212 Successful Connection And A New Problem (Part 1)



Layla drove her car towards the airport of Aquaville city. Evan was laying unconscious in the back seat of the car.

At first, she was thinking about bringing Evan there a few days later, but after what happened last night she can't wait any longer to get rid of him.

Her soul was still damaged, and it will take quite some time before it heals if she doesn't find a potion to heal it.

'I should ask for compensation from Sera since my soul was damaged while completing her task' Layal thought and directly enter the runway of the airport through the special gate.

After coming to the runway, she drove towards a jet.

The jet was not big, it was around fifteen meters in size, but its speed was faster than the airplane from which Evan came.

When she reached at the jet, she used her mana to carry Evan inside it.

A pilot, who was also a member of the dark guild was already present there. His level was just E+ rank.

She used her mana to bring Evan inside the jet.

She didn't speak to the piolet and just took out a medical capsule from her storage ring.

After tossing Evan inside the capsule, she walked away from him and sat on one of the seats.

After Layla sat down the pilot started the jet and took off into the sky.

While the jet was flying the connection between Evan's monarch core, and shadow realm was still forming.

It is been twenty days since Evan fainted, and the connection started to form.

Currently, the connection was at 99% and was just a step away from completion.

The strange energy that left after scanning Evan's soul was still coming back from time to time.

Each time that energy came back Evan showed a painful expression on his face.

The monarch core which was half solid and half liquid before he fainted now once again turned solid.

Only a very small portion of it was still in liquid form which was also turning solid.

Once the connection reaches at 100% that portion will also turn solid.

Now that the connection reached at 99%, small energy fluctuations were coming out from his body from time to time.

Layal also noticed those energy fluctuations earlier while bringing him here.

Honestly, she was quite nervous, because those energy fluctuations were giving her a dreadful feeling.

Whenever those energy fluctuations came out, she felt her body freezing just like what happened when the dark energy destroyed her spiritual senses.

She tried to ignore this feeling and closed her eyes trying to take a nap before she reach there.

'He is just a D+ rank hunter, even if he is up to something I can always escape from here' Layal thought and completely ignored those energy fluctuations.

After a few minutes, another part of the energy which left Evan's body came back.

Just as that part enter his body, the connection between his core and the shadow realm reached 100%, and his core once again turned completely solid.

Just as his core once again turned solid, a mark started to appear at his glabella.

The mark was completely pitch black in colour and looks like a drop of water.

If Evan was awake and saw this mark he would have recognised it, because the one unit of shadow energy that always rotates around his monarch core also looks similar to the mark which appears on his glabella.

At first, the mark was very faint, but as time passes it was becoming darker.

After some time when the mark was completely formed the monarch core inside Evan's heart started to shake.

Suddenly like a dam was broken, a large amount of shadow energy came into his body through the connection which was just formed.

Evan's monarch core started to rotate at a speed like never before.

There was so much shadow energy that Layal who just closed her eyes a moment ago shudder because of the terrifying pressure that Evan's body was releasing.

She opened her eyes and looked in his direction with shocked filled eyes.

She tried to stand up but found her legs were shaking.

'W-what is happening?" Layla said in a stuttering tone and tried to use mana to control her body.

But even after using mana, she found she can't stop her body from shaking.

Evan's monarch core rotated like a fan and started to absorb the shadow energy which came through his connection.

As it started to absorb shadow energy the level of his monarch core started to increase.

It instantly reached at the C rank and tens of notifications started to appear before Evan, but since he was still unconscious he wasn't able to see them.

But even after his monarch core reached at C rank the flow of shadow energy didn't stop.

His monarch core continues to absorb shadow energy and its level kept increasing.

With each passing second the level of his monarch core was increasing.

In just a few seconds it was almost at the peak of C rank, and was on the verge of breaking through the B rank.

But things were not so simple.

Because the connection was successfully formed, his monarch core received the blessings of the shadow realm.

The energy, which was coming through the connection was enough to increase his monarch core rank to peak of B rank.

But as the level of his monarch core increased, the pressure it was putting on his D+ prime core also started to increase.

His prime core was fine till his monarch core broke through the C rank.

But when its rank continue to increase even after reaching C rank, cracks started to appear on his prime core.

These cracks were worse than the cracks that appear in the shadow kingdom dungeon.

Even before his monarch core reached at the peak of C rank, his prime core was filled with tens of cracks.

Those cracks widen even more when his monarch core reached at the peak of C rank, and was about to break through to B rank.
