Inside the inferno dungeon, Adam looked around while still maintaining his hand walking position.
The sky of the dungeon was deep red in colour. Scarlet clouds that were looking like they were filled with magma were moving slowly, and some strange small bird like monsters were circling around the scarlet clouds. The ground of the dungeon was cracked and scorched black. From time to time, scarlet steam of smoke was coming out from the cracks in the ground. The temperature inside the dungeon was around one hundred degrees Celsius.
Because of being an A ranker, Adam wasn’t bothered by the temperature of the place. He created a gravitational field around him to resolve the issue of high temperature steam that was coming out from the ground.
After assessing his surroundings, Adam was a little confused because this floor was just five or six kilometres wide and other than some magma filled clouds and small birds like monsters that were releasing the aura of C+ rank, there was nothing else on this dungeon floor.
‘Although I can’t sense anything strange, the ominous feeling I was feeling earlier is getting stronger’ Adam thought to himself as he moved forward.
“What a peculiar sight…” Adam just moved two or three meters forward, when a heavy voice resounded throughout the dungeon floor.
Rumble!
Fooo! Fooo! Fooo! – – –
The entire floor of the dungeon started to shake just as the voice resounded and the scarlet steam of smoke that was coming out from the scorched floor filled the area.
Because of the intense shaking of the floor, Adam lost his balance and dropped face first to the ground. At the same time, his entire body start to shake and a strange kind of pressure that Adam never felt before descended upon his very existence.
Adam shakily turned his head to his right side, only to see two deep red eyes looking at him from the veil of steam that came out from the ground.
When Adam looked into those two eyes, he felt like something inside him started to crack.
Crack!
“Arghh” a painful scream rang out throughout the dungeon floor and for the first time after becoming a shadow undead, Adam felt pain. The pain he was feeling was so high that he wanted to pass out immediately so that he wouldn’t have to feel this pain.
But because he was a shadow undead, losing consciousness was impossible for him.
Crack!
Something within Adam was slowly breaking apart and with each passing second, the pain he was feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
Adam started to roll on the ground because of pain and at the same time, he felt he was about to die. And from the death, he meant a true death.
He felt like if he died here, even his master wouldn’t be able to summon him back.
“I didn’t expect a mere ant like you to survive so long..” the heavy voice that resounded earlier once again reached Adam’s ear, but he couldn’t care less about it because he was currently trying to ease the pain he was feeling.
“But I think this is the end for you…” the voice once again sounded and
Crack!
“Arghh” Adam screamed out loud and his black body started to crack.
Slowly but surely, the size of his body started to decrease like he was disappearing from the exitance.
After one minute, only Adam’s head was left and the rest of his body completely disappeared.
“You are quite strange, you should have disappeared from existence the moment you tried to look at me, but you are still struggling huh…” the voice resounded once again and this time it was filled with genuine curiosity.
The two red eyes that were inside the scarlet steam gazed at Adam’s head for a few seconds before losing interest. “Well, whatever, it is not like you are going to survive anyway.”
At this moment, Adam’s head was also about to disappear, but before it could completely disappear, a small amount of shadow energy appeared inside Adam’s head.
This was the shadow energy that seeped inside Adam when he was turned into a shadow undead by Evan.
Just as the shadow energy appeared inside his head, the pain Adam was feeling started to decrease and his body that disappeared earlier once again started to regenerate.
The two red eyes that were looking at Adam from the scarlet steam widened and a look of disbelief flashed inside them.
“How is this possible?” the heavy voice once again resounded and this time it was filled with shock.
A hand that was completely red in colour shot out from the scarlet steam and grabbed Adam’s head.
The red hand brought Adam’s head near the two eyes that were inside the scarlet steam.
A mental wave of energy erupted from the red eyes and scanned Adam’s head which was slowly regenerating.
Using the mental energy, soon it was able to notice the shadow energy that was inside Adam’s head.
“Impossible” Seeing the shadow energy inside Adam’s head, the person shouted in a voice full of disbelief.
“Why is there such a strange conceptual energy inside him? And how can conceptual energy exist in such a low-level world.” the person spoke in a shaky voice.
Red miasm came out from the hand that was holding Adam’s head and
Puff!
Adam’s head completely disappeared, leaving behind a small amount of shadow energy and a black orb.
The black orb was obviously Adam’s soul.
Bzzz!
The shadow energy that was beside the soul orb of Adam started to shake and envelop it. Space fluctuations appeared near the soul orb that was enveloped by shadow energy like it wanted to return somewhere, but before it could return, deep red miasm engulfed the entire soul orb stopping it from escaping.
“Conceptual energy of death…” the person spoke once again after stopping the soul orb, but his voice sounded uncertain.
“I can feel three kinds of conceptual energies from this, but other than the conceptual energy of death, I can not recognize anything else..” the voice spoke in a serious voice and the red eyes inside the steam blazed.
“My knowledge is limited because of coming to this lower level world, if I want to know what is this energy, I will need to go back from this world.”
Buzzz!
Just as the person finished speaking, the soul orb that was trapped inside the miasma started to shake.
The two red eyes inside the scarlet steam narrowed and the miasma that was trapping the soul orb started to seep inside it.
Bang!
But suddenly, a large amount of shadow energy erupted from the soul orb, blowing away the miasma and before it could gather around it once again, the soul orb of Adam disappeared.
