Amidst the tenebrous Soulscape of Shade, the ant's corpse and soul merged with Shade's miasma and phantasmal flames, reborn swiftly as a Spectral Spirit Egg.
This was how Shade employed his Necromancy. It was less potent than Gray's and required time to prepare, which explained why he carefully selected which beings to transform into his Spirits.
Now, Shade welcomed a new member to his Familiars. The egg cracked open slowly. With its level of power, it didn't take long before Vulcan emerged amidst the cold flames of phantasmal and soul energies.
"T-This is…? I am not dead?"
Vulcan was shocked, gazing at the endless black abyss of Shade's Soulscape.
"It has been many ages since another one was chosen…"
"He is rather strange."
"A new one, huh?"
Vulcan was greeted not only by the darkness but also by voices, which gradually materialized into enormous ghostly figures. Their leader was a being of pure Death, unlike anything else, a King of Darkness and the End of All Life.
