Necromancer Of The Shadows

As Evan watched the eldritch creature try to come out of the void crack, his face paled and he remembered what the spirit of the tower had said to him when it told him about the eldritch creature.

'The Essence Corridor is located between the boundaries of the World Domain and Utopia, if you use powerful attacks inside the Essence Corridor and destroy its space barrier, you will be lost between the void of the World Domain and Utopia..'

As the words of the spirit of the Tower rang inside his mind, Evan gritted his teeth and despite feeling dizzy because of his low spiritual energy shot towards the Void Crack.

'I can't allow this bastard to come out or it will be a disaster if we fight here and the space of the corridor collapses,' Evan thought inwardly and deep orange fire appeared around his body. The conceptual energy of fire, which he could use due to the Shadow Possession skill moved and a sword made of dark orange fire appeared in his hand.

Using his high agility, Evan appeared near the Void Crack in an instant and used the fire sword to cut down the deformed limbs of the Eldritch Creature which were trying to widen the void crack so that it could come out of it.

The Eldritch Creature once again used the spiritual attacks when Evan cut off many of its limbs, but using all of his willpower, Evan ignored the headache that he was feeling because of the spiritual attacks and continued to chop off its limbs.

'It is good that the soul of the Eldritch Creature was severely injured because of the soul needle otherwise with its overwhelming spiritual power, it would have been able to shatter my soul with just a few of its attacks just like how it shattered Claire's soul' Evan thought inwardly and continued to cut down the limbs of the creature so that it couldn't increase the size of the void crack.

The limbs of Eldritch Creature were covered in the Eldritch Energy and were as hard as steel, but under the burning power of the fire sword, Evan chopped them like he was cutting the wood blocks with an axe.

"Aughhh" Suddenly, the Eldritch Creature used another of its spiritual attack. At first, Evan ignored the attack and continued to cut down the limbs of the creature, but when this attack struck him, his expression changed because he realized the power of this attack was at least two times stronger than its previous attacks.

*Cough

Evan was already having a hard time because of ignoring a few of its earlier spiritual attacks so when he suddenly received a more powerful spiritual attack, he coughed out blood and lost focus for a split second.

The moment Evan lost focus, the size of the void crack suddenly increased and a beam of Eldritch Energy came out of it, going straight towards Evan's chest where his heart was located.

All the hairs on Evan's body stood up to no end when the beam of the Eldritch Energy came out of the void crack and a sense of impending doom engulfed his body.

Although he was feeling dizzy due to the eldritch creature's spiritual attack, he still subconsciously tilted his body to the side to avoid the attack.

Puchi!

Even though Evan moved his body sideways at the last second, the beam of the Eldritch Energy still pierced his shoulder. The power of the Eldritch Energy was so high that although Evan was merged with Asher, the beam still made a see through hole in his shoulder.

A stream of blood erupted from Evan's shoulder and he groaned in pain.

Woosh!

Before Evan could recover from the attack, more limbs of the Eldritch Creature came out of the Void Crack and began to widen it.

As the size of the void crack increased, Evan noticed a pair of four deep green eyes looking at him from inside the crack. The four eyes were filled with coldness and just by looking into them, Evan felt his soul shudder a bit.

"How can the soul of a Rank One creature be so strong," Evan muttered in a shocked voice when he felt his soul shake a bit just by looking into the eyes of the Eldritch Creature.

As Evan watched the size of the crack increase rapidly, a pained expression appeared on his face and he sighed.

'Looks like I will have to use that,' He said inwardly and with a reluctant expression on his face, took out a small white coloured bead from his shadow storage.

"I thought I would keep these as my trump cards in case I encounter any dangerous situation after reaching Utopia but now that the situation come to this..." Evan muttered to himself while looking at the small white bead in his hands.

The small white bead was the ability bead that Noir gave him when he had left for the dungeon town to clear the dungeon. If possible, he did not want to use the ability bead, but looking at the situation, he knew that he had no choice but to use the ability bead given to him by Noir because only this bead could stop the Eldritch Creature from coming out of the void crack without damaging the space barrier of the essence corridor.

While Evan took out the ability bead from his shadow storage and recovered from the Eldritch Creature's spiritual attack, the void crack turned two meters in size and a long green face with a giant head similar to that of an alien came out of it.

The moment the face of the Eldritch Creature came out, it opened its mouth, showing hundreds of sharp teeth and planned to use another spiritual attack. But before it could use its spiritual attack, Evan crushed the white ability bead that he was holding.

Just as Evan crushed the ability bead, a three meters tall phantom image of Noir appeared behind him, looking at the Eldritch Creature without any emotion on her face. After appearing, she pointed one of her fingers at the Eldritch Creature and spiritual power surged within the Essence Corridor.

As Noir was a phantom cat specialized in spiritual attacks, the skill that she sealed inside the ability bead was also a spiritual skill.

Feeling the spiritual power coming from Noir's phantom image, the Eldritch Creature panicked and tried to return back into the Void Crack.

