Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1036  So Disappointing

With a look of utter fear, Halphas stared at Anastasia with his eyes wide open. She did not make any move, but just the aura emanating from her body made it impossible for him to even lift a finger.

He was a mid-level Rank Six Core Evolver and was certain that even a Peak Rank Six Core Evolver wouldn't be able to surpass him like this, but the power coming from Anastasia was on a completely different level.

'It's like... It's like I am in front of His Majesty,' Halphas thought with a pale look on his bull-like face as he remembered the power shown by Baphomet in the past.

After laughing like a psycho for almost a full minute, Anastasia finally regained her composure and looked at Halphas with a wide grin on her face.

"It's a pity that Eldrakar asked me not to kill you, but well, I can still break some of your bones.." She said with a smile on her face and took a step forward, instantly appearing in front of Halphas, who was on his knees.

"Eldrakar..." Anastasia's voice wasn't low, so Halphas easily heard her. Thinking his earlier guess was correct and that Anastasia was from the Dragon Islands, his eyes blazed with hatred, and he lifted his head with difficulty, looking at Anastasia, who was in front of him.

"Why are you dragons attacking the Gehenna Empire?" He asked in a hoarse voice.

Anastasia smiled coldly when she heard Halphas and replied in a simple voice, "Because we want to."

The moment Anastasia finished speaking, Halphas roared loudly, and a dark purple axe appeared in his hand. As the axe appeared in his hand, Halphas' bull-like body was engulfed in golden lightning, and the pressure he felt from Anastasia's aura disappeared.

"Die!" The demon roared madly, and the moment he regained control over his body, he swung the dark purple axe towards Anastasia, wanting to kill her in a single move.

Anastasia looked at the dark purple axe covered in golden lightning coming towards her head and raised her hand in front of her head to block it. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Seeing Anastasia trying to block his axe with just her hand, a wide grin appeared on Halphas' bull-like face and he sneered.

'Stupid,' He thought inwardly, and his axe came into contact with Anastasia's hand.

Halphas thought that the moment his high-grade Rank Five axe would touch her hand, it would be chopped cleanly, but to his shock...

Clang!

When his axe collided with Anastasia's hand, the sound of metal clashing against metal rang out, and Anastasia was pushed back slightly.

Halphas' eyes opened wide in utter shock as he didn't expect his attack which could easily kill even a beginner-level Rank Six Core Evolver would just push Anastasia back.

Just when Halphas was thinking about what was wrong, he noticed Anastasia's hands were covered in black scales, and her previous black eyes turned deep yellow, vertical in shape.

Two horns grew on top of her head, and a tail filled with sharp spikes came out of her back. At the same time, her aura became even more powerful than before, and even with the support of a peak Rank Five weapon, Halphas felt his body becoming heavy.

"Is this... Is this your World Form?" Halphas asked with a look of horror on his face. His giant round eyes nearly popped out of their sockets because of the terrifying pressure coming from her body.

"World Form..." Anastasia looked at Halphas in disdain and sneered. "This is my normal Dragon Battle Form. Do you think you are qualified for me to use my World Form just to deal with a small fry like you?"

Halphas was even more shocked when he heard Anastasia, but before he could say anything...

Boom!

His bull-like face was suddenly planted into the ground. Due to the impact, the ground inside the space isolation formation collapsed, and a giant crater tens of thousands of kilometres wide appeared there.

Although there were six space isolation formations that Anastasia and Ashley created to ensure nothing went wrong, all six formations trembled as if they would shatter at any moment.

Anastasia, who pressed Halphas' face to the ground frowned when she noticed the trembling formations and clicked her tongue in annoyance.

She looked at Halphas, whose bull-like face was completely disfigured, and took away his storage ring.

"You—" Halphas opened his mouth to say something but suddenly coughed out blood because all of his internal organs were shaken due to Anastasia's simple attack.

'Just what kind of monster is she?' He thought and felt a fear like never before.

Anastasia didn't care about what Halphas was thinking and scanned his body using her spiritual senses to see if there was any artefact on his body that could record what happened here.

The space isolation formation Ashley created was very high level, and other than special devices like the one Evan used to send a message to Ashley earlier, no other communication device could send any information outside.

Anastasia wanted to make sure that Halphas didn't have anything that would allow him to show others what happened here. Using her spiritual senses, she didn't find anything on Halphas, but she didn't act carelessly.

Her deep yellow eyes glowed and without any mercy, she punched Halphas again.

As Anastasia's fist connected, deep black power surged from her body, enveloping Halphas entirely.

As the black power covered him, all his artefacts, including the armour he wore turned to dust. Simultaneously, the force of her punch invaded his body, shattering his bones, injuring his organs, and destroying any soul artefacts hidden within him.

"Arghh!" Halphas screamed in agony as Anastasia's power ravaged his artefacts and injured his soul.

The excruciating pain of his shattered bones and damaged organs was so intense that he immediately lost consciousness.

Anastasia looked at the bleeding, unconscious Halphas and took a deep breath.

"So the demons of the current era are like this..." She muttered with a shake of her head. "So disappointing."

Although Anastasia was using the Soul Resonance skill, which allowed her to use some of her true powers, she still couldn't utilize her whole strength. Even so, she had no trouble defeating Halphas, which left her slightly disappointed as she had hoped for a good fight after a long time.

"I hope other Rank Six Core Evolvers are not like him, or it will be pretty boring to beat them up," Anastasia said to herself and stopped using the Soul Resonance skill.

As she stopped using the skill, her aura rapidly diminished and her face turned slightly pale.

Despite her pallor, Anastasia didn't care much and extended her hand forward.

A suction force emanated from her hand, gathering the lingering aura from the surroundings and completely erasing traces of her power.

Simultaneously, she collected Halphas' aura as well, but instead of erasing it, she looked at it with a smile on her face.

After collecting Halphas' aura, she glanced at him one last time before she disappeared from the space isolation formation.
