Necromancer Of The Shadows-Chapter 1124 Rank Three (Part 1)

Utharic moved inside the Void Territory, heading towards the location where Mor'Zarak had used the bottle of black blood. Behind him, Nythor followed closely, his eyes scanning the area of the Void Territory with a serious expression.

"This place is truly strange. If we want to fly, we need to use five times the normal energy, and we can't ascend more than ten meters above the ground," Nythor said in a deep voice, glancing around at the blackened surroundings.

"Not only that, but even our spiritual senses are suppressed here. We can only scan an area of about one kilometre around us," Utharic added with a frown, pushing his spiritual senses to their limits yet finding that he could only cover a distance of two kilometres at best.

"He has turned this place into his own territory and can control most of the things within it... How can a Rank Two Core Evolver create such an ability?" Nythor muttered in a shocked voice, growing increasingly fearful of Evan as he learned more about the Void Territory.

Utharic remained silent at Nythor's words, but he, too, was shocked after spending only a few minutes inside the Void Territory.

Soon, they neared their destination and could see the small puddle of black blood that had been guiding them.

However, their attention was quickly drawn away from the blood when they noticed Evan sitting on the ground with his eyes closed not far from the puddle. The most peculiar thing was the pillar of white light surrounding him, acting as a barrier.

The pillar was five meters in diameter and nearly ten meters high. Even though they were still a few hundred meters away, Nythor and Utharic could sense that the pillar of light was no ordinary means of defence.

"Lord Utharic, Lord Nythor," As they studied the pillar of light, a puff of black smoke materialized in front of them and formed into a humanoid figure.

"Xyrosk," Utharic nodded when he recognized the Eldritch Creature and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what that thing is?"

Xyrosk looked towards the pillar of light and nodded.

"Earlier, I overheard that invader talking to some black monsters. He mentioned that the light pillar is a type of defensive barrier capable of blocking most attacks from Rank Four Core Evolvers. He plans to use it as protection while he breaks through to Rank Three."

"Can block attacks from Rank Four Core Evolvers..." Nythor narrowed his eyes at Xyrosk's words, a murderous glint flashing within them as he stared intently at Evan.

"Hmmm, that's what he told those black monsters when he explained what they had to do while he breaks through to Rank Three..." Xyrosk nodded and continued, "But there is also a weakness. Because this barrier is so powerful, he can't sense what is happening outside, so we can move freely."

"Is there no one protecting him?" Utharic asked with a puzzled look on his face because of the absence of any black monsters like Albelu or Rattel guarding Evan.

"There were two peak Rank Two monsters guarding him, but I had already dealt with them before you arrived," Xyrosk replied calmly.

Nythor and Utharic nodded hearing Xyrosk, not suspecting anything as Xyrosk was a mid-level Rank Three Core Evolver, so it really wasn't difficult for him to secretly kill two peak Rank Two monsters.

"Lord Utharic, I think we should act as soon as possible. Before you arrived, that invader ate a bright orange-coloured fruit. Although I don't know what kind of fruit it was, he told the black monsters that they only needed to guard him for four hours, and he would be able to break through to Rank Three."

Utharic and Nythor's eyes widened at Xyrosk's words and their eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Sure enough, he has something that can shorten the time needed for his breakthrough," Nythor said coldly as he looked at Evan.

"Since he can't sense what's going on outside, let's break the barrier in a single move using our most powerful attacks and kill him instantly, giving him no chance to react," Utharic said coldly as he advanced toward Evan.

Nythor followed him as a silver-coloured mace filled with sharp spikes materialised in his hands. Utharic also drew a gleaming axe from his storage ring, and both of them halted just before the barrier.

They touched the barrier with their hands and feeling its sturdiness, their eyes narrowed.

"It's a truly powerful barrier," Nythor murmured in a low voice as the mace in his hands began to glow with black fire. The axe in Utharic's hand also shone with a bright light, sharp slashes emanating from it that seemed capable of cleaving the world in two.

From a distance, Mor'Zarak watched everything silently, his heart pounding wildly, a wave of nervousness washing over him.

After charging their weapons to their maximum power, Nythor and Utharic exchanged a glance and nodded. Suddenly, two projections of illusionary worlds, emitting the power of laws appeared above their heads and their power surged outward.

ROAR!

A beast-like roar erupted from Utharic's throat as he brought his axe down in a fierce chop. Simultaneously, Nythor struck the barrier with his blazing mace, unleashing its full power.

Under the immense pressure of their attacks, the previously sturdy space of the Void Territory began to distort, the darkness that shrouded the surroundings blown away, revealing the bright light of the outside world as the very rules that governed the Void Territory were annihilated in that area.

The mace and axe collided with the barrier, but in the next instant, shock flashed across Utharic and Nythor's faces as their weapons passed through the barrier without causing any harm.

Nythor and Utharic were caught off guard as their attacks passed through the barrier without resistance. The unexpected momentum caused them to stumble forward, and before they realized it, both had crossed into the barrier.

At that precise moment, Evan, who had been sitting calmly inside with his eyes closed, vanished and reappeared outside the barrier in the blink of an eye.

At the same time…

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The terrifying force of Utharic and Nythor's attacks smashed into the ground within the barrier, but the pillar-shaped shield only glowed briefly before the immense power of their strikes was completely neutralized, dissipating into nothing. freeweɓnovel.cøm

"This—" Utharic and Nythor were stunned when they realised they had entered the barrier while Evan stood outside, completely unharmed.

As they stared at Evan, a dreadful realization dawned on them and when they tried to exit the barrier, they found themselves unable to break through making their hearts sink with the weight of their predicament and like it was not enough their expressions grew even more grim when they noticed Xyrosk walking calmly towards Evan and taking his place by his side.
