Necromancer Of The Shadows-Chapter 837 Ancient Alchemy (Part 1)

?Half of Evan's upper body was buried at the bottom of the lake, with most of his bones fractured and internal organs damaged.

The impact of clashing against the turtle's tough shell by falling from a height of fifty thousand meters was already very powerful, and since he used Sky Fall as well, it placed an even greater burden on his body, resulting in a powerful backlash.

After sending a message to Nekros using his shadow senses, Evan immediately used the Death Transfer skill to recover because he had started to lose consciousness due to his severe injuries.

A dark purple light flashed around Evan's body, transferring all the damage he received to one of his shadow undeads. Once he healed himself, Evan pulled his body out from the bottom of the lake and quickly bolted toward the surface.

As Evan moved towards the surface, he noticed that the water of the lake had turned a light shade of red at some point, with the smell of blood permeating the area. Soon, he emerged from the lake, and upon seeing the scene that welcomed him after emerging from the lake, a wide smile appeared on his face.

"So what if your outer defence is very high? There is nothing you can do if someone destroys you from the inside," Evan said to himself as he looked at the giant turtle floating on the surface of the lake with a lifeless look on its face.

Yes, It was dead!

Beside the dead turtle, stood Nekros, whose entire body was covered in blood.

Evan knew that it was impossible for him to kill the turtle using normal means because of its abnormally high defence and the unlimited world essence that it was receiving from the lake.

After considering everything, the only way he could think of killing the turtle was to destroy its internal organs, which were not as tough as its outer defence.

Deciding to break the turtle's shell by taking advantage of Carnage's indestructibility effect, Evan took Nekros, who had used the Size Manipulation skill to shrink its body to the size of a mosquito to the sky.

The reason he brought Nekros along with him was because he knew that the way he was going to break the turtle's shell would be very dangerous, and he might not be able to properly control his body during the operation.

The moment Evan entered the turtle's body after destroying its shell, Nekros, who was with him immediately separated from him and stayed inside its body, while Evan, who couldn't control his body emerged outside by tearing through the turtle's stomach from the inside.

Because Nekros successfully stayed inside the turtle's body, everything became very easy.

Evan simply ordered Nekros to stop using the size manipulation skill, causing it to return to its normal size inside the turtle's stomach and tear its body from the inside.

Even though the turtle's endurance was very high, it couldn't survive after all of its internal organs were destroyed.

Evan looked at the small island where the Frost Vine was located and saw after the turtle's death, the water barrier covering it had disappeared.

"I can finally complete the second trial," Evan said to himself and flew towards the turtle's body floating in the middle of the lake.

"Although damaged, this shell should still be quite useful," Evan muttered and put away the black diamond-shaped shell along with the bloodied body of the turtle inside his shadow storage.

After storing the turtle's body, Evan looked at the island and took a step forward. His body turned into a blur, and he instantly appeared at the edge of the island.

After appearing at the island, Evan didn't immediately move towards the Frost Vine; instead, he first sent one of his shadow undeads toward the vines to check for traps. Luckily, there were no traps on the island and his shadow undeads reached the Frost Vine without encountering any problem.

After confirming it was safe, Evan took another step forward and appeared right beside the Frost Vine. The vine was around five meters long and deep blue in colour.

Upon closer inspection, Evan sensed a large amount of water energy and concentrated world essence inside it.

Feeling a large amount of world essence inside the vine, Evan raised an eyebrow in surprise and used his spiritual senses to scan it. freewe(b)novel.com

Upon scanning the vine using his spiritual senses, Evan found that the roots of the vine reached the very bottom of the island and were connected with the lake.

"Could it be that the turtle was receiving an unlimited supply of world essence from this vine?" Evan wondered when he saw the connection between the vine and the lake.

Although he was curious about the vine, he decided to collect it for the time being to complete the second trial and think about this matter later.

The moment Evan collected the Frost Vine, the list of the herbs he received at the beginning of the second trial flew out of his pocket and hovered in front of him.

Evan looked at the floating list with a curious expression and soon noticed the names of the five herbs on the list started to invert with each other, forming a strange rune on the paper.

Evan raised an eyebrow in surprise when he saw what was happening, but he did not do anything and waited patiently.

In less than a minute, the Rune was completed, and as soon as it was finished, the paper flew towards Evan and attached itself to his body.

Evan looked at the palm of his hand where the paper attached itself and saw it was seeping inside his hand and soon disappearing from his view.

[The second trial has been completed]

The moment the paper seeped into his palm, Evan heard a voice inside his head, and his body started to glow with silver light. Evan turned around to look at the lake behind him, and in just a few seconds, he disappeared from the small island.
