Necromancer Of The Shadows

"It seems your courage has increased quite a bit in the last few thousand years, Void Goblin," Azroth said in an indifferent voice upon appearing in front of Eldrakar and Baphomet.

'Void Goblin...' Baphomet nearly choked when he heard what Azroth called Eldrakar, but he did not say anything and just examined the man in front of him.

Although he couldn't properly evaluate Azroth's power level as his aura was very strange and chaotic, he felt danger just by looking at him, indicating that he was not weak.

Eldrakar's face turned ugly when he heard what Azroth called him, and he clenched his fists tightly.

"How are you still alive?" He asked in a hoarse voice.

Azroth's expression didn't change upon hearing Eldrakar and he asked in a plain voice. "Is it strange that I am alive?"

"You should have been dead. After all, it would have been impossible for him to appear if you were still alive," Eldrakar said as he looked at Baphomet, who was standing beside him.

All of them know that the number of Monarch Physique holders can't exceed five and including Baphomet, there were already five Monarch Physique holders.

Evan had also heard about this from Cedar when he told him about Utopia, so he was also curious about this matter.

Although he was curious, currently his attention was focused on a completely different thing.

'Just make them retreat or throw them out of the Tomb. We don't need to waste our time with them,' Evan said to Azroth in an anxious voice.

When Azroth appeared some distance away from the pillar of light, Evan felt Elora's presence coming from inside it. Moreover, for some reason, his connection with her was getting weaker and weaker with each passing second, which made him anxious.

Azroth ignored what Evan said and glanced at Baphomet. He wanted to confirm a few things, and this was the best chance for him.

Just when he was about to ask Baphomet something...

Crack!

He heard the low sound of something cracking. The sound was so low that even Evan, who was with Azroth didn't hear it.

Azroth looked at Evan's Primordial Monarch Core and saw a small crack, the size of a sand grain on it.

Although the crack was very small, Azroth's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this, and he knew he couldn't stay here for long.

Although the foundation of the Primordial Monarch Core was perfect, it was still very hard for it to endure such great power when it was just at the beginner level of Rank Two.

'I wanted to teach him a few more ways to use shadow energy and how to integrate the Primordial Shadow Realm with his core in the future, but it seems like he will have to explore these things on his own...' Azroth thought when he noticed the crack on the core and looked back at Baphomet and Eldrakar with indifferent eyes.

When Baphomet and Eldrakar saw the look in Azroth's eyes, their faces changed as they could feel Azroth was not in the mood to talk anymore.

The space of the entire tomb had already collapsed, showing a pitch-black void. Only a few thousand kilometres of area around the pillar of light remained intact and was protected because of the sealing energy that was coming out of the pillar of light, which even sealed the space, preventing it from collapsing.

Although Baphomet felt Azroth was powerful, he did not believe that he would lose.

When he noticed Azroth was about to make a move, he didn't wait for him to attack.

A small flame symbol appeared in both of his eyes and in order to avoid the effect of the killing intent that the red eye in the sky was releasing, Baphomet also released his own killing intent and was about to activate his Eyes of Destruction.

Eldrakar was also ready to attack Azroth, but when he felt Baphomet release his killing intent, his face changed and he shouted, "Stop..."

Although Eldrakar reacted very quickly, he was still too late.

The moment Baphomet released his killing intent, the red eye that was looking down at everyone coldly from the sky glowed and...

*Cough*

Baphomet suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood and a painful expression crossed his face.

'F*UK, what just happened?' The demon cursed inwardly, feeling as if someone had pierced his soul with thousands of needles.

"We are going back," Eldrakar suddenly said in a serious voice even before Baphomet could understand what was happening.

"What?" Baphomet was stunned when he heard Eldrakar and he looked at him in shock.

'Is he thinking about running away?'

"The Tomb is about to collapse. Once the portal of the Tomb is completely destroyed, we won't be able to leave and will be trapped here," Eldrakar explained with a serious look on his face.

They had entered the Tomb by creating a channel through the void space. If the portal was fully destroyed, the channel Eldrakar had created would also collapse and they wouldn't be able to leave the Tomb.

'I don't want to be trapped here with this monster...' Eldrakar thought and opened a void rift near him.

Baphomet didn't want to leave the Tomb as he felt it was akin to running away from Azroth. However, he also didn't want to be trapped inside the Tomb, so he said nothing when Eldrakar opened the void rift.

"Did I give you permission to leave ?" A cold voice suddenly echoed the moment Eldrakar opened the void rift.

But Eldrakar didn't care about the voice and decided to jump inside in rift. He was certain that once he entered the void space, even Azroth wouldn't be able to stop him.

When Azroth saw Baphomet and Eldrakar jumping inside the void rift, his eyes flashed.

(You have @#&&@... )

(@##&@@... )

Strange notifications flashed in front of Evan, who was observing everything from the dark space and the next second, something that shocked him to the core happened.

"What the hell?" Evan shouted as he saw Eldrakar and Baphomet, who were about to enter the void rift, suddenly stop mid-air as if time had frozen around them.

As Evan was looking at them, another notification flashed in front of him.

(You have forcefully used your Authority: Temporal Pause)

Azroth took a step forward and appeared beside Baphomet and Eldrakar, who were suspended mid-air in front of the rift.

After coming beside them, he lifted one of his hands. His hand glowed with Primordial Shadow Energy, and he slashed down.

"Soul Slash!" His cold voice rang out as he cut off Eldrakar and Baphomet's left arms.

Once their arms were severed, Azroth threw them into the void rift and the effect of the Temporal Pause Authority ended.

The moment the effect of Temporal Pause ended, the void rift in front of them closed, but Azroth didn't care about it.

'If they think they can escape from here after entering the Void Space, then they are just dreaming,' Evan heard Azroth's indifferent voice and saw his eyes flashing with cold light.

Seeing the cold look in Azroth's eyes, Evan gulped down his saliva and felt something was not right.

'Why do I feel that those two people made a big mistake by entering the Void Rift?'
