Walker Of The Blue Sky

58  Ch 58: Releasing The Demon

"Thud!"

Ka-cha~

With a resounding thud and a series of ominous cracks, Emrys channeled all his Soul Force into his blade, unleashing the Flying Blade Skill with ferocious intensity. The coffin's defenses shattered under the force of his strike, the lid splitting into two pieces.

The instant the coffin's lid was cut into two parts, it seemed to have lost all its sinister aura. The dark energy that had been swirling around the coffin dissipated into thin air. Inside, Emrys saw a woman lying still. Her long, red hair cascaded over her face, hiding her features from view. Despite this, the demonic aura around her was unmistakable. It radiated from her body like a dark mist, thick and oppressive, making the air around her feel heavy. Her presence exuded a palpable sense of danger and malevolence, the kind that made Emrys instinctively tense up.

And now, she was free.

Serafina slowly stood up. Even the way she stood up looked sinister in every way possible. Her every movement was accompanied by a creaking sound, as if the bones of her body were rubbing against each other.

Emrys tensed up and jumped to the other side of the Blood Coffin.

Bang!

In this instant, a clear sound of something shattering echoed from the Blood Coffin. Then, Emrys saw a horrifying slight. He saw a thick and sinister energy was beginning to expel out of Serafina's body. This energy quickly came together, and rushed to the sky, forming a gigantic sinister energy pillar. An endless baleful aura rose in the surroundings.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As if Serafina's release triggered a chain reaction, one after another, all the coffins started breaking open. Soul Demons emerged from these coffins, and soon pillars of baleful energy shot into the sky from their bodies, as if announcing their freedom to the world.

Emrys was stunned when he saw it. However, Malachi and others from the Darkborne Family seemed to have seen something forbidden. Their expression was that of utter despair.

"We are done for. We are doomed. She is now free, and a great disaster is awaiting all of us."

Yor exclaimed in despair. At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to leave this place as soon as possible.

Malachi was the same as Yor. Both of them looked at each other and immediately started running for their lives.

While running, Malachi did not forget to threaten Emrys, saying, "Brat, look at what you have done. You've destroyed a great cause of our Darkborne Family. You will surely regret this day. Be ready to be hunted down by the whole kingdom."

"Do whatever you want!"

Although Emrys was worried, he knew he could not do anything for now. So he ignored Malachi's threat and focused on Serafina and the evergrowing baleful energy pillar in the sky, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have caused some disturbance for the people out there. But when he thought that this is but a fragmented space and phenomena here would affect the outside world, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Where do you think you bastards are going?"

Suddenly, an eerie sound reverberated in the spacious chamber, and then, Emrys saw a black ray of light shooting out the pillar, directly piercing into the heart of Silver Soul Master from behind, taking his life immediately.

That was not the end. Seconds later, Emrys watched in horror as dark arrows formed from the baleful energy rained down upon the remaining Silver Soul Masters, each arrow claiming another life.

However, by now, a few Silver Soul Masters including Yor and Malachi had already entered the spacious tunnel and were running frantically for their lives. They were also hiding behind coffins from time to time to avoid being killed by the baleful arrows.

The pillar of baleful energy slowly started fading, leaving behind Serafina's demonic figure. The current Serafina was like an embodiment of the perfect Soul Demon. Her form was cloaked in dark ribbons, her eyes glowing with a malevolent red hue but her pupils were demonic black. On top of that, her red hair danced with a sinister allure. She exuded an aura of demonic power, as if her very presence was enough to strike fear into the hearts of all who looked at her.

Following her, all the baleful pillars disappeared. The released Soul Demons looked at Serafina and Emrys. An eerie aura exploded from their bodies and they were ready to attack Emrys, however, Serafina snorted coldly and a mountainous pressure descended in the surrounding space, affecting everyone including Emrys.

"Fuck off! He is mine!"

No Soul Demon dared to say anything after that. They lowered their heads and then dashed into the tunnel, chasing after those who managed to run away.

She looked at Emrys, causing a chill to run down his spine, and then said, "Let's say our goodbyes here. Don't chase after me or appear in front of me ever again, because I cannot guarantee that I won't kill you if you do. Leave this place as soon as possible, because I'm going to destroy it completely!"

With that, she disappeared. Emrys could see her figure darting into the tunnel at an incredible speed. She was so fast that he could not even follow her movement with naked eyes.

Recalling her last words, Emrys cursed in his heart and was ready to run as well, however, before he could do that, an ethereal green glow appeared that instantly removed all the baleful and sinister energy from the spacious chamber.

With a flash of light, Elysia Nightshade made her spectacular appearance in front of Emrys. The corner of her mouth curled up into a smile, though it seemed more like a mocking expression as she said, "Wanting to help your friend is one thing, but suggesting that you might be able to remove her demonic nature and revert her back into a Soul Master was perhaps the most foolish thing you could have ever said."

Emrys stopped and frowned. Not understanding what she meant, he asked, "What do you mean?"

Elysia said mysteriously, "You don't even have a 10% understanding of Soul Essence, and yet you were attempting to remove someone's demonic nature, hehe. Soul Essence isn't some purifying elixir that can erase all negative effects. It was effective in removing the demonic nature of that blade because it lacked a soul and hadn't fully succumbed to demonic influence. But if you had tried to use Soul Essence on that Soul Demon, her power would have surged instead."

"That's why knowledge is crucial when attempting something like this. Don't assume you can achieve a goal when you lack the necessary understanding and information."

Emrys could now understand what she was trying to say. His face turned red due to embarrassment. He did indeed think that Soul Essence could remove the Serafina's demonic nature. Alas, he was completely wrong.

However, one thing that attracted his attention was the fact that Soul Essence could have actually increased Serafina's strength.

What does that mean?

Can Soul Essence increase only a Soul Demon's strength or even a Soul Master's?

Although Emrys had no idea, he decided to gather information about Soul Essence after leaving this place. For now, he has to find Rohan and Cairo at least.

As for how to leave this fragmented space, Emrys already has an idea in mind.
