Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1138  Pawns

"Father," seeing the Illusionary figure that emerged from the monument, Emperor Velgoth bowed deeply.

The Illusionary figure opened his eyes upon hearing Emperor Velgoth and looked at him without saying anything. After a minute of silence, the figure sighed and asked.

"Has he finally appeared?"

Emperor Velgoth was surprised when he heard Votharion's words, but still nodded his head.

Seeing Velgoth nodding, Votharion sighed once again.

"Did you contact them?" He asked in a serious voice.

Emperor Velgoth shook his head when he heard Votharion's question and stretched out his palm, condensing Evan's image in midair.

"Before contacting them, I want to make sure I am not mistaken, which is why I came to find you."

Votharion looked at the image that Emperor Velgoth condensed, and upon seeing it, although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"It's really him," He said in a low voice, then asked seriously,

"Tell me everything that happened."

Emperor Velgoth dispersed Evan's image and recounted everything that had happened since Evan arrived in Azragoth World.

When Emperor Velgoth mentioned the black monsters, a look of fear flashed in Votharion's eyes as if he remembered something terrible, and his body shuddered.

Emperor Velgoth noticed the change in his expression but said nothing and continued. When he finished telling everything, Votharion took a deep breath and nodded.

"It's good that you didn't kill or interrupt him during his breakthrough. We still don't know if they want him alive or dead. If something unexpected had happened to him, those guys wouldn't have let you off."

Emperor Velgoth clenched his fists when he heard Votharion's words, but in the end, he sighed and a helpless look flashed in his eyes. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"What should I do next?" He asked after a moment of silence.

"It's already been hundreds of thousands of years since we were exiled in the Chaotic Zone to wait for that guy to appear. Now that he has finally appeared, we should inform them, but..." Votharion paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"But I don't know if they still remember us. If they have forgotten about us, everything will be in vain."

Emperor Velgoth frowned when he heard this and asked in a low voice.

"This shouldn't be the case, right? We still have the altar that can ignore the interference of the Chaotic Zone, so it shouldn't be difficult to contact them."

Votharion remained silent upon hearing Velgoth, and a look of hesitation crossed his face.

Seeing the hesitation, Velgoth's heart sank, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.

Seeing Velgoth's ugly expression, Votharion sighed, looked at the stone monument and spoke in a low voice.

"You know that once the lifespan of any member of our royal family comes to an end, they seal their soul in the soul monument, right?"

Emperor Velgoth nodded his head upon hearing this as he was already aware of this.

Seeing Velgoth nod, Votharion continued,

"Although it's true that we can seal our souls in the soul memento and live even after our lifespan runs out, this memento isn't as miraculous as it seems..." He said and paused briefly.

"When I sealed my soul in the memento, I found that it can only sustain one soul at a time. You understand what that means, don't you?"

Emperor Velgoth's pupils shrank when he heard Votharion's words, and a shocked look appeared on his face.

"Since it can sustain only one soul at a time and you are here, does that mean Grandfather and the others..." Emperor Velgoth didn't finish his sentence, but Votharion knew what he wanted to ask, so he nodded.

"Yes, when I sealed my soul in it, only your grandfather's soul was inside, and it disappeared the moment I was sealed."

Emperor Velgoth sucked in a cold breath when he heard this, but Votharion wasn't finished.

"When Father's soul disappeared, I had inherited all of his memories, including those of our predecessors who sealed themselves in the soul memento before me. In one of those memories, I saw that thousands of years ago, your great-grandfather tried to contact them during a crisis caused by the Eldritch Horrors, but no one from their side responded."

Emperor Velgoth's mind went blank for a moment when he heard this, and he began breathing heavily.

"If they... If they don't even respond to us, then why were we exiled to the Chaotic Zone in the first place?" He asked through gritted teeth.

Votharion gave a self-mocking smile when he heard Velgoth and spoke in a bitter tone.

"In the eyes of those people, we are just pawns to be discarded at any time. Do you think they care about what happens to us?"

Crack!

Emperor Velgoth clenched his fists so hard they made a cracking sound, and a look of hatred flashed in his eyes.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a moment, when he opened his eyes, his expression was completely indifferent, and he nodded at Votharion.

"I know what I have to do now," He said and turned to leave.

When Votharion saw Velgoth's expression, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he muttered in a low voice,

"At least you are not as foolish as I was, wasting my entire life doing nothing."

Emperor Velgoth paused when he heard Votharion but soon continued walking, leaving the room.

As Emperor Velgoth left, the Soul Memento flashed, and Votharion's Illusionary body sank back inside it.

Outside the hidden room, Emperor Velgoth stood with an indifferent look on his face, his eyes flashing with conflicting emotions.

After standing there for more than a minute, he took a deep breath and walked away.

As he moved, he glanced at the World Passage, which was glowing on the altar but didn't stop and soon disappeared.

In another room, where the second altar was located, Velgoth reappeared and looked at it with an indifferent look on his face.

Without a word, he poured his world essence into the altar, and it began to glow madly.
