Chapter 1096 Treasure Trove (Part 1)
"I failed to establish a connection again..." Eilistraea muttered in a low voice as she wiped the streak of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth and looked at her monarch core, which was slowly ceasing to glow.
"The last time, I failed to react in time when someone created a Domain similar to mine. And when the same person created a Zone, they were in a different dimension(inside the Tomb Of The Ancient) so I failed again. This time, when she created the Illusionary World similar to mine, I nearly succeeded in establishing a connection with her, but..." She said to herself and sighed deeply.
She recalled the jet-black Halberd that obliterated her phantom and her face turned serious.
"What was that thing? Although it was just my phantom, for it to be destroyed in a single moveâwhatever that was, it must be something extraordinary," Eilistraea muttered in a low voice as she stood up.
Because her phantom was destroyed the moment it appeared on Earth, she hadn't been able to take a proper look around.
Evan was also using a fake appearance, and since her phantom had only taken a fleeting glance at him, she didn't recognize him.
"That guy looked quite stunned after he destroyed my phantom as if he was shocked that it was destroyed with just a single attack..." Eilistraea's face darkened as she remembered Evan's baffled expression. "He was definitely thinking I was too weak."
Thinking he was looking down on her, Eilistraea felt her hands itching and her eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"Let's see if he can still look down on me when I see him next time," She said and looked at the raging sandstorm around her.
"Where the hell did that bastard disappear to? I can sense his lingering aura here, but there are no other traces of his presence as if he vanished from the world after coming here."
Eilistraea searched the area where Evan had disappeared using his title, and the more she looked around, the more frustrated she became.
"Did he realize I was coming and run away?" She muttered, her deep green eyes glowing brightly.
He took a deep breath and his expression turned deadly serious because although the phantom had only manifested for a brief moment before being destroyed by him, he still clearly saw its appearance.
"That phantom was very similar to Eilistraea, one of the five monarchs."
Evan had seen Eilistraea's photo in the closed world of Dryads, so when he saw the phantom, he recognized her immediately. However, because he saw her for just a brief moment, he wasn't one hundred percent sure if she was really Eilistraea or not.
"If she is really Eilistraea and Elysia used to be her essence clone, then..." He looked at Elysia and felt as if he had just added another problem to his list of troubles.
"Damn, what kind of bullshit life am I living? Every day I encounter a new problem for no reason," He cursed under his breath and sat down.
Because Elysia was creating her Illusionary World on her ownâunlike Zorda, who had directly taken Anderson's Illusionary Worldâshe hadn't finished her evolution even after five hours.
Around nine hours later, Evan received a message from his shadow undeads that they had cleared all the high-level monsters across the Earth.
Once Evan received the message, he immediately called Boris, who confirmed the situation with the monsters using satellite images and then sent all the information Evan had asked for.
"Finally..." Evan said with a sigh once he received the information from Boris.
He opened the information that Boris sent him through his bracelet, and the first thing he looked for was what had happened to his body after it burst into energy following his death.
Recalling the strange pattern that had appeared on his face after his death, he wanted to know what exactly had happened to his body and if it was still intact.
Unfortunately, he found nothing about it. According to the information, after his body burst into energy, it completely disappeared, leaving nothing behind.
"Well... So I died without any burial, huh..." He said with a sigh, but when he looked at the next piece of information, his eyes lit up.
"There is actually information about that black figure."
