Necromancer Of The Shadows

Evan looked at the completely devastated area before him and after confirming that Xael'Tor was truly dead, he sighed inwardly.

---) Primordial Shadow Energy: 1654

He glanced at his status window, and seeing that he had used more than half of his Primordial Shadow Energy in this fight, he couldn't help but frown.

"If all the people here are like Xael'Tor and can come back to life even after dying, then it won't be easy to complete the tasks..." He said in a low voice, his eyes flashing with cold light.

During the fight against Xael'Tor, he hadn't used his shadow undeads, Authorities, or shadow possession skill because he wanted to test his base strength.

Although he could fight against peak Rank Three Core Evolvers even when he was at mid-level Rank Two, it was undoubtedly not as easy as it was now after becoming a Peak Rank Two Core Evolver.

With the help of the Halberd of Destruction, he was confident that even if he faced two or three peak Rank Three Core Evolvers simultaneously, he could at least escape unscathed, even if he couldn't defeat them... And if he used shadow possession, it wouldn't be difficult to kill any Rank Three Core Evolver, regardless of their numbers, though he was still unsure about facing a Rank Four Core Evolver.

Without relying on his Death Guardian Authority and the Master of Shadows Authority, he wasn't confident that he could fight against a Rank Four Core Evolver just by using the Shadow Possession skill.

But the problem with his Authorities was that, despite their immense power, their duration was very short and they had long cooldown times.

Unless it was a life-and-death situation, he didn't want to use his Authorities carelessly in this strange place.

If the worst came to worst, he could always summon Zorda and Elysia back. Although they were on Earth, he could simply command them to kill themselves using the Shadow Senses skill, and once they died, he could summon them back to his side using World Essence.

However, unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to do that. If both of them were summoned here and Winterclaw made his move during that time, Valery would most likely be captured by them and he really didn't want Winterclaw, who absolutely hated him to succeed in his plan.

"As I thought, before considering completing the tasks, I need to break through to Rank Three if I want to ensure my safety in this place."

The fight against Xael'Tor just now made Evan even more desperate to increase his understanding of void energy and reach Rank Three as soon as possible. If it was already difficult to complete the tasks he had received, the difficulty had increased even more due to the so-called World Blessing that Xael'Tor mentioned.

Evan looked at the completely destroyed area around him one last time and was about to leave when suddenly, he felt something and raised his head, looking at the red-orange sky above.

As he stared at the sky, his eyes turned cold and the area behind him was suddenly submerged in endless darkness. Amid the darkness, a figure sitting on a throne with one red and one golden eye also looked at the sky, and the moment it looked up, the sky within hundreds of kilometres suddenly shook as if something invisible had been destroyed by the gaze of the black silhouette.

Once the sky trembled, Evan deactivated the Fear skill without any expression on his face and disappeared from the scene.

****

Far away from Evan's location, a peak Rank Two Eldritch Creature, who looked somewhat similar to Xael'Tor but had only four arms instead of six suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and...

**Crack... Crack...**

A two-meter-high and one-meter-wide mirror in front of him cracked and shattered into countless pieces.

**Cough... Cough...**

The Eldritch Creature continued to cough black blood for nearly three minutes before his condition stabilized and he looked at the shattered mirror before him with a look of horror on both of his faces.

"How is this possible? How could that person break my connection with the spirit mirror from such a far distance?" Xal'Thul, Xael'Tor's son spoke in a voice filled with fear. "And what was that strange black thing? If my connection hadn't been destroyed, my soul would have been seriously injured just now."

Xal'Thul felt a fear like never before as he thought about the darkness he had seen behind Evan.

"I need to inform His Majesty about this as soon as possible," The four-armed Eldritch Creature muttered in a serious voice as he stood up with difficulty.

He looked at the broken mirror in front of him and remembering the death of his father, a gleam of greed flashed in his eyes.

"Now that he's dead, maybe I can take his position..." He muttered in a low voice, and an expectant smile appeared on his face.

He quickly turned around to leave to inform Emperor Velgoth, but the moment he turned around...

Swish!

A sharp light flashed, two fountains of black blood erupted, and both of Xal'Thul's heads flew into the sky.

The two heads that flew into the air still bore expectant smiles on their faces, and before they fell to the ground and lost the ability to think, they saw another Eldritch Creature who was a bit different from him and Xael'Tor standing in front of his headless body.

The Eldritch Creature who had suddenly killed Xal'thul stood about two meters tall, with dark brown skin, two bulging arms, and a face resembling that of a human.

On the creature's face, there were three eyes—two positioned where a human's eyes would be and a third in the middle of both of the eyes.

The central eye of the Eldritch Creature spun slowly like a whirlpool, emanating a strange and unsettling aura.

"You are as foolish as ever, brother," The Eldritch Creature who killed Xal'thul spoke in a cold voice. "You don't even understand the situation, yet you are eager to choose sides."

As the Eldritch Creature spoke, he gazed at the broken mirror in front of him and the spinning of his middle eye accelerated.

"Even with the World Blessing, he still managed to kill Father. Although His Majesty will soon learn of Father's death, let's delay that knowledge for a while and see what other tricks this invader from the lost world has."
