Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1043  Life Steal

The Life Steal ability allows Evan to extract the power of Core Evolvers and condense it into a consumable item that he can use himself or give to other people.

The person who uses the consumable item created by the Life Steal ability will receive all the powers of the person whose power was extracted.

Normally, the power of this ability depends on Evan's own rank.

For example, his current rank is mid-level Rank Two.

With his current rank, using the full power of Life Steal ability, he can extract the power of mid-level Rank Three Core Evolvers.

However, if he wants to extract the power of a higher-level Core Evolver, it would be very difficult for him to do so without increasing the rank of his core.

But the Blood Bullet skill of Carnage is a special skill that allows him to increase the ability of his bloodline by sacrificing his blood essence.

While creating the Blood Bullet, he sacrificed a large amount of blood essence in the hope that by using the Life Steal ability of his bloodline through Carnage, he would be able to affect Anderson despite the differences in their ranks... And just as he had expected, when the effect of his Life Steal ability triggered through the Blood Bullet, which was created by sacrificing a large amount of blood essence and further boosted by millions of souls, it successfully affected the Rank Six Core Evolver.

However, because of the difference between their power levels, even with the help of the Blood Bullet, the Life Steal ability was only able to extract power equal to that of mid-level Rank Four instead of mid-level Rank Six.

Evan had already expected that no matter what he did, it would be impossible for him to extract mid-level Rank Six power from Anderson, so he wasn't surprised when he saw that the rank of the Blood Life Orb was mid-level Rank Four.

Although this ability is incredibly powerful, there are also some limitations to it.

For example, after using it once, Evan won't be able to use it again for a long period of time.

The Life Steal ability uses the power of his bloodline, which is different from world essence or conceptual energy.

Although using the power of his bloodline doesn't affect him, it still takes a long time to recover the power of his bloodline after using it.

The power of his bloodline is like a consumable energy that disappears after one use and slowly recovers on its own. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Besides the fact that he can't use it frequently, there is also the problem that without the enhanced effect of the Blood Bullet skill, it is difficult for him to extract the power of Core Evolvers.

He can extract the power of Rank One and Two Core Evolvers even if they try to resist the effect of Life Steal, but with his current rank, if Rank Three Core Evolvers resist with all their might, it would be difficult for him to extract their power.

To extract the power of Rank Three Core Evolvers without any problem, he will first have to seriously injure the person whose power he wants to extract.

Not only that, after extracting the power, although he can give it to anyone, the best way to use the extracted power is to give it to someone who is compatible with it.

Zorda, whom Evan gave Anderson's power to was a blood demon. Although he wasn't a vampire, his understanding of blood energy was very high, which is why he chose him as Zorda could use Anderson's power to the fullest.

If he had given Anderson's power to someone like Elysia, Eclipse, or another shadow undead who is not compatible with Anderson's power, even though they would have become a mid-level Rank Four Core Evolver, it would have been impossible for them to use Anderson's power to the fullest.

Although there were some minor flaws in this skill, especially the fact that he couldn't use it again in a short period of time after using it once, Evan was very satisfied with this skill.

He didn't think about increasing his own rank using the Life Steal ability because he knew there was no one in Utopia whose power was compatible with his.

It's not only because there are very few people like him who can use the conceptual energy of the void, but also because of his core, the Primordial Monarch Core.

Unlike the cores of other people, his core was special. Even though he was just a mid-level Rank Two Core Evolver, his core could give him enough power to face Rank Three Core Evolvers without even using his authorities.

The power of a core like the Primordial Monarch Core couldn't be increased by absorbing the power of other people.

But Evan didn't care about this fact because he never thought about increasing the rank of his core using the Life Steal ability.

He was already happy that he could increase the rank of his shadow undeads using this skill.

For the current Evan, as long as he wasn't fighting against numerous opponents, his shadow undeads were not much help because his strength was increasing rapidly, while his shadow undeads couldn't increase their rank to keep up with him.

But using the Life Steal ability, he could increase the rank of his top shadow undeads rapidly which would greatly increase his power.

When Evan explained the Life Steal ability to Sylvan and Alaric, both of them were shocked and didn't know what to say.

Alaric even thought about asking Evan to extract the power of some useless monsters in the Dark Forest and give it to some other monsters who could work for him.

Sylvan, on the other hand, was thinking about asking Evan to extract the power of some elves and increase the power of the Dryads.

Although Sylvan was a kind-hearted person, he hated elves to his core and wouldn't feel bad about killing them.

When Evan saw Sylvan's and Alaric's expressions after hearing about the Life Steal ability, his face turned strange because he felt these two old men were thinking about something sinister.

'Sure enough, we are becoming more and more like a villainous organization that wants to destroy the world...' He thought when he saw their expressions and felt he needed to keep his distance from them if he wanted to keep his sanity in check.

'Maybe, now that I can increase the rank of my shadow undeads, I should go to that damn forbidden land of Utopia to get some answers.'
