Bab 683: Soul Tempering

Where am I?

Did I die?

Those were Emery's thoughts as he found himself slowly drifting in seemingly endless darkness. He didn't know where he was exactly going nor had any control of his destination. It was like flying through a vast void.

A few moments later, as Emery continued on experiencing this ethereal-like state, he started to feel some kind of energy appearing on his left and right side respectively: one was shining brightly full of life, the other let out pitch black glow and had a completely opposite feeling to its counterpart.

Seeing the two forms of energy floating next to him, Emery finally understood where he was.
