Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1024  Energy Devouring

After sending away Lavel and the others, Evan smiled slightly and turned around to look at the entrance of the Black Mountain Range.

'With the help of these five elves, the chaos that we are going to cause will be even bigger...' He thought to himself and walked towards the mountain range shrouded in black miasma.

As he approached the entrance of the black mountains, a sudden thought came to his mind.

''Now that I think about it carefully... doesn't it feel like me, Anastasia, Alaric, Sylvan, and Ashley are the members of a hidden villain organization who came here to throw the world into chaos?'' Evan muttered in a low voice and realized they fulfilled most of the conditions for being members of a hidden villain organization.

They came from a hidden world that no one was aware of. They were using skills to control people's minds and using those controlled people to scheme against even more people to cause trouble for the world.

'So we are similar to the final bosses who are out to destroy this world, huh...' Evan thought and felt he was being influenced by Azroth, who most of the time thought about destroying the world in different ways.

"Nah, I am just overthinking. There is no way I am like that guy. I am the true embodiment of peace..." Evan said to himself and stopped thinking about these things.

Soon, he stopped in front of the entrance of the Black Mountain Range, and even though it was thin at the entrance, he could still see the churning sea of black miasma.

"Now let's see if I can reach the peak of Rank Two here or not..." He muttered and entered the black mountain range.

Twenty minutes later...

Evan had walked a few kilometres deep within the Black Mountain Range. The ground around him was rocky, and his surroundings were filled with black miasma.

If he were a normal Rank Two Core Evolver, the miasma around him would have definitely limited his vision to just a few hundred meters, but because of his high spiritual power and his excellent vision, he could easily perceive everything within a few kilometres around him.

"This should be a good place..." After walking for five more minutes, he suddenly stopped and looked at the black miasma around him that had become thicker than before.

He took a deep breath and stretched out the palm of his right hand. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Energy Devouring!"

He said and green vines, filled with sharp thorns came out of his palm and pierced the ground and rocky surface of the mountain around him.

After piercing the mountain surface and the ground around him, the green vines started to glow and a suction force emanated from them, rapidly absorbing the demonic miasma from the surroundings.

Once the vines absorbed the miasma, they started to convert it into energy and sent it towards his core.

Evan used the Energy Devouring skill for around five minutes, and after five minutes, he shook his head and stopped using the skill.

"It's the same, huh..." He muttered in a low voice and sighed.

When Evan was in Arora World, the Energy Devouring skill was one of the most important skills to him because he needed a very large amount of energy to advance in ranks.

Without the Energy Devouring skill, it would have taken him a long time to reach S rank since he had to improve the rank of two cores when he was in Arora World.

But thanks to Energy Devouring, he was able to shorten the time needed to advance as he didn't need to absorb cores to increase the rank of his core.

But after coming to Utopia, the Energy Devouring skill became quite useless to him.

The reason for this was the World Essence and the Conceptual Energy. The level of World Essence and Conceptual Energy was very high, making it difficult for the Energy Devouring skill to absorb them in a short time.

After trying the skill, he found that absorbing a beginner-level Rank One monster would take him around three days, and if that monster started to convert its world essence into conceptual energy, this time would increase even more.

Waiting for three days just to absorb a beginner-level Rank One monster was simply impossible for Evan, so he didn't try to use this skill to increase the rank of his core.

He also tried to use it on a Rank Two monster and the result made him completely speechless because he realized absorbing the body of a beginner-level Rank Two monster using Energy Devouring would take him at least three months or more.

Instead of wasting a few months absorbing energy from the body of a Rank Two monster, Evan felt cultivating in essence mines was way more useful, so he never used Energy Devouring to increase the rank of his core.

But when he heard about the Black Mountain Range earlier, he felt he might be able to absorb this demonic miasma using the Energy Devouring skill.

After all, he knew his race, Eltharon, was deeply related to demons. But unfortunately, similar to what happened with monsters, although Energy Devouring could absorb the miasma and turn it into energy to increase the rank of his core, the process was very slow.

"I had expected that it might not work since this demonic miasma is also somewhat similar to the conceptual energy in a way, but still..." Evan said and shook his head.

"It looks like I will have to use the second method," He muttered as his shadow started to shake and some shadow undeads like Eclipse, Volac, Kazil, and a few others who were good at stealth came out of his shadow storage.

"You know what to do, right?" He asked his shadow undeads, who nodded their heads and immediately scattered in different directions of the Black Mountain Range.

"I didn't want to do this but well..." Evan muttered and his lips arched upwards in an amused smile. "It looks like the people of Magmara Kingdom will soon face a shortage of demonic goats for a while."
