Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Flicker Step," Evan used his flicker step skill and took a step forward. As he took a step forward, his appearance started to change. Deep orange flames appeared around him, his height increased to 210 CM and his body turned completely black. His eyes turned deep red and a powerful aura burst forth from his body.

"Shadow Possession," Evan muttered and along with Flicker Step, used the shadow possession skill to merge himself with Asher.

It was the first time Evan had merged himself with Asher using the shadow possession skill and he was shocked because of the power that was surging within his body after merging with Asher.

Because of the flicker step and the boost provided by the shadow possession skill, Evan appeared in front of the void crack in an instant.

The Eldritch Creature who was sleeping within the void crack obviously noticed the energy fluctuations the moment Evan used his shadow possession and flicker step skill and was jolted awake.

Although it woke up as soon as it felt the energy fluctuations, it was still not fast enough to respond to Evan's attack.

The moment Evan arrived in front of the void crack, his spiritual power moved. Without holding back even an ounce of his spiritual power, Evan activated the soul needle artefact with all of his strength.

--) Soul Needle (Rank One High Grade Spiritual Artefact): A spiritual artefact that can directly attack the soul of the target. Before using this artefact, the user has to refine it using their spiritual power.

During the one month time that Evan spent in World Domain in order to wait for the cool down time for his authority to end, he had refined the Soul Needle with his spiritual power and could now use it freely

Evan's spiritual power was already comparable to a Peak Rank One Core Evolver even without using the shadow possession skill, and now that he had merged himself with Asher who was also at the peak of Rank One, Evan's spiritual power was already stronger than a newly promoted Rank Two Core Evolver.

Although it might still be a bit weaker than Claire after she broke through to Rank Two as she was specialized in spiritual attacks, Evan still believed that he would be able to at least injure the Eldritch Creature using the Soul Needle even if his spiritual power was weaker than Claire.

Some people might be wondering how Evan could use his spiritual power to injure the eldritch creature if his spiritual power was weaker than Claire's

The reason Evan thought that he would be able to injure the Eldritch Creature was because he knew that the Eldritch Creature was specialised in spiritual attacks, meanwhile, when Claire attacked it, she was not aware of this fact.

Because of not knowing about this fact, she did not use all of her spiritual power when she attacked the Eldritch Creature, thinking that she would be able to kill it even without using her full spiritual power, after all, it was just a Rank One Creature and she was at the Rank Two.

But Evan didn't care about the Rank of the Eldritch Creature, although it was just a Rank One Creature, he didn't hold back even a little bit and used all of his spiritual power to strengthen the soul needle.

Evan felt a bit dizzy because of using all of his spiritual power in order to strengthen the soul needle. The moment all of Evan's spiritual power was drained, a small needle shot out from the centre of his eyebrows.

The small needle was releasing a sharp spiritual aura, making one's soul shudder in fear.

The moment the soul needle went inside the void crack...

.... Aughhhh!

A strange painful voice that was filled with spiritual power came out from it.

*Cough

Evan coughed out a mouthful of blood when the painful voice of the Eldritch Creature that was filled with spiritual power reached his ears.

'Fu*k, the spiritual power of this Eldritch Creature is off the charts' Evan cursed inwardly when he realized even the voice of the Eldritch Creature was filled with spiritual power.

If he was in normal condition, he would have easily defended himself against such a spiritual attack. But now his spiritual power was completely dried up as he had used up all of his spiritual power in the soul needle.

Because of the spiritual voice of the Eldritch Creature, Evan's vision turned blurry. Although his vision turned a little blurry because of the spiritual attack of the Eldritch Creature, Evan was sure that the Creature was definitely injured because of the soul needle and it was his best chance to close the void crack.

Ignoring the headache he was feeling because of his low spiritual energy, Evan looked at the void crack and noticed the Eldritch Energy that was covering the crack thinned out a lot.

'Although the Eldritch Energy thinned out a lot it is still not enough,' Evan said with an ugly look on his face when he noticed the Eldritch Energy around the edges of the void crack.

"I need to do something so that the Eldritch Creature stop using its energy to maintain the void crack..." Evan muttered and was about to attack again when something unexpected happened.

"Aughhh" The Eldritch Creature once again used the same spiritual attack that it used earlier.

*Cough

Evan's mind went blank for a split second because of the lack of spiritual energy and he once again coughed out blood. Before he could recover from the attack...

... Woosh!

A deformed hand came out of the void crack and hit him right on the chest.

Boom!

A booming sound echoed out, and Evan was sent flying backwards in the essence corridor as if he had been hit by a truck.

Evan spat out a large amount of blood in mid air and felt his head spinning. Although his head was spinning because of the lack of spiritual power, Evan gritted his teeth and balanced himself in mid air.

After regaining his balance, he quickly looked towards the void crack, but the moment he looked at the void crack, Evan's face turned pale because he saw some deformed limbs were coming out of the void crack and were widening it so that the Eldritch Creature could leave the crack and enter the essence corridor.

"Fu*k, I shouldn't have used all of my spiritual power in that attack earlier," Evan cursed when he noticed the Eldritch Creature was coming out of the void crack.

Although Evan did not know how powerful the Eldritch Creature was, he at least knew that in his current condition, there was no way he would be able to resist the spiritual attacks of this Eldritch Creature whose soul is far stronger than even a normal Rank Two Core Evolvers.
