Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1153  Reaching The Limit (Part 2)

After killing all the Eldritch Horrors and using the Life Steal ability on the mid-level Rank Four Horror, Evan flew towards the Eldranthia Empire, his gaze fixed on the distant black aura that continued to rise.

His right hand, which had been completely disfigured earlier during the fight with the Eldritch Horror was glowing with a faint green light and under the effect of the healing potion and his regeneration skill, it was returning to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As he moved, Evan couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong with the Eldritch Horror whose aura was rapidly spreading throughout the world.

He knew the Eldritch Horror releasing its aura was tens of millions of kilometres away, yet for some reason; it was still able to spread it across the entire world as if the world itself was helping it.

'Could it be that this Eldritch Horror is similar to Emperor Velgoth, and it can also control part of the world like him?' Evan thought with narrowed eyes, feeling that it was possible.

He glanced at Mor'Zarak, who was flying beside him with an absent expression, and asked with a frown, "Do you know what method Emperor Velgoth used to control most of Azragoth World?"

Hearing Evan's voice, Mor'Zarak snapped out of his thoughts and looked at him with a complicated expression, still finding it hard to believe that the Rank Three Core Evolver before him had killed a mid-level Rank Four Horror. He took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions and spoke in a low tone.

"I have heard a few things from my father. According to him, Emperor Velgoth refined the core of Azragoth World, allowing him to control most things here. However, due to the dense Eldritch Energy in the outer regions of the world, around thirty percent of Azragoth World is contaminated by it, making it impossible for Emperor Velgoth to control that area."

Evan frowned at Mor'Zarak's words, his gaze returning to the black aura in the distance.

"Does that mean the thirty percent contaminated World is fully under the control of an Eldritch Horror, just like the 70% under Emperor Velgoth's control?"

"That's what my father told me," Mor'Zarak nodded.

Evan's frown deepened when he saw Mor'Zarak nodding in confirmation. If what Mor'Zarak said was true, then there was only one reason he could think of for why the Eldritch Horror was able to spread its aura throughout the world.

'Its control over Azragoth World is increasing beyond the initial 30%...' He thought to himself, but he couldn't figure out why its control over the world had suddenly increased.

He thought about many possibilities and suddenly remembered how Emperor Velgoth's phantom had abruptly ran away during their fight.

'Mor'Zarak told me that Emperor Velgoth is planning to leave this world using the World Passage. Now that the Eldritch Horror's control over the world is suddenly increasing, could it be that Emperor Velgoth is ready to leave and is deliberately reducing his own control over the world to cause problems for me?' Evan thought and his expression turned extremely grim, feeling a sense of urgency.

But he soon took a few deep breaths to calm himself and shook his head.

'These are just guesses. Maybe the real reason is something else...' He consoled himself and increased his speed, wanting to reach the Eldranthia Empire as soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen accidents.

As Evan moved, he came across a few more groups of Eldritch Horrors, but unlike the group of mid level Rank Four one, these groups were very small and he easily avoided them.

'It seems that Eldritch Horror is using its control over the world to send the groups of Eldritch Horrors towards the Eldranthia Empire at faster speed...' Evan thought to himself as he avoided another group of Eldritch Horrors.

Three hours later, Evan had fully healed from his injuries and recovered most of the energy that he had consumed during his fight against the rank-four Eldritch Horror.

After recovering his energy, he glanced at Mor'Zarak.

"Wait here. I will be back in a few minutes," He said and disappeared instantly.

Mor'Zarak was stunned by Evan's sudden departure, and before he could ask where he was going, he realized Evan had already vanished.

"He is not planning to ditch me here, right?" Mor'Zarak muttered, feeling extremely nervous as the powerful aura of the Eldritch Horror spread in all directions.

As the aura expanded, he recalled the vision he had seen—the vision of Eldritch Horrors destroying all of Azragoth World—and his heart trembled.

'Damn it, I hope he remembers his promise to take me away from here and doesn't leave me to die.'

Unaware of Mor'Zarak's concerns, and uninterested in them, Evan appeared in the void space. However, compared to before, the void felt unusually chaotic.

"Is this disturbance related to what's happening in Azragoth World?" Evan raised an eyebrow at the abnormality in the void space but didn't dwell on it.

From his shadow storage, he summoned Gobu and retrieved the black pearl he had created using the Life Steal ability.

He examined the pearl for a moment before tossing it to Gobu.

"Go ahead," He said as Gobu caught the pearl.

Without hesitation, Gobu swallowed the black pearl. The moment he did, his aura began to fluctuate, and his rank started rising rapidly.

Evan was already familiar with this process, so he paid it little mind.

Instead of focusing on Gobu, with a thought, he summoned five thousand more corpses from his shadow storage, ready to increase the number of his shadow undeads to the limit of shadow save.

As the five thousand corpses floated in the void, Evan activated his Shadow Resurrection skill. The moment he used it, the Primordial Shadow Energy within his core began depleting at a rapid speed, and soon, five thousand new shadow undeads appeared before him.

Evan smiled slightly as he observed the newly created shadow undeads.

Just as he was about to summon them back into his shadow storage, two unexpected notifications flashed before his eyes.

(The number of your shadow undeads has reached 50,000.)

(Your skill 'The Gaze of the Monarch' has been unlocked.)
