Chapter 1116 Void Territory (Part 3)
Nythor felt an uneasy sensation growing deep within his heart, but he couldn't pinpoint the source of this discomfort.
"Is it because of him?" He muttered quietly as he stared at the water bubble in front of him, which was now pitch black as if it had been cast into an endless void.
He took a few deep breaths to suppress the uneasiness gnawing at him and glanced at Utharic from the corner of his eye and upon seeing the black staff in Utharic's hand, his expression relaxed slightly.
"Even if something is wrong, as long as we use this, it won't be difficult to kill him..." Nythor reassured himself before waking Utharic, who was sitting with his eyes closed.
Utharic frowned when Nythor suddenly disturbed him, but after noticing the pitch-black bubble in front of him, which was no longer showing Evan's movements, he narrowed his eyes.
"He must have somehow discovered that we are coming for him and might be planning to run away," Utharic said in a cold voice, though he wasn't particularly worried about Evan fleeing as they had already prepared for such a possibility.
"Have you sealed the area already?" Nythor asked upon hearing Utharic's suspicion.
"Why do you think I was sitting with my eyes closed? You didn't really think I was sleeping, did you?" Utharic retorted.
"Do you need to keep your eyes closed to use that thing?" Nythor asked in a surprised tone, eyeing the black staff in Utharic's hands. He had only heard a few things about the Racial Weapon and had never used it himself, so he wasn't familiar with its functions.
"Not exactly," Utharic replied calmly as he continued to gaze at the dark bubble in front of him. "But all of this thing's functions require a vast amount of energy, and if you focus all your attention on it, you can reduce the energy consumption to some extent. Using the World Blessing as a medium, I have already sealed the entire area where that invader is staying. Even if he breaks through to Rank Three, he won't be able to escape from there."
"I see..." Nythor nodded with a look of understanding on his face and asked in a low voice.
"So, how do you plan to deal with him? Do you intend to use the Racial Weapon directly, or do you want to kill him without it?"
"Why do you think we brought over a million soldiers with us?" Utharic rolled his bull-like eyes at Nythor's question. "Although we can kill him directly by using the Racial Weapon's killing function, I want to avoid that if possible. Once it's used, the Racial Weapon will enter a cooldown state, and we won't be able to use it for the next ten years."
"Ten years isn't a long time. If you ask me, I think we should use the killing function right away. I don't know why, but that invader is giving me a very uneasy feeling," Nythor replied in a concerned voice.
Utharic didn't mock or dismiss Nythor's suggestion as he knew there must be a reason for Nythor's anxiety, but after a moment of thought, he still shook his head.
"Let's first try to kill him by normal means. If that doesn't work, we can always resort to the Racial Weapon. At worst, we'll lose some soldiers, but it's better than putting the Racial Weapon into a cooldown state."
"Why are you so reluctant to put the Racial Weapon into a cooldown state?" Nythor asked in a puzzled voice. For beings like them, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, ten years was not a long time.
Utharic was about to answer Nythor's question when suddenly, Nythor thought of something and his eyes narrowed.
"Is it because of the World Passage?"
Utharic nodded upon hearing Nythor and spoke in a low voice.

"The killing function of the Racial Weapon can directly eliminate even a Peak Rank Five Core Evolver. If something goes wrong with the World Passage, it will be our trump card. So if possible, I'd rather not use it to deal with just a mere Rank Two Core Evolver."
Nythor didn't say anything in response after hearing Utharic and simply nodded his head.
Around five minutes later, the endless forest, filled with tall grey-colored trees finally came into their view. However, upon seeing the forest where Evan was staying, Nythor and Utharic's eyes contracted to the size of needles.
"What is that?" Utharic muttered in a deep voice as he gazed at the centre of the forest, where a black-purple-coloured energy bubble, nearly two hundred meters high and around one hundred kilometres in diameter, stood.
The black-purple energy bubble was situated in the middle of the forest, and within it, thousands of white dots twinkled like stars as if a world of its own existed inside the bubble.
Although the bubble appeared transparent, it was shrouded in black mist from within, and even though Utharic and Nythor were Rank Four Core Evolvers, they couldn't see what was inside.
A serious expression appeared on both Nythor and Utharic's faces as they observed the strange bubble that covered nearly one hundred kilometers of the forest and before the airship could reach it, both of them left and flew toward it on their own.
As Nythor entered the forest's territory, he felt as if he had passed through a layer of space invisible to the naked eye, but his expression remained unchanged because he knew it was the invisible space barrier created by Utharic using the Racial Weapon to prevent Evan from escaping.
In just a few seconds, they reached the middle of the forest and upon taking a closer look at the black-purple bubble, a look of disbelief appeared on their faces.
"How is this possible? This...this..." Utharic stared at the bubble in front of him, unable to find words.
Nythor was also shocked as he examined the bubble closely, but he tried to remain calm and cautiously pushed one hand inside the bubble. As if his hand were passing through an invisible layer of space, it easily penetrated the bubble. However, instead of feeling relieved that he could enter, Nythor's expression turned solemn and he quickly withdrew his hand.
"It's truly incredible... That guy actually pulled this area of the forest into void space and completely severed its connection with the Azragoth World," He said in a low voice, staring ahead with a stunned expression.
Hearing Nythor's words, Utharic took a few deep breaths to steady himself and said in a deep voice.
"No wonder we couldn't monitor him anymore. That guy is basically no longer in the Azragoth World."
As Utharic spoke, a sudden realization struck him and his face turned grim.
"Since he severed this area's connection from the Azragoth World, doesn't that mean..." He spoke and looked at Nythor.
Sensing Utharic's gaze, Nythor nodded and replied in a cold voice.
"I don't know what kind of ability he used, but he pulled that entire area into void space, separating it from the Azragoth World. If we go in there and die, we won't be able to revive using the World Blessing because that area is no longer part of Azragoth World."
