Chapter 1179  Gravenheart Bastion (Part 2)

After entering the barrier with Velgoth's help, Evan made his way toward a teleportation formation that led directly to the capital of the Eldranthia Empire, where the World Core of Azragoth World was located.

"By the way, since the control of that Eldritch Horror over the World Core has already exceeded yours, wouldn't it be a problem for us? I mean, what if that guy utilizes its power, enters the capital, and takes the core?" Evan asked as he walked with Velgoth.

"It's impossible..." Velgoth shook his head upon hearing Evan and pointed at the barrier they had just entered. "This isn't an ordinary barrier. Even if that Eldritch Horror utilizes the power of the World Core, it wouldn't be able to destroy it in a short period of time. Besides, even if it somehow managed to break the barrier, it wouldn't be able to take the World Core away because, as I said before, the World Core can't be moved far from the centre of Azragoth World."

Evan raised an eyebrow at Velgoth's words as he didn't expect the barrier to be so powerful. At the same time, he recalled that Velgoth had indeed told him that the World Core couldn't be moved far from the centre of the world when he had asked him about it earlier.

Soon, Velgoth stopped in an open, square-shaped area. When Evan looked at the area in front of him, he didn't see anything abnormal about it.

But when he looked at the square-shaped area with his Eyes of Abyss, he found a giant formation engraved there, covering the entire square-shaped area, which was nearly ten square kilometres in size.

Velgoth walked forward and stood in the middle of the formation, followed by Evan. Behind them, other Eldritch Creatures followed, and soon about one-third of the Eldritch Army was standing in the formation.

'Morvael, prepare to go to the Gravenheart Bastion once we return to the capital,' Velgoth sent a message to Morvael, who decided to come with the other Eldritch Creatures in the next wave.

When Morvael heard Velgoth's message, his expression changed dramatically, but when he saw Velgoth's serious gaze, he nodded his head and didn't ask any questions.

Seeing Morvael nod, Velgoth didn't wait any longer and activated the formation. As he activated it, a silver light covered everyone standing within the formation, and with a flash of bright light, they all disappeared.

Once Velgoth left, Morvael waited for a few minutes before stepping into the formation with the remaining Eldritch Creatures and activating it again.

'What is His Majesty planning?' Morvael thought to himself, remembering the order Velgoth gave him before leaving and sighed inwardly.

Soon, all those standing in the formation were once again engulfed by silver light, and with a bright flash, they also disappeared from there.

In the capital of the Eldranthia Empire, not far from the red castle built atop the skull of a giant beast, a silver light flashed, and Morvael and the other Eldritch Creatures appeared.

The moment Morvael returned, he looked for Velgoth but found that he wasn't with the group that had come earlier.

"Where is His Majesty and that guy?" He walked to Nythor, who had come with Velgoth and asked in a low voice.

Nythor glanced toward the red castle some distance away from them and whispered, "As soon as we came back, His Majesty and that demon went inside the castle."

Morvael frowned even deeper when he heard Nythor and couldn't understand what Velgoth was planning.

'The World Passage is also there. What if that guy does something to it...' He thought, concern creasing his brow, but he soon shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

'There must be a reason His Majesty brought that guy here. Besides, if that guy wanted to do something, he could have done it earlier when he had sealed His Majesty's powers. Since he didn't do anything, they must have made some kind of deal.'

Morvael took a deep breath and called Nythor and Utharic away from the other Eldritch Creatures.

"I have received His Majesty's order. We need to prepare to go to the Gravenheart Bastion."

"What?!" Both Nythor and Utharic were stunned when they heard Morvael, and shock filled their faces.

"Is he planning to fight that Rank Five bastard?" Utharic asked with a frown.

"I don't know..." Morvael said, shaking his head. "He just told me to prepare everything as soon as possible. I don't know how much time we have, but if I had to guess, it wouldn't be long before we move again. So help me with the preparations."

"It must be because of that demon bastard..." Nythor sighed as Evan's image flashed in his mind.

"Maybe, but it doesn't matter. We just have to follow the orders. Besides..." Morvael said, a cold smirk appearing on his face, "it's not like we are on good terms with those Eldritch Horror bastards. If I can give them a piece of my mind before leaving Azragoth World, it'll be a nice farewell experience."

Hearing Morvael, Nythor and Utharic exchanged glances and shrugged their shoulders.

"All right, you guys handle things here; I will make the other preparations," Utharic said and disappeared from there.

Nythor and Morvael also moved swiftly, beginning to prepare the necessary arrangements.

While Nythor and the other Eldritch Creatures were busy outside, Velgoth led Evan deeper into the castle.

"So that's the World Core, huh," Evan muttered in a low voice as he gazed at the football-sized orb floating in front of him.

Currently, 60% of the orb's surface was pitch black, indicating that the Eldritch Horror had already seized control of more than half of the Azragoth World.

Velgoth had initially allowed the Eldritch Horror to control 50% of the world, but due to his serious injuries earlier, the Eldritch Horror had taken advantage of his weakened state to solidify more of its hold.

Evan looked at the World Core for a few seconds before he approached it.

As he touched the core, he felt its rough, sandpaper-like surface. He was about to ask Velgoth how much pure essence the World Core currently held, but before he could, a notification flashed before his eyes.

(Do you want to assimilate the World Core of Azragoth into the Primordial Shadow Realm?)
