No matter how calm and calculative Emrys was, he was still scared by the current situation. The sinister energy kept engulfing his body slowly. In a matter of a few minutes, no matter how hard Emrys struggled, half of his body had turned dark, releasing a demonic aura that perfectly complemented the demonic blade's nature.

What should I do?

Emrys was trying to think hard, however, he could not find a solution to his predicament. If this continued, who knows what the consequences would be?

To be honest, Emrys started regretting his actions. He could clearly tell that the blade was demonic, filled with dark and sinister energy. Why the hell did he take it away before shifting to a different node?

"Why don't you try instilling the remaining Soul Essence into that weapon? Although it would waste precious Soul Essence, it might help you control your situation."

What the...

Emrys was startled. He immediately looked around, trying to find the owner of that voice. Regrettably, he was unable to find anyone. In fact, he could not even feel anyone's presence in this space.

However, that voice was magnetic, filled with a different level of charm. Just the voice alone was enough to divert his attention completely from his terrible issue. For a moment, as if Emrys was enchanted, he could not help but want to look for the owner of the voice.

It was also at this moment that something within his soul seemed to have been stirred, utterly shaking his soul, and bringing him back to his senses.

Phuuu~

Emrys let out a deep breath. When he thought back to what happened just now, his expression changed. Immediately putting on guard, he cautiously looked around again, wanting to find the owner of the voice.

However, unlike before, his intention was different this time.

Nonetheless, he was unable to see anyone. In the end, his attention was brought back to the sinister energy that was engulfing his body relentlessly and thought of the Soul Essence that the voice talked about.

"What is Soul Essence?"

Emrys was confused. This was the first time he heard of the term 'Soul Essence'.

All of a sudden, a light flashed in front of him. A frown appeared on his face as he raised his head, only to be stunned again. It is because of the person standing in front of him.

It was a lady, stunningly beautiful in every way.

She stood with an ethereal grace that seemed to defy the laws of nature, an aura of unearthly beauty surrounding her. Her long red hair, cascading down her back in a silken waterfall, was a rich, deep ebony that shimmered faintly in the light. Her skin was smooth and pale, almost luminescent, giving her an otherworldly glow.

Her most striking feature, however, was her eyes. A pair of bright viridian-colored eyes, like the vivid green pigment of a freshly sprouted leaf in spring, dominated her delicate face. They were mesmerizing, filled with a depth that spoke of wisdom and a mysterious allure that was capable of captivating anyone who dared to meet her gaze.

Her features were finely sculpted, with high cheekbones and a perfectly symmetrical face that seemed to have been carved by the gods themselves. Her lips were full and naturally rosy, often curling into a serene and knowing smile that could both comfort and unsettle those around her.

She was tall and slender. She was covered in white garments that appeared to be out of this world. It was not clothes that could be seen everywhere. As if the clothes were not real but the manifestation of dense energy, they shimmered with subtle hues, reflecting the light in iridescent patterns that seemed to change with her every movement.

The most eye-catching thing about her was her aura which perfectly reflected her powerful strength. Despite her serene and gentle appearance, there was an unmistakable aura of strength and domination about her.

Emrys was standing like a fool in front of her. He was completely mesmerized by her appearance, forgetting everything in that instant. For a moment, nothing and nobody but only that beautiful lady was in his world.

Rumble~

For some reason, his soul trembled inexplicably once again. This time, the impact was even more intense, leaving him feeling dizzy. Had the source of that Soul Shock been malicious, he might have been rendered unconscious or worse, killed.

When he came back to his senses, Emrys's face reflected the fear in his heart.

"Eh, you came back to senses real quick. I didn't expect this from you. It seems you are deeper than I thought."

The lady spoke in her enchanting voice. Warning bells constantly rang in Emrys's heart. For some reason, his instincts were telling him to stay away from this lady, however, even if he wanted to, he could not move at all. Something invisible seemed to have bound his body, restricting all his movements.

"W-Who are you?" Emrys asked while trembling. He did not even notice that the sinister energy had stopped engulfing his body the instant this beautiful lady appeared before him.

"Emrys Frazier, I've been watching you!"

Instead of revealing her identity, the lady told Emrys that she had been watching him. She looked at him with a beautiful smile that was enough to capture anyone's heart completely and make them go crazy for her.

Emrys also found it almost impossible to control his senses and emotions. It was very difficult. Fortunately, a stream of bizarre energy was released into his soul, calming him immediately. The source of this energy was unknown.

At first, Emrys thought that it was the doing of the multicolored orb. However, when that bizarre energy was released, Emrys was sure that it had nothing to do with the Multicolored Orb. That seemed to be some sort of secret hidden deep inside his Soul.

Emrys was taken aback by the strangeness within himself for the first time. Apart from the Multicolored Orb, he couldn't comprehend what else lay hidden within his soul. He felt deeply puzzled and confused, realizing there were mysteries about his own soul that he himself was unaware of.

'Or maybe, these mysteries are not mine, they belonged to the original owner of this body!'

When this thought crossed Emrys's mind, it struck him deeply, planting an unknown fear in his heart.

How can he not be afraid when something unknown that might be related to the previous owner of the body suddenly revealed its trace?

Emrys breathed deeply and tried to calm down. At least, for the time being, that unknown doesn't seem to have a negative impact on him.
