Chapter 419: Nether Language

In the meantime, Titus nodded his white skull, squatted down a little, and touched the book.

But the next instant, a sharp pain appeared in the depth of his soul, followed by a forceful intrusion of a foreign power in his Inner World.

'What is this?!' Even Charles's Will got startled deeply and soon learned the truth.

At that moment, Titus also noticed that information about a new language called 'Nether Language' appeared in his mind.

Upon seeing this, the cloaked skeleton nodded his skull and asked.

"Do you understand my words now?

"

Meanwhile, Titus got startled suddenly and then nodded his skull.

"Good.. Do you still remember your past life memories?

" The cloaked skeleton asked him further.

'Answer him as no.' Charles's Will responded in Titus's mind. He vaguely felt the ill intention behind the undead skeleton's words and helped him.

On the other hand, Titus tilted his head to show his confusion and stared at them with curiousness and wariness.

"What should we do, Master? This skeleton seems to have lost all of his memories in the river.

" The cloaked skeleton said as he glanced at one of the three gigantic humanoid skeletons. If someone looks at this particular giant skeleton, they will find that it had a golden color skull!

"No use in keeping a pure soul in our place. He is bound to cause trouble in the future. Finish him off.

" An eerie voice came out of the gigantic skeleton's skull.

"Yes, My Lord.

" The cloaked skeleton nodded his skull and was about to raise his broadsword but froze.

At that moment, a seven-meter-tall silhouette of a grim Reaper suddenly manifested behind the young skeleton and released a dense amount of death energy!

Like the last time, a black cloak appeared around its body.

Then, the Grim Reaper created a defensive structure of bones around Titus's skeleton body and shielded him first.

Simultaneously, a scythe also appeared in the grim reaper's hand and glowed in red color.

As the cloaked and giant skeletons saw the Grim Reaper's incarnation, all of them stepped back in unison. But before the nearby undead skeleton could even move, the Grim Reaper raised its scythe and slashed at him.

Like a blurring shadow, the reddish scythe moved towards the nearby cloaked skeleton and decapitated his head in a blink. Then, the Grim Reaper once again moved its scythe and slashed at the other undead skeletons. In three seconds, all those skeletons' heads, bodies, and limbs were sliced into many pieces and fell on the ground one by one.

Then, the Grim Reaper moved forward, looked down at the sliced skeleton bones, and opened its mouth. The next instant, five foggy appearances appeared in the thin air and soon got sucked into the Grim Reaper's mouth!

A second later, the Grim Reaper turned transparent and disappeared from there. At that moment, the defensive bone structure also got broken into pieces, leaving Titus alone in the barren land.

'I didn't even order it to attack.' He was stunned by this scene and soon noticed a dense form of death energy came out from his soul. Before he could even understand the situation, the dense death energy entered his skeleton body and started strengthening his bones!

'T-This... This Grim Reaper is extracting the death energy from the souls and strengthening your soul and body!' Charles's Will shouted in surprise.

'But why is it acting on its own, Teacher? What is its origin?' Titus noticed a slight chance in his skeletal body and asked in confusion.

'You've to find out on your own, lad. First, find a safe place and learn more about this world.' Charles's Will paused for a moment and then added.

'I also have a gift for you. Although it won't be enough to survive in this world, it will help you learn more about this death energy.'

Saying so, Charles's Will extracted some of his memories, condensed them into a ball of cloud, and sent them into his Inner World.

It was the memories of Reid's lifetime research!

A second later, Titus noticed that another round of information appeared in his mind.

'Necromancy and skill information? Soul research? Soul Bind skill? How to control a soul? Research papers?' But unlike before, the information that appeared in Titus's mind was enormous. As he skimmed through the information, he knew that it would take more than a week to digest this information thoroughly.

Although this research paper mainly was about souls and their function, he also saw some information about nether energy and felt glad inside.

After that, he took a short sword from the broken bones and soon shifted his attention towards the black cloak.

Then, he picked up the cloak, wore it over his skeletal body, and started walking towards the other side of the small hill.

...

Old House, Potters Street, Darkwell Town, the Grime Plain, Aetas Kingdom, Faith Plane.

Currently, Charles stood before the invisible soul barrier in the basement and continued to analyze it. On the other hand, Irzoch stayed a few meters away from him and stared at his back, full of shock and surprise.

It had been more than a month since he started analyzing the mysterious soul barrier, but he hadn't moved an inch from that place!

His action shocked her to the core!

'How?! Lord hadn't eaten bread or drank a glass of water! How is he still standing like he wasn't affected by the hunger?' She found it very hard to believe. Even though she was a bloodline sorcerer, her body wasn't strong enough to withstand the hunger for more than two days. The same goes for the other Saints and Sorcerers. At that moment, she knew that her Lord was indeed a unique being like their Goddess!

Although she thought of asking him many times, she decided not to disturb him.

In the meantime, Charles stared at the soul barrier and soon nodded his head in understanding.

'Essence points... They are interlinked with one another and created a perfect soul barrier.'

For the past 30 days, he used the Arcane Eyes non-stop on the soul barrier and found more than 2,596 essence points. Two thousand four hundred points were nature essence points, while the remaining were sword and insight essence points.

Yes, he also found out that the thing that appeared similar to wisdom power was called Insight!

'It might be a sub-domain of the wisdom power.' He thought to himself.

When he was analyzing the sour barrier, he entered a strange enlightenment state five times!

Unfortunately, there was no fire essence in this soul barrier. Otherwise, he would've long analyzed the soul barrier and entered the Ancestral Hall.

Alas, he didn't lose his patience at all. In truth, he was more eager to study this 'Insight' power.

As long as he manages to merge this power with his Arcane Eyes skill, his gain would be immeasurable!

'This power is capable of pulling my consciousness to a strange enlightened state! This might help me greatly during the spell model comprehension process.' He was very eager to obtain some information about this Insight Power.
