Necromancer Of The Shadows

Brzzz!

The Sabre released powerful energy fluctuations, making the space around it tremble.

Blaze's forehead was covered in cold sweat as she tried her best to control Sebre's power.

"This should be enough," She said to herself after a moment, and the Sabre suddenly stopped absorbing the World Essence.

The moment the Sabre stopped absorbing the world essence of the people, all of them other than Blaze and Voidscar dropped to the ground with pale faces and weak auras.

Evan had long since stopped pouring his world essence into the Sabre and was eating the steak he cooked, so he was completely fine.

"Go," After stopping the Sabre from absorbing the world essence, Blaze motioned with her hand, and the Sabre shot towards the transparent golden barrier like a bullet.

Booooooooom!

With a loud sound, the Sabre struck the barrier, creating intense ripples on it. The moment the barrier was struck by the Sabre, a strange force gathered around it, trying to reflect back the Sabre towards Blaze and others.

However, under the intense power of the Sabre, the repelling force was completely annihilated, and cracks started to appear on the barrier.

Crack... Crack...

Soon, the barrier was covered in a spiderweb-like pattern, and the golden glow around it started to dissipate. Seeing the barrier was about to shatter, Evan ate the entire steak in a single motion and stood up.

Most of the people were still feeling dizzy because of being sucked dry by the Sabre, so they just looked at the barrier without standing up from the ground.

"It's about time..." Evan muttered in a low voice and...

... Crack.. Cracked!

The golden barrier shattered into countless light fragments, illuminating the surroundings in a golden hue for a moment.

Woosh!

The moment the barrier shattered, a vast amount of world essence spread in the surroundings from the Essence Spring pond, rejuvenating all the people who were sucked dry by the Sabre.

Blaze and Voidscar were in front of the group, and the moment the barrier shattered, they wanted to rush towards the pond. But before they could, they felt a cold wind blowing past them and saw a grey-haired man with a lazy-looking face already soaking inside the spring.

The faces of Blaze and Voidscar turned dark when they saw this, but considering what happened earlier, they didn't do anything and entered the Essence Spring without making a fuss.

When Evan entered the Essence Spring pond, a cooling sensation washed over his body, and his core started to absorb the world essence from the spring on its own.

While his core was absorbing the world essence from the pond, a black shadow left his body and dived deeper into the essence spring pond.

''Let's see if I can find anything...'' Evan muttered in a low voice once the black shadow left his body and sat in one of the corners of the essence spring pond.

Because of the vast amount of World Essence that came out of the essence spring pond, most of the people recovered some of their world essence that was sucked dry by the Sabre and they also entered the pond.

Because of the Fear skill Evan used earlier, almost everyone was afraid of him, so no one dared to go near him even after entering the pond.

Evan was very pleased when no one came near him as he could absorb the world essence faster from the spring pond this way.

He glanced in the direction of Voidscar and Blaze and noticed they were once again talking about something and had a soundproof barrier around them.

Seeing the soundproof barrier, a smirk appeared on Evan's face, and he closed his eyes.

"Let's start..." He said to himself, and his Primordial Monarch Core started to spin. As his core spun, the world essence from the essence spring pond rushed towards it.

The pond was nearly fifty meters in diameter and there were just thirty five people, so even though the amount of world essence Evan was absorbing was completely abnormal, no one noticed it.

"What should we do with him?" While absorbing the world essence, Evan suddenly heard Blaze's voice inside his head.

"Let's wait for a few hours. The energy of the Essence Spring will run out in a few hours as there are so many people here. Once the energy runs out and he leaves, we can look for it," Voidscar said when he heard Blaze and glanced in Evan's direction, who had his eyes closed.

"Ha! If not for him, we wouldn't have to act like this," Blaze said with a frustrated look on her face and sighed loudly.

"Don't forget you were the one who asked him if he wanted to join us in breaking the barrier."

"I invited him because I thought he was just a mid-level Rank Two Core Evolver and even if he tries to do something, it won't be difficult for us to handle him, but who would have thought that he would be such a strange person," Blaze said with a twitching mouth as she remembered his name. While speaking, she suddenly thought about something and asked Voidscar with a frown on her face.

"By the way, what will we do if we find only one evolution essence drop?"

"In that case, I will take the evolution essence drop and will give you something of equal value in return."

"I want a mid-level void crystal in return." Blaze immediately said upon hearing Voidscar.

"Mid-level void crystal?" Voidscar raised an eyebrow when he heard Blaze. "Are you planning to create a high-level artefact?"

"Something like that."

"You should know void crystals are very rare, especially the mid and high-level ones. But..." Voidscar said and nodded his head. "Considering the value of the Evolution Essence drop, I think it is a fair trade. I don't have any mid-level void crystal on me for the time being, but I will give you one once we leave the Tomb."

Blaze was delighted when she heard Voidscar and looked at the people who were absorbing the world essence from the Essence Spring.

"It's good that no one can go to the bottom of the Essence Spring due to the chaotic world essence deep inside it; otherwise, they would have found out about the evolution essence drop as well."

"It wouldn't have mattered even if they found out because they don't have the ability to take it away from us. The only reason I am not going down for now is because of how delicate the evolution drop is, and I don't want anyone to ruin it because of their foolishness," Voidscar said while looking at everyone, keeping an eye on all the people who entered the Essence Spring.

Because of the high concentration of the world essence, it was difficult for evolvers to look inside the essence spring pond using their spiritual senses, so Blaze and Voidscar had no choice but to keep monitoring the people using their eyes so that no one would go deep inside the pond.

Although it was nearly impossible for Rank Two Core Evolvers to reach the bottom of the pond due to the chaotic world essence deep inside it, they still had to keep an eye on everyone just in case.

"What is this evolution essence drop they are talking about?" Evan muttered to himself as he heard the entire conversation between Blaze and Voidscar using his skill, Shadow Mark.

---) Shadow Mark: Using this skill, you can put a mark on your target's shadow. Using this mark, you can track the location of the targeted person and can even hear their conversation if they are not far away from you.

Earlier, when he entered the Essence Spring, he sneakily used the Shadow Mark skill on Blaze as he knew they were planning to do something.

Evan didn't know what is this evolution essence drop they were talking about, but judging from the way Blaze and Voidscar were talking, he could tell that it was definitely something precious.

"Well, from their conversation, I can tell that this so-called evolution essence drop is inside the pond, and since that's the case..." Evan said inwardly, a small smile appearing on his face as he thought about what he had done after entering the pond.

The Essence Spring pond was filled with a rich amount of world essence, and Evan's Primordial Shadow Core was absorbing it like a black hole.

"This Essence Spring is even better than the essence stone mines for increasing the rank of my core..." Evan said as he felt how fast his core was absorbing the world essence.

While absorbing the world essence, he suddenly thought about what he had done in the essence stone mine, and his eyes lit up. His hands, which were inside the water of the essence spring, glowed, and thorn-filled vines came out of them.

"Energy Devouring..." Using energy devouring, he increased his absorption speed even more.

While absorbing the world essence, Evan suddenly felt something, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Did he find something..." He muttered in a low voice and used the Shadow Senses skill.
