Necromancer Of The Shadows

Because of Evan's sudden attack, the 20-meter-long sand lizard was heavily injured.

It might have successfully defended itself, but the sudden intervention of the monsters controlled by Evan's clone made it impossible for the lizard to stop the Abyssal Vortex, which was filled with the attacks of tens of Rank Two shadow undeads.

The deep yellow skin of the sand lizard was charred black and its eyes were a little dizzy.

But if one looked closely, they would see that even though the lizard was injured, its life force was as strong as ever and it was far from dying.

Just one second after the attack, the sand lizard came back to its senses and wanted to escape underground using its Sand Escape skill to recover.

However, the moment the thought of escaping underground came to its mind, a black, sharp spear covered in a deep purple flame tore through the space and struck it right on its back.

Although the sand lizard's skin was burnt due to the tens of attacks released by the Abyssal Vortex, its defence was still very high, so the spear only penetrated fifteen centimetres into its skin.

The lizard's whole body was 20 meters long, so when the spear made by the Shadow Forge skill struck it, it just felt like someone had struck its back with a toothpick and did not pay much attention to it.

With its current endurance, the sand lizard did not care about such a small injury and activated the Sand Escape skill, slowly submerging its body underground.

But just before the whole body of the lizard submerged into the sand, it suddenly felt something and a painful roar escaped its mouth.

ROAR!

The sand lizard suddenly jumped out of the sand and started coughing up blood.

Seeing this, Evan's lips arched upwards into a big smile.

"Looks like my guess was correct..." He said in a delighted voice, looking at the place where his spear created by the Shadow Forge skill had struck the lizard.

At this moment, the tip of the black spear that had penetrated the skin of the sand lizard was glowing slightly and there was a small fist-sized portal in front of it.

From the portal, a black hand glowing with blood-red light was coming out and the blood flow inside the lizard's body was in complete disarray. Its blood was flowing at the speed of a bullet train, destroying its blood vessels and damaging its internal organs.

"The spear is made using my shadow, and my shadow is connected with the Shadow Storage," Evan said with a smile on his face. "At first, I was doubtful whether I would be able to open the shadow storage after turning my shadow into a solid object, but now it is obvious that I can use the shadow storage even after turning my shadow into a solid object."

Through the portal opened by the shadow storage inside the lizard's body, Zorda used his unique skill, Blood Rampage.

Normally, it would have been very difficult for Zorda to affect the mid-level Rank Three sand lizard using his skill, but because of the portal opened by the shadow storage, his hand made direct contact with the lizard's blood, greatly increasing the power of his skill.

The sand lizard was rolling on the sandy ground in pain, with blood flowing out from its eyes, mouth, nose, and ears.

Just by looking at it, anyone could tell that it was in great pain. But due to its high endurance, even though its blood vessels burst apart, it was still far from death.

"Let's end this..." Seeing the Sand Lizard was rolling in pain, Evan muttered in a low voice as he wasn't a fan of torturing someone for no reason.

The storage ring he was wearing flashed, and a silver-coloured sword, releasing the aura of a Peak Rank Two artefact appeared in his hands.

The name of the sword was Moon's Edge, and he found it in one of the storage rings he collected after the incident.

The storage ring that Evan was wearing was actually filled with many different kinds of artifacts and there was no shortage of Rank Two weapons among them.

After taking out Moon's Edge, Evan used Temporal Velocity to increase his agility by 30% and, at the same time, covered the sword using the Red Fire of the Prismatic Fire.

After covering the sword in red fire, he flapped his shadow wings and in an instant, arrived above the sand lizard's head.

The sand lizard was rolling on the ground at rapid speed, but because of the effect of Temporal Velocity, in Evan's eyes, the lizard was rolling at the speed of a turtle.

Before the sand lizard could even register his presence above its head, Evan lifted the silver-coloured sword clad in red fire and plunged it inside the lizard's head.

ROAR!

A fountain of red blood spurted out and the lizard roared in pain as the Moon's Edge sword plunged deep inside its head.

Although the sword penetrated deep inside its head, it was still far from reaching its brain. The sand lizard wanted to throw away Evan by rolling away, but before it could, the silver-coloured sword in Evan's hand lit up.

"Moon Light!" He said in a low voice and activated the skill of the Moon's Edge sword.

Swish!

The moment he activated the sword's skill, from the edge of the sword, which was plunged deep inside the lizard's head, a sharp silver-coloured sword light, covered in destructive red fire shot out and penetrated its brain in an instant.

The moment the sword light pierced its brain, the sand lizard, which was trying to throw off Evan stopped and its life force slowly faded away.

Thud!

With a thudding sound, the giant body of the sand lizard dropped to the sand ground, with blood flowing out from the top of its head.

Evan looked at the lifeless body of the sand lizard and his lips curled up. He stopped using the Shadow Forge skill, and the black-coloured spear plunged into the lizard's back turned back into his shadow.

"Last time, it took me nearly three days to kill that mid-level Rank Three monster, but this time, I killed a mid-level Rank Three monster in less than three minutes," Evan said in a low voice, thinking about the scorpion he faced when he went to the location of the Time Liquid.

Evan pulled out the Moon's Edge sword from the lizard's head and wiped the blood from its blade.

After cleaning the sword, he put it into the storage ring and jumped down from the top of the lizard's body.

The moment he jumped down, a black shadow engulfed the entire body of the sand lizard and it sank down inside his shadow storage.

After putting away the body of the sand lizard, Evan looked at the bodies of the other monsters and activated the Shadow Resurrection skill.

Under the effect of the Shadow Resurrection skill, all the monsters, other than the Rank One turned into shadow undeads.

The reason the Rank One monsters didn't turn into shadow undeads was that their bodies were blasted into smithereens by the powerful attacks released by the Abyssal Vortex and it was impossible for Evan to turn them.

After turning the monsters into shadow undeads, Evan stopped using the Shadow World and the black dome that covered him disappeared.

Once the black dome vanished, Evan took Elora with him and once again moved towards the pillar of light. While Evan was making his way towards the pillar of light, Eldrakar and Baphomet, who were faster than him, had already reached the centre area of the first layer and stopped some distance away from the pillar of light.
