Chapter 286 Trash And Treasure (2/2)

This was no hall or cavern Rather, it was a perfectly spherical space, about two hundred paces across, alls that consisted entirely of a sh the space was as grand as it was alien, it wasn't what caught Arran's eye Rather, what drew his gaze hat lay at its center

In the e star that Arran could only describe as an amorphousalive

The darkat it caused him an almost instinctive fear, and he felt as if the darkness was so to draw him inside of it

With a start, he realized this was no— the cloth of his robe was stretched in the direction of the black mass, and he understood that the pull he felt was entirely real

Most disturbing of all, however, was that there was so deeply fa he had long known

”Is this the treasure?” he asked, looking at Karanos ary eyes

”It is not,” the ht forth the treasure But the treasure itself was taken away long ago”

Arran frowned uneasily Karanos did not seem as if he had any malice in mind, but the forer

Had he not known it was impossible for him to escape Karanos if thesince fled And even now, he was preparing to fight his companion if necessary

”Then as the treasure? And if it's gone, why are we here?” He glanced at the ?”

”To answer your first question,” Karanos said, ”this place once held shards of Living Shadow Look”

With a singleblade in his hand — a sied from unremarkable iron Then, in a casual stroke, he struck a blow to the star a deep scar in the supposedly indestructible metal

Arran looked on ide eyes ”What is that?”

”This is Living Shadow,” Karanos replied In an instant, the blade in his hand turned as black as the mass of darkness at the center of the space and took the shape of a long spear With this, he struck the wall again, and although the bloas a clumsy one, it left another deep scar in the ood eapons,” he said with a sigh As the spear disappeared from his hand, he turned to Arran ”That is the treasure I ive you”

Arran looked at hi Shadow or not, to Arran's eyes it was a sword — and the best he'd ever seen

”NotShadow remains here, ill have to retrieve a piece for you — because although this place was stripped clean, an endless supply lies on the other side”

”The other side?” Arran's puzzled expression lasted only a lanced at the ?”

”That thing is a tear in our reality,” Karanos said ”And on the other side lies a Shadow Realift”

”It's a Shadow Realm?” Now, Arran understood why the unnatural ht hi a Shadow Realm?!”
