Chapter 1231.2: Power and Desire
It sounded very nice, but what if it had been repeated for hundreds of years? Reed tried everything he could, and in the end, he started to feel empty, because he didn't have a goal to pursue, and he lived every day just for the sake of survival, like he was some kind of zombie.
This continued until the Shadow of the Law appeared. Then Reed had a goal, he wanted to outmatch his opponent and trample him under his own feet. It was a very difficult goal, but Reed didn't feel like a walking corpse anymore. Even though his body was broken, he was able to survive, and as long as he was alive, he could become stronger. And that's how he started training down here, and as for leaving this place, he didn't see the point. His train of thought had changed and he was no longer interested in the war between the undead and humans.
— Where are these powerful Shadows of the Law? They haven't appeared in thousands of years, " Reed asked, his eyes alight at that moment. Although he knew that he was no match for that shadow, he wanted to once again see the goal he was aiming for.
Su Xiao's thoughts raced through his mind. Although he didn't know the whole situation, he understood that Reed wasn't the mortal enemy of all the Shadows of the Law. He clearly had a grudge against a particular shadow, but nothing more. — You want to find someone in particular?
— Yes, the man who once trampled me in the mud. I swore I would trample him into the mud with my own feet, " the tomb keeper replied and chuckled. In fact, deep down, he didn't hate that Shadow of Law too much. If she hadn't shown up, Reed would have ended up getting consumed by a sense of emptiness or just going crazy.
— I have some bad news for you, " Su Xiao said after determining his intentions. Reed was a strong man, but he was lonely.
In other words, this world was his prison.
— Other than me, you might not be able to find a single living Shadow of the Law.
— You said… What?! Reed exclaimed and looked at Su Xiao in surprise.
— The age of shadows has passed, " Su Xiao replied, not caring that the tomb keeper might get angry, as he wanted to make this creature his assistant. Of course, he wouldn't be able to benefit directly from it, but getting useful information from it wouldn't be any big deal.
— The era? The age of shadows? What does it mean? Reed asked after hearing the clues in Su Xiao's words.
— Have you ever heard of "The Void"? This is a wonderful place. It was in this place that the Shadows of the Law appeared.
— The void? I've heard of this place, but I've heard that it's very dangerous, " Reed replied, as if he were some kind of country boy. Although he was the strongest existence in the past, he was only one in this world, and he knew very little about the void.
Su Xiao nodded and continued — " It was in this Void that the era of Law Shadows began and ended. This is a very unique place. You are considered a very strong being in this world, but when you are in the Void, you will become a relatively nimble little fish, and then at best, " he said all this without even belittling Reed's strength, for this guy wasn't even close to being as strong as that woman, Sha.
If someone else had said this to the tomb keeper, Reed might have just hit the creature's head with his hammer, but Su Xiao was a Shadow of the Law, and even though he wasn't as good as the one that made him feel despair in the past, he was still a Shadow of the Law.
— You can... help me get there? No, you're too weak, you can't do it.
— Really? Su Xiao asked and tossed the square object to Reed.
Su Xiao had been to the void, so he could present some evidence.
What Su Xiao threw to Reed was the tablet that was playing the video.
The audience in the form of representatives of all sorts of races greeted him. In the center of the field, Su Xiao was fighting a creature with wings.
Soon, the picture changed to the main entrance of Alice's castle, which was destroyed, and Reed saw very strong creatures of different races running out of the castle.
The fluctuations that some of these creatures were generating caused the tomb keeper's heart to race.
Some things couldn't be faked, and since he clearly had good eyesight, Reed could certainly tell if the video was true or just plain nonsense. Although he didn't know exactly how the footage was shot, he could tell that it was all real and not an illusion.
— I want... Visit it! The void! the tomb keeper's body trembled. He was like a traveler who was about to die of thirst in the desert, but met another traveler who was willing to take him to an oasis with sweet spring water and juicy fruits. Although this sentence sounded dangerous, Reed, formerly the strongest being in this world, believed that he could survive such a dangerous journey.
— No problem, but I prefer an equivalent exchange.
It was precisely because Reed was considered a neutral existence that Su Xiao decided to negotiate with him.
