Chapter 448 446-The Unraveling of the Power of Shadow

The path from the High Priest's abode to the Shadow Clan's Valhalla was remarkably uneventful.

Though all three of them were well-acquainted with the route, their progress was anything but swift, for each of them carried a heavy burden of thoughts.

Leading the way was Ethan, his mind consumed with a single, urgent objective – to awaken Sherry as swiftly as possible.

He held no illusions that bringing her to the Shadow Clan's Valhalla would directly rouse her from her slumber.

Still, in Ethan's mind, having become the new High Priest of the Shadow Clan, Sherry was sure to receive assistance from the predecessors who once occupied the Valhalla.

Walking in the middle, Eck grappled with a nagging uncertainty: Did Ethan know about his clandestine alliance with Dart?

And if he did, how would he react?

Ethan's past actions had painted him as a ruthless avenger when facing his enemies, sparing no mercy.

Eck couldn't help but recall the fates of those who had stood against Ethan during the Dart rebellion.

He was determined not to follow in their disastrous footsteps.

Bringing up the rear, the Shadow Elf contemplated a persuasive strategy to convince Ethan to release the other Shadow Elves within Valhalla.

After all, his willingness to assist Ethan was driven by the desire to put an end to the relentless extraction of the Power of Shadow from their kin.

As the trio delved deep into their respective contemplations, they remained oblivious to the unusual disturbance in the surrounding Power of Shadow.

In the territory of the Shadow Clan, an abundance of Power of Shadow thrived, and it appeared as though all of it was converging towards the direction of the Shadow Clan's Valhalla.

Under normal circumstances, all three could have sensed this anomaly.

However, their minds were burdened with their own concerns, rendering them unable to focus on their surroundings.

Over two long hours passed before the trio finally arrived at the entrance to the Shadow Clan's Valhalla.n.)o((v.-E--l-.b/(1-/n

There, an unspoken agreement compelled them all to halt in their tracks.

None dared to step directly into the heart of the Valhalla, for they could all feel that the Power of Shadow within was more potent than they had ever imagined.

"Why is there such a formidable concentration of Power of Shadow here? Didn't I eliminate all the surplus Power of Shadow possessed by the Hero Spirits within Valhalla?"

Ethan voiced his astonishment, perplexed by the inexplicable surge of power.

He had previously ventured into the Shadow Clan's Valhalla and eradicated all excess Power of Shadow.

Yet, he struggled to comprehend why the once pure Power of Shadow had suddenly lost its purity and why the Shadow Elf's Power of Shadow was aggregating so rapidly.

While Ethan pondered the perplexing questions, a bustling commotion arose behind them.

The sound of many hurried footsteps echoed, signaling the arrival of numerous individuals racing towards the Shadow Clan's Valhalla.

"They are here! They're the ones who disrupted the Hero Spirits within Valhalla! It's their actions that caused the Power of Shadow in the Shadow Clan's territory to go haywire!"

The voice of a Shadow Clan elder reverberated from behind the trio, accompanied by the voices of other Shadow Clan members.

Before long, dozens of Shadow Clan members emerged in front of Ethan, Eck, and the Shadow Elf.

Their faces bore expressions of seething anger.

As the sole Shadow Clan elder among the three, Eck stepped forward and asked, "Why have you come here? This is our Shadow Clan's Valhalla, and Shadow Clan members are never allowed to enter it lightly."

In response to Eck's inquiry, the expressions on the faces of these Shadow Clan members were filled with disdain.

They appeared to believe that the actions of Eck and the others were the true cause of the Shadow Clan's plight.

"We are here because of you," one of the Shadow Clan members retorted.

"You disrupted the Hero Spirits within Valhalla, causing the Power of Shadow in our territory to spiral out of control. We must quickly quell the Power of Shadow.

"If we cannot calm it down, all Shadow Clan members will suffer dire consequences. Eck, as one of the Shadow Clan's elders, you should be well aware of the risks of the Power of Shadow going rogue, shouldn't you?"

The words of their interlocutor left Eck at a loss for words.

The unfolding events were entirely outside of his plan, and he grappled with the unforeseen consequences of their actions.

Eck had become increasingly flustered, realizing that the situation had spiraled far beyond his expectations.

He now found himself in a position where he had no choice but to seek assistance from Ethan.

Eck turned towards Ethan, acknowledging the urgency of their predicament.

It was evident that Eck struggled to find an explanation for the current circumstances.

Ethan, in response to the approaching group of enraged Shadow Clan members, took it upon himself to clarify their intentions.

"You must all be aware that the High Priest is currently trapped in a deep slumber. To awaken the High Priest, we have come to the Shadow Clan's Valhalla with a specific purpose."

"Our plan involves harnessing the power of the Hero Spirits within Valhalla to rouse the High Priest. I do not believe that our actions have caused the Power of Shadow in the Shadow Clan's territory to go haywire."

"The loss of control over the Power of Shadow is likely due to other reasons.If you are willing to offer us your assistance, we are equally willing to help you resolve this predicament."
