Necromancer Of The Shadows

Around thirty-five people stood in front of the transparent golden barrier covering the Essence Spring.

Among the thirty people, twenty-two were Rank One evolvers while the rest were Rank Two.

"Although most of you already know what we are going to do, let me give you a quick explanation so that no one makes a mistake..." Blaze, who was standing in front of the group said and took out a black-colored Sabre from her storage ring.

"As you all know, the barrier has reflective properties and will reflect all the attacks aimed at it if we don't destroy it in one single attack. It is nearly impossible for us to time our attacks so that they hit the barrier at the same time and spot. So, in order to destroy it in one go, we will use my Sabre." Blaze paused after saying this and continued after a moment.

"This Sabre is made from the bones of a three-headed black ogre and can store a large amount of power inside it. We will use our world essence to charge it to its maximum limit and attack the barrier; this way, we won't have to worry about timing our attack."

Hearing Blaze's explanation, Evan looked at the Sabre with a surprised look on his face.

'From the aura of the Sabre, I can tell that it is at least a Peak Rank Two artefact...' He thought inwardly and narrowed his eyes. 'She took out such a high-level artefact without any fear. Isn't she afraid it will invite trouble for her since there are many people who will definitely try to snatch it from her?'

Evan looked at the people who were hearing Blaze's explanation and was taken aback when he noticed no one other than him seemed to have thoughts about snatching that Sabre.

'I know she is a Peak Rank Two Core Evolver, but aren't these guys just too timid...' Evan scoffed at the people who were not showing any greed in front of such a good artefact and shook his head in disappointment.

After briefly explaining everything, Blaze went towards Voidscar and talked to him for a few minutes.

Evan wanted to hear what they were talking about, but they created a soundproof barrier around them, so he wasn't able to hear what they were saying.

'Ha! These two are definitely planning something...' Evan said to himself when he noticed the barrier they created to avoid getting heard and sneered inwardly.

"All right everyone, let's start," After talking to Voidscar, Blaze said as her black Sabre hovered in front of the barrier.

"Charge it using your world essence and don't think about holding back; otherwise, we won't be able to break the barrier and the attack will be reflected back towards us."

Blaze was the first person to start pouring her World Essence inside the Sabre, followed by Voidscar. Seeing both of the peak Rank Two Core Evolvers already started to pour their world essence inside the Sabre, other people also made their move.

Evan was also pouring his world essence inside the Sabre and keeping an eye on both Blaze and Voidscar as he was still suspicious about them because of the conversation they had earlier.

As people poured their world essence inside the Sabre, the black Sabre started to glow with deep red light, and a destructive aura started to come out of it.

'There are more than thirty people who are pouring their world essence inside it, but I can feel that this Sabre is still far from reaching its limit.' Evan was astonished when he felt the rising aura of the Sabre, and for a moment, the thought of sending the Sabre inside his shadow storage came into his mind.

"Forget it, although I have some confidence that I can escape after taking this Sabre, I should wait for another opportunity," He said after a moment and decided to focus on the Essence Spring for the time being.

Of course, he wasn't pouring his world essence inside the Sabre seriously. Although he had his Primordial Shadow Energy, he still wanted to keep some of his World Essence so that he would be able to keep himself safe in case something happened once the barrier broke.

Obviously, he wasn't the only one who was doing this; in fact, all the people present there, including Blaze and Voidscar were the same.

'I wonder if we will be able to break the barrier at this rate...' Evan couldn't help but think when he saw all the people were trying to preserve their world essence.

While Evan was thinking about this matter, a strange attractive force suddenly came out of the Sabre.

"What the—" Evan was taken aback when he felt the attraction force because after the appearance of the force, the speed at which the Sabre was absorbing their world essence increased by a great margin. Moreover...

"I can't stop my world essence from flowing inside the Sabre," Evan muttered and looked at Blaze and Voidscar with cold eyes.

"What is happening?"

"This Sabre is sucking me dry."

"Stop, someone stop this Sabre or I will run out of fuel."

"Miss Blaze, stop your Sabre, I can't hold on any longer."

Evan nearly fell to the ground when he heard the way people were expressing their shock. Although he knew what they were talking about, he still felt there was something wrong with the script.

"Don't worry everyone, I know you all are shocked, but I have no choice but to do this; otherwise, we won't be able to break the barrier because of your half-baked efforts," Blaze said in a calm voice as the Sabre continued to absorb the world essence of everyone other than Voidscar and Blaze like a black hole.

Although the Sabre was not forcefully absorbing their world essence like other people, Blaze and Voidscar were still pouring their world essence inside it, albeit not to the extent of other people who were being sucked dry by the Sabre.

'I know these bastards were planning to do something...' Evan scoffed, and his Primordial Monarch Core slowly started to rotate. Using the power of his core, he forcefully severed the connection between the Sabre and himself.

Other people also tried to sever their connection with the Sabre, but unfortunately, their core was not strong enough to resist the attraction force of the Sabre.

The moment Evan severed his connection with the Sabre, the Sabre stopped absorbing his World Essence, but as a result, the pressure on other people increased even more.

"Damn, why is it absorbing my world essence even more rapidly now?"

"You fu*king bird, do you want to kill us by forcefully absorbing all of our world essence."

Blaze and Voidscar were taken aback when the attraction force of the Sabre suddenly increased by another level.

Although Blaze was controlling the Sabre, she did not plan to absorb all the World Essence of the people like this. She was planning to leave everyone with ten percent of their world essence, but looking at the way the Sabre was absorbing the world essence of the people, she didn't know what to say.

'There shouldn't have been any complication like this unless someone disturbed the flow of world ess—' Suddenly, Blaze thought about something and looked at the person who killed the Beginner Level Rank Two extreme demon with just a single punch.

"You—" When Blaze looked at Evan, she nearly coughed out blood due to anger and her eyes opened wide in shock.

"What the hell are you doing, Dead Man?" She shouted in an anger-filled voice, looking at Evan who was roasting a steak of meat over a fire while everyone else was pouring their world essence inside the Sabre.

Voidscar and the other people also looked at Evan and were similarly taken aback when they saw him roasting meat while they were being drained by the Sabre.

Hearing Blaze, Evan looked at her with a confused look and pointed at the steak that he was roasting.

"What do you mean, what am I doing? Can't you see, I am cooking meat because I am hungry."

"This bastard—" Hearing Evan, Blaze was so angry that she wanted to attack him on the spot, but Evan didn't give a sh*t about her and said in a plain voice.

"Let me give you some advice, Miss Simple Name..." The space behind Evan suddenly turned pitch black, and two deep red eyes opened in the darkness. "If you try to play a trick on me once again, you will take the place of this meat steak on the fire. So in the future, you better inform me beforehand if you are planning to do something like this."

Due to the Fear skill, everyone, including Voidscar and Blaze felt a soul-shuddering coldness, and their bodies froze on the spot.

Feeling the fear that seemed to be coming from deep within their souls, Blaze and Voidscar were about to circulate their spiritual energies to resist the effect of the Fear skill.

However, before they could do so, Evan stopped using the Fear skill. He knew that if Blaze and Voidscar started to circulate their spiritual energies they would be able to resist the Fear skill's effect due to their high-level spiritual power.

He didn't want to make it clear that they could resist it using their spiritual powers, which is why he activated it only for a split second to intimidate them and left the rest to their imagination.

Actually, Evan wouldn't have done this, but his gut feeling was telling him that Voidscar and Blaze were still planning to do something with the Essence Spring And...

'If I want to know what they are planning to do, then I need to make it clear that I am not weaker than them.'
