59 Ch 59: Escaping
Emrys hurriedly left the Corpse Pyramid and sought out the shadowy figure. Upon finding him, he urgently requested, "Expel everyone who is not a Darkborne from this fragnted space."
The shadowy figure, who is also the true owner of this fragnted space, had been forcefully kept and manipulated by the Darkborne Family to exploit this space. As the true owner, he had the power to control who could enter, remain, or be expelled from the fragnted space.
Emrys's plan was very straightforward. Since finding the exit in a short period of ti seed impossible, he decided to ask the controller to send him and the others away. It was a pragmatic way to ensure his and others' safety.
The shadowy figure did not disappoint him. It first expelled everyone who was not a Darkborne from the fragnted space forcefully, leaving only the Darkborne mbers and the Soul Demons inside.
A portal appeared in front of Emrys as well, clearly the way out of the fragnted space. As long as he entered the portal, he would be safely out of there.
However, Emrys did not leave imdiately. Instead, he looked at the shadowy figure and said, "Let's escape together. This space will soon be destroyed by the Soul Demons. If we don't escape now, we will die as well."
The shadowy figure, who had been bound and manipulated by the Darkborne Family for so long, seed to hesitate. Emrys's offer of freedom and escape was a tempting one, however, there was an issue that could not be solved by escaping.
Shaking its head, the shadowy figure said, "I can't leave."
"Why?" Emrys frowned.
The shadowy figure's response was laced with sorrow and resignation. "Because I no longer have a physical body. I refined this fragnted space while I was still alive. The Darkborne Family left with only a tiny fragnt of my soul to make it easier to control both and this space. I can maintain my form within this fragnted space, but if I leave it, my soul will dissipate imdiately, and I will die."
Emrys felt a pang of sympathy for the shadowy figure. It was clear that the figure's existence was a tragic one, bound to a fragnted space and manipulated by a malevolent family. Despite the urgency of the situation, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret for the shadowy figure's fate.
"I'm sorry to hear that," Emrys said sincerely. "You've suffered a lot. Thank you for helping and the others."
The shadowy figure gave a faint, almost imperceptible nod. "Just go. Save yourself. And if you can, bring an end to the Darkborne Family's evil deeds. As for , as long as this space is not completely destroyed, I will continue living."
With that, Emrys took a deep breath and stepped through the portal, leaving the fragnted space behind. As he entered the portal, he felt a mix of relief and sadness, knowing that he was escaping with others but also leaving behind a tornted soul. Most importantly, the change in Serafina gave him a huge shock as well.
As for the fragnted space, it was once a place of confinent and control, but now, it was left to the chaos and destruction that will soon be brought here by the Soul Demons.
.....
"Emrys!"
Emrys was the last one to erge from the fragnted space. As soon as he stepped out, he was greeted by Rohan, Cairo, and even Riley. Later, Emrys learned that Riley had been trying to find the exit but was unsuccessful. He was able to leave only when a portal had appeared before him eventually. The sa was true for the others as well.
Rohan and Cairo were waiting for him. They had no idea whether Emrys was still alive or not, however, they had hope in their hearts.
"Have you found anything?" Rohan asked, showing so hesitation and worry.
Emrys sighed. He looked at Rohan who was more worried about whether he found so clue inside or not than his wellbeing.
Nodding his head, Emrys said, "I found Serafina inside."
"What? You found her? Where is she then? How is she? Why has she not co out with you then?"
Maybe, telling them a few truths might be good for the public and bad for the Darkborne Family. Moreover, he obtained many pieces of important information this ti. If he wanted to deal with everything alone, then it was a foolish dream. After all, he lacks the most necessary thing to do everything on his own; that is strength.

Rohan was alard and agitated. He could not help but question Emrys continuously. She was his first crush, an unachievable love that was destined to remain one-sided, mainly now that Serafina is a Soul Demon.
Emrys shook his head, saying, "You don't have to worry about her. She is safe and free."
"Safe and free? What do you an?"
Not only Rohan but even Cairo and Riley were confused.
Emrys did not know whether it was a good idea to tell them the truth or not. Then he thought about Riley who wanted to notify the Federation about the strangeness of the abandoned mansion, as well as the fact that everything is a plot carefully planned by the Darkborne Family.
There is also Cairo who is a low-leveled mber of the Federation.
Maybe, telling them a few truths might be good for the public and bad for the Darkborne Family. Moreover, he obtained many pieces of important information this ti. If he wanted to deal with everything alone, then it was a foolish dream. After all, he lacks the most necessary thing to do everything on his own; that is strength.
A re Silver Soul Master like him is nothing more than a weakling who could be killed anyti by a slightly stronger opponent.
Considering all these aspects, Emrys breathed heavily and said, "Actually, I discovered sothing very important."
Just like that, Emrys successfully attracted the attention of the three people in front of him.
Letting them feel curious for a few seconds, he put up a serious expression on his face and said, "I discovered the actual plan of the Darkborne Family."
Riley and Cairo were aggrieved, their hearts stirred. Riley asked, "Tell us, Emrys. What exactly are they planning?"
Emrys nodded and finally said, "I think the higher-ups of the Darkborne Family are cultivating dark-type Soul Cultivation Techniques. I saw them making several Soul Demons with my own eyes. They are kidnapping people and forcefully turning them into Soul Demons."
Finally, he looked at Rohan and said, "Serafina is now one of them as well, a powerful Soul Demon. I think you should abandon if you have any idea of her."
