not than his wellbeing.

Nodding his head, Emrys said, "I found Serafina inside."

"What? You found her? Where is she then? How is she? Why has she not come out with you then?"

Maybe, telling them a few truths might be good for the public and bad for the Darkborne Family. Moreover, he obtained many pieces of important information this time. If he wanted to deal with everything alone, then it was a foolish dream. After all, he lacks the most necessary thing to do everything on his own; that is strength.

Rohan was alarmed and agitated. He could not help but question Emrys continuously. She was his first crush, an unachievable love that was destined to remain one-sided, mainly now that Serafina is a Soul Demon.

Emrys shook his head, saying, "You don't have to worry about her. She is safe and free."

"Safe and free? What do you mean?"

Not only Rohan but even Cairo and Riley were confused.

Emrys did not know whether it was a good idea to tell them the truth or not. Then he thought about Riley who wanted to notify the Federation about the strangeness of the abandoned mansion, as well as the fact that everything is a plot carefully planned by the Darkborne Family.

There is also Cairo who is a low-leveled member of the Federation.

Maybe, telling them a few truths might be good for the public and bad for the Darkborne Family. Moreover, he obtained many pieces of important information this time. If he wanted to deal with everything alone, then it was a foolish dream. After all, he lacks the most necessary thing to do everything on his own; that is strength.

A mere Silver Soul Master like him is nothing more than a weakling who could be killed anytime by a slightly stronger opponent.

Considering all these aspects, Emrys breathed heavily and said, "Actually, I discovered something very important."

Just like that, Emrys successfully attracted the attention of the three people in front of him.

Letting them feel curious for a few seconds, he put up a serious expression on his face and said, "I discovered the actual plan of the Darkborne Family."

Riley and Cairo were aggrieved, their hearts stirred. Riley asked, "Tell us, Emrys. What exactly are they planning?"

Emrys nodded and finally said, "I think the higher-ups of the Darkborne Family are cultivating dark-type Soul Cultivation Techniques. I saw them making several Soul Demons with my own eyes. They are kidnapping people and forcefully turning them into Soul Demons."

Finally, he looked at Rohan and said, "Serafina is now one of them as well, a powerful Soul Demon. I think you should abandon if you have any idea of her."
