Necromancer Of The Shadows

Crack!

With a small cracking sound, Elora's neck was broken by Eldrakar and her body went limp.

The void dragon looked at the small girl he was holding by her neck; his hands turned into dragon claws, and he pierced her heart, destroying it in a single move.

After destroying Elora's heart and breaking her neck, Eldrakar threw her away like garbage and looked at Baphomet, who was standing not far away from him.

"What's wrong?" He asked with a frown on his face. "Why are you not forcing out the sealing energy from your body? Do you want it to spread further and sink into your core?"

Hearing Eldrakar, Baphomet came back to his senses and took a deep breath.

Honestly, he was stunned because he never thought a small child like Elora would be able to compete against him to such a level.

If Eldrakar hadn't interfered at the last second, even though he wouldn't have died, he was sure that Elora's attack would have seriously injured him because all of his powers were sealed.

Although the reason Elora was able to successfully seal his powers was because he wasn't using his full power due to the laws of the tomb, it was still a serious blow to his pride and deep down, he was feeling humiliated that he was nearly defeated.

'I should have been more careful...' Baphomet thought inwardly and a powerful force erupted from his Monarch Core, trying to drive out the sealing energy from his body.

'I have become too arrogant after sitting on top for so long that I underestimated my opponent and nearly got my a*s kicked by a small kid. Instead of rashly attacking, I should have thought with a clear mind and understood her powers before taking action...'

Although Baphomet was prideful and arrogant, he wasn't stupid and knew his shortcomings.

Even though he wasn't using most of his powers, he could have still avoided having his power sealed by Elora if he hadn't underestimated her.

Being a Rank Six Core Evolver and possessing a Monarch Core made him so arrogant that he never thought someone other than top core evolvers like Akasha, Eldrakar, and a few others could be his opponents.

From Baphomet's expression, Eldrakar could easily guess what he was thinking but he didn't bother to say anything.

Dragons were even more prideful than demons, and as the ruler of the dragons, Eldrakar's pride used to be even higher than the tallest mountain in the world so he could understand why Baphomet didn't take Elora seriously.

But the keyword here is 'Used to be'.

Due to a certain incident that happened in the past, Eldrakar stopped underestimating his opponents.

'At least, unlike me, who was almost beaten to death because of underestimating my opponent, he just got his power sealed and didn't suffer much...' Eldrakar thought inwardly and looked toward the deep pit where Evan was buried with hate-filled eyes.

It took Baphomet around ten minutes, almost double the amount of time Eldrakar took to force out the sealing energy.

The reason it took Baphomet a lot of time was not because he was weaker, but because the quality of the sealing force Elora sent inside his body was much higher than the quality that entered Eldrakar's body.

Once Baphomet fully recovered, he looked at Elora, who was lying in a puddle of her own blood and snorted coldly.

He used his spiritual senses to check the place where Evan was buried and soon found him.

"That guy is still alive..." Baphomet said in a cold voice while checking Evan's condition.

Although all of his bones were broken, most of his internal organs were damaged, and he was buried tens of meters deep inside a pit, he still had a little bit of life force remaining, indicating that he was still alive.

Eldrakar wasn't surprised when he heard Baphomet because he had already noticed Evan was still alive.

"Let me finish him," Baphomet was already pissed because of getting his powers sealed by Elora earlier so he said in a cold voice and was about to move toward Evan's location when suddenly...

Rumble!

The pillar of half-golden and half-black light behind them started to shake and a blackish-red aura, similar to the aura that was coming out of Elora started to emerge from it.

As the blackish-red aura started to come out of the pillar of light, Elora's body, which was lying in the puddle of her own blood began to disintegrate into light particles and these light particles began to merge with the blackish-red aura coming out of the pillar.

When Baphomet and Eldrakar saw what was happening, both of them were stunned.

Although they were stunned and didn't know what was happening, they still reacted quickly and attacked Elora, trying to completely destroy her disintegrating body.

But to their shock, when their attacks touched Elora's body, they passed through it as if her body was made of smoke.

Eldrakar and Baphomet didn't expect something like this to happen and before they could attack once again, Elora's entire body disintegrated and disappeared.

Once Elora's body disappeared, the shaking of the pillar stopped, and the blackish-red aura coming out from it vanished.

"What just happened?" Eldrakar asked with a confused look on his face, unable to understand the reaction of the pillar and how Elora's body disappeared.

Baphomet was also confused and looked at the pillar with narrowed eyes.

Suddenly, while looking at the pillar in confusion, both of them felt something and looked in the direction where Evan was buried.

"Hmmm?" Eldrakar narrowed his eyes while looking towards Evan's location and asked in a deep voice, "Did you feel it?"

Baphomet nodded his head upon hearing Eldrakar and said in a serious voice, "It was just for one second, but I felt the time flow in that area was disordered."

"Let's go and check him out. It must be the work of that imposter—"

BooooM!

Eldrakar was still in the middle of speaking when suddenly, a deep black aura burst outward from the pit Evan was buried in, and the sand and boulders that filled the pit were blown away.

Rumble!

The night sky of the third layer of the Tomb started to rumble as if a storm was coming and a terrifying cold aura that made even Baphomet and Eldrakar shudder filled the entire Tomb of the Ancient.
