Chapter 218- Shadow Monarch Origin Domain (Part 2)

After that, Rin and Eisheth left the room. Immediately, Rin was welcomed with the sight of a very beautiful castle interior.

The corridor was made out of shiny marble and in every corner, decorations of the highest quality were put in meticulously.

"Is the place to your liking?"

"That doesn't matter now, does it?" Rin asked back with his eyebrows raised.

"Fufufu!" Eisheth merely chuckled and continued walking as she lead the way.

The two moved through the corridors, passing beside maids and butlers that were taking care of the castle. They were all obviously demons.

Whenever Rin would pass beside one, they will give him a weird glance before they quickly get back to work without saying a single word. It was obvious that they found Rin's presence in the castle odd but they can't really say anything as that would be akin to defying the queen's wishes and that means certain death.

Rin was also still not accustomed to being around demons as they were all potential enemies that could attack him at any given moment.

Luckily for him, no one did such a thing and they soon reached their destination.

"Hm? What is this place?" Rin asked as he looked at the two huge gates in front of him. The gates were midnight black in color with weird shiny runes covering them completely.

"You will see." Saying that Eisheth walked forward and put her hand on the door. Immediately, the runes shone with an even brighter color as the doors opened wide the next moment.

"I am the only one capable of opening this door." She said as she walked inside.

'Interesting.' Rin thought as he walked after her.

The moment he stepped inside, he felt a weird sensation well up in his chest. The feeling wasn't uncomfortable. Actually, it felt quite nice as if Rin had just thrown himself in a warm bath after a long day of hard work.

"Hmm, what is this place?" Rin asked as he looked around. Even with his night vision, he could barely see anything except for darkness all around him. It was as if the two of them just entered a void realm far away from any reality.

"This is the Shadow Monarch Origin Domain. The heart of Divine Sapphire and the place where everything began and everything will end." Eisheth said as she continued walking.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"It's simple. Before leaving this world to live in the god realm, the shadow monarch left this origin domain that works as a generator of energy for Divine Sapphire. It provides the world with the mana required to keep it alive and functioning. It's also considered a huge chunk of the shadow monarch's original power that he sacrificed for this world."

"Wait... Do you mean?"

"Yes, the original shadow monarch wasn't even 40% of his true peak strength. No, not even that. I dare say he wasn't even 30% as strong as he could be and yet he was able to rule the god realm like no other. He was truly an enigma."

'An enigma, huh?' Rin's eyes went down for a second as he looked at his hands. A myriad of thoughts passed through his head in a split second before it all vanished as he shook his head.

"So, you said you want to know how I got to see everything about you even though we never met, right?"

"Yes."

"It's simple. Because I'm the result of The Shadow Monarch Origin Domain. In a sense, this domain is my mother." She said as she looked around with a small smile.

"Your mother? Wait, how can a domain give birth to..." That's when Rin realized a small detail about Eisheth. This whole time, ever since they met, Rin didn't focus on that detail. But, Eisheth didn't have horns like other demons.

"You aren't... a demon," Rin murmured as he stared at the queen, Wide-Eyed.

"Very smart, Rin. You are quick to catch on. Yes, I'm technically not a demon as my parents aren't demons. However, I'm also not a human. I existed for one purpose and one purpose only. To meet you." She said.

"..."

"Since this domain is linked directly to me and also linked directly to you. I could see glimpses of your life whenever needed. It's simply to understand the master I'm going to serve."

"I see..."

"Also, there is another reason why I brought you here. Actually, this is the main reason why I brought you here. Since this place is basically the shadow monarch's dormant strength formed into a world of its own, it's only natural that the rightful owner gets it back, right?"

Rin raised an eyebrow as he saw Eisheth's mischievous smile. She was akin to a child who was about to do a cheeky prank on someone.

"Wait, you aren't really intending to do that, are you?"

"Fufufufu! Oh, you don't know how much I want to do it~"

"What about the original shadow monarch? What about his wi-"

As Rint tried to persuade her, Eisheth vanished from where she was and appeared in front of him with her finger on his mouth.

"Shhh! I do not care about the shadow monarch. He is dead... Long dead. You are my master, not him and so to whom I bestow this power is up to me."

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

"Hmmm, but won't my dear master protect me by giving him the power to stop this war altogether?" She said in a seductive tone.

"... You, who are you really?" Rin squinted his eyes as he asked.

Eisheth was odd, very odd. Rin couldn't understand her intentions at all. Was she against humans? Was she simply working to serve him? Or did she have a hidden goal she wants to achieve? He couldn't understand at all and he knew that even if he asked her, she won't give him a proper answer.

However, Rin can't also consider her a friend as she murdered the family of two people he cared for greatly. It was a weird situation that Rin couldn't understand how to properly deal with yet.

"Well, now. Although the best case scenario that could happen if you absorb this power is that you successfully do that. There are some risks."

"Risks?"

"There is a very high chance that instead of absorbing this power and making it your own... You will instead awaken the real shadow monarch."
