Necromancer of The Shadows

Evan sat on top of the fortress, which was covered in a barrier, and closed his eyes, sensing his connection with the World Core.

As he tried to connect with the World Core, the star-shaped mark, that was engraved on his core and represented his connection with the World Core began to glow.

In the castle, Evan's clone looked at the few drops of pale blue pure essence within the world core and noticed they were trembling slightly as if something was calling them.

Through his connection with the World Core, Evan realized that he could use the pure essence to increase his comprehension ability for a short period of time.

During this time, he would be able to sense all the concepts very clearly and if he used all the pure essence he had, it wouldn't be difficult to increase his understanding of the Void Energy to at least 90%.

Other than increasing his understanding of Void Energy, he could also use the pure essence to increase the rank of his core or strengthen his physical body or soul.

If it were a normal time, Evan would have chosen to utilize the pure essence to strengthen his soul to increase his spiritual power. Currently, his strongest aspect was his spiritual power, which was already comparable to a normal beginner-level Rank Four Core Evolver.

It was because his spiritual power was so high that he could paralyze millions of monsters using the Gaze of Monarch skill, and even a Peak Rank Three Core Evolver couldn't stand before him when he used his spiritual power.

Not only that, but as the power of his soul increased, his comprehending ability would also increase along with it because, to sense concepts, one needed a strong soul.

Although using the pure essence to increase his spiritual power was most beneficial to him, he couldn't do it now because, for what he planned to do next, he needed a large amount of energy for that task.

Even though his current energy reserve was already higher than even some of the mid-level Rank Three core evolvers, he knew it wouldn't be enough while facing high-level core evolvers who had reached Rank Five or Six.

"I should receive a considerable amount of boost in my stat points after reaching mid-level Rank Three," Evan muttered to himself and finally decided to increase the rank of his core to not only increase his energy reserves but to increase his overall strength as well.

The moment Evan decided to increase the rank of his core, the drops of pure essence within the World Core began to disappear one after another.

Inside Evan's body, the star-shaped mark engraved on his core began to glow wildly, and out of nowhere, drops of pale blue pure essence appeared there.

The moment the drops of pure essence appeared, his Primordial Monarch Core began to spin rapidly and a powerful suction force came from it, absorbing the pure essence instantly.

As it absorbed the pure essence, the essence melted into a large amount of energy, and the rank of his core began to rise.

He had just broken through to Rank Three a few days ago and was still at the starting point of the beginner level of Rank Three.

However, as his core refined the pure essence, in less than five minutes, his core reached the very peak of beginner-level Rank Three.

Although he reached the peak of beginner-level Rank Three, there was still more than half of the pure essence left and his core was still refining it rapidly.

Under the constant energy supply of the pure essence, the wall blocking his path to mid-level Rank Three was as fragile as a sheet of glass and it began to crack without any resistance.

The spinning speed of the Primordial Monarch Core continued to increase, and with it, the refining speed of the pure essence also increased.

Crack! Crack! - - - -

Evan heard the sound of something cracking, and with one final push, the wall blocking his path to mid-level Rank Three shattered, and a surge of energy erupted from his core, spreading throughout his body and increasing all of his stat points.

Along with his physical powers, his spiritual power also increased greatly. Although it did not reach mid-level Rank Four and was quite far from it, the boost he received was quite significant.

Even after he broke through to mid-level Rank Three, there was still quite some pure essence left, and as his core refined it, its rank continued to increase.

In just a few minutes, he refined the remaining pure essence, and his rank went from the early stage of mid-level Rank Three to the late stage of mid-level Rank Three, almost reaching the peak of mid-level Rank Three and breaking through one more time.

Evan sighed deeply as he felt the surging power within his body, and a look of regret flashed in his eyes.

"If that Rank Five Eldritch Horror was also absorbed by the World Core, I am certain that I would have been able to reach the peak of Rank Three easily and would still have some pure essence left to strengthen my other aspects," He said under his breath and stood up.

After standing up, Evan wanted to check his status window to see the changes, but before he could focus on it, he felt something strange and placed his hand on the Rune of Evolution engraved on his chest.

Controlling his armor, he made the clothes covering his chest disappear, revealing the Rune, which was glowing faintly as if undergoing some sort of transformation.

"What's wrong with it?" Evan frowned when he saw the unusual reaction from the Rune of Evolution and scanned it using his spiritual senses, but even with that, he couldn't detect any clear anomalies.

Just as Evan was pondering over the changes, his heart began to pound wildly, and the entire Azragoth World started to tremble.

Raising his head, Evan's gaze turned to the red-orange sky, where ominous cracks were beginning to appear, as though something—or someone—was tearing the sky apart.

The crack widened rapidly, and the tremors across the Azragoth World intensified. Along with the expanding rift, powerful auras surged in all directions, spreading throughout the world like a suffocating wave.

Evan's stopped paying attention to the Rune of Evolution and his eyes narrowed.

"They are here," He muttered in a low voice and his deep black eyes flashed with cold light.
