Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1145  A Rank Six Core Evolver?

Evan stared into the distance, where the sky had suddenly turned pitch black and a strong sense of impending crisis overwhelmed him.

The dark, oppressive aura which made the entire Azragoth World tremble was spreading rapidly in all directions, and even though he was millions of kilometres away from the focal point of the disturbance, he still found it difficult to maintain the flow of World Essence within his body.

"A Rank Six Core Evolver... no, I have felt Sylvan and Alaric's auras many times, and this one is definitely weaker than theirs. It must be the aura of a rank five individual, but there is something strange about this aura—like it can somehow cover the entire world," Evan muttered with a frown on his face as he struggled to comprehend what was happening.

He glanced over at Mor'Zarak, who was pressed to the ground under the pressure, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch in exasperation.

'What kind of fake mid-level Rank Three Core Evolver is this guy? Should I just turn him into a Shadow Undead and be done with him?' Evan thought, narrowing his eyes in irritation.

Mor'Zarak, who was pressed to the ground suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and upon sensing the unspoken threat, he quickly forced himself to his feet, looking around with a vigilant expression.

"Do you know what's going on?" Evan's voice rang inside his ears the moment he stood up.

Noticing Evan's narrowed eyes fixed on him, Mor'Zarak realized Evan was seriously considering getting rid of him.

In a panic, he quickly answered, "I am not sure, but it's most likely related to the Eldritch Horrors. That dark aura feels very similar to theirs."

"Eldritch Horrors..." Evan's eyes widened in surprise when he heard Mor'Zarak's words and he recalled why Mor'Zarak had sided with him in the first place.

'A major riot caused by Eldritch Horrors that will affect the entire Eldranthia Empire...' He thought, momentarily shifting his attention away from Mor'Zarak.

"If he is right, and this really is caused by Eldritch Horrors, then this could be the perfect opportunity for me to take advantage of the situation and complete my objectives," Evan muttered quietly, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

Just as he was contemplating how best to exploit the chaos caused by the Eldritch Horrors, he sensed something and turned to look behind him.

As his gaze shifted, his eyes flashed with void energy and his vision pierced through the endless void, settling on a point fifty thousand kilometers away.

The moment he saw what lay in the distance, his eyes widened in shock.

"Holy sh*t!" He cursed loudly.

"How many Eldritch Horrors are in that swarm?" He muttered, his voice heavy with unease as he watched the massive horde of Eldritch Horrors advancing in his direction.

The creature leading the swarm was a mid-level Rank Four Eldritch Horror, and behind it, nearly one hundred thousand horrors followed.

Without waiting for the swarm to get closer, Evan used his wind manipulation skill to lift Mor'Zarak off the ground and ran sideways, intending to avoid the horde.

Although he wasn't afraid of the swarm and was confident he could defeat them, he had no desire to waste his energy in a pointless battle, especially after using his Shadow Resurrection skill just two hours ago to create new shadow undeads.

Over the past two days, as he journeyed toward the Eldranthia Empire, Evan had used his Shadow Resurrection skill repeatedly, increasing the number of his shadow undeads to 45,000.

He only needed to use the skill one more time to reach the limit of his current shadow save, so rather than squandering his energy on a fight with the Eldritch Horrors, he preferred to conserve it for creating more shadow undeads.

After about ten minutes of running, Evan glanced back at the swarm, only to notice that the Rank Four creature leading the horde had changed its direction and was still heading toward him.

"This bastard..." Evan cursed when he saw this and felt something was off.

Without slowing down, he changed his direction once again, but after only a few more minutes of running, he came to a halt and stared back at the swarm with a deadpan expression.

"That damn thing is following me," He muttered in a cold voice and his eyes flashed with killing intent.

He thought for a while and after a moment of silence, he took a deep breath.

"Since this as*hole wants to die, I will fulfilish," He said and w,ithout waiting for the swarm of Eldritch Horrors to reach him, he took a step forward and shot toward them at lightning speed.

As he moved, he glanced inside his shadow storage and his eyes fell on Gobu.

'Now that I have broken through to rank three, the power of my bloodline that I used when I activated Life Steal in the Forbidden Lands of Utopia has fully recovered. Since I can use Life Steal again and I will soon face Velgoth and other powerful people, I might as well use this mid level Rank Four Eldritch Horror to push Gobu to mid-level Rank Four…' Evan thought to himself and stopped looking at Gobu.

In just a few moments, the swarm of Eldritch Horrors came into his sight.

Mor'Zarak was confused because of Evan's seemingly random movements, but he soon noticed the swarm of Eldritch Horrors.

Seeing the swarm of Eldritch Horrors that had covered the entire horizon, turning the sky black as if hundreds of thousands of insects were descending upon them, a chill ran down his spine.

"Fu*k, why are there so many Eldritch Horrors here?!" Mor'Zarak screamed in fright upon noticing the large swarm of Eldritch Horrors and urged Evan to flee.

Evan's face darkened upon hearing Mor'Zarak's bickering and he glared at him with cold eyes.

"Stop screaming like a bit*h or I'll throw you into the middle of that swarm."

Mor'Zarak's face went pale at Evan's icy words and he immediately clamped his mouth shut.

Soon the swarm of Eldritch Horrors was only three thousand meters away from him.

Seeing them so close, Evan's eyes flashed with cold intent and the next second...

"Event Horizon!"

Everything was instantly engulfed in a deep purple chaotic Void Energy.
