Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Are you fine now?" Alaric asked while looking at Anastasia.

Anastasia nodded hearing Alaric and asked with a frown, "How long was I out?"

"It's been more than a month. If I couldn't feel your aura, I would have thought something happened to you," Alaric said while shaking his head as he looked at the pyramid-shaped structure where Anastasia had been staying for the last month. Even though this structure was inside his hidden realm, he still couldn't see inside it and it was impossible for him to know her condition.

"More than a month..." Anastasia sighed inwardly when she heard Alaric and shook her head.

'It seems using the enslavement technique on that useless bastard took quite a toll on my soul,' She said to herself, thinking about Leopold

She examined her soul carefully and found there was no hidden injury. After confirming she was completely fine, she stopped thinking about it and looked at Alaric.

"Can you take me there now?"

"Sure, I have already made all the preparations. I was just waiting for you to wake up," Alaric said and a portal appeared in front of him.

He entered the portal, followed by Anastasia, who had an eager look on her face.

In a remote area of the Central Area of the Dark Forest, a dark blue portal appeared and Alaric and Anastasia walked out of it.

Upon emerging from the portal, Anastasia looked around and couldn't help but frown.

She could tell that they were still in the Central Area of the Dark Forest, but the area around her didn't look like the Central Area at all.

The Central Area of the Dark Forest was filled with towering trees that could reach up to five hundred meters, but the area Alaric brought her to had no such trees or plants. This area was completely barren and other than some small rocks and sand, there was nothing else.

Alaric ignored Anastasia's confused look and walked some distance away from her.

After walking a few meters away, he picked up a fist-sized rock from the ground, took out a silver-coloured Rune Paper from his storage ring and attached it to the rock.

After attaching the Rune Paper to the rock, he crushed the rock along with the Rune Paper, turning it into dust.

Anastasia watched everything without saying anything, not understanding what Alaric was trying to do.

For the first few seconds, nothing happened, but soon, Anastasia couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise when she saw the crushed rock in Alaric's hand start to glow with silver light.

Alaric threw the glowing crushed rock into the air, and as the glowing dust fell, a portal began to manifest in front of him.

'Just what kind of place are we going to?' Anastasia couldn't help but wonder as she saw the portal manifesting in front of Alaric.

In just a few seconds, the dust thrown by Alaric disappeared and a small portal appeared before them.

"Remember, don't try to cause trouble for me" Once the portal was formed, Alaric said to Anastasia in a stern voice as if he was warning a problem child.

"I never cause trouble for anyone," Anastasia replied irritably when she heard Alaric.

"Heh," Alaric sneered when he heard Anastasia as if he had heard the biggest joke of his life and turned to enter the portal.

Anastasia's mouth twitched uncontrollably when she heard Alaric's sneering voice, but she didn't say anything.

She knew better than anyone whether she caused trouble or not. In her opinion, she never caused trouble for anyone. She was a pacifist, so why would she cause trouble for anyone?

'This bastard is slandering me for no reason...' Anastasia grumbled inwardly and entered the portal as well.

A few moments later...

"What did you say, you bastard? Do you want to die?" Anastasia shouted angrily, glaring at Sylvan, who looked back at her with fear in his eyes.

"Damn woman, I told you not to cause trouble. Why are—"

"Shut up, old man! Didn't you hear what he just called me?" Anastasia didn't let Alaric finish his words and snapped at him, causing him to take a step back in fear when he saw her furious expression.

'Fu*k, Why the hell did this old man call her that guy's mother?' Alaric looked at Sylvan while rubbing his eyebrows, feeling this guy was beyond saving.

"You... How can you call me his... his..." Anastasia wasn't able to continue her sentence and once again snapped at Sylvan.

Sylvan was confused and horrified at the same time. He couldn't understand why this woman became so angry when he called her Evan's mother.

'Evan told me that his mother and father were on honeymoon. Could it be that something happened during their honeymoon and now she is venting her anger on me? Maybe, she caught Shadow Monarch with another woman doing something.'

Although Sylvan was old, his imagination was no less than that of the neighbouring aunts who gossips about people all day, so when he saw Anastasia's angry look, he started to imagine different kinds of wild scenarios.

When Anastasia saw the look on Sylvan's face, she didn't know why but her anger increased to a completely different level.

"I don't know what this old fart is thinking, but I'm going to beat him until his own mother doesn't recognize him!"

"Wait, wait, Anastasia..." Alaric quickly stopped Anastasia because from her face, he could tell that she was really about to give Sylvan a good beating.

"Look, I know it must have been upsetting for you when this guy made you the mother of the man whose wife you want to be, but you should show some mercy to him. He is so old, just consider his age and let him go this time."

'Wi-wife,' Sylvan was shocked when he heard what Alaric just said and thought his ears were not working properly. 'Did he just say she wants to become the wife of her own son.'

"What do you mean by considering his age and he is old..." Anastasia sneered when she heard Alaric. "This guy is just a kid in front of me."

"That..." Alaric was stunned when he heard Anastasia and wasn't able to refute her. He completely forgot that the woman in front of him was as old as the world itself and Sylvan was really a kid in front of her.

Seeing Alaric's expression, Anastasia took a deep breath and said after a moment.

"Because of you, I will let him off and won't beat him too badly, but I still need to give him a good spanking so that he won't speak nonsense in the future."

"Sp-spanking," A look of horror appeared on Sylvan's old face and he took a step back.

He wanted to shout that he wasn't a child, but remembering Anastasia's identity, he couldn't say anything because in front of her, he was really a child.

"Well, it's better than breaking some of his bones," Alaric nodded his head upon hearing Anastasia and stepped aside.

"You—" Sylvan was shocked when he saw Alaric didn't stop Anastasia and his face turned pale white.

Just when Sylvan was thinking about how he could avoid this disaster, Ashley suddenly appeared inside the cave with a serious expression and said something that shocked everyone.

"Grandpa, something happened inside the Tomb Of The Ancient."
