Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Fu*k you, do you think a mere monster like you can fight against me?" Voidscar, in his dragon form, roared in anger and opened his mouth.

After sending a message to all the dragons, he was heading towards the source of the phenomenon when he came across this flying bird.

The bird was a Rank Three monster and Voidscar didn't want to fight needlessly, so he ignored the bird and chose to change his flying path. But to his shock, when he decided to change his path, the blackbird suddenly attacked him.

Although he was powerful, Voidscar couldn't ignore a monster who was Rank Three, so he stopped and defended himself against the bird's attack.

He was already pissed because of the misunderstanding caused by Evan, so the moment he was attacked by the blackbird, he lost his temper and a fight broke out between them.

The blackbird was powerful and its black flame had a corrosive effect, but Voidscar was a genius void dragon. A predator who was at the top of the food chain, so even though his rank was lower than the blackbird, he didn't find it difficult to face it.

They continued to fight, and the longer they fought, the more the blackbird regretted its decision to attack Voidscar.

Most of its subordinates who followed it were killed by Voidscar and it was also injured by his attacks.

Although it also injured Voidscar, the injuries the dragon received were all minor as most of the damage he received was stopped by his tough scales that were shining with void energy.

While fighting, unknowingly both of them moved in the direction of the source of the phenomenon and now were just a few kilometers away from it.

As Voidscar opened his giant mouth, his eyes blazed and Void Energy gathered inside his throat.

When Amber, Zorda, and Noel saw the fluctuations of void energy inside Voidscar's mouth, they hurriedly covered their ears using world essence and hands.

"Cover your ears if you don't want to become deaf," Amber reminded the vampires who stood with her and continued to look at the fight between the blackbird and Voidscar.

Caspian immediately closed his ears upon hearing Amber. Thomas and the other vampires were confused, but they decided to follow Amber's advice and closed their ears as well. The moment they closed their ears...

ROAR!

A thunderous dragon roar resounded throughout the second layer.

"Arghh," Although Thomas, Caspian, and others covered their ears, they still felt a headache when they heard the roar, and their ears started to bleed. They dropped to their knees and looked in Voidscar's direction with horror-filled eyes.

"He is stronger than before..." Amber muttered in a low voice and shook her head a little to regain her senses as even though she wasn't the target of his Void Dragon's Roar, she was still affected by it.

Screech!

When Thomas and others looked in Voidscar's direction, they heard the painful scream of the blackbird and their eyes opened wide.

"What—" Thomas' mouth hung open and he looked at the destruction in front of him with his eyes wide open.

Thousands of kilometres of area in the direction where Voidscar released his Roar were utterly destroyed. The tough ground of the second layer that Evan found difficult to destroy sank down and the mountain range that was within the path of his Void Dragon's Roar simply disappeared from existence.

In an area of ten meters around Voidscar, the space itself collapsed, leaving behind a gaping void. If not for the fact that the space of the second layer was far more powerful than the third layer of the Tomb, the damage would have been even more serious.

The blackbird was bleeding from all over, the brown fire that covered its body was very dim and most of its fur was blown away.

Unlike its previous majestic and sinister look, the blackbird was now looking like a featherless chicken.

Voidscar wanted to finish off the blackbird to avoid future trouble, but just when he was about to do another attack...

ROAR!

THUMP! THUMP! -

A roar filled with fury, followed by thumping of the chest interrupted Voidscar.

Voidscar looked in the direction of the sound and saw a brown-

coloured ape with blood-red eyes looking at him in anger. Behind the ape, hundreds of monsters were lying flat on the ground, bleeding from their mouth, eyes, ears, and nose. Although all of them were still alive, it was clear that most of the beginner-level and mid-level Rank one monsters would take at least one or two months to recover.

Voidscar's draconic eyes narrowed when he saw the ape as he could feel that it was very angry and thinking about attacking him.

When the ape attracted Voidscar's attention, the bird felt it was the best chance for it to run away, so it immediately gathered all of its energy and...

Fwishhhhh!

A storm of black fire erupted from its body, forcing Voidscar to quickly back away from there. The moment Voidscar backed away, a streak of black fire came out of the firestorm and flew away like a missile.

Voidscar looked in the direction the bird was fleeing and thought about chasing it, but when he felt the gaze of the ape on his back as if it was waiting for an opportunity to attack him, he decided to ignore the bird and returned back to his human form.

He landed on the ground and looked at the ape who was staring at him with its blood-red eyes. Voidscar sneered when he saw the gaze of the ape and chose to ignore it as he knew that the ape wouldn't attack him as long as he stayed alert and didn't give it a chance to sneak attack.

From the eyes of the ape, it was oblivious to Voidscar that the ape was intelligent and wouldn't act rashly after seeing what happened to the blackbird who was of the same rank as it.

"It will take a few days for the treasure to fully materialize..." Voidscar looked at the rainbow-coloured ball and thought it should be enough time for his subordinates to arrive here.

***

Far from the source of the phenomenon, on top of a rocky mountain, a blackbird was sleeping soundly.

The aura around the black bird was chaotic as if it was seriously injured and the black fur covering its body was messy. The black bird was the same monster who was beaten by Voidscar and it was currently healing its injuries.

It has been two days since it escaped from Voidscar and was planning to take its revenge after recovering.

A few thousand kilometers away from the black bird, a man with shoulder-length black hair, and sharp pointy elf-like ears looked at it with a sinister smile on his face.

"Old man, are you sure about this?" Evan asked while staring at the blackbird.

"If it works, then your chances of getting that thing will increase significantly, but if it doesn't work, well... you can always escape, right?"

Evan didn't say anything and looked at the blackbird silently. After a minute of silence, he sighed and took a deep breath.

"It's a beautiful bird..." He said and a black-coloured rifle covered in a deep red aura appeared in his hand. Evan aimed the rifle in the direction of the sleeping bird and the rifle's muzzle started to glow with deep blue light.

"A beautiful bird indeed."

Bang!
