Necromancer Of The Shadows

"What is behind this door, Elora?" Evan asked, looking at the giant door in front of him.

Elora didn't answer Evan's question and walked in front of the door, trying to open it.

When Elora touched the giant door to open it, all the runes engraved on it lit up with bright light and a threatening aura that sent a chill down Evan's spine filled the entire third floor.

Feeling the chilling aura, Evan wanted to pull Elora away and escape, but before he could, the blood inside his body started moving faster and a crimson-red aura began to emanate from his body.

As the crimson-red aura erupted from his body and made contact with the door, all the engraved runes that were shining returned to normal, and the threatening aura that filled the third floor disappeared.

"What the fu*k was that..." Evan muttered in a low voice while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Slowly, the crimson-red aura coming out of his body started to recede and his blood returned to normal.

Evan looked at Elora, who was pushing the door open, and noticed she wasn't affected by the threatening aura that came out of the door.

'It might be a safety mechanism that activates when someone other than Elora enters the third floor...' Evan thought inwardly as he looked at the little red-haired girl. 'But this protection mechanism deactivated after sensing the aura of my Doom Bringer bloodline.'

Evan was confused as to why the protective runes deactivated after sensing the aura of his bloodline, but his thoughts were interrupted when Elora finally opened the door.

Boom!

With a loud booming sound, the giant door was slammed open, and the moment it opened, a heavy stench of iron filled the air.

The smell was so heavy that Evan had to cover his nose with his hands. After covering his nose, he glanced inside the room, but couldn't see anything because the entire room was covered in red mist.

"Let's go, Father," Unlike Evan, Elora wasn't affected by the strong smell of blood and entered the room without hesitation.

Evan wanted to stop Elora, but before he could, she already entered the room and disappeared inside the red mist.

Seeing Elora enter, Evan didn't hesitate and took a step forward, entering the room as well. In order to avoid being distracted by the heavy stench of blood, he covered his face using world essence to filter the air.

"This red mist..." Evan raised an eyebrow when the red mist covering the room came into contact with his body because, for some reason, his blood became excited when his body came into contact with the mist.

"Where is Elora?" Evan tried to look for Elora, but because of the heavy red mist that was obstructing his vision, he couldn't find her. He attempted to use his spiritual senses to locate her but was stunned to find that the red mist was preventing his spiritual senses from spreading outwards, allowing him to sense only a ten-meter radius around him.

"Elora," Evan called out loudly, hoping for a reply that would help him locate her through her voice.

"Father, come here..."

Evan glanced to his right, where he heard Elora's voice, and quickly walked in her direction.

As Evan walked in the direction of the voice, the red mist around him began to thin, and a few seconds later, he finally escaped the area covered in red mist.

"Father, over here," The moment he emerged from the red mist, he heard Elora's voice and saw her waving her hands towards him.

"Don't run wit—" Evan wanted to scold her for rushing into the room without listening to him, but his words got stuck inside his mouth when he noticed something behind Elora.

"What the fu*k is this?" Evan muttered with his eyes wide open as he looked at a small pool of blood behind Elora.

Evan had witnessed many bloody scenes since the moment he was transmigrated to the Arora World, so a small pool of blood which was only five meters in diameter wasn't enough to shock him. However, what left him astounded was the immense energy emanating from the small pool of blood.

'Rather than a pool of blood, I feel like I'm looking at an entire ocean filled with energy...' Evan thought inwardly and activated his Eyes Of The Abyss to clearly see the energy emanating from the pool.

The moment Evan used the Eyes Of Abyss, his vision changed and he saw a vast amount of bright golden energy inside the blood pool.

'This amount of energy... I am sure my body would explode if I entered inside this pool,' Evan thought as he walked closer to the blood pool.

As Evan approached the pool, he suddenly noticed something strange and a frown appeared on his face.

'This... It's not blood.' Evan stopped some distance away from the pool and his eyes gleamed a little.

Looking at the density of the red liquid inside the pool, he realized it was too dense to be called blood.

"Instead of blood, it looks like red syrup," He muttered in a low voice and used his Eyes of Abyss to their full power.

Using the Eyes of Abyss to their full power, Evan finally found what was the red thing inside the pool.

"It's not blood but the blood essence of a powerful creature," Evan muttered and guessed that the rank of the creature who left behind this blood essence must have been rank five or six.

"The amount of energy inside this pool is so high that I might not be able to survive even for five seconds after entering," Evan said with a wry smile on his face and shook his head.

Just when Evan was looking at the pool with a look of interest on his face, Elora walked near him and grabbed his hand.

"What's wrong, Elora?" He raised an eyebrow when he saw Elora grabbing his hand.

Elora smiled when she heard him and said something that sent a chill down his spine.

"Go inside the pool, Father."
