Necromancer Of The Shadows

Using the Soul Beacon skill, Evan appeared right behind Clone. His Blazebringer Gauntlet blazed with the sun's true fire and using the Sonic Resonance skill, he punched the backside of Clone's head.

Bang!

Like a watermelon, Clone's head exploded into bloody red pulp and scattered in the air. But instead of feeling happy after destroying Clone's head, Evan clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"I know it won't be that easy," He muttered in a low voice as he watched the red bloody pulp of Clone's head turn into red fire.

Clone's headless body moved on its own and moved away from Evan. After Clone's headless body moved away from Evan, the red fire once again attached itself to Clone and his head returned to normal.

"You nearly got me there," Clone said as soon as his head regenerated. A new red fire spear appeared in his hand and without giving Evan a chance to do anything, he vertically slashed in his direction.

Just as Clone slashed, all hairs on Evan's body stood up to no end and he immediately used the wind walk skill to move away from his position.

The moment Evan moved away, the ground was split open in a thin straight line and a torrent of red fire erupted from the split ground.

After dodging Clone's attack when Evan looked at him once again, he saw Clone had already disappeared from his previous position and was now hovering one hundred meters above the ground. Clone's spear was pointed in his direction and a small red orb was spinning at the tip of the spear.

When Evan saw the small red orb rotating on the tip of the spear, an overwhelming feeling of danger overtook his body. A suffocating feeling that he had felt when Nate had used the ability bead filled his heart, his breathing quickened and his body began to stiffen.

'If I can't stop this attack I am dead for sure,' Evan thought inwardly and tried to regain control over his body.

Suddenly, the pressure he was feeling increased tenfold and the space around him solidified.

Evan lifted his head and saw the red orb on the tip of the spear stop rotating. Clone's deep yellow eyes flashed with coldness and he opened his mouth.

"Blaze Nova!"

The moment Clone uttered those words, a sense of impending doom far stronger than any sense of danger he had felt before engulfed Evan's body.

Subconsciously, he activated the Temporal Velocity skill and used five thousand souls as fuel to increase its power.

Time seemed to stop in Evan's eyes the moment he used temporal velocity along with the soul absorption skill. He looked at Clone and saw the small orb detach itself from the spear and was now heading in his direction.

Temporal Velocity is a skill that directly affects its user's mind, making his mind work several times faster than normal. So the consequences of using soul absorption on a skill that directly affects its user's mind were not normal. Evan felt a splitting headache and his eyes started to bleed the moment he used the skill. His face turned pale and he wanted nothing more than to pass out at this point.

Although Evan wanted nothing more than to pass out, he still gritted his teeth and pointed one of his fingers towards the fire orb that was coming in his direction.

He created a shadow bullet using the shadow energy and used fifty thousand souls as fuel to increase the power of the bullet.

"Arghh," A painful grunt escaped from Evan's mouth when he used the soul absorption skill to increase the power of the two skills at the same time and he nearly passed out because of the burden that these skills were putting on his mind and soul.

Evan's eyes turned bloodshot but he didn't take his eyes off from the orb that was slowly moving in his direction.

It was very difficult for him to control and hit a target by using the shadow bullet which is strengthened by using the soul absorption skill, but because of the Temporal Velocity skill, he was able to properly aim at the fire orb.

Once Evan was sure that his aim was perfect, he released the shadow bullet and stopped using the temporal velocity skill.

Bang!

The Shadow Bullet tore through the space and went straight towards the fire orb.

Although it may seem like a long time had passed since Clone had used his Blaze Nova, in reality, not even a second had passed since the moment Clone had shot the Blaze Nova and Evan used Temporal Velocity and Shadow Bullet skills.

"Argh" Evan felt a headache that could make anyone go insane the moment he stopped using the Temporal Velocity skill.

Although he used the skills only for a split second, in that split second, he had used nearly forty percent of his spiritual power to control the power of Shadow Bullet and Temporal Velocity skills.

The small black bullet reached in front of the deep red fire orb in an instant.

Although Clone was not sure what kind of skill Evan had used, he could feel the overwhelming power that was hidden deep within the small black bullet.

When his Blaze Nova and Evan's shadow bullet were about to collide, all hairs on Clone's body stood up and he immediately turned around to fly away from there.

Evan's instincts were also screaming but he couldn't even lift his head to look at the Bullet and Blaze Nova because his head was spinning and he felt as if his eyes would burst at any moment.

Finally, the bullet and the fire orb clashed with each other. The moment they came into contact with each other, the orb and the bullet disappeared. The world turned completely silent as if everything was normal.

But the silence did not last long because a split second after the bullet and the fire orb disappeared, the dungeon started to shake.

BooooooooooooooooooooooooM!!!

A doomsday-like explosion reverted throughout the dungeon and world-destroying shockwaves ripped outwards in every single direction.

Evan and Clone, both of them were caught in the shockwaves. Evan's condition was already not good after using the temporal velocity and shadow bullet skills. So the moment he was caught in the shockwaves, his mind went blank.

He couldn't feel anything and he just knew that his body was flying far away because of the shockwaves.

At the last moment when he was just about to lose consciousness, Evan bit his tongue so hard that his teeth dug deep inside it and he was finally able to regain his senses.

But the moment he regained his senses, he felt an overwhelming pain coming from all over his body.

"Arrghh" Evan was not able to endure the pain and screamed out loud.

"Fu*k fu*k fu*k," Evan looked at the left side of his body and noticed his left hand and leg had exploded into blood mist because of the shockwaves.

All the bones within his body were broken and his internal organs were in a complete mess. If he had really lost consciousness a moment ago, he would have definitely died here.

Evan started to take deep breaths and used the Death Trasnerfer skill to heal himself.

One of the shadow undeads who was outside of the dungeon was destroyed and Evan immediately returned to the perfect condition.

After recovering, he quickly created a barrier around him and waited for the shockwaves to subside.

"Clone can also recover just like me, but I am sure he will be in worse condition than me," Evan muttered and after a minute when the shockwaves slowed down, he quickly used shadow wings to fly back.

In just a few seconds, he returned to the place where he was before the explosion and used his spiritual senses to look for Clone.

"Found you," Using his spiritual senses, Evan found Clone in no time and saw him flying away in the opposite direction. He was missing his right arm and his body was filled with injuries.

On a closer look, Evan noticed Clone's arm was regenerating at a very slow speed clearly indicating that he was almost out of energy.

"He must have used up a lot of energy in order to survive the earlier shockwaves," Evan said and soon saw Clone flying away with his eyes.

"I will finish him in a single attack," Evan muttered and used the wind walk skill to arrive right behind Clone. All of his power gathered around his fist and he was about to finish off Clone when...

"Got you," He heard Clone's voice and before he could react, Clone turned around and struck a red fireball right on his chest.
