947 A Fated Meeting (Part 4)
It didn't take long for Baphomet and Eldrakar to reach the pillar of light and both of them landed a few meters away from it.
Upon coming closer to the pillar of half-golden and half-black light, they noticed the pillar was emerging from a round-shaped altar approximately two hundred meters in diameter.
The entire altar was covered by the pillar of light, so they couldn't see it clearly, but the outer edges of the altar were engraved with ancient-looking runes that were clearly visible to them.
"The runes engraved on this altar are very high level," Eldrakar said in a low voice as he examined the outer edges of the altar, filled with tens of different kinds of runes.
Baphomet didn't respond to Eldrakar as his knowledge about runes was practically zero. Instead of focusing on the altar, he was looking at the pillar of light that stretched thousands of meters high.
He tried to see the end of the pillar but saw it disappearing into the sky with no visible end.
"Can you feel it?" Eldrakar suddenly asked with a frown on his face. "There are two different types of energy coming out of this pillar of light."
Baphomet raised an eyebrow upon hearing Eldrakar and used his spiritual senses to scan the area around the light pillar.
After scanning the pillar for a few seconds, he stopped using his spiritual senses and nodded his head.
"You are right, there are two different kinds of energies. One is coming from the black part and the other from the golden part of the pillar."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce Baphomet confirmed his speculation, Eldrakar continued to use his spiritual senses to understand the two energies emanating from the pillar.
Before entering the pillar of light, Eldrakar and Baphomet wanted to comprehend everything about it, as the pillar in front of them was very unusual.
Just by sensing the Eldritch Energy that filled the area, they could tell it was the work of a high-level creature and if they carelessly entered the pillar, they might encounter unexpected danger.
Eldrakar continued to scan the energies coming out of the pillar and after a few minutes, he spoke with an uncertain look on his face.
"The energy coming out of the black part feels like a sealing energy and as for the golden part..."
"It feels like an energy of destruction," Baphomet finished Eldrakar's sentence while looking at the golden part.
Eldrakar was surprised when he heard Baphomet as he did not expect him to realize the nature of energy without even using his spiritual senses, but when he remembered the demon in front of him possessed 'Eyes Of Destruction', the surprise on his face disappeared and he nodded his head.
"What do you think is inside this pillar?" Baphomet suddenly asked with a curious look.
"If you want to know, then just go inside and take a look," Eldrakar said in a plain voice and walked towards the pillar.
Baphomet also walked along with him, and soon both of them stopped just a meter away from the pillar.
"Although we are not using the full power of our spiritual senses because of the restrictions of the Tomb, I doubt that even by using the full power of our spiritual senses we can see what is inside it," Baphomet muttered after stopping in front of the pillar as he felt the strong sealing force and the force of destruction coming from it.
Eldrakar nodded in agreement because he could also feel that the pillar of light was special and it wouldn't be easy to see inside it just by using their spiritual senses.
Eldrakar was looking at the pillar with his eyes glowing in purple when he suddenly noticed something and a shocked look appeared on his face.
"This—"
Baphomet noticed the sudden change in Eldrakar's expression and raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong?" He asked with a frown on his face.
Eldrakar took a deep breath upon hearing Baphomet and said in a voice filled with shock.
"I just tried to look at the void space to see if my spiritual senses could enter the pillar of light through it, but upon looking at it, I saw that even the void space in this area is covered by the pillar of half-golden and half-black light."
Baphomet was also shocked when he heard Eldrakar and his eyes opened wide.
"Even the void space is covered by the pillar of light..." He muttered in a dazed voice and looked at the pillar with an uncertain look on his face.
For the next few hours, Eldrakar tried to find a gap in the void space to see if he could look inside the pillar through it.
Baphomet didn't disturb him and just stood aside, allowing Eldrakar to search in peace.
Unfortunately, even after more than twenty hours of searching, Eldrakar wasn't able to find anything.
Once he realized he couldn't find anything in the void space, Eldrakar stopped searching and looked at the pillar with narrowed eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, he took a step forward and touched the black part of the pillar. The moment Eldrakar touched the black part of the pillar of light, a strong sealing force invaded his body and all of his powers were instantly sealed.
"What the—"
Feeling the sealing force invading his body, Eldrakar quickly pulled back his hand.
Baphomet noticed how Eldrakar's aura suddenly dropped to the very bottom and his mouth hung open, not believing that a Rank Six Core Evolver like him turned into a normal person just because of touching the pillar.
Even after pulling back his hand, the sealing force that had entered Eldrakar's body didn't disappear.
Feeling the sealing force flowing within his body, Eldrakar frowned and focused on his Dragon Core, trying to force out the sealing power using his Void Energy.
It took Eldrakar five minutes, but he successfully forced out the sealing energy from his body.
"What just happened?" Baphomet asked with a serious look on his face once Eldrakar's aura returned to normal.
Hearing Baphomet, Eldrakar told him everything that had happened. After listening to Eldrakar, the demon looked towards the golden part of the pillar.
"Do you think there would be a similar effect if we touch the golden part?" He asked with narrowed eyes.
Eldrakar didn't say anything upon hearing Baphomet, but from the serious look on his face, it could be seen that he realized entering the pillar of light would be a lot harder than he thought.
Just as Eldrakar and Baphomet were thinking about their next move, they felt the presence of two people approaching the pillar of light.
