Necromancer of The Shadows - Chapter 974: Blood Sacrifice (part 1)
974 Blood Sacrifice (Part 1)
*Huff *Huff
Evan breathed heavily as drops of blood fell from the corner of his mouth. He tried to stand up from the ground, but the moment he did, his internal organs churned and he once again coughed out a mouthful of blood.
‘Fu*k, just how powerful is he?’ Evan raised his head and looked at the peak Rank Three goblin who was standing some distance away from him.
Because of the Ruler’s Authority and Shadow Possession skill, his current endurance was close to 5000.
But even with such high endurance, just a single punch nearly killed him.
Feeling the condition of his body, Evan used his regeneration skill along with the white fire of the Prismatic Flame to heal himself.
At the same time, he took Elysia’s healing skill using the second effect of the growth link skill and hastened the healing process.
‘If only I could use the Primordial Shadow Energy the way Azroth used it…’ Evan thought inwardly as he stood up from the ground.
After seeing the way Azroth used the Primordial Shadow Energy, Evan was sure that if he could use the conceptual energy of life mixed within his shadow energy, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to heal all of his injuries in just a few seconds.
*Clap *Clap – – – – –
As Evan stood up from the ground, he heard the sound of clapping and saw the peak Rank Three goblin clapping with a wide smile on its monstrous face.
“As expected from you, even normal peak Rank Two Core Evolvers would have died after taking that attack head-on, but not only did you survive, you even have the strength to continue to fight,” The peak Rank Three Goblin said, and the smile on its face vanished. “But let’s see how long you can last.”
As the goblin finished speaking, it took a step forward and once again appeared in front of Evan like a ghost.
But this time, Evan was prepared for the goblin.
He was using Temporal Velocity to its full power and the moment he saw the goblin take a step forward, he used the Nether Stride skill of the Boots Of Voidgazer and disappeared from the place he was standing.
He appeared a few hundred meters away from his previous position and at the same time, used the Primordial Shadow Energy to activate the ice chain skill.
A pitch-black chain made of ice came out of his hand and moved towards the Doom Sword that was lying on the ground some distance away from him.
The black ice chain wrapped itself around the handle of the Doom Sword and Evan swung the chain, moving the blood-red sword towards the peak Rank Three goblin who had just missed its attack.
Boom! Boom! – – – –
As the giant heavy sword tore through the air, it created booming sounds and arrived in front of the goblin in an instant.
Seeing the glowing blood-red sword in front of it, the goblin sneered and raised its hand, which was glowing with Eldritch Energy to catch the sword.
But just when the goblin was about to catch the sword, Evan’s eyes shone, and he activated his Shadow Puppeteer skill, preventing the goblin from catching the sword.
The goblin’s eyes widened when it realized it couldn’t lift its hand. Although it immediately broke free from the effect of Shadow Puppeteer by using brute force, it was still too late.
BoooooooooooooooooooooM!
With a loud booming sound, the Doom Sword struck the goblin right on its chest. The sharp edge of the sword sliced through its tough skin covered in Eldritch Energy, and a deep wound appeared there as a fountain of purple blood spurted out.
At the same time, the sound of bones cracking resounded within the red barrier, and the peak Rank Three goblin was sent flying away like a meteorite.
The goblin’s body bounced on the hard ground a few times, sinking the ground further and it crashed against the red barrier with a booming sound, making giant ripples appear on it.
The goblin breathed heavily and lay flat on the ground as a puddle of purple blood formed beneath it.
Evan had no intention of giving the goblin any chance to recover, so immediately after sending it flying, he wrapped the end of the ice chain around his hand and pulled it upwards, sending the Doom Sword soaring a hundred meters into the sky.
Once the sword was high above, Evan’s cold eyes gleamed as he yanked the Doom Sword downward, aiming to crush the goblin.
Boom! Boom! Boom! – – – –
The Doom Sword made continuous booming sounds as it tore through the air and descended toward the goblin lying on the ground.
As the sword descended, the glowing red aura around it intensified and blood lightning crackled around it. Seeing the giant sword coming toward it with unstoppable momentum, the goblin’s yellow eyes widened in horror, and it roared like a beast.
Boom!
A large amount of Eldritch Energy burst outward from its body and two giant hands made of deep purple energy rose toward the sky, attempting to stop the sword.
The glowing blood-red sword and the two hands made of Eldritch Energy clashed in an instant and the next second…
BoooooooooooooooooooooM!
A rocking explosion shook the entire area enclosed within the red barrier, and the very fabric of space started to shake as small spatial cracks appeared all over.
“Break!”
Evan shouted with bloodshot eyes and used Sky Fall to increase his strength even more when the Doom Sword was stopped by the goblin.
Evan was already seriously injured, so when he used sky fall, his condition worsened even more and cracks started to appear on his body.
The moment Evan used Sky Fall, the hands stopping the Doom Sword shattered like glass and like a burning meteorite, the sword descended towards the goblin and struck it in an instant.
BooooooooooooooooooooooooM!
A massive explosion shook the entire area and powerful shockwaves spread in all directions. Under the power of shockwaves, small cracks appeared over the red barrier.
Evan dropped to one knee and panted heavily as blood flowed from his ripped skin.
His entire body was covered in red, and his aura was completely chaotic. He used the Prismatic Fire, Regeneration, and Elysia’s healing skill to their full power, trying to stop the bleeding and looked toward the place where the goblin was.
As the dust cloud generated by his attack settled, the goblin’s body—or rather a pile of crushed flesh—appeared in front of Evan’s eyes.
Seeing that he had completely destroyed the goblin’s body, Evan sighed in relief and relaxed his tense body.
He pulled back the Doom Sword using the ice chain and was about to put it away when suddenly…
Boom!
A booming sound came from the place where the pile of flesh was, and the goblin’s flesh started to rise.
Purple tendrils emerged from the goblin’s flesh, connecting with each other, and in less than three seconds, a three-meter-tall humanoid creature with a snake-like neck appeared in front of him.
Rip!
The sound of flesh being ripped apart resounded within the red barrier, and eight sharp bones that looked like spider legs emerged from the creature’s back, glowing with Eldritch Energy.
ROAR!
The Eldritch Goblin roared like a mad creature, and a burst of Eldritch Energy erupted from its body, pushing back Evan, who was still on one knee.
