Necromancer of The Shadows - Chapter 1184: Tree Of Life (part 1)
High in the sky, a cube made of transparent blood, nearly ten kilometres in size, floated without any visible support.
Inside the cube, two figures moved like lightning, clashing against each other over and over, shaking the walls of the cube with each impact.
The speed of the figures moving within the cube was so fast that even peak Rank Three Core Evolvers couldn’t see them clearly.
“Damn it, things are becoming more and more troublesome with each passing day,” Zorda, who was maintaining the blood cube muttered, his face twisted in frustration as he looked down from the sky. “At this rate, this planet won’t survive for long.”
As Zorda looked down, he saw black smoke rising everywhere, shattered buildings, collapsed ground, and chaos spreading in every direction.
After observing the destruction below for a few seconds, his gaze pierced through space, landing on the portal in Antarctica.
Near the portal, several rank three shadow undeads had erected multiple barriers and were fighting against many rank one, rank two and a few rank three people, who were constantly pouring out from the portal.
If not for the barriers that the shadow undeads had erected, the entire Antarctic continent—or even the Earth—would have been destroyed by the aftermath of their battle.
“Elysia, we don’t have much time. Kill him quickly, the other portals are showing signs of breaking open as well,” Zorda shouted, looking at the two figures fighting inside the blood cube.
“Damn it, do you think killing a Peak Rank Four Core Evolver in minutes is easy?” Elysia’s irritated voice echoed from within the cube.
But noticing the urgency in Zorda’s voice, she didn’t delay any longer and made her move.
Suddenly, a dazzling light filled the cube, making it hard even for Zorda to see what was happening inside.
Just looking at the bright light inside the cube, the mid-level Rank Four Zorda felt as if his soul was burning.
“Soul Searing!” As he felt the strange burning in his soul, he heard Elysia’s cold voice and the next moment—
“Arghhhh!” A painful scream echoed across the sky, making the entire cube tremble.
Zorda immediately closed his eyes, not daring to look at the bright light, that seemed to burn all the souls in existence.
The dazzling light lasted for nearly ten seconds and when it dissipated, Elysia’s figure came into Zorda’s view.
She was missing one of her arms, and her body was covered with deep scars, showing the toll the fight had taken.
In front of her, a two-meter-tall man with light blue skin writhed on the ground, screaming in agony as if his soul were on fire.
Elysia’s eyes were cold as she looked at the man in front of her, and with a snap of her fingers, a sharp sword, made of light appeared in her hand.
“See ya, you motherfu*ker,” She cursed, and with a single slash, severed his head.
As the man’s blood spread across the transparent floor of the cube, Zorda’s eyes flashed, and all of the blood was absorbed into the cube, darkening its colour.
Elysia took a deep breath and once the the life force of the Rank Four man faded, she stored his body in her storage ring.
After putting away the body, she used her skill and a bright light surrounded her, healing her injuries and regenerating her missing arm.
As the fight ended, Zorda also deactivated the blood cube that had protected the Earth from the battle’s aftermath, and Elysia stepped out.
The cube dissolved into a mass of blood in the sky, which Zorda then swallowed. As he absorbed the blood, including that of the Peak Rank Four man Elysia had just slain, Zorda’s aura surged, slightly stronger than before.
Elysia glanced at Zorda from the corner of her eye, and without a word, dashed toward Antarctica, where the shadow undeads were still locked in combat.
When she arrived in Antarctica and saw its condition, she couldn’t help but sigh.
“If things keep going like this, it won’t be long before the entire continent collapses,” She muttered as she approached the battlefield.
After coming to the battlefield, instead of assisting the shadow undead to deal with the people coming out of the portal, Elysia created a massive barrier that nearly encompassed all of Antarctica, stabilizing the region.
After creating the barrier, she ignored the ongoing fight and flew to another portal connected to Utopia.
“From the energy fluctuations, the next wave should come through this portal,” She muttered, looking at the portal in front of her.
She looked at the portal for a few seconds before she used her spiritual senses to scan the entire Earth.
Through her spiritual senses, she found that the world was in utter chaos, with many cities destroyed.
“It’s already been more than three months since Master left. The rank of the people coming from the portals is increasing day by day. At this rate, it won’t be long before this entire planet is destroyed.”
Time flowed differently on Earth compared to other places. Because of this time difference, it had been more than three months for Elysia and the others since Evan left.
During this time, they had tried to stop the people coming from the portals, but as time passed, it became inevitable that the Earth suffered considerable damage due to the fighting between high-level Core Evolvers.
The hunters on Earth were mostly useless in this situation. On earth, the highest-ranked hunters were S-rankers, and even S+ ranked hunters could barely hold their own against a newly promoted Rank One Core Evolver.
The people coming from the portals were mostly Rank Two or above, making it impossible for the hunters to assist Elysia and the other shadow undeads.
“I wasn’t planning to use this because that bit*h will immediately notice my actions. But now that things have reached this point…” Elysia muttered and closed her eyes.
As she closed her eyes, she found herself in a bright place, where a gigantic tree brimming with vitality appeared before her.
Looking at the tree, she hesitated for a moment, but soon her face became serious.
“What’s there to be afraid of? Even if something goes wrong, Master will take care of it…” She said, sounding like an irresponsible employee who was about to cause trouble for her boss.
With a thought, her spiritual power surged toward the tree and the moment her power touched it, her purple, burning eyes flashed with a deep green light, and the next moment, the entire earth began to tremble.
