Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1002  Is There Something Wrong With The Air? (Part 2)

"Can you tell me why I(Azroth) did all of these things? From the things that happened until now, it is clear that everything was planned by him. Can you tell me the reason behind his action?"

Anastasia sighed when she heard Evan and walked away from him. She looked at the shining stars in the sky and said in a complicated voice.

"In the past, when you told me about the things that you wanted to do, I asked you why you wanted to do this, but you just said it was important and did not disclose any information about it."

Although Evan couldn't see Anastasia's face as her back was facing him, he could still feel there was a bitter smile on her face as if she was wondering why he didn't tell her anything.

"You just told me to wait for you in the shadow realm. The Shadow Realm would have collapsed without anyone supporting it, so you passed partial authority over it to me. Thousands of years passed since then, and it was around two or three years ago that I felt a very small amount of Shadow Energy produced by the shadow realm leaving and going somewhere..."

'Is she talking about the time when I first awakened the shadow energy during my fight against the C-rank wolf...' Evan thought inwardly, but his face soon turned strange.

Anastasia was still speaking, and the more he heard, the more he felt something was not right.

'Why do I feel like she is telling me a story about a bastard husband who left his wife to do all the work while he went for a long vacation...' He thought as Anastasia spoke about how she was trapped in the Shadow Realm for thousands of years, making sure that nothing went wrong with it.

'Although I don't want to admit it, it really sounds like the story of a bastard husband, and unfortunately... directly or indirectly, that bastard husband is me.'

'Why do I feel like she is telling me a story about a bastard husband who left his wife to do all the work while he went for a long vacation...' He thought as Anastasia spoke about how she was trapped in the Shadow Realm for thousands of years, making sure that nothing went wrong with it.

'Although I don't want to admit it, it really sounds like the story of a bastard husband, and unfortunately... directly or indirectly, that bastard husband is me.'

Evan sighed and let Anastasia vent her frustration as she continued to speak about how hard it was for her to stay alone in the shadow realm for thousands of years.

For the next two hours, Anastasia continued to speak without stopping, and Evan felt like those two hours were an eternity.

During these two hours, he thought about stopping her many times and telling her that she was going off-topic, but when he thought about how she had to stay in the shadow realm for thousands of years alone, he gave up and didn't stop her.

'I don't know about others, but I would have definitely lost my mind if I had to spend thousands of years in a locked space...' Evan thought and wondered how Anastasia was still sane.

If it were him and he came across the person who asked him to spend thousands of years alone in a dark place, he would have definitely given them a good beating if not outright killed them.

When Anastasia finally stopped speaking two hours later, Evan could confidently say that if she were on Earth, she would have definitely earned the title of Gossip Queen.

He even felt that the number of words she spoke in those two hours might be higher than the words he had spoken in his entire lifetime... and when he said lifetime, it included all of his lives from Azroth to Evan.

'Even though what she said was annoying... I can't deny that it was my fault for asking her to stay in the shadow realm and maintain it for thousands of years.' Evan said to himself and took a deep breath.

"Thank you."

"Hmm?" Anastasia heard Evan's voice and turned around to look at him in confusion.

"I know it's nothing compared to what you did for me, but for now, other than expressing my gratitude, I can't do anything else. But in the future, I will definitely repay you for what you did."

Anastasia was stunned when she heard Evan and looked at him with disbelief on her face.

"You... You are expressing your gratitude, and you even said thank you," Anastasia spoke as if she had just heard something impossible and started to sniff the air.

"There is nothing wrong with the air in my core world, and there are certainly no plants here that could make me hallucinate."

When Evan heard Anastasia, his mouth twitched uncontrollably and he regretted saying those words. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder if his personality was really that bad for Anastasia to be so shocked after hearing him say thank you.

'Ha!... I don't know why, but I really want to give her a good beating,' Evan thought when he saw Anastasia mumbling about the air in her core world having a drugging effect while sniffing here and there.

"Can you stop already?" He spoke in an annoyed voice when Anastasia suddenly took out a mask out of nowhere and wore it to keep herself safe from the drugged air of her core world.

"Do you need one too?" Anastasia completely ignored what Evan said and walked towards him while holding another mask in her hand.

'I swear if she wasn't a Rank Six Core Evolver, I would have shown her who is the boss...' Evan said inwardly and decided to ignore her.

While still sitting on the chair, he turned around and sighed.

'I thought she would have some information about why I did all of these things, but it seems I can only break more soul seals to understand what is going on.'

Evan rubbed his eyebrows and felt everything was very complicated.

Just when he was thinking about what he should do next, two arms wrapped around his neck from behind. He wanted to shoo away Anastasia's arms but stopped when he heard her next words.

"Actually, I have a vague idea why you did all of this, but I am not going to tell you. If I tell you, I am sure it will definitely affect your future choices and I don't want you to make a decision based on my vague guess, or it might ruin everything that you wanted to do." Anastasia paused after saying this and spoke again after a moment.

"Just continue to move forward like you have been doing and the answers you want will eventually come to you."

Evan didn't speak after hearing Anastasia. Only after a minute, he took a deep breath and nodded his head.

"I understand..." He said and pointed at her arms that were wrapped around his neck.

"Can you keep them away? I'm afraid you'll suddenly choke me to death as revenge for making you do free labour for thousands of years in the Shadow Realm."

Anastasia smiled when she heard Evan and slowly pulled back her arms.

"Don't worry, I will never choke you to death. After all, I have already planned how I am going to make you repay me for all the labour I did."

Evan's mouth twitched when he heard Anastasia's words, but he didn't say anything.

Suddenly, Anastasia walked in front of him and stretched out her hand.

"Although there are not many, there are still some interesting places in my core world. Would you like to take a look at them?"

"Interesting places..." Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard Anastasia and after thinking for a moment, he nodded his head.

He placed his hand on Anastasia's hand, and a silver light engulfed them. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As their bodies started to disappear, Evan suddenly thought about another thing.

'Now that I think about it, I still don't have much information about the Forbidden Ground of Utopia...' He said inwardly and glanced sideways. 'I will ask her about it later.'
