Anastasia was looking in front of her without blinking her eyes.
In front of her, a giant black throne was emitting a black aura which was giving a dreadful pressure.
It was the core of the shadow realm 'THE THRONE OF ABSOLUTE SHADOW!'
An energy flow was coming out from the throne, and was going outside from the shadow realm, disappearing into void afterwards.
It is been ten days since the energy flow started to come out from the throne, and the connection between the throne and the shadow monarch core started to form.
She was equally confused as Baphomet because of this strange situation.
She was not confused because of the connection, because she already knew this will happened sooner or later.
When she felt the usage of shadow energy some time ago, she already knew this will happen in the future.
The reason for her confusion was the fact that the connection was forming very slowly.
In the beginning, the connection was being formed at a rapid speed, and 50 percent of the connection was formed in just a minute.
But after reaching 50%, the connection suddenly stopped forming, and when it started again it was very slow.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAccording to what she knew, the connection with the monarch core should have formed in just a few minutes.
After forming the connection, the monarch core should have received the blessing of the shadow realm, and its level should have increased by leaps and bounds.
But nothing like this was happening.
Everything was different from what she had anticipated.
The connection was forming very slowly, and it was unknown what was the reason behind this.
And the worst thing was that she can't do anything about it.
She tried to move toward the throne. Even though her power was incomparable she still felt a heavy pressure when she moved toward the throne.
When she was just fifty meters away from the throne, the black aura around it became restless and a wave of shadow energy came out from it pushing away Anastasia.
Even using her full power she wasn't able to resist the pushing force, and was forced to move back.
The wave of shadow energy pushed her one hundred meters away from the throne, but didn't harm her.
Anastasia looked at the throne and a sigh escaped from her mouth.
"Even though I have partial authority over the shadow realm, I can't approach the throne and carefully examine the energy flow coming out from it" Anastasia muttered while looking at the throne.
Before the connection started to form she could have easily approached the throne, but since the moment the connection started to form, she can't get close to it.
She wasn't sure but she can guess it was a protection mechanism so that no one can interfere with the process of the connection.
"Well, since I can't do anything about it, let's just wait and see what will happen once the connection reaches at 100%. It is already at 75% percent and should be completed soon" Anastasia said and went towards a small throne which was some distance away from the original shadow throne.
When she sat down on the throne and closed her eyes, she was able to sense everything related to the shadow realm.
"The seal won't last long huh" After a moment of examination she said and opened her eyes.
She was already aware that some people is trying to break the seal.
She can even monitor the situation outside, and already saw they were demons who were trying to break the seal.
It is been a very long time since she last left the shadow realm so she wasn't aware about the current condition of the outside world.
She also noticed Malphasar who was the leader of the demons who were breaking the seal.
But she wasn't worried about the fact that the seal will be broken soon.
As long as it is not someone with a monarch core who came inside, she will be able to deal with him.
Even the Malphasar was nothing in her eyes.
She can feel he is powerful!
Yes powerful, but he is not a threat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInside the shadow realm where she has partial control over it, and can even use shadow energy to some extent, she was confident that even five demons at the Malphasar level won't be able to fight against her.
"Even though I can deal with them it will be troublesome if a large number of demons enter inside, since I won't be able to stop everyone alone" Anastasia muttered while rubbing her chin.
"Should I use the thing that master gave me if a large number of demons enter inside"
Anastasia closed her eyes once again, and through the throne, she focused on the ground all around the large black castle in which she was sitting.
Her senses penetrated the ground, and she was able to see the view of the underground.
Her senses moved tens of kilometres deep into the underground, and soon the image of a large open area which was located deep within the underground came into her view.
The open area was hundreds of kilometres wide, and thousands of strange black ball size of an adult humans were floating there.
The balls were pitch black and what was inside them was unknown.
Anastasia's spiritual sense passed over all the black balls like she was trying to find something.
After a minute her spiritual sense stopped on one specific black ball.
This black ball was similar to other black balls in the area, and there was nothing different about it.
But when Anastasia's spiritual sense stopped on it, a crooked smile appeared on her face.
"That bastard Valtair is in slumber inside it. Should I use the item that master gave me, and throw him before those demons. With his power, it won't be difficult for him to deal with those demons. It will be even better if he kills all those demons, and gets himself destroyed as well since I don't like how he always tries to act clingy with master" Anastasia spoke some strange but dangerous words while looking at the black ball with hostile eyes.
Like feeling her hostile gaze the black ball even shook a little.
When Anastasia saw the black ball was shaking her crooked smile became even wider, "don't worry even if you get destroyed it is not like you will die"
"After all, you are already dead!"
