Chapter 1161 Against The Emperor Velgoth (Part 1)

Chapter 1161 Against The Emperor Velgoth (Part 1)

"The real reason I want to kill you is because there are some people who want you alive— and I won't let those bastards have their way."

Evan was stunned when he heard Emperor Velgoth's words. He had thought of many reasons why Velgoth might have such a strong killing intent toward him, but he never expected the reason to be so strange.

He wanted to kill him simply because someone else wanted him alive, and Velgoth had a grudge against them so by killing him, he wanted to sabotage their plans.

While the reason was unexpected, it only made Evan even more cautious. From Velgoth's cold tone, it was obvious that he absolutely hated whomever it was that wanted Evan alive. But for some reason, he couldn't confront them directly, so he decided to kill Evan instead.

Emperor Velgoth was a Rank Five Core Evolver, and if even he couldn't do anything to those people, it meant they were at least as powerful as him—if not stronger.

'Fu*k my life, don't tell me there Rank Six Core Evolvers coming after me?' Evan thought with a chill running down his spine.

He took a moment to calm his racing thoughts before asking in a low voice, "Who are these people that want to capture me?"

Velgoth sneered when he heard Evan and replied in a cold voice.

"Aren't they just some of your old friends?"

"My old friends..." Evan's heart skipped a beat at Velgoth's words and he immediately realized Velgoth wasn't talking about him—he was talking about Azroth.

When Velgoth's phantom appeared during his breakthrough, he attempted to use Azroth's name to manipulate him, but Velgoth's reaction back then made it clear that he was familiar with the dangers associated with Azroth's name.

Since Velgoth knew of Azroth, it was likely that he had recognized him, despite his current appearance not fully resembling his past self. He was still somewhat similar to Azroth's, except he didn't constantly radiate that chilling cold aura.

'From the way he is speaking, it doesn't sound like the people who want me are Azroth's friends...' Evan's face darkened as he thought back to all of this and he wanted to give Azroth a good beating.

He hadn't even entered the Origin Universe yet, but the enemies Azroth had made in the past were already coming for him.

'Damn, I really was a lunatic bastard in my past life...' Evan cursed inwardly and looked back at Emperor Velgoth, his mind racing.

"Can you tell me more about these people who want me alive?"

Hearing Evan's question, Velgoth's expression remained indifferent, making it clear that he had no intention of revealing anything else.

It wasn't that Velgoth minded answering; now that Evan was standing right in front of him, in his eyes, he was as good as dead so there was little harm in revealing a few things.

However, every topic related to Azroth was sensitive. Velgoth didn't want to accidentally slip up and say something that might invoke the wrong kind of trouble, such as accidentally speaking Azroth's name and getting seriously injured.

Seeing Velgoth's cold and indifferent demeanour, Evan sighed but didn't press further. Velgoth had already revealed more than he had expected, so he wasn't upset.

'Well, the best way to get more information is to turn him into a Shadow Undead, but I need to reach mid-level Rank Four to pull that off...' Evan thought, shaking his head and discarding all unnecessary distractions as his expression grew serious.

Emperor Velgoth noted Evan's change in demeanor and nodded slightly to himself as very few people could regain their calm so quickly after hearing such ominous things.

The barrier behind Emperor Velgoth rippled again, and moments later, a massive swarm of Eldritch creatures began to emerge, marching out one after the other.

In the lead of this horde were three powerful rank four creatures—Morvael, Utharic, and Nythor. Behind them, thousands of Eldritch creatures filled the field, most ranging from Rank One to the peak of Rank Two, with a handful of Rank Three creatures standing among them.

Evan narrowed his eyes as he observed the army of Eldritch Creatures.

Just from a single glance, Evan could tell that all the Eldritch Creatures Velgoth brought with him were far from ordinary as their presence and momentum were far stronger than the previous Eldritch Creatures he had slain.

The Eldritch Creatures continued to swarm out of the barrier one after another, and in mere seconds, an army of over one hundred thousand elite Eldritch Creatures stood behind Emperor Velgoth.

The pressure from Emperor Velgoth's terrifying aura had already been crushing, but now, with an additional hundred thousand creatures on his side, the intensity increased so drastically that even Evan struggled to maintain his position in the sky as the invisible weight forced him downward, closer to the ground.

Feeling the immense pressure radiating from the tens of thousands of creatures, Evan's blood began to boil, and his shadow expanded wildly, stretching over tens of kilometres behind him.

As his shadow widened, powerful auras rose towards the sky and figures began to emerge from its depths, each one brimming with dark energy.

Gobu, Albelu, Rattel, Miss Spider, Nihilus, and the other shadow undeads emerged from the shadow storage and looked at the Eldritch Creatures with their eerie glowing purple eyes.

In just a few moments, fifty thousand shadow undeads stood behind Evan, their chilling presence filling the air.

But things didn't end there as Nihilus raised the bone staff in his hand, and a moment later, an additional sixty thousand skeletons and three colossal bone dragons emerged to stand alongside the shadow undeads.

The atmosphere around them grew heavy with the scent of death and decay as their opposing force pushed back against the powerful aura of the Eldritch army. The clash of the auras of the two forces was so powerful that the space between them began to warp, disordered by the tremendous energy.

Seeing the fifty thousand shadow undeads, Utharic, Nythor, and the other Eldritch Creatures were taken aback. According to what they knew, there were fewer than twenty thousand shadow undeads when Evan had trapped their army within the Void Territory. To now see nearly fifty thousand of these black undeads made their eyes widen in shock.

However, their surprise didn't last long and they quickly recomposed themselves, their eyes turning toward Velgoth, who still stood with an indifferent expression.

'That's right,' They thought to themselves, 'With His Majesty here, it doesn't matter how many small fries this invader summons...'

Thinking that their Emperor was fighting by their side, the Eldritch Creatures glanced back at the massive army of undeads with cold eyes brimming with killing intent.

Noticing that Utharic and the other Eldritch Creatures couldn't wait any longer, Velgoth cast them a glance and gave a slight nod.

Upon receiving this silent command, a fierce glint flashed in Morvael's eyes, and with a loud shout, he charged forward with unmatched speed.

"Kill!"

The other Eldritch Creatures followed after him, their roars echoing as they rushed toward Evan's army of undeads, their fierce momentum shook the battlefield, their collective bloodlust turning the air into a storm of wrath and destruction.

Gobu and the other shadow undeads were not afraid of the incoming onslaught, and seeing the Eldritch Creatures charging toward them, a savage power radiant from their bodies and they also moved forward.

Under the oppressive auras of both armies, everything within a thousand kilometres began to tremble.

The ground itself quaked beneath the weight of their combined presence and the sounds of battle began to roar through the landscape as the first clashes of weapons rang out and blood spurted across the battlefield.

The sky, already dimmed with an orange-red hue turned completely black as the violent storm of war ignited, signaling the start of a battle that would in future, spark the second war between the Primordials.
