Necromancer Of The Shadows

Evan had received the Gaze of Monarch skill in the Arora World when some of the soul seals placed on his soul shattered for the first time (Chapter 585).

Due to the destruction of the soul seals, his spiritual power increased greatly and he acquired the Gaze of Monarch skill.

However, even after receiving the skill, he was unable to use it because it was locked, requiring him to create fifty thousand shadow undeads before it could be used.

Evan had always been puzzled as to why he needed fifty thousand shadow undeads to unlock the skill, but now that he had finally unlocked it, he understood the reason.

In order to use the Gaze of Monarch skill, a tremendous amount of spiritual power was required. Due to the sheer volume of spiritual power needed to activate this skill, it was nearly impossible for him to activate this skill using only his own spiritual energy.

But one of the abilities of the Gaze of Monarch skill is to draw a small amount of spiritual power from each of his shadow undeads to sustain itself.

Although the skill only takes a small amount of spiritual power from each individual shadow undead, the combined contribution of spiritual energy from fifty thousand shadow undeads was immense.

While the Gaze of Monarch skill remained active, it would constantly siphon a bit of spiritual power from all his shadow undeads to sustain itself.

Of course, even though the shadow undeads would contribute to the skill's spiritual power needs, the primary source of energy would still come from Evan himself. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Drawing on his undead's spiritual power doesn't mean he can avoid using his own energy. On the contrary, his personal consumption was still far greater than theirs. The ability to use the spiritual power of his shadow undeads was only meant to alleviate a small portion of the burden, but he still had to bear the bulk of the spiritual cost.

Although this skill was very demanding, its effects were equally impressive.

Paralyzing thousands of enemies with the sheer amount of killing intent was merely one of the basic abilities of the Gaze of Monarch skill.

There were still several other abilities Evan had yet to test, but he did not do so, primarily because they required even more spiritual energy to activate.

For now, he was in a hurry to reach the Eldranthia Empire, so he didn't want to expend too much of his spiritual energy, knowing it would hinder his combat ability if he encountered any dangers on the way.

Not only that, in future, as his spiritual power and the number of shadow undeads under his command increased, more abilities of the Gaze of Monarch would unlock.

"Now I can finally grasp what kind of monster that bastard Azroth was. In the Tomb of the Ancient, he used the Gaze of Monarch skill to affect an area spanning millions of kilometres using only his own spiritual power without the help of even a single shadow undead—and that power came just from a fragment of his soul. If the real Azroth had used the Gaze of Monarch skill himself, he might have been able to affect the entirety of Utopia even from inside the Tomb of the Ancient..." Evan muttered, his mouth twitching as he realized he was still just a noob compared to his former self.

He took a deep breath to clear away unnecessary thoughts and stepped forward.

Activating his void manipulation authority, he created a very small void channel, barely visible to the naked eye in front of him.

The void channel pulled Evan in, and a second later, another small void channel opened near Mor'Zarak's hiding place, sending him out.

The entire process happened in mere microseconds, making it seem as though Evan had teleported from one location to another when, in reality, he had used the void channel to move himself across space.

Upon returning, Evan saw the group of Eldritch Horrors still recovering from the effects of his Gaze of Monarch skill.

Without wasting any time, he used his wind manipulation ability to unleash a barrage of sharp wind blades, tearing every single one of the Horrors to shreds.

Since they had yet to fully recover from the paralyzing effect of the killing intent, none of them were able to defend themselves, and they were promptly sliced to pieces.

After slaughtering all the Eldritch Horrors, Evan cast a quick glance at the rock where Mor'Zarak was hiding and without a word, he turned and resumed his path toward the Eldranthia Empire.

Mor'Zarak, still trembling from the lingering killing intent hesitated only for a moment before quickly chasing after him, terrified to be left behind.

As Evan approached the main area controlled by the Eldranthia Empire, he passed by several small towns and cities built as outposts to monitor the empire's outer territories.

However, each town and city he encountered was eerily deserted, with no sign of life anywhere.

When Evan saw the situation of these towns and cities, his expression darkened.

"It seems my suspicions were right. Emperor Velgoth is preparing to flee this world along with the other Eldritch Creatures using the World Passage," He muttered with a deep frown on his face, unable to comprehend why Emperor Velgoth wanted to abandon Azragoth World.

"I need to move faster..." Realizing that Emperor Velgoth might escape Azragoth World before he could reach him, Evan's eyes flickered with a deep purple light.

In an instant, both he and Mor'Zarak vanished from their position, reappearing tens of thousands of kilometres away.

Evan repeated this process multiple times, using his void abilities to cover vast distances in a matter of seconds.

However, every time he depleted about 30% of his energy, he would stop and recover before continuing his rapid journey. Despite his urgency, he maintained control over his energy, knowing that he would need to conserve strength in case something unexpected happened.

As Evan moved toward the Eldranthia Empire, he intentionally ceased concealing his presence, allowing Emperor Velgoth—who still held considerable control over the Azragoth World—to sense him.

By doing this, Evan hoped that Velgoth would detect his approach and come out to confront him in order to prevent him from disrupting his escape plan.

Time flowed steadily, and by using the power of Void Energy, Evan drastically reduced the time needed to reach the Empire and in less than eight hours after unlocking the Gaze of Monarch skill, he finally arrived at his destination.
