Walker Of The Blue Sky Chapter 48: Ch 48: The Shadowy Figure

Emrys felt heartbroken reading the words inscribed on top of the small boulder. Those words seed to have a type of power, as if there was a hoarse voice narrating a story, stirring Emrys's emotions.

Emrys sighed after looking at the skeleton.

The information given by the skeleton has many important points.

First of all, this monstrous skeleton was originally a human. He mutated to save the Great Fla Kingdom from a disaster, but he was betrayed by the Royal Family, who were supposed to clear his na and record his deeds in the Book of Heroes.

Second, the Royal Family is not a benevolent force. Although they rule the Great Fla Kingdom and are supposed to ensure the safety and security of the people, they exploit their power for personal gain, neglecting the welfare of their subjects.

Finally, the Royal Family and the Darkborne Family appear to be allies. While they seem to be enemies on the surface, in reality, they are secretly working together.

Who can imagine the ruling force of the Great Fla Kingdom and the family of hidden villains to be allies?

It was indeed out of Emrys's expectations.

"However, I am not powerful enough to interfere in this matter. Not to ntion, there is no need for to do sothing stupid like exposing the friendship between the Royal Family and the Darkborne Family. These two forces are deeply rooted. If I poke their nose, they'll definitely try to cut my neck at all costs. It is better to stay away from them. I should stay safe and grow."

Emrys muttered in a low voice. Then he shifted his attention to the red skeleton and said, "Nonetheless, if they co after , I'll definitely do my best to get rid of them. I don't know who you are, but I promise, if I am capable one day, I'll try taking revenge for you."

He did not promise, he only said if he is capable one day, he'll try taking revenge for the skeleton.

The red skeleton wrote his story, but he did not ntion his na anywhere. It was clear that he also expected this result. He expected that no one would help him take revenge.

"The Corpse Pyramid, huh?"

Emrys muttered and straightened his back, walking towards the pyramid's entrance, completely ignoring the warning given by the red skeleton.

Just as he reached the entrance, a black ray flashed from both sides of the entrance. Then a shadowy figure manifested, saying, "Bastard from the Darkborne Family, you are here to disturb again!"

The shadowy figure stared fixedly at Emrys, making him feel rather uneasy.

"Who are you?" Emrys tried to calm down and asked.

The shadowy figure suddenly appeared very close to Emrys, floating in the air with its face inches away from Emrys's. After a while, a hoarse voice sounded directly inside Emrys's mind, "Hmm... You are not one of them. Who are you? I don't think those bastards are kind enough to let an outsider inside. You must have sneaked in. How did you do it?"

The shadowy figure showed interest in Emrys.

Or, rather than saying he was interested in Emrys, he was more likely interested in knowing how Emrys arrived here when he is not soone from the Darkborne Family.

Emrys did not say anything. He looked directly into the shadowy figure's eyes which were glowing with purple radiance. He showed no intention of answering the shadowy figure's question.

Yes, he was startled at first; however, he soon figured out that the shadowy figure posed no threat to him. It was very weak. Maybe it was only a remnant soul of soone powerful in the past. That's why, although it didn't have strength, it still retained the dominance and aura of its forr self.

"Who are you?" Emrys repeated his question.

The shadowy figure remained silent for a few seconds. Then it retreated a few deciters, raised its head high to look at the dark sky, and said, "I used to be the owner of this fragnted space."

Fragnted space?

Emrys frowned but refrained from interrupting the shadowy figure. The shadowy figure continued, "I obtained the seed of this fragnted space inside a pocket dinsion when I was still alive. All I had to do was refine the seed and then plant it anywhere, resulting in the appearance of a small pocket dinsion. However, I was backstabbed by my friend not long after I obtained the fragnted space seed. He killed but did not destroy my soul completely because I had already refined the seed by that ti. If I died, the seed would also die. That's why he retained a small part of my soul and sealed here. Later, I was shocked to find that he was actually from the Darkborne Family. No wonder that bastard betrayed . As the true owner of the seed, I saw everything that a friend of mine did. He planted the seed, and a fragnted space was born."

The shadowy figure stopped for a few seconds. Then he disappeared, reappearing so distance away to the right, saying, "It was not a pocket dinsion, but a fragnted space. I think this happened mostly because only a small fragnt of my soul was left. Most of my soul has already disappeared."

The shadowy figure flashed in front of Emrys once again. Suddenly, fire blazed in its pair of eyes. It said furiously, "Those bastards. They are misusing my treasure. They are planning sothing very dark. I don't know when this Corpse Pyramid was built. When this fragnted space was born, the Darkborne Family shifted the Corpse Pyramid here. They also started using this space as the training ground for the Ghost Reapers."

Ghost Reapers?

Emrys heard this phrase for the first ti. He thought that it might be sothing important, but ignored it for the ti being. The most important thing right now is to figure out more about the Corpse Pyramid.

One thing, however, surprised Emrys. He finally understood how a strange forest suddenly appeared inside the abandoned mansion. It is because the Darkborne Family used a Dinsion Seed.

Nevertheless, there was still a question that needed him to investigate more.

Why did the Darkborne Family choose the abandoned mansion?

Why did they act only after the Gracia Family bought the abandoned mansion and sent people to live there?

Where did those people of the Gracia Family disappear? Is their disappearance related to the Darkborne Family?
