Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Out of all the people...
Spread throughout the four continents, all Overlords felt something. It was as if a heavy suppressive aura had descended from the sky.
The aura could not hurt them, and it was something that only they could feel. But even they could not locate the source of this.
The source appeared to be everywhere, and nowhere at the same time. Even the four Overlords could not find the source.
"Has it been peaceful for too long?" Feng Yu mumbled under her breath, looking at the sky above.
Standing atop the Necromancer Tower, the Overlord of Death started laughing. The reason behind his laughter remained unknown, yet beneath that laughter lurked something ominous.
The Holy Priestess looked at the statue of the Goddess. She closed her eyes and returned to her prayer in silence.
In the Heroes' Continent, Mist also closed her eyes. Her thoughts were impossible to fathom.
....
"I truly don't understand if he is lucky, or unlucky."
In an unknown place, a man sat in darkness. In this place, there was no concept of space and time. Everything was surrounded by nothing but darkness.
He closed his eyes and let himself be enveloped by the calming darkness.
"Out of all the people, he had to end up in Ren Necroline's body... He had to end up as the person who should have died as soon as possible..."
He slowly closed his eyes. In the darkness, only his blood red eyes were visible, appearing to encompass the entire universe within.
"I thought he would die. He managed to surpass my expectations again and again. But more than that, aren't you being too favorable to him?"
He asked a question. It was impossible to know who the question was directed towards. In this place, there was no one else.
"Two question vouchers, and now the temporary Unseal...? I hope you understand the consequences..."
No response came in the darkness. In the end, the man closed his eyes again. The place returned to the eerie silence.
....
"What happened to him? Did he lose his mind?"
Astral did not understand why Eren was suddenly behaving like this. Why was he roaring like a wild beast? Even his face had gone completely pale, as if his body had not a single drop of blood.
Eren found himself in the grips of an unexpected and excruciating agony. It felt as though an unseen force was relentlessly attacking him, causing his bones to audibly crack.
The intensity of the pain seemed to multiply, amplifying his suffering to an unbearable degree.
His heart raced at an alarming pace, too rapid to even attempt to count its beats. His throat grew dry, reaching a level of dryness where a single drop of water would have provided immense relief, akin to a divine elixir.
As the torment persisted, Eren's vision began to distort, taking on a menacing shade of red. A foreboding aura emanated from within him, adding to the terror of the situation.
[Temporary Unseal Voucher has been used]
[The effects will last for two minutes]
In the midst of his pain, a series of notifications flashed before Eren, but he was unable to see them clearly or understand their contents.
Every ounce of his being was consumed by the agony, leaving no room for any other thoughts or considerations.
Why was unsealing his cultivation so painful?! Was something wrong with the voucher? There were many questions in his mind, but all these questions were buried deep within his painful roars.
The pain was too much for his fragile mind to handle. He felt like he was going to go crazy just from the pain alone.
He did not want to lose consciousness. He could only temporarily Unseal his cultivation. If he wasted this time and passed out, what was going to happen to Xiu Ying?
With his strong will, he tried to resist the pain. He clenched his teeth, almost biting his lips.
A trail of blood trickled down his chin as he fought against the excruciating agony. Unfortunately, the pain was too much for him.
Even with a firm willpower, he could not resist the pain. His mind was almost on the verge of shattering when he lost consciousness.
Unfortunately, that was only the beginning. Even as he passed out, his body remained standing. His pupils became even more focused.
The painful roars stopped as another trail of blood trickled out of his nose. At that moment, it appeared as if everything was over.
"I told you, run!" Astral's Spirit yelled. If he could, he would have dragged earth's Astral by grabbing his collar.
"Run? Why should I run? He can't even move. What's the worst he can do?!" Astral lazily replied. He did not take Eren seriously.
He already knew the people in this world who could threaten him. In front of his spatial abilities, only the four Overlords were strong enough to become a threat to him.
Did he really need to be scared of a man who was crying like an animal and bleeding without even being hurt? He even wondered if Astral's Spirit was messing with him.
Unfortunately, his thoughts soon changed. A sense of crisis rose within his heart suddenly. He felt as if he was going to die if he did not move!
Right before his eyes, Eren stepped forward. Even the seal of space around his legs wasn't able to stop him. His legs were bleeding, but Eren did not seem to care.
Before he could even blink his eyes, Eren appeared right before him.
Shocked, he quickly used blink and teleported hundred meters away, not letting Eren's hands touch him.
"H-how?"
He groaned in pain, even as he teleported away from Eren.
"He was not able to touch me! I am sure! So how?!"
He looked down, feeling pain rising from his chest. There was a bloody scar left on his chest.
"Something is really wrong with that bastard! I am leaving!"
A teleportation portal appeared behind Astral. He wanted to go as far away from Eren as possible.
He stepped back, but before he could even enter the portal, he felt a cold hand appear before his eyes.
The hand grabbed his face. In the next moment, a loud bang echoed through the air as Astral was smashed on the hard floor.
