Necromancer of The Shadows - Chapter 1188: Null Eyes (part 2)

—) Essence of the Twin Flames (Low Level Rank Three): A potent potion made from the mixture of red and violet flame cloud flowers. Upon consumption, it doubles the energy reserves of the user for the next ten minutes and increases energy recovery speed by one hundred percent. Essence of the Twin Flame is only effective on beings below Rank Four, and once its effects wear off, the user will enter a weakened state for the next five hours.

Evan drank the Essence of the Twin Flame potion that Octavius had made for him earlier without hesitation.

As he drank the potion, a wave of violent heat spread through his body, making his blood essence boil, and instantly doubling his energy reserves, including the Primordial Shadow Energy.

Once the potion took full effect, and his energy was significantly amplified, he activated the second effect of his Null Eyes skill.

===

—) Null Eyes:—

—) Second Effect (Void Gaze): Upon activation, the caster’s pupils expand into bottomless black voids. Gazing into these eyes drains the energy, willpower, and physical strength of those nearby, siphoning their essence into the caster. Any being who makes eye contact with the caster will have their life force and magical power rapidly sapped, weakening them while simultaneously strengthening the caster.

===

As soon as Void Gaze was activated, Evan’s vision, which had been obstructed by the chaotic energy surrounding the battle between Velgoth and the Rank Five Eldritch Horror instantly pierced through the chaos and his gaze fell upon the massive, two-hundred-meter-tall form of the pig-like Eldritch Horror engaged in a brutal fight with Velgoth.

Hundreds of snake-like tentacles thrashed violently from the creature’s body, and several were already biting into Velgoth’s flesh, suggesting that the battle was turning in its favour.

Although the Eldritch Horror bore deep wounds as well, its aura remained fierce and relentless.

“It seems that even though I unsealed Velgoth’s power and he is not being restricted by the Rune Of Sealing, he still hasn’t fully recovered from our earlier fight,” Evan muttered with narrowed eyes and his pupils darkened into bottomless abysses, seemingly capable of consuming all of existence.

“Oblivion Eyes!” He activated the third effect of the Null Eyes, his entire focus honed on the Rank Five Eldritch Horror.

===

—) Third Effect (Oblivion Eyes): Upon activation, the user’s pupils become singularities resembling void-like black holes. When the caster focuses their gaze on an object or being, pieces of that target begin to be erased from existence, starting with memories and eventually erasing their physical form. The void energy gradually obliterates the target’s identity, memories, and eventually their body. Initially, they forget small things, but prolonged exposure to the Oblivion Eyes results in total erasure.

===

The moment Evan activated Oblivion Eyes, the Rank Five Eldritch Horror, which had been confidently fighting Velgoth felt an overwhelming existential threat, as though someone were attempting to erase its very existence from reality and instinctively, the creature turned its gaze toward Evan’s direction.

But looking at Evan was a fatal mistake.

As soon as the Rank Five Eldritch Horror’s eyes locked with Evan’s, the second effect of the Null Eyes—Void Gaze—took immediate effect.

Because of the Oblivion Eyes, the horror’s memories began to blur, slowly being erased by the void energy and making its mind sluggish. At the same time, the drain from Void Gaze sapped its willpower, energy, and physical strength, weakening it at a rapid pace.

Although Evan had consumed the Essence of the Twin Flame to double his energy reserves, maintaining both effects of the Null Eyes at the same time against a Rank Five creature was no easy feat.

His energy reserves, even with the replenishment provided by the Void Gaze began to drain quickly and despite his vastly increased energy, he could feel the immense strain of using two such powerful effects simultaneously.

The Eldritch Horror’s spiritual power was far superior to Evan’s, and after just three seconds, it realized something was terribly wrong.

Its willpower, which had been gradually weakening under the relentless drain of Void Gaze, surged back with violent force, and the creature forcefully broke eye contact with Evan, freeing itself from the immediate effects of the Void Gaze.

Even though the Eldritch Horror escaped Void Gaze, the effects of Oblivion Eyes continued, steadily devouring its memories and making its mind fuzzy.

Because of its high spiritual power, the Eldritch Horror also realised the terrifying nature of Evan’s skill and knew that if it wanted to stop Evan, it would have to eliminate him.

Roaring in fury, the hundreds of snake-like tentacles erupting from the Eldritch Horror’s body lashed out toward Evan, their movements like violent whips tearing through the space barrier. The chaotic area, created by its earlier fight with Velgoth was utterly shattered as the tentacles surged forward.

Even though Evan was thousands of kilometres away from the battlefield, the Eldritch Horror’s powerful aura locked onto him with terrifying precision, and immense pressure bore down on him, making it impossible for him to escape.

It became difficult for him to breathe, and his body felt completely immobilized under the overwhelming force.

Yet, despite the imminent danger, he showed no sign of fear. Instead, a faint, almost defiant smile spread across his lips.

Just when the tentacles of the creature were a few kilometres away from Evan, the entire world plunged into absolute darkness, and even the Rank Five Eldritch Horror lost its vision. Disoriented, the creature could no longer sense Evan’s location and when its snake like tentacles reached where Evan had last been, they found nothing but empty space.

Confused and unnerved by the sudden blackout, the Eldritch Horror frantically searched for Evan. However, as it attempted to locate him, a heavy fog clouded its consciousness, making its mind sluggish.

At first, the creature assumed it was still under the influence of Evan’s Oblivion Eyes, but a deeper dread soon crept over it as it realized something was terribly wrong.

Instinctively, the horror tried to use the power of the World Core to heal itself, but to its shock, it realised that It couldn’t feel the World Core’s presence anymore as though it were no longer within the Azragoth World.

Panic gripped the Eldritch Horror as its mind grew sluggish; it lost all of its senses, and within seconds, its life force began to drop rapidly.

Just before the Horror’s thoughts came to a complete halt, the oppressive darkness that hindered its vision disappeared, revealing that it was no longer in Azragoth World. Instead of Azragoth World, the Eldritch Horror saw itself in the cold, desolate expanse of the void space.

Velgoth, the one who had created the darkness stood some distance away from it, holding a massive blade in his hands. The Eldritch Horror’s immense body, once towering and seemingly invincible had been sliced into thousands of pieces by him while it had been blinded and lost all of its senses because of the darkness.

A fleeting look of unwillingness crossed the creature’s eyes as it tried to cling to life. However, because its massive body was already sliced into thousands of pieces, with its mind and heart destroyed, it wasn’t able to hold for long and soon its life force disappeared,
