The Shadows Enshroud the Culprit

Several moments before Apollo left his residence, the matters pertaining to Reiner were unveiled. The first one to get the message was Geneva, and within mere moments, she appeared before Reiner's door. When she entered, the messy sight of his body immediately entered his eyes. Unlike a normal person, when a cultivator died, their body decayed much slower due to the presence of Natural Essence inside their body.

Thus, Reiner's body barely decayed despite Apollo absorbing a significant amount of the residual energy in his mind. Unlike Sin, Apollo didn't possess the current ability to draw energy directly out of a person's body. Nevertheless, it was still a disturbing sight to behold.

Due to Apollo's painful procedure, Reiner died with a horrified look on his face. The contorted presence of terror on his face stared into the pits. 'This is terrible… the amounts of pain he had to be under before death is unimaginable.'
