Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1169  Breaking The Soul Seal (Part 2)

Morvael and the other Eldritch Creatures stood a few kilometers away from Evan and his shadow undeads, looking at them with grave looks on their faces.

Emperor Velgoth had brought nearly one hundred thousand soldiers with him, but during the earlier fight, around ten thousand of them died, leaving behind about ninety thousand Eldritch Creatures.

Evan looked back and forth between Emperor Velgoth and the army of Eldritch Creatures, pondering how to handle the situation.

From the slowly rising life force of Emperor Velgoth, Evan could tell that the power of the Azragoth World was gradually healing his soul and at most, in one day, Velgoth's frozen soul would recover.

He could kill Emperor Velgoth outright to avoid the issue of his recovery, but before killing him, Evan wanted to get all the information from Velgoth.

Recalling the earlier event when he used the Soul Slayer War Arts and what Emperor Velgoth had mentioned before the battle began, Evan was desperate to know who who want to capture him alive.

'I can severely injure him by chopping most of his body before he wakes up, but who knows what kind of trick a Rank Five Core Evolver will have up his sleeve? If anything goes wrong, he might escape, and my life will be in serious danger...' Evan thought inwardly and sighed.

"If only Anastasia were here. I could have asked her to use the same curse she used on Leopold to turn this Velgoth into a slave as well. Then I could have gotten all the information I needed," Evan murmured to himself and after pondering for a long while, he took a deep breath and glanced at Gobu and the other shadow undeads.

"I need to recover my energy. If those people try anything sneaky, immediately chop this guy into a million pieces," He said, pointing at Emperor Velgoth.

Evan's voice was very loud and Morvael and the other Eldritch Creatures also heard him. Hearing him speak so casually about chopping their Emperor as if he were some vegetable made their faces contort with anger, and they gritted their teeth.

Evan felt the surge of rage radiating from the Eldritch Creatures, but he didn't care about them.

He sat down among his shadow undeads, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness sink deep within his soul, where the soul seals were placed.

Looking at the soul seals on his soul, Evan recalled Azroth's advice and decided to break one of the seals from the top.

Now that his spiritual power was on par with that of a Rank Four Core Evolver, the moment he began to attack the seal, his soul power surged like a tidal wave, instantly forming cracks in the seal he was targeting.

In just a few seconds, the entire soul seal was covered in cracks and with one final push—

Bang!

The seal shattered, and a torrent of memories flooded into Evan's mind.

"Urgh…" Evan groaned as the flood of memories rushed into his brain, causing him a sharp stabbing headache.

Evan couldn't help but frown at the intense headache and felt something was not right.

While he had broken soul seals before, this was the first time he felt such an intense headache. In the past, the headaches were mild, but now the pain was spreading through his soul, forcing him to grit his teeth in agony.

The shadow undeads standing guard around Evan watched him with serious expressions as they noticed some strange engravings began to appear across his body, including his face.

Although Evan was wearing a rank six armour, the engravings that appeared across his body released an eerie energy, making them visible even underneath the armour.

The engravings didn't just mark his physical body—his soul, currently writhing in pain, was also etched with these strange markings.

'Damn it, what's happening?' Evan cursed inwardly, gritting his teeth harder as he tried to absorb and process the flood of memories.

The more memories he absorbed, the worse the pain became and even his soul began to reach its limit.

As more and more memories flooded his mind, the engravings on his body grew deeper, and a strange aura began to radiate from him.

The Eldritch Creatures standing in the distance also felt this strange aura and their expressions shifted.

"What is this strange energy?" Morvael muttered with a frown, trying to comprehend what Evan was doing.

Utharic and Nythor, standing beside him also had worried expressions on their faces. Both of them silently prayed that Evan wasn't trying to pull any tricks on them and wouldn't kill Emperor Velgoth.

Though they were Rank Four Core Evolvers and Evan was only a Rank Three, they weren't very confident about facing him directly. After all, even Emperor Velgoth, who was the strongest among them had been turned into a lifeless puppet with his soul frozen by him. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

So, although they wanted to know what Evan was trying to do, none of them dared to move forward to investigate as they feared that Evan's shadow undeads might kill Velgoth, or worse, Evan would turn them into soulless puppets as well.

As time passed, the strange aura emanating from Evan grew more intense, expanding to cover hundreds of thousands of kilometres.

The engravings on his body and soul glowed brightly, exuding a faint ancient aura.

Evan's entire body was drenched in cold sweat, and he gritted his teeth, struggling to endure the searing pain in his soul and the pounding headache.

Six hours later, when Evan's soul had reached its absolute limit, the torrent of memories finally ceased, and the burning pain in his soul began to subside.

At the same time, the glowing engravings on his body and soul started to fade, as if merging with the very essence of his being and in just a few minutes, they disappeared completely.

With the disappearance of the engravings, the strange aura that had spread across millions of kilometres in the Azragoth World also vanished.

As the strange aura disappeared, Evan slowly opened his eyes and as he did, the world around him seemed to stop moving, and space itself froze as a complex rune flickered within his eyes.

Seeing the effect of the new knowledge he had acquired after breaking the soul seal, Evan took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement.

"Damn it, I really got something incredible this time."
