Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Grandpa, something happened inside the Tomb Of The Ancient." Ashley suddenly appeared inside the cave.

"What happened?" Sylvan's face changed upon hearing Ashley and he asked with a serious look on his face.

Although he appeared deadly serious, inwardly, he was shouting like a little kid and praising Ashley like there was no tomorrow.

'She is such a good granddaughter. She just saved my old a*s from this woman...' Sylvan shouted inwardly and sighed in relief.

When he heard Anastasia was about to give him a good spanking, he was so afraid that he nearly entered the cycle of reincarnation.

'I wouldn't have been able to show my face to anyone if she had really spanked me.' The more Sylvan thought about it, the gentler his gaze became towards Ashley.

Ashley was baffled when she saw the way Sylvan was looking at her and took a step back while eyeing him warily. She felt this old man was plotting something against her.

When Sylvan saw Ashley's wary look, the small smile on his face stiffened and he felt like crying.

"Ignore this stupid guy..." Ashley suddenly heard Anastasia's voice. "Tell me, what happened to the Tomb?"

Ashley wasn't surprised to see Anastasia and Alaric, as she was the one who had brought them here.

The Rune Paper Alaric used to enter the hidden world was created by her, so the moment he entered, she was alerted and went to meet them.

Although she was surprised when she saw Alaric bring another person with him, she didn't say anything because she knew Alaric wouldn't harm them.

"The Tomb Of The Ancient collapsed," Ashley said in a serious voice.

"What?" A shocked look appeared on the faces of Anastasia and the others, and they looked at her with wide eyes.

Sylvan's face turned pale when he heard Ashley and he quickly appeared in front of her.

"Wh-what about the kids? Are they fine?"

"Don't worry, the Dryads who entered the Tomb are coming back one by one."

Hearing Ashley, Sylvan breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.

"How do you know the Tomb collapsed?" Anastasia asked with a frown on her face.

"There are still a few days left before the Tomb officially closes, but just now, two of the Dryads who entered the Tomb come back one by one. When I asked them what happened, they said something serious happened inside the Tomb..." Ashley paused for a moment before continuing. "According to them, some terrifying auras suddenly appeared inside the Tomb, and the space of the Tomb started to collapse. The entire tomb was filled with spatial cracks, and just when they thought they would be engulfed by the cracks, both of them were ejected from the Tomb."

"Some powerful auras..." Anastasia and the others frowned when they heard Ashley, as they couldn't understand what kind of terrifying auras could appear inside the Tomb that would destroy the entire dimension.

"Have all the people who entered the Tomb returned?" Anastasia suddenly asked as she couldn't sense Evan's presence.

If he had come back, she would have been able to feel his presence immediately.

"Not all of them," Ashley shook her head. "But they should be able to return soon. If my guess is correct, then the people who were closer to the auras that destroyed the Tomb will take longer to return because of the disturbance in the space. So the people who are still not back must have been closer to the auras that destroyed the Tomb."

"Let's go and wait near the formation where the kids will come back," Sylvan said and without waiting for anyone, he quickly disappeared from his place.

"I will lead you guys to the location of the formation," Ashley shook her head when she saw how anxious Sylvan was and spoke to Anastasia and Alaric.

Anastasia and Alaric nodded and followed Ashley.

While following Ashley, Anastasia suddenly paused for a second but then resumed walking as if nothing had happened.

'What's wrong?' Anastasia asked in a serious voice, having just received a message from her essence clone.

Her essence clone couldn't contact her normally as both of them were in different dimensions.

She was in the closed world of the Dryads, while her essence clone was in the Primordial Shadow Realm. To contact Anastasia, her essence clone needed to use the Spirit Resonance skill that she had used while fighting against Leopold.

Although it wouldn't place too much burden on her soul since she was using it as a means of communication, it was still not good for her to use the Spirit Resonance skill often.

She knew that if it wasn't an emergency situation, her essence clone wouldn't have contacted her, which is why she sounded so serious.

Upon hearing Anastasia's serious voice, her essence clone told her everything that had happened a few minutes ago.

When Anastasia heard about three random portals that suddenly appeared inside the Primordial Shadow Realm in front of the three strongest people currently living there, she was stunned.

But when she heard her essence clone had sensed Evan's aura from the other end of the portal and what Valtair did, her eyes turned extremely cold and a look of anger appeared on her face.

'Kill that fu*ker, Master must have used an Authority to summon a powerful shadow undead because he was in danger, but this brain-dead bastard...' Anastasia cursed and her heart turned heavy.

Thinking about the terrifying auras that Ashley mentioned just a while ago, her face turned pale for a moment, but she tried to control her emotions.

'What is the condition of the shadow realm? Are there any irregularities after the portals disappeared?' Anastasia asked her essence clone.

'There are no irregularities till now and everything is working fine.'

Anastasia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her essence clone and her unsettled heart relaxed a bit.

'Since there are no irregularities in the shadow realm, it means Master is still fine..' Anastasia thought to herself.

'Let me know if anything unexpected happens in the shadow realm,' Anastasia said to her essence clone and stopped communicating with her.

In just a few minutes, Ashley brought Anastasia and Alaric to the building where the formation was located and they entered together.
