In the end, we failed to find more information about the situation.
I really wanted to dissect Steven's soul and find the truth, but I can't do it with Evelyn here. Therefore, I decided to be patient and wait until nightfall.
Meanwhile, I gave Steven something in mind to stop him from committing suicide.I didn't want to lose the only clue I got due to a momentary carelessness.
Fortunately, I didn't have to wait long. A few hours later, it was night.
I took a deep breath and changed my appearance to Clark's red eyes and red hair. Within seconds, I had turned into the boss of the Red Skull Gang.
Steven has been taken by headmistress Evelyn to the capital's justice ministry. After all, he had killed a noble, a crime punishable by death. Even if Evelyn knew he was just a chess piece, she had to bring Steven to justice so that he was responsible for his actions.
Breaking into the place where Steven was being held was not difficult.I just moved through the room without alerting the powerhouse who was guarding the prison and into Steven's room secretly.
Once inside, I put up an isolation barrier around the room so that no one outside could hear anything that was happening here.
When everything was ready, I walked slowly to Steven's bed.
*Tap tap*My footsteps echoed in the quiet room, instantly, waking Steven up.
He opened his eyes with a panicked expression and looked around the room. When he saw me, his face paled in fear.
However, I was polite enough to give her a smile.
“It's good to see you, young master Steven. My name is Clark."
“KK-You, W-who are you!? W-What are you doing here. ”
"Me?" I laugh. "I'm just someone looking for answers." Without giving Steven any time to react, I appeared before him and touched his forehead. "And you have the answers I have."
Steven's face turned pale. He tried to scream, but fear made him unable to open his mouth.
I nodded with satisfaction. Fear is good. With his mind filled with fear, my search would be easier.
"I'm sorry about that." I told him with a devil smile. “But don't worry, it'll be over soon. Try to endure the pain.”
The next second, I violently invaded his mind.
“AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGG!!!” Steven was crying in pain. His eyes turned blood red and his body twitched violently due to the overwhelming Suffering.
But I can't be merciful here.I have to be quick, and quick means no matter the circumstances.
In an instant, my powerful soul pierced through his mind. I mercilessly dissected every part of his soul, layer by layer, until it arrived at the core of his entire being.
However, I have reached my goal.
In the depths of his soul, I could see a dark cloud floating casually while emitting an aura of chaos and destruction.
"I found you." I smile. With a thought, I used my soul power to attack the dark clouds. My powerful soul surrounded the dark clouds completely to stop him from escaping.
But the dark clouds did not try to escape. Instead, it let out a spiritual shockwave and attacked me. Waves of soul force filled with destructive thoughts invaded my soul!
“Hmph!” I grunt. The power of my soul emitted a dazzling light that wiped out destructive thoughts completely. Then, I willed my soul power to seize the dark clouds.
The dark clouds were shocked. I could feel a perplexed feeling coming from him, as if he did not understand why his attacks were ineffective. However, do not hesitate to attack again.
But like last time, I wiped out his attack completely. My consciousness slowly cornered the dark soul, leaving no place to move.
This time, the dark clouds panicked. It started to shake violently and resisted my disturbance. At the same time, it unleashed a powerful spiritual slash!
But my soul turned into a shield and stopped it before it turned into a sword that pierced through the dark clouds.
“HNNNNNGGGGGG!!” Wailing in pain resounded in Steven's soul. Dark clouds vibrate violently as they become dim and dim.
"You're mine .." I curled my lips in anticipation.
But at that moment, the dark cloud shook and its core turned red.
My expression changed immediately. Without a doubt, I pulled my soul out of Steven's mind. But before I could leave completely, the cloud exploded!
"Suck!" I cursed in my mind and created a barrier to protect my soul from damage.
The explosion of the dark clouds created a spiritual shockwave that carried a strange and destructive energy. It was powerful enough to kill even a tenth-tier powerhouse easily!
Fortunately, the isolation barrier I placed around the room when I arrived stopped it from leaving the room.
"Suck!" I cursed again and breathed a pity. A failure.
Although I managed to escape unharmed, I was unable to learn anything important about the dark soul.
The only information I got was that the owner of the dark cloud was someone with the same level of strength as me. Perhaps, another immortal being.
Looking at Steven's corpse, I sighed again. This whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth.
