Necromancer Of The Shadows

"By the way, Elora is not a real weapon spirit. She is someone I kidnapped long ago and turned into a weapon spirit."

Evan's mind went blank when he heard Azroth, and he looked at him without saying anything. After a few seconds, he finally came back to his senses and shouted in a voice filled with disbelief.

"You did what?"

Azroth was just a strand of energy, so when he was attacked by Evan's banshee-like scream, he staggered backwards.

After regaining his balance, he looked at Evan with a raised eyebrow and asked in a cold voice, "Didn't you pay attention earlier when Elora showed you the memory of what happened in the past?"

Evan frowned when he heard Azroth and thought about the memory he saw when he touched Elora's head.

Suddenly, he remembered what the figure emitting the sinister aura said when Azroth used the Halberd of Destruction.

'You turned that abomination into a soul weapon.'

A shocked look appeared on Evan's face as he recalled the figure's words, and he looked at the jet-black halberd with his mouth slightly open.

Although it was just a memory, Evan could feel the power of the four figures and the purple eye he saw in the dream. He wasn't one hundred percent sure, but he had a feeling that those four figures and the purple eye were even stronger than Eldrakar and Voidscar.

But even those people showed shocked expressions when Azroth took out the Halberd of Destruction, so he couldn't figure out just what kind of abomination they were speaking of.

"Were they referring to Elora?" Evan muttered in a low voice, but Azroth clearly heard him.

"Who else could it be if not her?" Azroth said in an indifferent voice. "Before I kidnapped her—"

"Stop using the word 'kidnap'," Evan interrupted Azroth midway with a look of disgust on his face. "Every time you say you kidnapped her, I can't help but imagine a scenario where you followed her like a sneaky uncle and kidnapped her by tempting her with candy."

Azroth stopped speaking and looked at Evan without any expression on his face.

Evan didn't care about the blank stare Azroth was giving him and repeatedly shook his head, trying to erase the scene that came to his mind.

Azroth's face was similar to his, so just thinking about someone looking like him tempting a kid using candy so that they could commit kidnapping made him cringe.

Seeing Evan shaking his head as if he was trying to erase something from his mind, Azroth thought for a second and said, "All right, I did not kidnap her. I just went out and picked her up to use as my weapon spirit while she was not paying attention."

'What's the difference between this and kidnapping, you bastard,' Evan wanted to shout when he heard Azroth, but seeing Azroth's expressionless look, he knew it was useless, so he didn't say anything.

"Before I turned Elora into a weapon spirit, she used to be one of the strongest beings in the universe. You can say that she practically terrorized the entire Origin Universe before I turned her into my weapon spirit."

For a moment, Evan's mind went blank hearing Azroth.

Terrorized the entire Origin Universe!

'Is he implying my daughter used to be a big bully?'

Evan thought about Elora's cute face and couldn't bring himself to believe that she terrorized the entire Origin Universe or used to be one of the strongest beings.

How could someone like her terrorize an entire universe? By stealing their food? After all, other than eating, Elora does not show much interest in other things.

Azroth looked at Evan's expressions, and as if he could read what he was thinking, he said in a plain voice.

"She didn't steal people's food; instead, she used to think of people as her food."

Evan opened his mouth to say something upon hearing Azroth, but after thinking for a while, he didn't know what to say, so he closed his mouth.

If she really thought of people as food and had the strength to be called one of the strongest beings, then he had no doubt about what Azroth said and that she could really terrorize the entire universe.

'Who can live peacefully if they knew a small girl could visit them anytime to eat them as her snacks?' Evan thought inwardly, feeling he needed to educate Elora properly.

Azroth didn't care about what Evan was thinking and continued.

"The Halberd of Destruction is not a simple weapon. Although I have turned Elora into a weapon spirit and she can't show her original power because she is now your soul weapon and her strength depends on you, this weapon is still a true incarnation of destruction. If used wisely, it can even destroy the entire world."

Evan couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air when he heard Azroth and wondered why this guy always talked about things like destruction or other similar topics.

Azroth was oblivious to Evan's inner thoughts, so after saying this, he didn't speak further and walked in front of the Halberd of Destruction.

After stopping in front of the Halberd, he stretched his palm in Evan's direction. As he stretched his palm, a suction force erupted from it, and Evan felt something being pulled out of his body.

He used his spiritual senses to look at his body and soon noticed a dark golden drop of energy coming out of his heart, which was covered in the outline of the Rune of Origin.

After leaving his heart, the drop of golden energy passed through his body and flew towards Azroth's palm, who caught it without any difficulty.

Evan was baffled when he saw Azroth extract something from his body, but soon he remembered what had happened when he absorbed the core of the peak Rank Three Eldritch Goblin earlier and immediately understood what the golden drop of energy was.

"Origin Essence," Evan muttered in a doubtful voice as he looked at the small drop of energy. When he had absorbed the core of the Eldritch Goblin earlier, he had received a drop of Origin Essence. Evan had thought about checking it out later as he wanted to meet Elora as soon as possible, but he didn't expect Azroth to extract the drop of Origin Essence from his body.

When Azroth heard Evan's low voice, he nodded his head, indicating that he was right and the thing in his hand was indeed the drop of Origin Essence.

After catching the drop of Origin Essence, Azroth brought it above the Halbred's handle and dropped it on it..
