Chapter 997: Core World (part 1) |
Coming out of the bathroom, Evan went to the living room to talk with Anastasia, but when he reached there, he found the shadow dragon was not there.
He frowned when he didn't see her in the living room and used his spiritual senses to scan his house.
Using his spiritual senses, he found her rather quickly, but when he saw what she was doing, a weird look appeared on his face.
'Is this what people mean by if you do an activity every day, it will eventually turn into a habit?' Evan thought inwardly as he watched Anastasia cooking in the kitchen.
Anastasia felt Evan's spiritual senses, but she just smiled and didn't say anything.
Evan did not know what she was cooking, nor did he care because he was too tired to think about these things for now. He stopped using his spiritual senses and sat down on the sofa.
As he sat down and leaned back on the sofa comfortably, his body screamed in satisfaction because it was after a very long time that he felt relaxed.
In the Tomb, after entering the first layer, he was never able to relax properly because the first layer was quite dangerous. Moreover, just before coming out of the Tomb, he went through a ride of a heavenly roller coaster. From meeting Eldrakar and Baphomet to fighting against Eldritch Goblins and then receiving the information that Elora was a weapon spirit... too many things happened in a short period of time and his mind was completely exhausted from all of these things.
'But to think my daughter used to be a big bully who terrorized the entire universe, huh...' Evan remembered the things Azroth spoke of and, for some reason, his lips arched upwards.
Although Evan didn't like acting like a young master, for some reason, thinking about the scene where Baphomet was kneeling in front of him and he was saying in an arrogant voice, 'If you want to live then abolish your core and cut off your third leg,' made him nod in satisfaction.
After deciding he would torture the demon bastard in the future for nearly killing him, he closed his eyes and looked at his soul space using the psychic soul realm skill to check Elora's condition.
'Hmm... She is still absorbing the remaining power of Origin Essence,' Evan looked at the jet-black halberd that was hovering in his soul space before he stopped using the psychic soul realm skill.
After taking a look at Elora, he looked towards the kitchen and closed his eyes to rest until Anastasia came back.
As he closed his eyes, without realizing it, the mental fatigue accumulated because of the recent events hit him and he fell asleep.
After a long time, Evan slowly opened his eyes and the ceiling of his living room greeted his eyes.
"Hmmm?" Evan frowned when he saw the ceiling of his living room and a momentary look of confusion flashed inside his eyes.
But the look of confusion didn't last long because he soon remembered what he was doing before he fell asleep.
"So, how was your sleep?" He suddenly heard a soft voice and raised his head a little while still lying down, only to see Anastasia's smiling face.
Evan blinked a few times and finally realized his head was resting on something soft, and that thing was a thigh. He took a deep breath and calmly sat up before answering her question.
"My sleep was pretty good, thanks for asking."
"I am glad to hear that."
Although Evan appeared calm on the outside, he was actually quite shocked inside.
And just to be clear, he wasn't shocked because he felt her thigh was quite soft.
Believe him, he was shocked because he didn't realize when Anastasia got near him and put his head on her thigh.
Although he didn't want to brag, he knew his instincts were quite sharp. Especially after spending most of his time in the wilderness since he was transmigrated to Arora World.
In the Arora World, he spent most of his time in the wilderness instead of a city, so his instincts became quite sharp as even though his shadow undeads kept watch while he slept at night, he still had to be on alert all the time in case of any danger, but even then he did not realize when Anastasia got close to him.
But it didn't take him long to remember that Anastasia was not an ordinary person. She was a shadow dragon and not just any shadow dragon but the progenitor of them. So it was literally impossible for him to sense her if she didn't want to be sensed.
"How long was I sleeping?" He asked after a moment.
"It's already past midnight, so it should be around fifteen hours," Anastasia said after thinking for a while, as she had found him asleep when she was done with cooking.
"Fifteen hours, huh..." Evan wasn't surprised when he heard he had slept for nearly fifteen hours because he knew he was mentally exhausted.
He sighed and looked at Anastasia before saying in an apologetic voice, "I'm sorry. I know you were cooking for me, but I fell asleep without eating it."
After seeing the recent memories that he had just unlocked after shattering the soul seal, it wasn't difficult for him to guess that she was cooking for him, but since he fell asleep without eating, he thought he should at least apologize.
"Don't worry about it..." Anastasia shook her head, hearing Evan and asked in a slightly expectant voice, "Since you're awake, do you want to have dinner now?"
Evan was slightly taken aback when he saw Anastasia's enthusiastic expression, but he still nodded his head as he was really hungry.
Seeing Evan nodding his head, Anastasia placed her hand on his shoulder and said to him.
"Since the food was cooked hours ago, I placed it inside my core world and stopped its time so that it would stay fresh. Don't resist; I will bring you inside my core world."
"Core world?" Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard Anastasia and looked at her in confusion.
"You know that in order to become a Rank Six Core Evolver, you have to create your own world, right?"
A look of realization flashed on Evan's face when he heard Anastasia, and he nodded his head.
"So you want to bring me to the world that you created when you became Rank Six?"
"Yes." Anastasia nodded her head.
"Well, sure," Evan had no problem with that because, first of all, he knew Anastasia wouldn't hurt him. If she wanted to, she wouldn't need to take him inside her core world, as she could kill him without much trouble.
After all, she was a Rank Six Core Evolver while he was just a mid-level Rank Two noob.
On the other hand, he also wanted to see what the core world of a Rank Six Core Evolver looked like, so he agreed without hesitation.
Seeing Evan agree, Anastasia smiled and a silver light flashed around both of them.
The next second, when the silver light receded, both of them disappeared from the living room.
