Alexander's soul awoke from hibernation, still looking indifferent to anything, he sat on his chair quietly, "Did anything important happen while I was away?..." He raised his eyebrows as he looked at our faces, "And what happened to our appearance?..."
We looked at each other, and then we looked at Alexander
I told Alexander what happened, beginning with the test, and ending with the dark world
Alexander seemed unconcerned about the test, but when I told him about the dark world, his expression turned wild.
This was the first time I saw that expression on his face, there was fear and worry on his face
I'm sure he knows something. "Tell us what you know, Alexander...."
The three of us focused on Alexander and waited for him to speak
Alexander remained silent, with a complicated look on his face, "I am also not sure what that world is, but the orb once transported me to that world, and I can tell that world is where the orb and shadow came from… "
We looked at Alexander in disbelief
That world is where the orb came from? and even the shadow came from that place?
I still remember the goosebumps that ran through my body when I saw that place, is it because that place reminded me of the shadow?
We all fell silent, looking at each other
I was the first to speak, "Then why did the orb teleport me to that world?…."
Alexander shook his head, "I don't know, the orb teleported me to that world automatically when I gave it Vitae Energy once, I'm not sure why it teleported me…"
Thomas cast a deep look at Alexander. "So, did you notice something strange when you saw the dark world?…."
Alexander rested his back on the chair as he closed his eyes, "Giant black towers, black ground of unknown matter, sky covered with gray clouds…and…."
We all looked intently at Alexander
I told them of the things I had seen in the dark world, but Alexander seemed to have noticed something else
Alexander opened his eyes with a look of fear on his face. "I had a strange feeling, similar to the feeling I get when facing the shadow…."
We held our breath when we heard his words
I screamed in fear, "Are you saying that there is an entity similar to a shadow in the dark world? but I couldn't sense anything as if I was the only living being in that world…"
"That's right..." Alexander confirmed, "There may not be any living being in that world, but there is a possibility that there is a powerful entity living there that resembles the shadow in terms of its nature and strength. The shadow is not a living entity, it is just a distortion of reality through space-time. And it might not be just one entity..."
Thomas placed his hands on the table as he thought deeply, "Then there is a possibility that there are more than one entities living in the dark world, and they are all as powerful as the shadow…."
"Right…" Alexander confirmed Thomas' words
Thomas looked at me in fear. "Doesn't that mean that it is possible that one of those entities entered Elia's body when Daniel was in that world?..."
Thomas, Kepler, and Alexander looked at me warily
"Daniel, did you feel something strange inside your body when you were in the dark world?" Kepler spoke worriedly.
I became worried too, "No, I didn't feel anything, nothing can enter my body without me noticing..." I tried to deny it with all my might.
The thought of a powerful entity hiding inside my body was scary, what would happen if that entity decided to kill me?
"No, it can…." But Alexander shattered all my hopes, "An entity this powerful can do things we can't even imagine, but the thing we should worry about right now is its target…"
It was Kepler who first suggested " We can use the orb to purify this body...."
"No, I don't know a way to purify this body, do you guys know a way to do it?…." Alexander looked at us, and when he saw that we were silent, he smiled sarcastically, "You don't know, as expected…."
Kepler became embarrassed that his proposal had been rejected in this way
Thomas placed a hand on his chin, "The shadow is an entity whose goal was to kill everyone who was not worthy of using the orb, could it be that the entity that might be within this body had a similar goal?…"
Silence descended on the place, all we were discussing are just possibilities, but these possibilities may occur on the ground, so it was necessary to take measures before the disaster occurred.
"Now…" Alexander spoke to get our attention, "Actually there is something important I discovered during the duel…."
Thomas became worried, "There are more problems? What is there now...."
Alexander smiled and his tone was excited, "I discovered that there is a core formed inside this body, it is a core of Vitae...."
"What! ..." Kepler and Thomas exclaimed in shock
I was the only one who didn't know what they were talking about "What are you guys talking about?..."
Kepler explained, "All living beings absorb energy and store it in their bodies, as it circulates in the parts of the body through special veins, just as blood circulates in the veins, but the race of beasts is a different race from the rest of the races, it has a part inside the body called the core, the beasts uses it to store aura energy, so the beast race is able to store more auras…"
I looked at Alexander, "So you're saying that this body has a Vitae-energy core....."
"That's right!…." Alexander was excited, "Just imagine how much Vitae we can collect…."
I cast a questioning glance at Alexander, "How did this core form? It wasn't in Elia's body before, right?..."
Alexander regained his composure, "No, this core wasn't in Elia's body, but I think it has something to do with the injection we used on this body..."
"the Adam! ....." I said the first word I thought of
The three of them were surprised when they heard this word
