Chapter 43: Ch 43: Sinister Blade

But instead of focusing on the statue and the demonic blade, the first thing Emrys did was scanning his surroundings. It is because he sensed a presence locking on him the instant he appeared inside this spacious hall, making him very uneasy. It felt like every move he made was being watched closely.

This discomfort made Emrys want to leave immediately, but he couldn\'t act solely on intuition. He scanned the surroundings once again but did not find anything no matter how he looked.

Unbeknownst to him, the moment he appeared on top of the altar, someone was alerted.

On top of a different mountain...

"Malachi, what happened?"

An old man in armor asked the person standing beside him. Moments ago, the two of them were laughing and drinking, however, Malachi suddenly stopped and stood up, hurrying to leave the place.

"Old Cian, someone not only entered the Sacred Hall but also climbed the altar. As far as I am concerned, no one would dare to take this step without permission even in their dream. I never permitted anyone, I don\'t know who is daring enough to disregard my position and words, and enter the Sacred Hall."

Old Cian was shocked. He could not speak anything for a few moments after hearing what Malachi had to say. It is no wonder Malachi was in such a hurry. Sacred Halls were important places for the Darkborne Family.

The Darkborne Family is planning something big, and the Sacred Halls are the important cards for the completion of their plan. They could not afford to mess up anything, otherwise, they wouldn\'t be able to bear the consequences.

"What... Who? Who dared to enter the Sacred Hall without permission?"

As if his tail caught fire, Old Cian jumped high in the air and shouted in fury. He appeared to be more furious than Malachi Darkborne.

"I don\'t know... Shit, bastard. Whoever you are, I swear I\'ll kill you and your entire family!"

Malachi was about to say that he didn\'t know anything, but his expression suddenly changed. His connection with the demonic blade was cut off by someone or something.

First of all, someone disregarded his words and entered the spacious hall. Not long after, his connection with one of the Demonic Weapons was cut off.

It didn\'t take Malachi even seconds to guess what must have happened.

No doubt the demonic blade is stolen. Someone infiltrated the stronghold and stole the demonic blade.

Malachi cursed loudly, his shout echoing in the air. Then he hurriedly left the mountain top. Old Cian could not keep calm anymore. He also followed Malachi while cursing the thief in his heart.

.....

Two minutes ago...

Emrys, who was observing the surroundings cautiously, did not find anything suspicious, however, he could not shake off the feeling of being looked at by someone.

Perhaps it is just an illusion!

As this thought crossed Emrys\'s mind, a primal terror gripped his soul. Every fiber of his being screamed at him to flee, warning him of imminent death if he stayed a moment longer.

With each passing second, this sensation intensified, growing stronger and stronger, to the extent that it overwhelmed his senses.

In a desperate bid to escape, Emrys moved to activate his ability, Node Shift, summoning the three-dimensional world once more.

Only when the three-dimensional world appeared before his eyes he was able to see what exactly was happening and why he felt such great terror that shook his very soul.

From his godlike perspective, Emrys witnessed an eerie sight. He saw the stone statue\'s eyes shimmering with a dark radiance. Despite being carved from a massive block of stone, Emrys could discern a strange vitality pulsating within its body. It seemed as though the lifeless stone statue was on the verge of awakening.

However, this was not why he was terrified. What scared him the most was the sinister energy gathering in front of the stone statue\'s eyes. This energy was similar to that of the demonic blade, nonetheless, less destructive. Emrys could tell that if his body was touched by the sinister energy, nothing could save him. He would die in an instant.

Due to the three-dimensional world that was perfectly under his control, time itself seemed to slow down for Emrys. Every detail within his two-hundred-meter radius unfolded in slow motion before his eyes. He could discern each instance of the stone statue\'s eyes gleaming with the darkest radiance. He could also see the stone statue\'s gradual movement as it reached for the demonic blade, poised to cleave his body into pieces.

"F*ck!"

"Don\'t even think of harming me without suffering loss!"

Emrys cursed and stepped forward at lightning speed before grabbing the demonic blade and pulling it with full strength.

Maybe the stone statue was not ready for such actions, the demonic blade was easily pulled out of its hand.

Not even thinking twice, Emrys shifted the node, disappearing from the first spacious hall.

"Roar!"

It was also at this moment that the stone statue actually roared angrily. Two beams of sinister light were shot out of its pair of black eyes, piercing through the walls of the cave easily. At the same time, it slashed down. Unfortunately, he was no longer holding any weapon.

Perhaps because the demonic blade itself was the source of the stone statue\'s actions, seconds later, the stone statue froze in its place before crumbling down into pieces.

Emrys had no idea what he had done, all he knew was that he was holding an extremely sinister weapon in his hand. The sinister energy of the demonic blade was trying to invade his body.

"What should I do?"

Emrys was terrified. He did not expect such a situation to occur.

After shifting with the node, Emrys appeared beyond the hidden path of the underground cave. This was an entirely new but gloomy space. However, Emrys had no intention of observing the surroundings. He was focused on the demonic blade that was trying to do something horrible to him.

"This blade... It seemed to be alive. How is this possible?"

Emrys was truly scared, unsure of what to do in his current situation. He attempted to release the demonic blade, but to his horror, the blade seemed to have become fused with his hand. No matter how strenuously he struggled, he couldn\'t dislodge it.

The scariest part of all was that his entire hand had already turned completely dark, emanating the same sinister aura as the demonic blade itself.
