Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Tell me more about the Heart of Origin and my race, Eltharon," Evan asked after a moment.

"The Heart of Origin is something we were born with. It signifies our status as the Origin Holder. Without the Heart of Origin, you won't be able to enter the Origin Universe."

"I can't enter the Origin Universe without it..." Evan frowned when he heard the man. "So it's like a sort of pass that allows me to enter the Origin Universe."

"You are not entirely correct, but you can say that. You will eventually learn more about it as you increase the rank of your core," The man replied without any change in his expression and continued.

"As for your race, Eltharon, I can't say much because even I wasn't able to develop it to its full potential. You just need to know that this race gives you enormous power, but at the same time, it can be called a cursed race because you have to pay a very high price for that power."

'Cursed race,' Evan's eyes trembled for a second when he heard the man and he thought about his Cursed One title and the curse of his bloodline.

"Our bloodline, Doom Bringer, is it also related to this race, Eltharon?"

"Yes," The man replied with a cold smirk on his face. "You have tried the Life Steal ability of our bloodline that you awakened upon reaching the second stage. What do you think about it?"

Hearing the man, Evan thought about the scene where he had used the Life Steal ability of his bloodline on a mid-level Rank Two monster a few days ago and only one word came to his mind.

"Scary."

The cold smirk on the man's face stretched a little upon hearing Evan's reply and he said in the same tone of voice.

"That's why I told you the Eltharon race gives you enormous power, and guess what, your bloodline is still just partially awakened and your race is far from reaching its full potential."

Evan was startled when he heard the man and opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out.

'Damn, just what kind of broken race is this?'

'It is a broken race, but the price you have to pay to get this power...' The man thought to himself and the coldness around him increased a bit.

He looked at Evan, who was deep in thought and closed his eyes for a second.

'He is moving in the right direction. Maybe, this time we will achieve our desired result.'

"Can you tell me what is the connection of our race with Demons and Elves?"

When Evan asked the question, for a moment, he felt the temperature in his soul space plummet to the freezing point, but this anomaly did not last long and everything returned to normal in less than a second.

'He looks pissed...' Evan thought inwardly when he noticed the coldness in the eyes of the man increased greatly upon hearing his question.

"There is no relationship between our race and them," The man said in a cold voice.

'As if...' Evan wanted to roll his eyes when he heard the man.

His appearance looks very similar to elves, and the aura around him is that of demons.

On top of that, for some reason, he can turn higher-level demons into his shadow undeads, breaking the restrictions of his shadow resurrection skill.

But even after all these things, this guy is saying there is no relationship between his race Eltharon, demons, and elves.

'By the way, I just realized this guy is a top-level air conditioner. My soul space is quite big, but he can cool it down in a matter of seconds just by releasing his chilling aura...' Evan thought to himself when he felt the coolness around him.

When the man heard Evan's thought, he looked at him coldly and the temperature around him dropped even further.

'Damn, now this air conditioner turned into a blast freezer.' Evan gulped when he felt the cold gaze on him and quickly asked another question.

"What is the Universal Tree and how is it related to the World Tree that is inside the hidden world of the Dryads?"

The man looked at Evan for a few seconds before replying coldly, "Just go to the place where the World Core of the hidden world of the Dryads is located and you will get your answer."

Evan wanted to ask more questions, like what the 'World Will' was that helped him when he was in the Arora World or about the World Domain where he entered upon using the Tower of Ascension, but before he could ask more questions, the man spoke in the same cold and indifferent voice.

"The effect of the Time Watch is about to end."

Evan closed his mouth, which he had opened to ask more questions, but before going back, he wanted to ask one last question.

"Before I go back, can you tell me what I... no, what we are?"

Hearing Evan's question, the man raised an eyebrow in surprise, but soon the surprised expression on his face disappeared.

The man thought about the question Evan had just asked, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke in a voice that was less cold than before.

"You don't have to think too much about what you are. Just move forward like you have been doing so far, and most importantly, don't forget our Origin."

"Our Origin?" Evan looked at the man in confusion.

"Yes, our Origin," The man nodded and continued.

"Our Origin is the answer to your earlier question. You asked what we are; there are many answers to that question, but if I have to put it in simple words, then:

We Are The Ruler Of The Life And Bringer Of The Death!

We Are The Beginning!"

Evan didn't know why, but when he heard the man's words, his mouth opened on its own and two cold voices resounded in his soul space at the same time.

"We Are The End!"

The moment the man finished speaking, the soul space started to crumble and just before Evan's consciousness disappeared from the dark space, he heard the man speak two familiar words.

"Shadow Possession!"
