Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Hahahaha, It's my first time seeing such a strange family," Evan and the others suddenly heard a booming laughter, followed by the amused voice of an old man and saw at some point, a thin-bodied man in his sixties, wearing a long white robe appeared in the middle of the stadium.

Evan and the others instantly went on high alert when they saw the old man because no one had sensed his presence before he attracted their attention.

"You are a very lucky person, young man," The old man said while looking at Evan in admiration. "You have a son who is very talented and will definitely become a high-level core evolver, and a sister who is a flaming chic*—cough, I mean a phoenix."

Blaze looked at the man with lifeless eyes, her face literally saying, 'You were about to call me a flaming chicken as well, right?'

The old man once again coughed when he noticed Blaze's lifeless look and wisely ignored it.

"As someone who always wanted to have a good talented family but died before accomplishing that dream, I really envy you for having such a talented family," The old man said in a sad voice and sighed heavily.

Walter and Blaze wanted to retort that they were not this bastard family but didn't say anything when they saw the old man lost in his own world.

Other than Evan, Blaze, Walter, and Momon had an idea about the identity of the old man, and according to the records they read, the old man's personality was quite...unique, and they did not want to attract his attention for no reason.

"Family, huh..." The old man came out of his thoughts when he heard Evan's voice and saw him looking at Walter and Blaze with a gentle smile on his face.

Blaze and Walter cringed when they saw Evan's gentle smile and felt like throwing up.

"I wish I also had a son and sister like them. If I had someone like them, I might have become a Rank Six core evolver by refining their bodies and taking their talent for myself." The old man muttered in envy when he saw Evan looking at Blaze and Walter with a gentle smile.

The gentle smile on Evan's face stiffened when he heard the old man's muttering and he looked at him with his eyes wide open.

"Ummm...sorry, but can you repeat what you just said?" Evan spoke to the old man while trying his best to keep a straight face.

"Huh?" The old man looked at Evan in confusion and repeated himself. "I said if I had a talented son and sister like them, I might have crossed the boundary of Rank Five and become a Rank Six core evolver by taking their talent for myself."

'What the fu*k is this bastard talking about?'

Evan wasn't shocked when heard the old man.

Yes! He wasn't shocked.

Calling it shock would be an understatement, because he was freaking out, litterly speaking.

Earlier, when he heard the old man talking about how he always wanted to have a good family, he thought this guy was someone like an old grandpa who lives next door and treats kids with cheap candies.

But after hearing what he just said, that impression went to gutter.

'Don't tell me this old man wanted a good family so that he can take away their talent for himself using a demonic method...' Evan started to sweat when he realized this and looked at Walter and others.

When he looked at Walter and others, he saw they were not surprised hearing the old man, which only meant one thing.

'They already have information about this man...' Evan said inwardly and felt like cursing because he was clearly at a disadvantage here due to his lack of knowledge about the man.

"All right, there is no point in talking about the past. I am already dead and can't create a talented family anymore..." The old man suddenly said and clapped his hands. "Let's start the last trial and end this sh*t once and for all."

The moment the old man clapped his hands, a transparent cube flashing with different colours of light appeared in front of him.

Fwshhhhhh!

The moment the transparent cube appeared, a strange aura engulfed the surroundings.

"This _" Evan narrowed his eyes when he felt the aura released by the cube as it was the same aura that he felt outside of the cave.

"What are these different colours of light flashing inside the cube?" Evan muttered in a low voice as he looked at the different colours of lights flashing inside the cube like a disco ball.

The eyes of Blaze, Walter, and Momon flashed with greed when they saw the cube, and a look of desire appeared on their faces. Evan raised an eyebrow when he noticed the change in Blaze's and others' expressions and understood they knew something about the cube.

The old man nodded his head in satisfaction upon seeing the greed-filled eyes of Blaze and others.

"I know all of you are here because of this, but know that it is not easy to get this thing," The old man said while looking at the cube and was about to continue when he heard Evan's voice.

"Ummm, what is this thing?"

Hearing Evan, the old man and the others looked at him with strange looks on their faces.

"Young man, don't tell me you don't know about this thing?" The old man asked while pointing at the cube, "No, forget about this thing. Do you know who I am?"

Hearing the old man, Evan just looked at him with an expression that was saying, 'Who are you?'

"Seriously, you don't know me. You don't know about the great Octavius."

The old man looked at Evan with a baffled expression on his face, as if he had just witnessed something impossible.

Seeing that Evan really didn't know anything about him, the old man's body started to shake, and a dangerous aura started to come out of his body. Blaze, Walter, and Momon looked at Evan with pity-filled eyes as if he were a dead man.

Evan obviously noticed the change in the old man's aura, but he completely ignored it because the moment the old man released his aura, Evan felt something and his gaze shifted towards the cube that was hovering in front of the old man.

'That cube...' Evan's eyes glowed for a moment and he used the Eyes of the Abyss ability of Gobu to examine the cube.

"Holy sh*t..." The moment Evan looked at the cube using the Eyes of the Abyss, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

"So that's how it is, huh..." But the shocked look on his face soon disappeared, and his lips arched upwards.

'Let's see how long you keep up this act...' Evan said to himself and activated one of his skills just for a split second. The moment Evan activated the skill, the dangerous aura the old man was releasing instantly disappeared and he looked at Evan with terror-filled eyes.

Seeing the terror-filled look of the old man, a sadistic smile appeared on Evan's face that sent a shiver down the old man's spine.
