The stone room contained a few wide bookshelves and a black wooden table, where Emily was concentrating on an ancient personal letter in her hands. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she puzzled over the dark magical knowledge contained within.
"Lady Emily reports, Lord Bryan requests an audience!" a voice came from a tubular hole on Emily's desk.
A pleasantly surprised expression took over her face and she involuntarily let out a soft cry. She hastily put down the old letter, took a clear, rounded mirror from her space ring and touched her tender, beautiful cheeks.
"Lady Emily, can Lord Bryan enter?" when the guide heard her soft cry, he understood that Emily was in the secret chamber, but as she did not answer, the guide repeated his question.
Emily, who was nervously tidying up her appearance, hastily replied in her endearing voice, "Just a moment, I will be ready in a moment!"
As she spoke, she double-checked her face in the mirror to make sure there was not a single blemish. Then she smoothed her black robe with magic. Finally she said, "Alright, Lord Bryan may enter!"
With a flash of bright light, Han Shuo appeared in the stone room through a short-range transportation matrix.
"Bryan!" Emily exclaimed excitedly as she saw the imposing figure that had always been in her mind standing in her presence. She threw herself onto Han Shuo's broad chest and hugged him tightly with all her strength, as if Han Shuo would disappear at any moment.
Han Shuo had a warm smile on his face as he looked down at Emily in his embrace.
Not only had her beautiful face not aged after three years, it had become even more fascinating and charming. Her delicate face was flushed with joy and excitement, making her already beautiful and alluring appearance even more mesmerising.
Han Shuo could feel the rapid rise in temperature of Emily's body. After three years of abstinence, an irrepressible fire was rising in his lower abdomen as he savoured the wonderful feeling of having such a magnificent being in his embrace, with her supple skin as smooth as it looked and her slender neck, curvaceous physique, bottom and breasts thick in all the right places.
Emily could obviously feel the erection and heat coming from Han Shuo's abdomen. She usually became sensitive to such things after receiving so much nourishment from Han Shuo. Her vision suddenly blurred, and her voice and body also began to tremble slightly. Unconsciously, her two hands that had been wrapped tightly around Han Shuo began to move wildly across his broad back.
Han Shuo let out a soft roar and swept Emily off the ground with a single movement. In an instant, he sat her down on the office desk that was used to assign tasks to the members of the Dark Mantle, and her clothes were torn to shreds...
A long while later, Emily couldn't make the slightest movement with her fingers and curled up in a lazy position in the comfortable, wide chair.
A thread of Demonic Yuan flowed into Emily's body, gradually nourishing her and restoring her lost physical strength.
Some time passed and Emily, who was in extreme comfort, took a deep breath and opened her bright eyes. Focusing her gaze on Han Shuo, she asked, "Bryan, when did you arrive in Ossen City?"
"Just now!" Han Shuo had changed his clothes. He gently pulled out a soft blanket and laid it over Emily's tender body.
Her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement and the corners of her mouth curved with a trace of sweet joy. In a shy tone, she asked, "Does that mean I was the first person you visited when you arrived?"
"Yes," Han Shuo replied smiling.
"Very good!" Emily nodded, full of energy. She looked pleasantly at Han Shuo and grabbed his large hands, guiding them to gently rub her cheeks.
"This is an Origin Crystal of Darkness that I got from Tarrag Canyon. Take it. Slowly fuse your soul with it. It will allow you to form a Soul of Element, which will be enormously beneficial to your practice of dark magic!" Han Shuo said with a warm smile as he revealed the Origin Crystal containing pure elemental energy of darkness and placed it in Emily's palm.
As soon as Han Shuo removed the Origin Crystal of the purest Dark Element from his space ring, Emily, who had been curled up lazily in her chair, immediately felt the pure Dark Element stored within.
This Dark Element contained not the slightest impurity. Its uncontaminated energy carried an indescribable power of seduction. Even though Emily did not use her mental power to consciously examine it, as a dark archimage, she could deeply sense how miraculous and mysterious what it contained was.
"Such a pure element of darkness. What, what is this thing?" Emily asked, her bright eyes fixed on Han Shuo.
