Necromancer Of The Shadows-Chapter 965 Inside The Pillar Of Light (Part 1)

Evan walked in front of the pillar of light and looked at it with a frown on his face.

"How do I enter?" He muttered to himself as he looked at the shaking pillar.

He tried to touch the golden part of the pillar to see if he could enter, but the moment his hand came into contact with it, a repelling force pushed him back.

Evan raised an eyebrow when he saw this and walked towards the black part of the pillar, but the same thing happened when he touched it.

"What's going on here?" Evan was confused when he wasn't able to enter the pillar of light and looked at it carefully.

He circled around the altar, trying to find an opening. As he circled around and arrived at the other end of the altar, he noticed a small part of the light pillar was slowly fading away, turning into an opening that he could use to enter.

Seeing the fading light, he quickly walked towards it and stopped a few meters away.

While waiting for the light to completely fade away, he looked into his shadow storage and took out seven dead bodies of the monsters.

All the dead bodies were releasing the aura of beginner-level rank three monsters and were in good condition.

Now that he was a mid-level Rank Two Core Evolver, he could create beginner-level rank three shadow undeads.

All the dead bodies were releasing the aura of beginner-level rank three monsters and were in good condition.

Now that he was a mid-level Rank Two Core Evolver, he could create beginner-level rank three shadow undeads.

Azroth told him to be careful after entering the pillar, and rank three shadow undeads would be a great help if he encountered any danger.

"Shadow Resurrection!"

After taking out the bodies of the monsters, Evan used his skill. This time, after activating the skill, he tried to understand how the shadow energy was turning the monsters into shadow undeads.

After seeing the way Azroth used the shadow energy, Evan realized just how sloppy his way of using the Shadow Energy was.

Although he did not fully understand how Azroth revived the rank six dragon or how he separated the conceptual energy of life from the shadow energy, he was sure he would get his answer if he invested enough time in studying shadow energy.

As the shadow energy moved from his core to the bodies of the Rank Three monsters, Evan couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"Damn, I lost more than half of my shadow energy to turn them into shadow undeads."

Evan currently had 2000 points of shadow energy, but turning the seven monsters into shadow undeads used nearly 1600 points.

"If I hadn't received a good boost in my shadow energy after becoming a mid-level Rank Two Core Evolver, I wouldn't have been able to turn all of them into shadow undeads," Evan said as he saw seven rank three shadow undeads rise in front of him.

Among the seven, the strongest was a hundred-meter-long snake-type monster, followed by a twenty-meter tall ice titan bear, who was the first rank three monster Evan encountered after entering the first layer.

Soon, the small part of the pillar of light faded away and a two meter wide opening appeared in front of him.

Evan took a deep breath when he saw the opening and was about to step forward to enter when suddenly...

Wgahhhh!

A monster with twisted limbs and a face even scarier than Volac jumped in front of the opening out of nowhere, scaring the sh*t out of Evan.

"Fu*k..." Evan jumped back and shot a shadow bullet towards the monster reflexively.

But the moment the shadow bullet came into contact with the opening of the pillar, it shattered into small pieces and disappeared.

"What the—" Seeing his shadow bullet was ineffective, Evan was stunned but upon closer look, he realized the monster couldn't leave the pillar through the opening and was just madly attacking it.

Seeing the monster couldn't leave the pillar, Evan sighed in relief and finally inspected it.

"This is..." Upon closer look, it didn't take him long to recognize the monster.

Although Evan had never seen it before, it was still very easy for him to recognize the monster. 𝖋𝔯𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝖇𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝖈𝔬𝖒

A three meters tall body, dark purple skin, three eyes on the centre of its forehead, a mouth without lips showing sharp teeth and twisted limbs coming out of its body.

"Eldritch Goblin..." Evan muttered in a low voice and narrowed his eyes.

Because of the information he received when he created Gobu and it turned into an Eldritch Goblin, he knew that there were Eldritch Goblins inside the Tomb of the Ancient, but he had not encountered them until now.

"To think these Goblins are actually inside the pillar of light..." Evan muttered in a low voice and took a deep breath.

He tried to gauge the rank of the monster, but the pillar was blocking its aura, so he couldn't guess it.

"As long as it is not a Peak Rank Three one, it should be fine..." Evan said and tried to send his shadow undeads inside the pillar.

