Necromancer Of The Shadows

The shockwaves generated because of the collision of two fists tore through the landscape, obliterating everything in their path. Tens of kilometres of terrain crumbled as the impact pulverized rocks into fine dust, shattering trees like brittle glass, and caused the very ground to collapse beneath the immense force unleashed by the collision of two indomitable powers.

Asher slid a few metres backwards because of the impact and the deep orange flames that covered his body were blown away by the force of the impact.

Meanwhile, Evan was sent flying backwards like a broken kite and he spat out a mouthful of blood in mid air. His body slammed into several trees, knocking them down in the process and only after destroying more than ten trees did he manage to regain control of himself.

"F*ck, mana is really useless against those who have reached Rank One and have world essence flowing through their bodies." Evan cursed after he came to a stop and activated his regeneration skill to heal his fractured arm.

He wiped the trickle of blood coming out from the corner of his mouth and stood up. After standing up, when he looked towards Asher, he couldn't help but smirk noticing the surprised expression on his face.

'Even though I'm at the peak of Rank One and using World Essence, he was still able to almost match me in terms of strength and didn't receive any kind of serious injury even after clashing against me head on' Asher thought inwardly and looked at Evan like he was looking at a monster.

"Don't be surprised so soon," Evan said when he saw how Asher was looking at him, "I am just getting started."

Asher was confused when he heard Evan and didn't understand what he was saying, but the next second, his octopus like eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he felt a strange aura enveloping Evan's body.

"This-this... How is this possible?" Asher asked in a shocked voice when he felt the power of conceptual energy that was higher than his world essence coming out from Evan's body.

"How can you use conceptual energy when you are only an S Ranker and have not even transformed your mana into the World Essence?"

Evan didn't answer Asher's question and took a step forward. He activated the flicker step using the shadow energy and arrived in front of Asher in an instant.

Asher was shocked to see Evan appearing in front of him in an instant and could not believe his eyes because Evan's agility was almost equal to his.

A more terrifying aura than last time erupted from Evan's fist and he smiled at Asher after coming in front of him.

"Let's see if you can send me flying like last time."

"You bastard..." Asher roared in anger seeing Evan's provoking smile and flames that were even more powerful than last time covered his body. "Don't you dare underestimate me."

Asher's fire-covered fist and Evan's fist that was covered in different kinds of skills which were activated using shadow energy clashed.

The moment their fists collided with each other, a huge bubble of vacuum began to grow from the centre of impact where Asher's fist and Evan's gauntlet joined. The vacuum bubble rapidly spread outwards in the shape of a sphere. Everything that came into contact with the vacuum bubble turned into nothingness.

In just three seconds, the vacuum bubble covered an area of ten kilometres and everything within that area was completely destroyed. Nate, who was hiding during all this time was forced to run away from there because of their clash.

By the fourth second, Asher and Evan finally felt the world destroying forces that were trying to invade their bodies after the clash.

Boooooooooooooooooom!

Suddenly, the vacuum bubble that was spreading outwards exploded.

"Arghh" Both Evan and Asher spat out blood and were sent flying away like they had been hit by a truck. The space barrier was shattered at the focal point where their fists clashed and a spatial crack that was more than ten metres wide opened there.

Woosh!

The moment the spital crack opened, a powerful suction force erupted from it and it turned into the mouth of an Abyssal Beast that wanted to devour everything. The broken boulders of the ground, dust, shattered trees everything from the surrounding was sucked inside the spital crack. Along with these things, the surrounding mana also rushed towards the spital crack and started to repair it.

It was a good thing that both Asher and Evan were blown far away because of the impact of the clash otherwise they would have been swallowed by the void.

Under the influence of the world mana, the giant spital crack slowly shrank down and the destroyed space barrier returned to normal.

*Cough

Asher spat out a mouthful of blood once he crashed to the ground after being blown away by the impact and noticed his arm was fractured.

"What kind of monstrous physique this bastard have..." Asher asked himself and tried to stand up. Just as Asher stood up, a sudden pressure of gravity engulfed his body. Before he could adapt to the sudden change in gravity, Evan appeared in front of him, his leg turned into a whip and Evan kicked Asher in the face.

Bang!

Blood sprouted out in mid-air as one of the tentacles that were coming out from Asher's head exploded into blood mist because of Evan's kick and he was once again sent flying backwards.

Evan wanted to go after Asher once again, but before he could move, a dangerous aura engulfed his body.

"You bastard, I will burn you alive for ruining my handsome face," He suddenly heard Asher's anger-filled voice and the temperature of the area around him increased.

Woosh!

A ring of fire appeared around Evan, trapping him inside.

Evan wanted to escape from the ring of fire, but before he could do anything, Asher's voice once again rang out.

"Flame Tornado!"

The ring of fire that was trapping Evan suddenly erupted towards the sky and turned into a giant flame tornado that was more than one hundred meters high.

Asher looked at the flame tornado with hateful eyes and rubbed his hand where the destroyed tentacle used to be.

"Damn it, instead of giving him such a quick death, I should have roasted him on the low fire for a few days," Asher muttered in a low voice after wiping the meat paste of the destroyed tentacle. "But since he is already inside that flame torna..."

Before Asher could finish speaking, a bloodthirsty aura engulfed the surroundings.

Amid the deep orange flames of the tornado, a red light suddenly erupted.

"BloodLust" Asher heard Evan's cold voice and the next second...

....Swish!

A huge wind blade that was pitch black in colour split open the flame tornado and Evan walked out of it with a wide smile on his face.
