Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1186  Found It!

Utopia—Dragon Islands...

A small opening appeared at the bottom of the central island, which was floating in the middle of the Boundless Ocean.

Anastasia looked down at the ocean from the opening, her lips arching upwards into a small smile. The place where the small opening appeared was shrouded in a strange darkness, making it impossible for anyone to notice it.

With the help of her token, Anastasia controlled the core of the Dragon Islands, ensuring that even the observation formations of the Dragon Islands didn't notice any anomaly. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"He said that there's a very high chance a Rank Six Dragon will be guarding that place," Anastasia muttered to herself. "Even though I am not afraid of it, I still need to be careful. Otherwise, that dragon will alert the whole Dragon Islands, and it will be troublesome to deal with all of them."

Anastasia carefully concealed the opening she had created at the bottom of the floating island and once it was perfectly hidden, the darkness covering that area disappeared, and she floated down, submerging into the ocean.

The moment Anastasia entered the ocean, she sensed an observation wave pass by, scanning her. Feeling the observation wave, she remained calm, floating in the water without moving.

The token hanging at her waist flashed faintly, and after a minute, the observation wave scanning her disappeared completely.

"Now that the core of the Dragon Islands has registered my imprint, I can move freely within the territory of the Dragon Islands without triggering any alarms or traps," She said before diving deeper into the ocean.

According to what Evan had told her, the thing she needed to investigate was located at the bottom of the ocean, near the central island.

The Boundless Ocean was vast, and even though she only needed to search the area around the central island, she knew it wouldn't be an easy task.

Even after registering her imprint with the core of the Dragon Islands, she still couldn't use her spiritual senses to explore the ocean. The formations and traps of the Dragon Islands wouldn't react to her spiritual power because of the imprint, but the creatures within the ocean would still be able to sense her spiritual energy. If a high-level dragon or monster roaming the sea sensed her power, it would bring her unnecessary trouble.

"Let's search the hundred thousand kilometres around the central island first. If that doesn't work, I will have to use other methods," Anastasia said as she continued moving toward the bottom of the ocean.

The Dragon Islands was located in the middle of the Boundless Ocean, and the sea floor was incredibly deep here. Even after Anastasia had dived nearly fifty thousand meters, she still hadn't reached the bottom.

No sunlight could penetrate to such depths, and the entire area was shrouded in endless darkness. However, this darkness didn't hinder Anastasia, and she continued moving without difficulty.

Soon, she had descended to a depth of eighty thousand meters, where the water pressure was so immense that it could easily crush a rank-one core evolver into a bloody pulp.

As she continued descending, Anastasia suddenly sensed something and stopped. The darkness surrounding her thickened, and her presence completely disappeared from the ocean.

The moment her presence vanished, two deep yellow lights appeared in the distance, moving toward her position, illuminating the endless darkness that covered the ocean.

Anastasia narrowed her eyes as she looked at the approaching lights, her expression turning slightly serious.

'Beginner-level Rank Five…' She thought to herself, watching the nearly five-hundred-meter-long brown catfish, which had two glowing yellow eyes. 'There is a soul imprint in its body. It must have been enslaved by the dragons to guard their territory.'

The catfish-like monster circled the area where Anastasia was hiding, and a look of confusion flashed in its eyes when it found no one.

Anastasia waited patiently, and after a few minutes, the catfish monster finally swam away.

Once the monster was gone, she resumed her dive into deeper water. As she continued moving toward the bottom, she encountered a few more monsters, ranging from beginner-level Rank Five to the peak of Rank Five, and without exception, all of them had soul imprints engraved in their bodies, indicating they had all been enslaved by the dragons to guard their territory.

Several minutes later, Anastasia finally spotted the ocean floor when she was nearly one hundred and fifty thousand meters deep.

The water pressure here was tremendous, and even the seaweed and other plants growing on the ocean floor were anything but ordinary. The monsters that roamed these depths were at least mid-level Rank Two, and she even saw several Rank Three and Rank Four creatures.

"Now let's get started," She said after reaching the bottom, her dark eyes glowing slightly as she looked at the sea monsters in the area.

A wisp of shadowy energy emerged from her fingertip as she appeared in front of a mid-level Rank Two crab, which was sitting on a coral reef.

Appearing in front of the crab, she tapped her finger on its head, and the wisp of darkness drilled into its body, settling within its soul.

The moment the wisp of darkness settled within the crab's soul, its green eyes turned deep black, and it became an obedient puppet.

Anastasia smiled faintly as she saw this and gave the crab some instructions, sending it off to search for what she was looking for.

Once the crab was gone, she controlled a few more creatures and dispatched them in all directions, then calmly sat on a coral reef, waiting for any news.

As she waited, Anastasia suddenly received a message from Ashley, informing her that she would handle the Void Tunnel created by the dragons by the end of tomorrow.

"By the end of tomorrow, huh... Seems she is still collecting scraps," She muttered, shaking her head before putting it out of her mind.

Ten hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Anastasia remained seated in the same spot, unmoving.

Given the vast area she needed to search, she knew it would take quite some time before any of the creatures reported back, and she was prepared to wait for several days.

However, to her surprise, just fifteen hours after receiving Ashley's message, one of the creatures she had sent out contacted her, reporting that it had found what she was searching for.