But when his shadow undeads tried to enter the pillar, a force repelled them back.

Evan frowned when he saw this and called back the shadow undeads.

"It seems they can't enter without me," Evan muttered and summoned the rank three shadow undeads he created back into his shadow storage.

After summoning back his shadow undeads, he activated his Shadow Forge skill and his shadow turned into armour, covering his body.

He used the purple flame of the Prismatic Fire and increased the power of the armour even more.

Once he was done with preparation, Evan looked at the three-meter-tall Eldritch Goblin and walked towards the opening.

"It will attack me the moment I enter..." He said in a low voice and took a step forward, stepping inside the pillar.

When the Eldritch Goblin saw Evan entering the pillar, its three sullen eyes flashed with darkness and its twisted arms started to swell up as if it were gathering energy.

The moment Evan stepped inside, the goblin laughed like a madman and swung its arm towards him.

"Temporal Velocity!"

The flow of time slowed down in Evan's eyes and in slow motion, he watched the Eldritch Goblin's arm coming towards him.

Just as the goblin's arm was about to hit him, he shifted his body slightly, dodging its attack by a hair's breadth.

The Eldritch Goblin didn't expect Evan to dodge its attack and its three eyes showed a look of surprise.

After dodging the goblin's attack, Evan's arm moved at lightning speed and he grabbed the goblin's twisted hand that it used to attack him.

After grabbing its hand, he used its own momentum against it and before the goblin could regain its balance, he slammed it down to the hard ground using all of his strength.

BooooooM!

The ground inside the pillar of light was made of hard stone and when Evan slammed down the goblin, the stone cracked and spider web-like patterns spread in all directions.

*Cough*

The Goblin coughed out a mouthful of dark purple-colored blood and its internal organs trembled due to the impact.

While slamming down the goblin, Evan took a look at the monster and immediately perceived its rank.

'Mid Level Rank Three.'

If it was before, Evan would have had to work hard to defeat such an opponent, but now that he was a mid-level Rank Two Core Evolver, he didn't fear the mid-level Rank Three monsters.

The Eldritch Goblin was still trying to understand what just happened, but Evan had no intentions of wasting his time with it, so while the monster was still dazed after being slammed down to the ground, he covered his hand in the red destructive fire of the Prismatic Flame.

The Prismatic Flame was bound to Evan, and now that he was a mid-level Rank Two Core Evolver, the power of the flame was far higher than its previous power.

As the red flame burned in Evan's palm, the space around it trembled and shook violently.

The Eldritch Goblin, who was lying flat on the ground suddenly felt a frightening aura coming from Evan and immediately came back to its senses.

"Werghh!"

The goblin roared in fury and a large amount of Eldritch Energy gathered around its body, protecting it from any harm and ready to burst at any second.

Evan felt a chilling feeling emitting from the Eldritch Energy that gathered around the goblin, but he didn't back away. Instead, he punched down at the goblin's face with full strength.

When Evan's fist came down, the Eldritch Goblin did not show any fear in its sullen eyes as it had full confidence in its Eldritch Energy.

Just before Evan's fist made contact with the Eldritch Energy that covered the goblin, he activated Sky Fall to gather all of his strength in his fist and used 400 points of World Essence to increase his strength by another 200 points. At the same time, he activated the Fear skill.

Now that Evan's spiritual power was slightly higher than that of a normal Rank Three Core Evolver, the effect of the Fear skill was nothing to scoff at.

The moment Evan activated the Fear skill, the goblin felt a soul-shuddering fear, and the Eldritch Energy covering it thinned considerably.

Evan's entire strength was concentrated in his fist, and the moment it touched the Eldritch Energy covering the goblin, the eldritch energy burst like a bubble.

Even after destroying the Eldritch Energy, the power of his fist didn't decrease and...

Bang!

His fist landed right on the frightened face of the goblin and the red fire of the Prismatic Flame blew away half of its head into a mist of purple blood.

"Grughhh!"

The goblin screamed in pain and tried to stand up, but before it could, another fist followed, destroying the other half of its head and completely wiping out its life force.

Evan glanced at the dead Eldritch Goblin with a sneer on his face and without caring about it, turned his head, finally looking at land inside the pillar of light.
