Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1148  Krythorion (Part 1)

Void Sealing was a skill Evan had comprehended when his understanding of the conceptual energy of the void had reached 20%.

Using this skill, he had once saved himself in the Tomb of the Ancient when facing Momon in the secret place where Octavius was trapped.

In the past, the Void Sealing skill had been very unstable, which was why Evan only used it when absolutely necessary.

Upon activation, it would seal not only his enemy's powers but his own as well. However, now that Evan's understanding of Void Energy had reached the 75% mark, he had completely eliminated this side effect.

Though this was no easy task, he achieved it by merging the Void Sealing skill with his Zone, making it usable only through his Zone as a medium.

Evan wasn't too concerned by this limitation since it didn't hinder him much.

In fact, it inspired him to further develop this ability, aiming to seal the soul of anyone who entered his Zone.

Currently, after activating Void Sealing, he could seal the powers of his target, both physical and spiritual. Everything would be sealed under the effect of Void Sealing.

Although this effect was incredibly powerful, it consumed a massive amount of energy. Even with his current energy reserves, sealing the powers of a mid-level Rank Four Core Evolver, an opponent nearly an entire realm above him would drain him in less than twenty seconds.

The higher the rank of his enemy, the more energy it took to maintain the seal.

However, Evan had another idea. If he could develop this skill to seal only the soul instead of all the target's powers, it would not only reduce energy consumption but also make the skill more effective.

Once the target's soul was sealed, severing its connection with the physical body, killing the enemy would become much easier and require far less energy.

Because his Zone was specifically designed to target souls, this development was not an impossible task, but it would take time.

"I have the Soul Severance skill, which has a similar effect," Evan thought aloud as he glanced at the grotesque body of the Rank Four Eldritch Horror pinned to the ground by the Halberd of Destruction. "But since all Rank Four Core Evolvers condense their law seals into their souls, it's very difficult to sever the connection between their bodies and souls with just a mere skill. If I want to break that connection in a Rank Four Core Evolver, I need something that can bypass the defence of the Law Seal."

While lost in thought, Evan observed the struggling form of the Eldritch Horror from the sky.

His face was growing visibly paler as the toll of Void Sealing drained his energy reserves, but he didn't dare to rush toward the Eldritch Horror because the Creature was still struggling furiously.

Despite its powers being sealed, the creature thrashed wildly, sending its black blood flying in all directions.

'Damn, the vitality of a Rank Four creature is no joke... ' Evan cursed inwardly and the Halberd of Destruction glowed with golden light, sending waves of destructive energy into the Eldritch Horror's body, gradually weakening its resistance.

Evan wanted to use his Life Steal ability on the Horror to enhance Gobu's rank, so he was careful not to attack recklessly after sealing the creature's powers as he was afraid of killing it because if he killed it, he wouldn't have the opportunity to use Life Steal on it.

The Eldritch Horror's struggles lasted nearly fifty seconds. Even though Evan was continuously absorbing World Essence from other Eldritch Horrors under the effect of Event Horizon, his face had still turned ghostly white from the energy drain after using the Void Sealing skill for fifty seconds.

So the moment Evan noticed the Eldritch Horror's vitality was nearly depleted, he immediately dove down from the sky and without giving the creature any chance to recover, he activated his Life Steal ability.

A golden, ring-shaped field emerged from Evan's body and enveloped the mid-level Rank Four Eldritch Horror.

The moment the creature was engulfed by the golden field, a look of absolute terror crossed its grotesque face, and it began to thrash violently.

However, with its body pinned to the ground by the Halberd of Destruction and its vitality nearly drained, the Eldritch Horror was powerless and its body began to wither.

In just a few minutes, the massive starfish-like creature's grotesque form had shrivelled to a dry skeleton. A light gust of wind swept through the ground, reducing the brittle bones of the creature to powder and scattering them into the air.

In the spot where the Eldritch Horror's body once pinned, a gleaming black orb, pulsating with a powerful aura appeared.

Evan grabbed the orb and without even glancing at it, tossed it into his shadow storage. He then raised his head, looking at the ongoing battle between his shadow undead and the remaining Eldritch Horrors.

Since most of the Rank Three Eldritch Horrors had been wiped out by the energy beams fired by the Rank Four Horror earlier, his shadow undeads found it easier to deal with the remaining creatures.

Their side had a considerable number of Rank Three shadow undeads, providing a distinct advantage.

Additionally, the effect of the Death Ring had caused many Eldritch Horrors to perish without even putting up a fight, further empowering his shadow undeads.

Given these advantages, when Evan glanced up to assess the battle, he saw that most of the Eldritch Horrors were already dead and even without any further effort from him, the fight would soon be over.

Seeing that the situation was fully under control, he sighed and looked down at his severely disfigured arm.

"It's going to take some time to heal this injury..." he muttered to himself, as he turned his gaze to the bodies of the dead Eldritch Horrors.

The corpses of the Horrors were disappearing in the same way as those of the other Eldritch creatures he had killed earlier.

'I wonder why this world absorbs the bodies of everyone who dies here...' He thought quietly, before dismissing the thought and focusing on recovering his energy.

Earlier, he could have used the Void Territory ability to collect the bodies of the Eldritch Horrors before the battle began, but with the presence of a mid-level Rank Four Horror, it would have been extremely difficult to pull them into his Void Territory.

Besides, he was already nearing the limit of his shadow save, so there was no point in wasting his energy on using Void Territory for now.

An hour after Evan had killed the Rank Four Eldritch Horror, his shadow undeads had finished off the remaining Eldritch Horrors.

Once the last of them had fallen, Evan wasted no time and immediately set off toward the Eldranthia Empire, as he wanted to know what was happening with the Eldritch Horrors.
