Necromancer Of The Shadows

Above the Boundless Ocean, hundreds of islands were floating high in the sky. From time to time, different kinds of dragons were flying from one island to another. (Read ch-566 for more details about the Dragon Islands)

On the central island of the Dragon Islands, Eldrakar was sleeping soundly in his giant dragon form. Void energy was gushing out of his body like tidal waves and the entire area where he was sleeping had turned into a void energy paradise.

Suddenly, in the middle of the area surrounded by the Void Energy, a man dressed in white clothes appeared. The man had two white horns on top of his head and the aura around him was that of a mid-level Rank Four dragon. Although the aura around the man was quite powerful, for some reason, the man's face was pale white and his body was shaking a bit.

The moment the man appeared there, Eldrakar opened his eyes and looked at him lazily. "What's wrong, Casimir?"

Casimir gulped his saliva when he heard Eldrakar and he said in a shaky voice. "That... Master, the dragons— that...."

Eldrakar raised an eyebrow when he saw the way Casimir was acting and he returned back to his human form.

"Casimir, take a deep breath and calm down," Eldrakar patted the man's shoulder and said in a serious voice.

Casimir's body stopped shaking when Eldrakar patted him and he started to take deep breaths. Eldrakar waited patiently for him to calm down and after a few minutes, he noticed Casimir finally calmed down.

"Are you fine now?" Eldrakar asked once he saw Casimir wasn't shaking anymore.

Casimir nodded his head hearing Eldrakar and finally told him why he came here. "Master, just now around fifty soul lamps of the dragons who entered the Tomb Of The Ancient shattered one after another."

"What!..." Eldrakar's eyes opened wide in shock when he heard Casimir and he lost control over his aura for a moment.

Rumble!

The hundreds of dragon islands floating high in the sky started to shake because of his powerful aura and the dragons living on them looked towards the central part of the Dragon Islands with a look of fear on their faces.

"Voidscar... Is his soul lamp all right?" Eldrakar asked with his eyes glowing with void energy.

Casimir's entire body was shaking because of Eldrakar's aura, but he gritted his teeth and nodded his head.

Seeing Casimir nodding his head, Eldrakar finally calmed down a little and stopped releasing his aura.

Although Eldrakar calmed down a little after knowing his son was fine, his eyes were still filled with anger and he asked in a cold voice, "Tell me what happened?"

Casimir nodded his head hearing Eldrakar and took out a small crystal.

"Although we were not able to find out exactly what happened because the Tomb Of The Ancient is a completely different realm, separate from Utopia. We still successfully retrieved this small video from the shattered soul lamps of the victims," Casimir said and activated the crystal that he took out.

As he activated the crystal, a holographic screen appeared in front of Eldrakar, showing him a small video.

Upon looking at the video, Eldrakar's entire body shook and his eyes opened wide in shock.

"Just what kind of monster did they encounter that caused such a disaster?"

"Empress," A woman with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake entered a room and said in a respectful voice.

"Hmmm..." Hearing the woman, a giant white snake opened its eyes and looked at her with an emotionless expression.

Seeing the giant snake looking at her, the woman lowered her head even more and said in a respectful tone, "Something happened to our people who entered the Tomb Of The Ancient."

The eyes of the white snake narrowed when it heard the woman and signalled her to continue.

The woman told the snake about how many of the Soul Lamps of the people who entered the Tomb suddenly shattered one after another, and similar to Casimir, she also showed her a video.

Looking at the scene in the video, the indifferent expression on the snake's face disappeared and its eyes also widened in shock.

Similar scenes were taking place in the Bloodmoon Empire, Elvenshine, and other places as well. No matter whether they were beastkins, dragons, Mechadroids, Vampires, Demons, or any other species, all of them suddenly received the bad news that the soul lamps of many of the people who entered the Tomb Of The Ancient had shattered.

In the Gehenna Empire, Baphomet, who was preparing to launch an attack on the Shadow Realm also received the news and his face turned ugly when he heard that more than three hundred demons who entered the Tomb had died.

"Do we have any clue about what happened there?" Baphomet asked while trying his best to hold his anger.

The low-level demon who was kneeling in front of Baphomet shuddered and nodded his head. He took out a crystal from his storage ring and played a video.

Looking at the scene in the video, Baphomet's eyes opened wide in shock.

"Just what kind of monster caused such a massacre?" Baphomet muttered in a shocked voice as he looked at piles of dead bodies scattered all over.

In the video, the ground was dyed red with blood and dead bodies of Vampires, Dragons, Monsters, Demons, Elves, and other species were scattered all over.

"That black gloomy sky...it's the second layer of the Tomb," Baphomet muttered, and the shock he was feeling increased even more.

After seeing such a disastrous scene, he thought it happened in the third layer where you can encounter peak Rank Three monsters, but looking at the gloomy sky, he realized that all the people in the video died in the second layer.

Baphomet continued to look at the video with a focused expression, and soon, the video stopped in front of a small mountain.

At first, Baphomet was confused as to why the video stopped there, but soon the video moved and his eyes opened wide when he realized the mountain was actually made of a pile of corpses. At the top of the mountain of corpses, a man whose face was covered by his long black hair, drenched in blood was sitting.

Through the gap of his hair, Baphomet looked at the eyes of the man and noticed they were pitch black, even the sclera of his eyes was black. For a moment, the eyes of Baphomet met with the eyes of the man and the video ended
