Chapter 696 Evolution Of The Shadow Realm And Awakening Of The Shadows (Part 1)

In Utopia, outside the portal of the Shadow Realm, many demons were still stationed here. In fact, compared to before, the number of demons stationed outside the Shadow Realm was at least three times greater than before.

Most of them don't know what happened, but about seven months ago, Baphomet suddenly ordered increased security around the portal of the Shadow Realm and instructed them to capture anyone who entered the area around the portal to the Shadow Realm.

As many demons were carefully keeping an eye on the surroundings, the portal of the shadow realm suddenly started to shake.

"Hmm..." A blood demon who was guarding the portal raised an eyebrow when he noticed the abnormality and backed away from the portal.

"Should I inform Master Zaganath about this..." The blood demon muttered to himself in an uncertain voice because Zaganath, who was in charge of all the matters related to Shadow Realm strictly told all the demons to inform him immediately if they noticed any abnormality in the portal.

While the blood demon was wondering whether he should inform Zaganath about this or not, the trembling of the portal of the shadow realm increased even more. Strange energy fluctuations started to come out of the portal and space around it began to shake.

The energy fluctuations began to spread in the wide area and soon other demons who were patrolling around the shadow realm also noticed the abnormality.

In just a few minutes, many demons gathered beside the blood demon and looked at the portal of the shadow realm with a solemn look on their faces.

"Did you inform Master Zaganath?" An extreme demon asked, looking at the blood demon who was guarding the portal.

"Not yet.." The blood demon shook his head hearing the extreme demon.

"You should inform him as soon as possible," The extreme demon said in a heavy voice. After saying this, he looked around him carefully and said in a low voice.

"I don't know if it is true or not but I heard that last time when this portal showed this kind of abnormality, commander Malphasar suffered a huge loss and all the demons who were guarding the portal were wiped out."

The matter regarding the fight between Malphasar and Valtair was not known to many, but the demons who were guarding the portal still heard some rumours about what happened a few months ago.

When the Blood Demon heard what the extreme demon said, his expression changed because he had also heard the rumours about how Malphasar was seriously injured in a fight and thousands of demons who were guarding the portal died.

Thinking something terrifying might once again come out of the portal, the Blood Demon immediately took out a crystal and immediately informed Zaganath about the abnormality.

After informing Zaganath, all the demons who were standing around the portal backed away and continued to monitor it from the distance.

Around ten minutes later, the expressions of all the demons who were looking at the portal of the shadow realm changed as they saw the size of the portal start to shrink.

"Don't tell me this portal is going to close..." The blood demon muttered with a stunned face, not knowing what to do.

The portal of the shadow realm continued to shrink and in less than one minute, it completely disappeared from the place it was a second ago.

All the demons looked at the scene with shocked look on their faces and felt a chill run down their spines thinking about what kind of reaction Zaganath and Baphomet would show once they knew about this.

While the demons were panicking, the place where the portal of the Shadow Realm was located suddenly became chaotic. As the space became chaotic, a portal which was similar to the previous portal started to appear there.

Although the portal was similar to before, all the demons who saw the portal felt their heart palpitated. For some reason, the portal of the Shadow Realm now gave them an extreme feeling of danger.

Brzzz!!

The space around the portal continued to tremble and the size of the portal continued to increase.

In just a few seconds, the size of the portal returned back to its previous size.

Although the demons were startled because of the strange feeling that the portal was giving them, they still sighed in relief after noticing the portal was back to normal.

They were still thinking about what kind of reaction Zaganath and Baphomet would have shown if the portal had really disappeared.

Once the portal returned to its normal size, the energy fluctuations that were coming out of it started to decrease as well.

"Looks like nothing going to come out of the portal this time..." The Extreme Demon said in a voice filled with relief. He was afraid that something would come out of the portal and all of them would die here just like what had happened to the demons who were previously guarding the portal.

The blood demon also nodded his head hearing the extreme demon because he was thinking the same.

Just when all the demons were sighing in relief...

Brzzzz!!!

The portal of the shadow realm shook fiercely.

Boom!

A booming sound reverted in thousands of kilometres and the next second...

Woosh!

A tsunami of black energy erupted from the portal, instantly covering thousands of kilometres of area in all directions around the portal of the shadow realm.

If Evan was here, he would have been shocked because the energy was similar to his shadow energy, but unlike his normal shadow energy, the energy that erupted from the portal was releasing an ancient aura along with a terrifying feeling of death.

All the demons who were guarding the portal were caught inside the tsunami of the black energy and the moment they came into contact with the energy, only one word echoed into their minds.

DEATH!

In less than a second after coming into contact with the energy, all the demons who were guarding the portal disappeared without a trace, their physical bodies and souls were completely annihilated.
