Chapter 893  Spirit Resonance (Part 2)

When Leopold ordered Dark Star to attack her, Anastasia was quite surprised as she did not expect that the limp-dick vampire would have the courage to attack her.

Just from a single look, she could tell that unlike the dickhead vampire, the man in black clothes was quite powerful.

Although Dark Star was just at the peak of Rank Four, not even at Rank Five, using her status as the Progenitor of the Shadow Dragons, she could tell that even a Rank Five Core Evolver would have a hard time fighting against Dark Star because of his powerful stealth skills.

Though the man was powerful, Anastasia didn't put him in her eyes because almost all of the stealth-type skills were useless in front of her. Moreover, even though she had less than half of her original powers because she left most of her powers with the essence clone inside the shadow realm, she had enough confidence that she could defeat any Rank Four Core Evolver.

Only Rank Five and Rank Six Core Evolvers could give her trouble and even when facing high-level Core Evolvers, she had many trump cards that she had created while staying in the shadow realm for the past few thousand years.

Anastasia long since knew that one day she would have to leave the shadow realm, but in order to do so, she would have to create a powerful essence clone and leave most of her powers behind. She had many enemies in Utopia, so she was aware that leaving the shadow realm with less than half of her powers would be quite dangerous for her. Therefore, to avoid trouble after leaving the shadow realm, she created some techniques that would help her.

One of the techniques that she created while she was inside the shadow realm was 'Spirit Resonance.'

To create an essence clone, people have to plant a very small part of their soul inside it. But in Anastasia's case, she had to plant more than half of her soul inside the essence clone she had left in the shadow realm because it had to bear the pressure of the partial authority of the shadow realm, and it was impossible without strong spiritual power.

Because of creating this essence clone, it wouldn't be wrong to say that the current Anastasia only had 25 to 30% of her original powers.

But using the Spirit Resonance technique that she created, she can create a temporary link with the part of her soul that she planted inside the essence clone and use that link to burn the spiritual power of the soul that she left inside Shadow Realm to boost her powers.

Burning her spiritual powers is naturally a very dangerous thing to do, and if something goes wrong while using this technique her soul will be severely damaged and in the worst case, she will fall into a deep slumber or Worse, the part of her soul that she has left inside the shadow realm will be completely destroyed.

The only reason Anastasia even created this technique was because of the healing factor of the shadow realm, which was very effective in healing souls. Because of having partial authority over the shadow realm, she could use its power to heal her soul in case something went wrong while using this technique.

But obviously, if she overused this technique, then even with the healing factor of the shadow realm, the consequences would be dire.

Although this technique was quite dangerous, if she used it in moderation with perfect control, it could improve her powers greatly.

Although Anastasia created this technique, she never got the chance to use it, so when Dark Star attacked her, she signalled Alaric, who wanted to stop Dark Star to not to do anything since she wanted to test it.

As she activated the Spirit Resonance technique, she felt a connection with the second part of her soul that was inside the shadow realm and through the link, the moment she burned the spiritual power of the essence clone, a surge of power filled her body, bringing her powers to around 70% of her original powers.

She could already feel Dark Star's presence even before she used Spirit Resonance to increase her powers, but after increasing her power, she could even see him clearly even though he was hiding using his stealth skill.

Looking at Dark Star's position, she calculated the place where his shadow would have been created if he wasn't invisible and tapped there using one of her skills that could directly damage people through their shadows.

Anastasia tapped her finger right at the chest area of Dark Star's shadow where his heart was located and pressed her finger without using too much force.

Although she didn't use too much force, Dark Star, who was ready to attack her felt as if someone had plunged a knife inside his chest, and the knife was just a millimetre away from stabbing his heart.

Feeling the fear of looming death, Dark Star came out of stealth mode and looked at Anastasia with eyes full of terror.

He glanced at the place Anastasia tapped her finger earlier and noticed her finger was right at the place where he was feeling pain in his chest and the fear he was feeling intensified.

The most shocking thing that he felt was that even though he dropped to his knees after coming out of his stealth, his shadow was still frozen on the ground in the same position as when he was invisible.

Anastasia did not care about Dark Star since she never put him in her eyes so after taking care of him, she instead focused on the link she created using Spirit Resonance.

Feeling the condition of the soul that was inside her essence clone, Anastasia frowned.

"One minute or one minute and ten seconds if I push my spiritual power to its limit. If I use Spirit Resonance longer than that, even with the help of the Shadow Realm, it will become difficult to heal my soul," Anastasia muttered with a frown on her face as the time limit was way shorter than she expected.

But thinking about how she was actually creating a soul link from billions of kilometres away, she realized it was natural that she wouldn't be able to use this power for long with her limited spiritual powers.

'Well, one minute is also not bad...' Anastasia thought and shook her head slightly.

Just when she was thinking about her technique, she heard Leopold's voice and her eyes turned ice cold.

"Alaric, what do you think you are doing? I know this is your hidden realm and you can control everything here. Do you think I won't realize you are helping that sl*t using your powers? Do you want to break our business partnership because of that s*x doll of yours?"

The moment Leopold stopped speaking, Alaric didn't even get a chance to say anything when everyone present inside the hidden realm felt a chill run down their spines.

"Anastas—" Alaric quickly looked towards Anastasia to say something as he knew she was the source of the chill he just felt, but his words stuck inside his throat when he looked at her and saw her eyes had changed into glowing violet draconic eyes.

Looking into those eyes, he felt as if he was looking at a top predator that could devour him at any moment.

Leopold was the one who was the most affected by the pressure since Anastasia's gaze was fixed on him.

When the vampire looked at Anastasia and saw her glowing purple eyes, his face turned deathly pale and his body started to shake.

Suddenly, Leopold's instincts started to scream and urged him to move his body. His instincts were screaming at him that if he didn't move, he would die.

Feeling the sense of death, Leopold mustered all of his power and moved his body slightly.

The moment he moved his body slightly...

Slash!

"Arghhhh!" A sharp black light flashed, red blood spurted out and one of Leopold's arms was cut off.

While screaming in pain and horror, Leopold quickly stepped away because he realized if he hadn't moved his body at the last second, instead of his arm, it would have been his head that would have been cut off.

After moving away, Leopold turned around and looked behind him to see who attacked him, and the moment he looked back, his pale face turned even paler because he realized the attacker was actually his own shadow, which had somehow come to life and was standing behind him while holding a scythe in its hands.
