Necromancer Of The Shadows

Evan quietly flew towards his house, thinking about what Anastasia had proposed to Sylvan and Alaric.

'This is complete madness...' He thought, feeling his heartbeat increase just thinking about what those three were planning to do.

"If anyone else finds out what they are planning, it will be a disaster," Evan muttered and shook his head, deciding to not think about it anymore as he was also part of their plan.

He leisurely flew towards his house, feeling the cold breeze brushing past his cheek, making him forget about the madness they were about to do a few days later.

Evan was going back alone because Anastasia had left the closed world of the Drayds, saying she needed to contact her vampire slave to prepare for the things they needed to execute their plan and would come back after a few hours.

"One month, huh..." Evan muttered in a low voice recalling the time frame Anastasia, Sylvan, and Alaric had set for their plan.

"I wonder what kind of chaos it will cause throughout Utopia, but one thing I am sure of is that if this plan works successfully... the Gehenna Empire will be fu*ked."

Soon, Evan returned to his house, but instead of going inside, he walked towards the river flowing down from the top of the mountain and sat down near it.

He took a deep breath and slumped down on the grass, feeling quite relaxed after a long while as he was stressed after spending three months inside the Tomb that was filled with dangers.

As he looked at the drifting clouds, he started to think about what he needed to do next.

"The most important thing for me now is to increase my understanding of void energy so that I can become a Rank Three Core Evolver in the future. At the same time, I need to get more familiar with the usage of the Primordial Shadow Energy. I can ignore the rank of my core for the time being as it will continue to increase on its own as long as Anastasia provides me high-level food."

Just when Evan was relaxing, thinking about his next course of action, he suddenly felt an energy wave emerging from deep within his soul.

Feeling the energy wave, Evan immediately sat up as he recognised it.

"Elora," He said in a surprised voice and used the Psychic Soul Realm to enter his soul space.

Upon entering his soul space, he saw the Origin Essence that had been circling around the Halberd of Destruction was completely absorbed by it, and it was releasing golden waves of energy.

Although the energy waves were filled with the intent of destruction, they didn't damage his soul space. Instead, he felt his spiritual power condensing and becoming more pure.

The Halberd continued to release energy waves and stopped only after five minutes.

"Hmmm... The range of my spiritual senses increased by around two hundred kilometres because of the purification of my spiritual energy," Evan muttered with a surprised look on his face, not expecting the range of his spiritual senses to increase even more.

Suddenly, a bright golden light flashed and the jet-black Halberd hovering in his soul space appeared in front of him.

Evan was taken aback when the Halberd suddenly appeared in front of him, but before he could react, the Halberd transformed into a small red-haired girl with emerald green eyes.

"Father," Elora wrapped her arms around Evan's chest and shouted while sticking to him like glue.

Evan sighed in relief when he heard Elora's voice, but his expression froze when he looked at her.

'What's wrong with her body?' He thought to himself as he noticed her body was somewhat Illusionary and he could see through her.

Looking at her transparent body, he thought it might be because he was in the soul space, so he immediately stopped using the Psychic Soul Realm skill.

He opened his eyes outside and immediately summoned the Halberd of Destruction using his connection with it.

As he summoned the Halberd, a destructive black-golden light flashed, and a three-meter-long Halberd appeared in his hand.

But upon looking at the Halberd, Evan was not happy because even now, the weapon in his hand looked illusionary as if it was not real.

Evan took a deep breath to stay calm and called in a soft voice, "Elora?"

As soon as he spoke, the Halberd in his hands flashed and turned into Elora, who looked around curiously, seemingly wondering where she was.

"Father, did we leave that place?" She asked in a curious voice, noticing the environment around her was completely different from the Tomb of the Ancient.

Evan nodded his head when he heard Elora and patted her head.

"Yes, we are no longer in that place."

He wanted to ask her what was wrong with her body, but before he could, he felt a surge of information appearing within his mind.

Evan frowned when the information appeared, but he closed his eyes for a moment and quickly organized it.

'So that's how it is...' Evan frowned after organizing the information and looked at Elora with a thoughtful expression.

According to the information he just received, the Halberd he carried out of the Tomb was not the real Halberd of Destruction; instead, it was a replica created by one of Halberd's abilities.

To allow Evan to take Elora with him, Azroth transformed Elora's spirit into this replica. Since this halberd was not her original vessel, her body appeared illusionary because she couldn't use her full power.

However, this replica was connected with the true Halberd of Destruction still inside the Tomb. Since it was drawing energy from the real Halberd to maintain its form, the real Halberd would run out of energy within six years, and the sealing formation would collapse.

'So that's why Azroth told me to become as strong as possible in the next six years...' Evan thought inwardly, but he didn't care too much because as long as there was nothing wrong with Elora, he didn't mind.

Just when Evan was still deep in his thoughts, Elora looked at him and asked something that shocked him.

"Father, where is my sister?"
