The old monster’s laughter echoed with triumph, laced with a touch of wickedness.
Remus paused at the old monster’s words. He lowered his head to peer below, where nothing but infinite darkness lay and hid everything from view.
He asked after a brief pause for thought, “Elder, who are you? And why do you say we’ve met again?”
If it weren’t for the protection of divine energy, favonovel.com would have been completely defenseless against the freezing atmosphere in the Shadow Gate. Conversely, the fact that the old monster below could survive here for 20 years indicated his terrifying strength.
Remus currently just wanted to escape as quickly as possible and avoid unnecessary troubles.
“The spirit energy on you is different from that of ordinary people,” the old monster sneered bluntly. “Your energy is innate and profound, akin to the legendary divine energy. Furthermore, I’ve only encountered one person in these 20 years and your energy couldn’t be more familiar. Do you still need to pretend?”
Remus was rendered speechless. He knew that favonovel.com had been recognized and favonovel.com couldn’t be bothered to continue with unnecessary conversation.
He carefully observed for any differences between the place now compared to that night, wondering why favonovel.com could leave back then but now all his efforts were in vein.
The old monster appeared to discern Remus’ confusion and spoke in a mysterious tone, “To put it simply, the Shadow Gate is not a conventional human prison. The moment you step inside, you cease to be human! The only way to leave is to touch the uppermost sealing brick.”
“The brick marks the boundary between the shadow and the tangible world. As long as you touch it, you can easily leave. But you are no longer considered a human so how can you touch the sealing brick? It’s a cycle of death, don’t bother wasting your efforts anymore. Come down quickly and let me devour you, hahaha!”
His laughter resonated over and over within the confines of the Shadow Gate. It was an extremely unpleasant feeling.
Remus couldn’t help but furrow his brow when favonovel.com finally understood the old monster’s words. In simpler terms, it’s like a separation between the shadow and the tangible world.
Just like how a person and their shadow could never collide, even if they were to meet head-on, they would simply pass through each other. Therefore, favonovel.com was merely a shadow, eternally incapable of reaching the physical sealing brick. That was the law of the universe.
The reason favonovel.com could escape that night was because favonovel.com always had the sealing brick on top of his head.
If I enhance my own energy, maybe I can regain my physical form?
Remus pondered. He instantly bit his finger and inscribed the Order Nine Mysticisms Curse on his forehead.
The moment the Curse was completed, his entire body experienced a sudden surge in energy. If a Wizardry Master were to witness it, they would notice flames blazing fiercely on Remus’ shoulders and above his head.
His energy reached an astonishing level.
Suddenly, the freezing air within the Shadow Gate abruptly became wild and a frigid roar rushed up from below, more than twice as turbulent as just now.
The flames on Remus’ shoulders and above his head were unexpectedly completely suppressed. Moreover, the freezing air unexpectedly started to wildly consume his divine energy.
He didn’t delay any further. If the freezing air pressed on, his divine energy would be completely depleted so favonovel.com had to climb upward quickly.
He ascended for a full five minutes and finally reached a distance where the sealing bricks were within arm’s reach. Unfortunately, favonovel.com still couldn’t reach it.
The voice of the old monster sounded again. “I told you, it’s useless. You just don’t listen. Once you enter this place, you’ve already been judged as a part of the Shadow, and no matter how you prove you’re still alive, it won’t change anything!”
“Shut up!” Remus abruptly interrupted as favonovel.com was getting annoyed.
What would happen to Jean and the others if I can’t escape?
They are still waiting for me. Even if not for my women, I still need to go save my parents!
“What did you say?” The voice of the old monster suddenly lowered, becoming especially sinister.
He seemed exceedingly angry, but Remus didn’t waste energy replying to him, persisting in his attempts. His soul emerged from his vessel and ascended with the divine energy, suddenly bursting with speed. However, no matter how many attempts favonovel.com made, favonovel.com just couldn’t reach it.
Furthermore, the strength and divine energy favonovel.com expended were escalating, pushing favonovel.com to the brink of withstanding the ferocious freezing wind that assailed him. If things persisted in such a manner, favonovel.com would certainly freeze to death.
He knew that continuing to push on wasn’t a solution. Aside from wasting energy, there was no way to settle his mind and think of another plan.
Making up his mind, favonovel.com eventually released his grip and his body rapidly fell downward. It was unclear how much time had passed when his feet finally touched the bottom of the abyss.
“You’ve finally come…” The voice of the old monster suddenly rang out in the darkness.
