Arthur had long since acquired [Life State] and [Saint Hands] which are formidable skills but aren't that useful to him, especially the [Saint Hands] which is a high-level Healing skill which may save mortals from death but it'll do naught for a person wounded by a Sovereign.

As for [Life State], it grants immunity to all kinds of diseases. As Arthur absorbed the book of Life, also known as the book of Eternity, he received this long list of notifications. He spent a minute or so reading it before closing everything and testing his new powers.

While his left hands glowed with some kind of a Holy and white light, his right hand unleashed ominous grey fog that made the air turbulent and caused the nearby ground to wither.

"Excuse me, who might you be?"

Shu Ru, who managed to calm her fastly beating heart, walked toward him while throwing that question. To be honest, she had long since she suspected the presence of an additional being with Lucy thanks to her technique but she never imagined it to be an actual person.

Her secret technique allows her to see the souls of nearby living beings and when she directed it toward Lucy, she saw two colors, indicating that there are two souls in one body. She speculated the presence of some kind of a soul weapon or a pet but never a human.

There are several colors of the soul and they tell her what kind of person her target is. Lucy's soul was the color of Ice and was freezing cold though it was enveloped by an illusory dark energy that made it difficult for Shu Ru to look closer.

As for the second soul she noticed, it nothing short of a bottomless abyss. Black as ink and horrifying to look at.

The reason she never expected it to be a person is because she never thought a person could have such a heart-shaking soul.

Now that she had a closer look at Arthur, she still couldn't believe the truth despite being in front of her. With fear, wariness, and a tinge of curiosity, she inspected this tall man.

He had grey hair, a scarred-eye, and a blood-red pupil. She couldn't help but get the chills as if something inside of him was staring at her, ready to devour her whole.

Nonetheless, she mustered her courage and asked him. Her voice seemed to grab his attention as he turned to look at her. After inspecting her from head to toe as if she was being judged, he emotionlessly replied

"Pardon my late introduction. I am called Arthur."

He did a low bow in greeting as he introduced himself. In response, Shu Ru also bowed back but found no suitable response so silence dominated the atmosphere for some time before Lucy spoke

"So, how do we proceed?"

Obviously, her question was directed to Shu Ru, who's supposed to know how to reach their destination. She already tried smashing the ground but it was inexplicably hard. Heck! It didn't even have scratches.

The only thing that affected it was Arthur's Death Energy which caused it to wither but it would return to normal in a matter of seconds.

Shu Ru wanted to know ask a few more questions but gave up and took out an item from her storage. It was actually a round silver mirror. In its back, there were some purple feathers which seemed to be some kind of decoration.

"This artifact is supposed to force open a path that leads us down below. But be careful as there is most likely a powerful Yin Beast hiding there."

'So there really was Yin Beast'

Shu Ru tightly held the mirror and pointed it toward the ground while chanting with a low voice

"Iclil ofrofojius, enisa, isyujiel, okrekasse, nivi, upeshe, hadi!!"

A burst of energy similar to a laser was shot from the mirror. It was so powerful to the point of causing the whole palace to shake violently. The unbreakable white ground showed signs of cracking.

The girl's face was turning red as she poured all her energy into the artifact. As she saw that it managed to crack the surface, she continued with her incantation.

"Cleen shrite, alyeyorn, mefius, flopri, aclishri, yutar!!"

Just as the last word was said, the mirror began emitting steam as the 'laser' being shot out changed from white to red. The radius of this burst of energy became bigger as a hole, large enough to fit three humans, was created due to the might of the Artifact. There was nothing but darkness laying beyond this hole. Cold air emanated from below and the density of Yin Energy was far superior inside than outside.

Seeing this sight reminded Arthur of Judgment, the weapon that almost killed him and Lucy back when they were in the Nemia Academy.

When he has free time, he decided to create a weapon that had a similar concept to this mirror. Like Rinotsu, this mirror seemed to be able to trap a huge amount of Energy in it there suddenly letting out thus creating unimaginably devastation.

Though controlling trapped Nether Energy is way harder than controlling trapped Elemental Energy. For example, Arthur could unleash a Dark Rinotsu or a Dark Rizaki, however, he can't create a Rizaki with only Nether Energy for he's not capable of controlling the suppressed Energy, it would quickly run out of control and even severely injure him.

Even when the mirror stopped firing its 'laser', the hole in the ground was still present. Shu Ru panted heavily as she put away the Artifact. She seemed to have consumed a large amount of her energy thus rendering her temporarily weak.

As she stared at this whole which had nothing but darkness beyond it, the young girl said

"Seniors, before we enter, please allow me to say what's on my mind."
