Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1183  Rank Five Eldritch Horror (Part 2)

The Rank Five Eldritch Horror was nearly two hundred meters tall, with a body similar to that of a pig. From its black-coloured grotesque body, hundreds of tentacles were coming out, each with a snake-like head at the tip. These snake like tentacles were devouring some of the low-level horrors that willingly offered themselves to it.

"This thing... it looks far more horrifying than I imagined," Evan muttered under his breath as he watched the pig-like Eldritch Horror devouring its own kin while relentlessly attacking the barrier.

"Its aura is stronger than I expected," Velgoth said with narrowed eyes. Although he wasn't shocked by the sight of the horror as he had seen it many times before—the power of its aura surprised him, as it was only slightly weaker than his own.

Despite both of them being beginner-level Rank Five Evolvers, Velgoth had broken through a few thousand years earlier than the horror.

Although he hadn't progressed much after becoming a Rank Five Core Evolver, due to the limitations of the Azragoth World, Velgoth still found it surprising that the Eldritch Horror had reached this level of power.

"You don't need to worry about that Eldritch Horror. It's just a small fry compared to me..." Evan glanced sideways at Velgoth, mocking him by repeating the words he had spoken before.

Velgoth felt a little embarrassed when he heard Evan's mocking words and cleared his throat.

"Even though its aura is strong, it's still no match for me. Just handle the part we discussed earlier, and I will take care of the rest."

Evan rolled his eyes at Velgoth's confidence but nodded his head.

With a thought, he summoned his fifty thousand shadow undeads, instructing them to line up alongside the one hundred and fifty thousand Eldritch Creatures that had come with them.

Morvael, Nythor, Utharic, and the other Eldritch Creatures, who had previously fought against the shadow undeads felt uneasy standing so close to them. But despite their discomfort, they remained silent and kept their ranks.

Once the shadow undeads and the Eldritch Creatures were positioned, Evan looked toward Miss Spider and nodded.

Catching Evan's signal, Miss Spider activated her Life Chain skill, immediately linking the life forces of the fifty thousand shadow undeads and the one hundred and fifty thousand Eldritch Creatures.

Simultaneously, she used her authority, Damage Nullification, which reduced the damage taken by anyone connected to the Life Chain by 30%.

Once they were connected, Nihilus summoned his own skeletons, bringing the total number of undeads and Eldritch Creatures to nearly three hundred thousand.

Evan chose not to link the skeletons' life forces with the others for two main reasons. First, the skeletons were much lower level, and instead of dealing damage to the horrors, they would likely be used as cannon fodder, creating opportunities for the shadow undeads and the Eldritch Creatures.

Second, Miss Spider's Damage Nullification could only affect up to two hundred thousand individuals at a time.

If the skeletons were linked and received damage, they would pass it on to the shadow undeads and the Eldritch Creatures, negating the benefit of the 30% damage reduction.

Therefore, Evan decided to send the skeletons out independently. Even if they were instantly destroyed, it didn't matter much since Nihilus could summon them again without any serious loss.

"Even though they won't be in immediate danger thanks to my undead's Life Chain skill, there are nearly five or six million Eldritch Horrors on the other side. You will need to end this fight quickly. The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes for us," Evan said in a serious tone, directing his skeletons and shadow undeads to charge beyond the barrier and confront the horrors.

Velgoth's expression turned serious as he listened to Evan, and nodded his head.

"I will try to end it as soon as possible," He said, then glanced at Nythor and the other Eldritch Creatures, signalling them to follow the undead army.

Receiving the signal, Morvael and the others immediately moved forward without hesitation, following the undeads into battle.

Ordinarily, they would have hesitated to fight against such a vast army of horrors with fewer than three hundred thousand troops on their side. However, Evan had already explained the advantages of the Life Chain, so they felt confident enough to face millions of horrors despite their smaller numbers.

"The people under your command are quite impressive. None of them questioned why you are working with me," Evan commented in a light voice as he observed Morvael and the others exit the barrier alongside his shadow undeads and skeletons.

Velgoth said nothing in response, but a hint of satisfaction glimmered in his eyes.

When Morvael and the others reached the front lines of the Eldritch Horrors, Velgoth took a deep breath and turned to Evan. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I am going in now," He said in a deep voice before vanishing.

Evan watched Velgoth charge toward the massive, two-hundred-meter-tall pig-like Eldritch Horror and his gaze shifted to the red-orange sky above.

"I hope everything goes smoothly and I won't have to resort to that plan..." He muttered to himself, before focusing his attention back on Velgoth, who had already arrived in front of the Rank Five Eldritch Horror.

Seeing that Velgoth was about to start fighting against the rank five horror, Evan walked to the barrier, easily passing through it due to the permission Velgoth had granted him.

The moment Evan left the barrier, some Eldritch Horrors in the area shifted their attention and charged at him with a mad look in their eyes.

As the Eldritch Horrors rushed toward him, Evan didn't even bother to glance at them and just when the horrors were a few meters away, the space around them shattered, slicing the bodies of all the horrors into thousands of pieces.

Small pieces of flesh and large amounts of blood dropped to the ground and were absorbed by the Azragoth World.

Seeing the sliced Eldritch Horrors' bodies disappear, Evan smiled slightly and the Halberd of Destruction appeared in his hand.

"It's time to gather some nutrients for my growth," He said to himself before disappearing from his position.
