Necromancer Of The Shadows

Voidscar told Eldrakar and Baphomet everything that had happened around a month and a half ago.

When he finished speaking, the eyes of Baphomet and Eldrakar were wide open.

The rank six dragon and the demon looked at each other, and both could see the shock in each other's eyes.

A Rank One Core Evolver killed hundreds of Rank Two Core Evolvers from different races, including two Rank Three monsters.

Are you kidding us?

Both of them were among the top powerhouses of Utopia and knew that even for them, it would have been impossible to kill hundreds of Rank Two Core Evolvers along with Rank Three monsters when they were Rank One Core Evolvers.

For a second, both of them thought Voidscar was fooling them, but they knew he had no reason to lie.

Although Eldrakar and Baphomet were shocked, both of them were still the rulers of their races, so it didn't take them more than three seconds to come out of their shocked state and regain their composure.

"Do you have his photo?" Eldrakar asked with a serious look on his face.

Voidscar nodded his head upon hearing Eldrakar and took out a crystal from his storage ring. When he activated the crystal, it showed a holographic image of Evan that the Bloodmoon Auction had released when they announced the bounty on his head.

Upon seeing the image, Baphomet's reaction was quite tame and he just looked at it with narrowed eyes.

But unlike Baphomet, when Eldrakar saw the image, his pupils shrank and his face lost all its colour.

Seeing Eldrakar's abnormal reaction, Voidscar and Baphomet were taken aback.

"What's wrong?" Baphomet asked with a frown on his face.

Eldrakar didn't answer Baphomet's question and just looked at the holographic image with a lost look on his face.

Some memories from a few thousand years ago resurfaced inside his mind and the more he thought about it, the uglier his face became.

Seeing Eldrakar's expressions getting worse with each passing second, Baphomet suddenly thought of something and looked at the holographic image once again.

'Don't tell me this guy is...' Baphomet said inwardly and the way he looked at the image changed. 'Unlike me, who never saw the Shadow Monarch in person, Eldrakar had met him many times and even had conflicts with him. From his expression, it seems like the person in this holographic image looks like the Shadow Monarch himself.'

When Voidscar told Baphomet and Eldrakar about Evan, neither of them thought that the person in question was the Shadow Monarch himself.

Eldrakar thought that Evan might be someone who had skills similar to the Shadow Monarch, but the thought of him being the same person never crossed his mind.

After all, he knew the Shadow Monarch too well and was aware of his power level. It was impossible for him to think that the same person somehow became a Rank One Core Evolver.

As for Baphomet, upon hearing Voidscar, he immediately thought about the person who destroyed his essence clone in the lower world.

According to Voidscar, the rank of the person who caused the incident was not very high, indicating that he might have just arrived in Utopia using the Tower of Ascension not long ago.

Although the image Voidscar showed him was quite different from the person he saw in his essence clone's memory, he didn't think too much about it, assuming his appearance might have changed because of the evolution of his core after becoming a Rank One Core Evolver.

But looking at Eldrakar's expression, who looked as if he had seen a ghost, Baphomet was no longer sure about his guess.

In his eyes, although the person who destroyed his essence clone had many similarities to the Shadow Monarch, he didn't consider the possibility of the two being the same person.

But if the person in the image really looked like the Shadow Monarch, then things were completely different.

"Stop spacing out..." Baphomet lightly slapped Eldrakar's back, bringing him back to his senses.

"Huh?" Eldrakar was startled by the sudden slap and looked at Baphomet with a blank expression.

Baphomet didn't care about Eldrakar's blank look and asked in a serious voice, "You know this person?"

Eldrakar showed a complicated expression upon hearing Baphomet and said in a low voice, "His appearance is very similar to that bastard."

'As I thought...' Baphomet narrowed his eyes upon hearing Eldrakar and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"Do you think they are the same person?" He asked after a moment.

"Impossible..." Eldrakar denied it without any hesitation. "I don't know why he looks similar to him or why he can summon the shadow undeads, but it is absolutely impossible for both of them to be the same person. That guy was at the peak of Rank Six, so how can this Rank One Core Evolver be the same person as him?"

Baphomet frowned upon hearing Eldrakar and fell deep into thought.

'I don't know what kind of person the Shadow Monarch was, but just from the fact that this guy killed hundreds of top-level core evolvers who entered the Tomb along with Rank Three monsters, I can say that he might be even more dangerous than him.'

Baphomet looked at Voidscar who was listening to their conversation without saying anything and asked in a deep voice.

"Where is he now?"

Hearing Baphomet, Voidscar stopped looking at Eldrakar, who was obviously stunned after seeing Evan's image and replied.

"From what I know, he entered the first layer around one month ago."

"First layer?" Baphomet raised an eyebrow upon hearing Voidscar as he did not expect a Rank One Core Evolver would dare to enter the first layer, but when he thought about how Evan killed hundreds of top-level core evolvers, the surprise he was feeling quickly disappeared.

"Let's go to the first layer and meet him in person," He said to Eldrakar in a serious voice.

Eldrakar nodded his head upon hearing Baphomet and didn't refuse as there were many things he wanted to confirm and he needed to see Evan for that.

After making up their minds, both Eldrakar and Baphomet said goodbye to Voidscar and rushed towards the first layer.
