Evan stared at the world-destroying battle between Baphomet and Elora, his mind racing as he searched for a way to bring her back to normal.

’At this rate, if I don’t stop her, she will destroy all of Utopia.’

Evan looked at the crack-filled halberd with a worried expression and felt like slapping himself for recklessly using it.

In fact, the reason Evan had gone all out earlier without caring about his own safety was because, even if he died, he had a way to come back to life.

—) Life Mark (Unique Skill): You can use your blood essence and a fragment of your soul to create a unique Life Mark. Upon your death, the Life Mark will activate, allowing you to resurrect with only a minor core-level reduction. Once used, Life Mark will enter a six-month cooldown and cannot be reactivated during that time.

Life Mark was a skill that Evan had received due to the blessing of the Tree of Life (Chap—1217).

When he was on Earth, Elysia had summoned the phantom of the Tree of Life and blessed him with it.

It not only increased his stats by several thousand, but also granted him this unique life-saving skill.

From the moment Baphomet blocked his first attack to save Eldraker, Evan had already given up on escaping safely. He knew that if he wanted to take down Eldraker, he would have to risk his life.

Even though the price of Life Mark was not small, reducing his rank by one minor level, Evan did not care as he believed that killing Eldraker was worth that cost.

Moreover, with the help of the Rune of Absorption, it would not be difficult for him to regain his lost rank.

On top of that, the body of a peak rank-six Void Dragon was extremely valuable.

Not to mention anything else, even if he could not turn Eldraker into a shadow undead for now, he could still use his body after reaching rank five to rapidly advance to the middle or even peak of rank five.

Considering all of this, Evan felt that trading his life for Eldraker’s was completely worth it.

But in all of this, he had forgotten one crucial detail—the halberd he possessed was only a replica.

Applying such immense pressure to it would inevitably damage it, putting Elora in danger.

If he had known something like this would happen, he would never have tried to kill Eldraker.

He would have simply attempted to escape, and if that failed, he would have let those two kill him. After all, even in death, he would have only lost a minor rank.

"Damn it..."

Evan clenched his teeth, angered at himself as he looked at the terrifying crimson beast battling against Baphomet.

As time passed and the cracks on the halberd continued to spread, the power within Elora kept increasing.

Even for Baphomet, it was becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with her.

’With destruction on this scale, the other powerhouses of Utopia will definitely not sit idle. They will eventually come here to stop her.’

The devastation caused by the battle between Elora and Baphomet was far too great.

At their current pace, it would not even take a full day for them to destroy the entire Southern Territory.

And one must remember, there were only five regions in Utopia.

the Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern, and Central Territories.

For an entire territory to be destroyed in less than a single day.. one could easily imagine the sheer scale of destruction Elora’s power was causing.

’I don’t know how strong Elora truly is or whether she will continue to grow stronger, but once all the powerhouses of Utopia arrive, she will definitely be in danger.’

Evan’s face darkened at the thought, and a sense of urgency surged within him.

BOOOOOOM!

A deafening explosion echoed as Baphomet dodged another one of Elora’s attacks. Even after missing its target, the attack still completely annihilated a vast area.

Normally, individuals at rank four and above fought high in the sky to avoid damaging the land below.

With their mastery over the power of laws, if high-level core evolvers were to fight recklessly, Utopia would have been destroyed long ago.

Every high-level individual abided by this unspoken rule, not to fight near the land and cause large-scale destruction, as it would inevitably affect countless lives.

Even earlier, when Eldraker attacked Evan, he had been careful. Since they were close to the ground, the dragon had controlled his power perfectly to avoid widespread destruction.

However, Evan had completely ignored this principle and had destroyed millions of miles of land when his own power went out of control.

At that time, killing Eldraker had been the only thing that mattered to him.

’Think think think... how do I bring Elora back to normal before the others arrive and join Baphomet to restrain her.’

As Evan’s mind raced frantically, he suddenly remembered what Azroth had done inside the Tomb of the Ancient.

’He used Origin Essence to replenish Elora’s energy after she had been trapped in the tomb for who knows how many years and used it to create this replica of the halberd (Chap—985).’

Evan looked at the damaged frame of the halberd in his hand, his eyes narrowing.

’If I use Origin Essence on it can I repair the halberd to its perfect state and help Elora regain control?’

The moment this thought appeared, Evan’s eyes lit up.

But soon, his heart sank again as he remembered that he no longer had any Origin Essence.

He had received a drop of it from the Will of Earth after completing the task of destroying the Azragoth World.

However, that drop had already been consumed when he advanced to rank four.

Now, he had nothing left.

’Can I somehow extract the Origin Essence that my world absorbed during my advancement to rank four?’

Evan attempted to draw out the Origin Essence from his internal world, but as expected, it failed completely.

Just as despair began to creep into his heart, Evan suddenly sensed something.

His gaze shifted to one of the soul seals on his soul—it was trembling faintly.

’This... it’s the soul seal that loosened when I went to see the core of the World Tree.’ (Chap—1350)

Evan frowned, unable to understand why that seal was reacting at a time like this.

’Could it be... there is something within the memories sealed inside it that can help me right now?’

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Evan did not hesitate for even a second and forcefully shattered the already loosened soul seal.