If it was in its perfect condition, the Eldritch Creature wouldn't have cared about this spiritual attack after all, it even withstood Claire's spiritual attack who was a Rank Two Core Evolver.

But the problem was that currently the soul of the Eldritch Creature was seriously damaged due to the soul needle Evan had used earlier and it wasn't in condition to take another powerful spiritual attack head on.

The only reason it was aggressively attacking Evan was because it could feel that Evan's spiritual power was completely depleted and he could not use another spiritual attack like before. But the Eldritch Creature never had thought that Evan would have an ability bead containing a spiritual attack type skill.

When Evan noticed the Eldritch Creature wanted to go back into the void crack after feeling the spiritual power fluctuations coming from Noir's phantom image, he snorted and took Adam's gravity manipulation skill to solidify the space around the Eldritch Creature in order to halt its movements.

The Eldritch Creature was stunned when the space around it suddenly hardened and it wasn't able to move. A panicked look flashed on its strange face and it used the Eldritch Energy in order to break free from the effect of Gravity Manipulation skill. But before the Eldritch Creature could break free from the restrictions of the gravity manipulation skill...

"Soul Torment" An indifferent voice came from the mouth of Noir's phantom image and a ray emerged from the finger with which she was pointing towards the eldritch creature.

The beam struck the head of the Eldritch Creature and went inside its body, directly attacking its soul.

"Aughh" The Eldritch Creature screamed in agony and green blood started to flow out from its four eyes.

After launching the attack, the phantom image of Noir disappeared.

Evan ignored the miserable scream of the Eldritch Creature and shot towards it the moment it was struck by Noir's attack. Using his high agility, he arrived in front of Eldritch Creature's face in an instant.

The small amount of spiritual power that he had recovered in this short period of time moved and Evan opened his mouth.

"Soul Severance," He said and felt a terrible headache because all of his spiritual power was once again depleted.

---) Soul Severance: After activating this skill, the user can sever the connection between a person's body and soul for one second using their spiritual power, rendering them unconscious or temporarily incapacitated.

Although Evan lost all of his spiritual power once again and felt a terrible headache, the result of the soul severance was imminent.

Normally, it would have been impossible for Evan to affect the Edtitch Creature without using all of his spiritual power, but because of the effect of Noir's attack, soul severance skill successfully severed the connection between the soul and the physical body of the eldritch creature.

The moment the connection between the soul and the physical body of the Eldritch Creature was severed, the Eldritch Energy that was preventing the void crack from closing disappeared.

"Sonic Resonance," Before the Eldritch Creature could recover the connection between its soul and physical body, Evan struck its giant head with his fist, sending it flying back deep inside the void crack.

"Now is my chance," The moment the Eldritch Creature was sent flying deep inside the void crack, Evan's eyes turned sharp.

Now that the Eldritch Creature was deep inside the void and no Eldritch Energy was preventing the crack from closing, Evan could finally close it.

The conceptual energy of the void inside Evan's body moved and he brought his hand in front of the void crack.

"Void Break," Using the first void skill that he had created, Evan shattered the space around the void crack and created a void rift. The moment the Void Rift appeared, the Void Crack where the Eldritch Creature was living merged with the Void Rift and Evan could now control the entire Void Rift using the Void Energy present inside his body.

A split second after Evan shattered the space and took control of the void crack, he stopped using his void energy.

The moment Evan stopped using the void energy, the void rift that he created using the void break skill started to close down at a rapid speed.

Seeing the void rift was closing at a rapid speed, although Evan was feeling dizzy because of the lack of spiritual energy, a smile still appeared on his face.

"Aughh" But the smile on Evan's face stiffened when he suddenly heard the angry scream of the Eldritch Creature and felt it coming towards the void rift at rapid speed.

"This bastard," Evan cursed when he felt the Eldritch Creature rushing towards the Void Rift and shot tens of fireballs and fire spears Inside the void Rift in order to stop the creature.

"Aughh," The Eldritch Creature screamed in pain when it was struck by the fireballs and fire spears and its speed slowed down.

The Void Rift continued to shrink and soon it was just ten centimetres wide.

Woosh!

Just when Evan thought the void rift would be closed, a deformed hand came out of it and tried to stop it from closing.

Evan was already having a hard time because of the lack of spiritual power so when he saw the deformed arm of the Eldritch Creature which was trying to stop the void rift from closing, his eyes turned ice cold and he cut down the arm of the Eldritch Creature using the fire sword in his hand.

"Augh" The Eldritch Creature screamed in pain and tried to send another arm out of the rift to stop it from closing, but before its arm could come out, the void rift closed.

The moment the void rift closed, the spirit of the tower of ascension used the small control it had over the essence corridor and reinforced the space barrier around the place where the void rift was a moment ago.

Evan ignored the energy that was reinforcing the space barrier and dropped to the ground once the rift was closed.

"Finally I can leave this place and go to the Core Evolution Room," Evan muttered as he fell to the ground and closed his eyes.