"This is called an Origin Crystal. It contains an enormous and pure element of darkness, free of any impurities. Once your soul is fused with an Origin Crystal, it will become an Elemental Soul. This will allow you to possess the deepest realisation of Dark Magic, and your soul and Dark Element will reach the most compatible state.
For any magus practising elemental magic to become a god, he must form a Soul of Element and a Body of Element. An ordinary magus may never be able to form a Soul of Element. Even if they did, it wouldn't be easy for an ordinary person to realise.
With this Origin Crystal, as long as you fuse it with your soul, the vast, pure element of darkness stored within it can allow you to directly form an Elemental Soul. With this, you will undoubtedly make rapid progress in your practice of dark magic. In addition, you will have the foundation to become a god of dark magic!" Han Shuo explained with a smile.
Emily couldn't help but shiver. Her eyes shone with disbelief. She looked at Han Shuo and stuttered with a trembling voice, "Br... Bryan... this is for me? Are you sure this is for me?"
"Stupid woman, of course it's for you!" Han Shuo said as he gently stroked Emily's face. Suddenly, Han Shuo remembered something and said solemnly, "However, given your current realm attainment, you must absorb it carefully. I don't know if your soul can fully withstand this enormous amount of dark element. In any case, be careful!"
"I, I will!" Emily held the Origin Crystal of Darkness with both hands, so excited that she almost fainted from euphoria. From Han Shuo's explanation, she realised what this Origin Crystal would mean to her. It was a most precious item that could make her a god. She could no longer express her gratitude and admiration for Han Shuo with words.
"Lady Emily, is Bryan in there?" Candide's voice interrupted from a magical device on Emily's table.
Candide's voice sounded a bit shaky and excited for some reason. Before Han Shuo could reply, Candide spoke again through the magic device, "I sense an incomparably pure and powerful aura of dark element coming from your location. Are you both alright?"
Han Shuo and Emily exchanged a glance and both came to their senses. Candide was also a Dark Grand Magus. He had been immersed in dark magic for much longer than Emily. His understanding of Dark Magic had probably exceeded Emily's as well.
Since Han Shuo did not use any special technique to hide the aura emitted by the Origin Crystal of Darkness, it was only natural for Candide, as a Dark Grand Magus, to sense the presence of this enormous pure element of darkness.
"Quickly put it away!" With one hand covering the sound transmitting magic device, Han Shuo hastily instructed Emily.
Emily had already come to her senses at the sound of Candide's voice, but the first thing she did was hurriedly get dressed. Only after Han Shuo's reminder did she put the Origin Crystal away. Shortly after, she panicked, "He knows, what do we do, what do we do?"
As a figure of such high authority, Emily shouldn't have been so panicked. The reason she was so out of her mind was simply that the Origin Crystal had overwhelmed her to the point of shock. She was so excited that she found it difficult to stay calm, hence her agitation.
"It's okay. Not only does he have no idea, but even if he knew I'd given you the Origin Crystal, there's nothing he could do about it," Han Shuo reassured Emily. He realised that Emily was too emotional now and it would be inappropriate for Candide to enter. He immediately added: "You stay here and calm down yourself. Leave Candide to me!"
Han Shuo then stood on the transportation matrix in Emily's room. After a flash of bright light, he appeared in front of Candide.
"Bryan, I've just received reports that you have indeed returned. Oh yes, I sensed an extremely pure Dark Elemental aura coming from Emily's stone room a minute ago. In so many years, I have never felt such pure Dark Elemental energy from anywhere. What's going on?" Candide asked.
"Nothing much. I was just using my martial arts to help Emily gather some dark element so that she could sense the presence of the dark element more clearly," Han Shuo said smiling as he tried to hide the truth. Shortly after, he changed the subject, "Lord, I have met Stratholme the old monster.
Perhaps the subject of Stratholme the old monster piqued Candide's interest, or perhaps Candide was astute enough to understand that Han Shuo was unwilling to discuss it thoroughly, Candide did not inquire further about the giant dark element, but asked in astonishment about the course of events that led to Han Shuo and Stratholme meeting.
