Necromancer Of The Shadows

In the central area of the first layer, just a few thousand kilometres away from the pillar of half-golden and half black light, a fifty-meter-tall monster that looked like a mammoth was sleeping soundly.

The monster's entire body was covered in light brown fur, two ten-meter-long tusks were coming out of its mouth, and its twenty-five-meter long trunk was coiled around its tusks like a snake.

Suddenly, the long trunk of the mammoth, which was very sensitive twitched slightly as if it smelled something.

The giant mammoth slowly opened its deep red eyes and the aura of a Peak Rank Three monster immediately engulfed the surroundings.

The mammoth lifted its giant head and looked up. Upon looking up, the Peak Rank Three monster saw two streaks of light, one red and one purple coming towards it at rapid speed.

Looking at the two streaks of light that were coming towards it, even though the mammoth was a Peak Rank Three monster, it felt all its instincts screaming and urging it to run away.

The mammoth was one of the strongest beings inside the Tomb of the Ancients, and it was the first time it had felt something like this.

As it was the first time its instincts were screaming like this, it didn't know how to respond and it just looked at the streaks of light which were getting closer.

In just ten seconds, the two streaks of light crossed a distance of a few thousand kilometres and stopped a few hundred meters above the mammoth.

The moment the streaks of light stopped above it, the pressure of the Rank Three mammoth that covered the surrounding area immediately disappeared, and the figures of a red-skinned demon with two horns on top of his head and a handsome-looking middle-aged man appeared in front of the monster's eyes.

"Can you feel it?" Eldrakar asked after stopping above the mammoth.

Baphomet nodded his head upon hearing Eldrakar and looked towards the pillar of light with narrowed eyes.

Both of them obviously didn't stop here because of the mammoth. While coming here, they already encountered a few Peak Rank Three monsters and many other groups of low-level monsters, so it was impossible for the mammoth to attract their attention.

The reason both of them stopped was the same reason as to why the mammoth was sleeping here and wasn't proceeding towards the pillar of light.

"Although it's invisible to the naked eye, I can clearly sense that the area ahead of us is filled with a high amount of Eldritch Energy," Baphomet said in a low voice as he looked towards the pillar of light, trying to see what was inside it. Unfortunately, even though he was a Rank Six Core Evolver, he still couldn't see what was inside the pillar.

Eldrakar was also looking at the area ahead of them with a serious look on his face, his eyes flashing with deep purple-coloured energy.

"The void space of this area is filled with a high amount of Eldritch Energy," Eldrakar suddenly said, his eyes fixed on the area ahead of them.

"You mean..." Hearing Eldrakar, for a moment, Baphomet's eyes opened wide.

"Yes..." Eldrakar nodded his head, confirming Baphomet's guess. "The Eldritch Energy that filled this area is just a small amount of energy that spilt out of the void space due to the high concentration of energy inside it."

"Damn, just what kind of thing can fill the entire void space with Eldritch Energy to the point that the energy is simply spilling out of it," Baphomet muttered with a frown on his face.

Eldrakar didn't answer Baphomet's question because he was also stunned by the discovery. Even the Rank Five Eldritch Creature they fought couldn't fill the Void Space with Eldritch Energy to the point that it started to spill out into normal space.

'Could it be the work of a Rank Six Eldritch Creature?' Eldrakar thought inwardly as he used even more void energy to observe the void space.

"Hmmm?" After a few minutes, Eldrakar suddenly noticed something and a stunned look appeared on his face.

He stopped using his Void Energy to observe the void space and looked towards the pillar of light.

After looking at the pillar for a few seconds, he once again used void energy to observe the void space around the pillar of light.

"The Eldritch Energy that filled the entire void space and this area is actually coming out from that pillar of light," Eldrakar muttered in a low voice while looking at the pillar, wondering as to what was inside it

Baphomet was stunned when he heard Eldrakar and the way he looked at the pillar of light completely changed.

Before, he was not concerned about the pillar of light as he had enough confidence in his strength.

But after hearing Eldrakar, he could tell that the thing inside the pillar of light might not be simple. If he were not inside the Tomb of the Ancient, he wouldn't have cared about the things inside the Tomb as he would have been able to use his full power without any restrictions.

But inside the Tomb, he and Eldrakar couldn't use their full power or the entire dimension might be destroyed.

'Things would become tricky if the thing inside that pillar of light is a Rank Five or Rank Six Eldritch Creature...' Baphomet thought inwardly and looked at the pillar with a pondering look on his face.

Suddenly, Baphomet noticed the Rank Three mammoth below them and his red eyes shined a little.

Until now, he hadn't noticed the Rank Three monster as it was too weak in his eyes, and he couldn't be bothered with it.

But after hearing Eldrakar, he wanted to know a little more about the pillar of light, and the monster below him could provide some information.

Without saying anything, Baphomet took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the giant head of the mammoth.

"Hey, little guy, I want to ask you something."
