Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1174  Void Tunnel (Part 2)

"Three months is too long. Open the void tunnel within the next few days. I don't care how many resources it takes, but I want you to open that void tunnel in the next five days and rescue His Majesty Eldrakar."

Drazen's expression shifted dramatically upon hearing Zalthorak's demand, and he spoke in a hesitant voice.

"Lord Zalthorak, we need a large amount of void crystals to open the tunnel. We have already used most of the void crystals from the treasury. I am afraid it will be impossible for us to open the void tunnel in the next five days without a significant supply of more void crystals."

Zalthorak fell deep into thought upon hearing Drazen, and after thinking for a while, he threw a storage ring towards him.

Drazen hastily caught the storage ring, and when he looked inside it, he saw a small pile of void crystals within the ring.

"Try to open the void rift as soon as possible, and if even these void crystals aren't enough, then send people to search for more in the void space. Also, contact all the auction houses we have dealings with to collect more for us," Zalthorak ordered in a serious voice.

"Yes, Lord Zalthorak..." Drazen bowed respectfully upon hearing Zalthorak and turned around to leave.

However, just when he was about to fly away—

"Wait," The rank six dragon stopped him.

Drazen halted his movements and looked back at Zalthorak with a confused expression, not understanding why he had been stopped.

"What is the situation with the Gehenna Empire?"

Upon hearing Zalthorak's words, a look of understanding flashed across Drazen's face, and he respectfully replied.

"The situation is still under control. Although there are some conflicts, nothing serious has happened so far."

"Hmm..." Zalthorak didn't respond immediately upon hearing Drazen and tapped his finger on top of a giant hill in a rhythmic manner.

After remaining silent for more than five minutes, he finally spoke again.

"Send a few more Rank Four dragons and one Rank Five dragon to the battlefield."

"Huh?" Drazen was stunned when he heard Zalthorak's order, and a look of hesitation crossed his face.

"Lord Zalthorak, didn't we come to an agreement with the Gehenna Empire that we wouldn't escalate the scale of the war until we found out who's pulling the strings behind the scenes?"

"Find out the person behind the scenes..." Anastasia narrowed her eyes as she listened to Drazen's words, and several possibilities flashed through her mind. However, she soon calmed herself down and shook her head.

"Although these fools are trying to act smart, it will be meaningless as long as they don't discover anything about us..." She muttered to herself and shifted her attention back to Drazen and Zalthorak's earlier conversation.

"A void tunnel to rescue Eldrakar, huh." She closed her eyes for a moment, pondering the situation, and after thinking things through, she made up her mind.

"I can't let them open the void tunnel and rescue that bastard so soon..." She said, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"If they rescue Eldrakar, it's certain that Baphomet will also return with him. It's far too soon for those two bastards to come back to Utopia."

"You don't need to worry about the agreement. Just follow my orders..." Zalthorak's cold voice sent a shiver down Drazen's spine.

"Yes, Lord Zalthorak..." Hearing Zalthorak's cold voice, Drazen bowed his head with lingering fear in his eyes and quickly flew away from there.

"An agreement, huh..." Zalthorak sneered once Drazen was out of sight, then lay back down behind the hills.

"The agreement is just a show, a way for the Dragon Islands to appear cooperative in their effort to uncover the mastermind. But since there's such a good opportunity to take advantage of the weakened Gehenna Empire and reap some benefits, of course, we have to do that."

Anastasia overheard Zalthorak's muttering and shook her head, thinking that the old dragon was as shrewd as ever.

"Now... What should I do? Should I complete the task that brought me to the Dragon Islands, or should I..." Anastasia gazed into the distance and a flicker of killing intent passed through her eyes. "Should I kill those dragons trying to open the void tunnel to rescue Eldrakar and Baphomet?"

Anastasia studied the holographic map in front of her and tried to search the ocean beneath her location.

However, when she attempted to do so, she realized that she would need to activate the observation formation linked to the core of the Dragon Islands.

This formation monitored millions of kilometres around the islands and was controlled by the AI installed within the core of Dragon Islands.

With her token, it wouldn't be difficult for her to use the observation formation, but doing so would immediately attract the attention of high-level dragons like Zalthorak, who would notice any anomaly.

The formation continuously monitors the surroundings of the Dragon Islands, and if it suddenly focuses on the sea beneath the islands, it will be impossible to conceal.

"It seems I will have to dive into the ocean myself..." Anastasia sighed and shook her head. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"But if I go there myself and search for that thing, who knows how long it will take. By the time I find it and return, they might have already opened the void tunnel and rescued Eldrakar and Baphomet."

Anastasia tapped her foot on the ground, frowning as she contemplated her next move.

Suddenly, an idea struck her like a bolt of lightning.

"How stupid of me..." She slapped her forehead and pulled out her communication crystal. "That scrap collector is still gathering items on the battlefield. She is not far from the Boundless Ocean. I should just ask her to deal with this."

Anastasia sent a message to Ashley and nodded in satisfaction.

"With her mastery of space law, destroying the void tunnel should be a simple task. And even if she encounters danger, she should have no trouble escaping safely."

After sending Ashley the message, Anastasia put away her communication crystal without waiting for a response and stepped forward.

She approached the cave wall, placed her hand on it, and several runes flashed. Suddenly, the wall split open, and Anastasia stepped outside.

The wall closed behind her, leaving her in front of a tunnel that led downward to the sea.

Once she was out of the cave, a black aura enveloped her, rendering her completely invisible.

"It's time to find out what exactly he wanted me to check out..." She murmured under her breath and began descending into the tunnel.
