Necromancer of The Shadows

"Don't think about doing anything stupid. The moment you try to do something weird, the Rune will activate once again and..." Evan said in a deep voice, making a snapping motion with his scissors, while Gobu licked the blade of his large knife with a menacing expression on his face.

"I am not someone who goes back on his word. As long as you don't do anything that harms me or my people, I will do everything within my power to help you," Velgoth replied calmly as he stood up from the ground, smiling slightly as he felt the power once again coursing through his body.

"When will those people from the Origin Universe arrive?" Evan nodded at Velgoth's words and asked.

"The person I spoke to said it would take four or five days for them to arrive because of the interference from the Chaotic Zone. It's already been more than three days since I contacted them, so they can arrive at any time now..." Velgoth glanced around and after a moment, added, "It's also possible they're already here and watching us from somewhere."

"Don't jinx it, you bastard..." Evan cursed Emperor Velgoth upon hearing his words and tried to sense if someone was truly watching them.

Only after scanning the area repeatedly and feeling no signs of anyone observing them did he calm down and wave his hand.

"Go handle those guys. We will move soon to take care of that Eldritch Horror." He said, pointing toward the army of Eldritch Creatures, who were staring at them in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

Velgoth nodded upon hearing Evan and added before leaving. "You don't need to worry too much about that Rank Five Eldritch Horror. It was at the peak of Rank Four just a few days ago and only broke through to Rank Five after I gave it control over the world core. So, even though it's at Rank Five, compared to me, who has been at Rank Five for thousands of years, it's nothing but a small fry."

"Yeah, yeah, you are the strongest Rank Five creature in the universe. Now go take care of your army," Evan said, making a shooing gesture with a plain look on his face, paying no further attention to Velgoth.

Even though the Eldritch Horror had only recently broken through to Rank Five, there was no way Evan would take it lightly, especially when both of his Authorities, Death Guardian and Master of Shadows were currently in a cooldown state.

Velgoth's mouth twitched when he saw Evan wasn't taking his words seriously, but he remained silent. After all, he had been defeated by Evan, who was two realms below him.

'Nah, I didn't lose because I was weak. I lost because this bastard is just too abnormal...' Velgoth thought, recalling the second move of the Soul Slayer War Arts that Evan had used against him.

'That phantom... If I am not mistaken, it was definitely the phantom of one of the Primordials. But as far as I know, this guy has messed with every single Primordial, and they all hate him to the core. So why did the phantom of that Primordial help him?' Velgoth pondered but soon shook his head.

'Forget it, I am too young to get involved in the mess of these old bastards. I should just do as he says and live a carefree, happy life.'

Velgoth soon reached the location where Morvael and the other Eldritch Creatures were gathered. Noticing that the number of those who had come with him had decreased by around ten thousand, he sighed inwardly.

'Even though all the people I brought were elites, even they couldn't do anything against an army that's literally immortal.'

"Your Majesty, are you all right?" The moment the Eldritch Creatures saw Velgoth approaching, they all sighed in relief and at the same time, they were confused as to why Evan had let him go.

"I am fine..." Velgoth regained his composure after coming before his army and spoke in a dignified voice. "Prepare yourselves, we are heading back to the capital."

The Eldritch Creatures were surprised when they heard they were heading back to the capital and subconsciously glanced at Evan, who was in the process of summoning his shadow undeads back into his shadow storage.

"Your Majesty, what abo—"

"Don't worry about him. We don't need to fight him anymore," Velgoth interrupted Morvael mid-sentence and signalled for him to organize everything for their return.

Morvael understood that Velgoth didn't want to discuss this matter in front of everyone, so he nodded and began instructing all the Eldritch Creatures.

Soon, all the Eldritch Creatures were ready to head back, and Velgoth approached Evan.

"We can head back now."

"All right," Evan nodded and walked toward the barrier that had previously prevented him from moving forward.

"By the way..." As they neared the barrier, Evan remembered something, and he looked at Velgoth. "What is this 'World Blessing' that allows high-level Eldritch Creatures to revive? Is it also related to the World Core?"

"Yes," Velgoth nodded at Evan's question. "As I mentioned earlier, the World Core absorbs all the energy of the dead, including their souls. But with my control over the World Core, I can mark certain individuals so they won't be absorbed by it. If they die while still inside Azragoth World, the World Core collects all of their remaining energy, including their soul, and revives them." He paused briefly before adding.

"Of course, to do this, we need to consume the pure essence that the World Core creates after absorbing the energy of the deceased people."

Evan's eyes lit up upon hearing Velgoth's explanation, and he asked in an eager voice, "Since that's the case, give me the World Blessing as well."

"That..." Velgoth's body stiffened when he heard Evan's request, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"What? Don't tell me you can't even do that because the Eldritch Horror's control over the World Core has exceeded yours," Evan said in a deadpan voice.

Velgoth's mouth twitched when he heard Evan, and he reluctantly nodded.

"You, motherf*ker..." Evan cursed Velgoth and was about to give him another beating, but before he could—

"Let's head inside quickly," Velgoth said as he reached in front of the barrier in an instant, creating an opening for Evan to pass through.

Seeing the opening, Evan didn't enter immediately and stared at Velgoth for a few moments. Only after confirming that there was nothing wrong with Velgoth's expression and that he wasn't playing any trick did he take a step forward and enter through the barrier.
