Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 117: Ch 117: Second Soul Mark’s Strangeness

"Buzz!"

Before he could understand when and how this huge shadow appeared, a terrifying death aura exploded from the shadow’s body and descended, turning into a giant wave of deathly energy that swept toward Emrys’s body.

In the next moment, Emrys felt as if his body was in a thick deathly aura.

This caused Emrys’s heart to be filled with shock. He immediately used all his strength to defend himself.

Shockingly, his body appeared to be hungry for the deathly energy for some unknown reason. The instant the deathly energy touched his body, it disappeared, devoured by the Soul Mark, the Land of Cursed Abyss.

Emrys immediately noticed that as the deathly energy was devoured by his second Soul Mark, its quality increased automatically from White (Legendary) to Green (Ordinary). It did not stop there, the quality of his second soul mark continued to increase.

Green (Elite).

Green (Master).

Green (Epic).

Green (Legendary).

When the entire deathly aura was devoured by the second soul mark, the Lord of the Cursed Abyss, its quality had already broken through Blue (Ordinary).

Now this was interesting.

Emrys was utterly dumbfounded. He has no idea what just happened.

First of all, a mysterious shadow appeared in the water above his head. Secondly, he was attacked by a wave of deathly energy and before he could try to defend, the deathly energy was devoured by his second Soul Mark.

The second Soul Mark was called the Lord of the Cursed Abyss, and it behaved exactly like an abyss just now, devouring the deathly energy endlessly.

What shocked Emrys the most was the fact that the second soul mark’s quality increased just by devouring the deathly energy.

As far as he knew, Soul Marks can only be nourished by Soul Orbs. How come this was not the case for the second Soul Mark?

Emrys frowned and tried to think, but no answer came to his mind.

"It seems I have to ask someone after returning to the Infinite Soul Star!" Emrys muttered and put this question at the back of his head for the time being.

He was happy that the quality of his soul marks had increased. Both his first and second soul marks were now of Blue quality. It is just that one was Blue (Mythical), while the other was Blue (Ordinary).

Emrys was distracted for a few seconds before he focused on the huge shadow once again.

Previously, the shadow appeared to be a shadow completely, but now, a pair of huge eyes appeared that were staring at him. This pair of eyes were filled with endless blood-red light, as if they were real blood-red pupils. With just one look, Emrys could feel his heart trembling.

"What a terrifying pair of eyes!"

Emrys thought to himself. He didn’t know if it was just an illusion or if it was the truth, but he felt as if he had seen the shocked expression in this pair of huge red eyes.

Maybe, it was the truth. The shadow appeared to be shocked at the fact that Emrys’s body devoured all the deathly energy that was supposed to kill him.

The next instant, the shadow seemed to be angered more. Its eyes glowed with black light.

At that moment, Emrys felt as if the huge red eyes had become a pair of eyes of death, the real eyes of death, targeting not only his body but also his soul.

He was incredibly lucky that his soul had become ten times stronger than before. Moreover, there was holy light within his soul that instantly took care of the death gaze. As for his body, when the death gaze touched his body, it was again devoured by the Soul Mark.

Just like that, the quality of the second Soul Mark increased once again, reaching the Blue (Elite) level.

"I feel like I have become a natural adversary of this huge shadow somehow. Its attacks are not working on me at all."

Emrys was surprised but happy. No matter the reason, at the very least, he was safe and alive. It is good to be alive.

"Roar!"

As Emrys was looking at the huge shadow, he felt that the shadow said something, but due to water or another reason, its voice appeared to be a terrifying roar.

Endless waves of death energy started to roll around the shadow. The death energy was surging and terrifying.

Emrys watched as the waves of death energy rolled around the shadow. The energy was thick and powerful, creating an ominous and terrifying presence. The shadow’s eyes glowed even brighter with anger.

Emrys felt a chill run down his spine. He knew he had to be careful.

Suddenly, the shadow moved. It was incredibly fast, like a flash of dark lightning. Emrys barely had time to react before the shadow was upon him.

But instead of attacking him directly, the shadow seemed to surround him, wrapping him in its dark aura. Emrys felt the death energy pressing in on him from all sides. It was heavy and suffocating.

Despite the fear and pressure, Emrys noticed something strange. The death energy that should have been overwhelming him was once again beginning to be absorbed by his second Soul Mark, the Lord of the Cursed Abyss. The more the shadow pressed in, the more energy was devoured by his Soul Mark.

The quality of his second Soul Mark again started to increase.

Blue (Master).

Blue (Epic).

Blue (Legendary).

As the Soul Mark devoured more energy, Emrys felt stronger and more powerful. His fear started to fade, replaced by a growing sense of confidence.

The shadow seemed to realize that its attacks were not working. It pulled back slightly, its eyes still glowing with anger and confusion.

Emrys stood tall, feeling the last bit of death energy coursing through him that was devoured by his second Soul Mark.

"Just what are you?"

Suddenly, a heavy voice rang in the air around him.

Emrys was stunned and looked at the shadow. Obviously, this voice belonged to the shadow.

The shadow started transforming, taking the shape of an old man. But this old man did not appear to be a human. He was more than 2 meters tall, his head penetrating the water level. Dark patterns could be seen on his exposed skin. As for other parts of his body, it was shrouded in darkness.
