Chapter 461 - Shinka's Sudden Appearence
Taking down a Grandmaster Level Soul was something that was almost impossible for Adam who had only recently strengthened his Soul Form to become a Master Level Soul, especially since the Grandmaster Level Soul was an Evil Soul that was powerful and skilled.
However, Adam couldn't allow it to roam freely and it was his responsibility to take it down after finding out about its existence, while it would also feal a blow to the Blood Moon Group.
Suddenly, Adam sensed something appearing near him and instantly became alert.
It was a portal from the underworld and usually, when sensing them, Adam could tell that it was a mere mindless Death Wraith, but now he felt danger as he jumped away from the portal that appeared near him.
The existence of an Evil Soul that was that powerful in a Mortal Realm would definitely alert the underworld, and Adam didn't want any issues with the underworld.
However, with his Soul Vision, he let out a sigh of relief and was also happy when he saw who came out.
It was the person that he had been thinking about as the perfect person to help him deal with the Evil Soul.
It was Shinka.
"It's been a while Shinka, how are you doing?"
As he said that, Adam switched to his Soul Form and floated over to her.
However, she suddenly collapsed into his arms in her Soul Form and was very fatigued, and also very injured.
Adam was surprised when he was able to sense the portal, and it seemed as though he was mistaken.
It wasn't a portal from the underworld, but an escape portal that Shinka must have used to get away from something that had almost managed to destroy her soul.
She didn't have time or enough Soul Power to create a portal back to the underworld while in the state she was in, so resorted to transporting herself using an escape treasure.
The treasure worked by her needing to think about where she wanted to escape to and she thought about Adam, who was the only human and living person that she knew.
Adam quickly began streaming Soul Power into her Soul Form as he helped her recover.
Her recovery speed was amazing and Adam noticed that her horns had grown and would glow as she sucked in energy to recover her Soul Power.
If it wasn't for Adam quickly supplying her with Soul Power and helping her to recover as soon as she appeared, it was unlikely that she would have been able to recover and could have sustained permanent damage to her soul.
While if her soul was destroyed, it would be almost impossible to recover it or bring her back to life, which was why it was so risky to fight in a Soul Form or attack one's soul.
"Thanks, you saved me there Adam" she thanked as she woke up to find that Adam was floating behind her and had his hands on her bare back.
Since they were both in Soul Forms, they could make contact with each other and felt and was the same as physical contact.
While inanimate objects such as their clothes would also enter into a state that was similar to their Soul Form, but that was only for Adam and Soul Creatures from the underworld who were able to switch between a Physical and Soul Form.
She blushed and from a young age she had been protected and treated like a princess, never touched by anyone other than her close family and her maid.
However, she knew that Adam wasn't taking advantage of her and had quickly managed to save her at the cost of most of his Soul Power that would take him a while to recover.
Or so she thought.
She watched as Adam used the Ethereal Recovery Skill while in his Soul Form and rapidly recovered his Soul Power.
Shinka was amazed by what she saw and she was glad that she had chosen Adam as the person to teleport to.
"What happened? Is it a Grandmaster Level Evil Soul?" asked Adam.
"How did you know?"
Adam explained to her that he was looking for three Master Level Evil Soul Cultivators to eliminate them, but when he found them, they were already dead and one of them had consumed the Evil Souls of the other two.
Hearing his explanation, she had a much clearer understanding of how such a powerful Evil Soul came to existence so quickly and suddenly.
"So it seems we both have the same target," she said.
"Want to team up? I was already thinking of looking for help and you came to mind,"
"Yes, that would be great,"
With that, both of them felt much more confident in dealing with the Grandmaster Evil Soul with the help of the other, but from Shinka's description, it would still be a tough battle.
"We have no time to waste, I am sure you need to get back to the underworld, while I also have other things I need to do. We should begin searching for the Evil Soul and make sure it isn't able to hide or begin consuming the souls of innocents,"
As he said that, Adam began heading in the direction that he could sense a faint trace of Evil Soul Power that was left behind by the Evil Soul and Shika went with him.
"How powerful are you right now? Do you think you could beat me?" asked Shinka, who was surprisingly competitive.
In truth, Adam was thinking the same thing, and he was unsure if he could beat her.
He was just as confident in combat in his Soul Form as his Physical Form and also had quite a few skills and abilities that he could use in his Soul Form.
"To be honest, I am unsure. But I am sure it would be a tough and quite even battle," answered Adam.
"However, that is only because, from what I can tell you still haven't been able to properly tap into the power of your horns," he admitted.
