Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1047  Setting Off To The Forbidden Lands (Part 1)

With Elora, Evan came to a special area in the closed world of Drayds.

Unlike the other places in the closed world, which were normally filled with green trees, mountains, and rivers, this place was completely remote with no sign of trees or other vegetation.

The ground in the area was completely flat and filled with cracks. The soil was dark brown, and occasional bursts of hot steam came out of the cracked ground from time to time.

The temperature in the area was very high, reaching a point where even a normal Rank One Core Evolver would have to use world essence to protect themselves if they didn't want to become a sweating fountain.

As Evan walked while looking at the new landscape, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"It seems the Earth Genome Flame is really suitable for transforming the land to perfectly suit the Lava Demons," He muttered in a low voice and soon saw some stone structures that looked like houses.

As Evan got closer to the houses, he noticed many Lava Demons who were doing their own jobs, trying to create an environment most suitable for them.

When Evan and the others came back to the closed world of Drayds from the Magmara Kingdom, they brought back Searoth and the other Lava Demons as well.

It wasn't difficult for them to convince Searoth to come with them as the Lava Demons were already tired of living in the small hidden area where the Earth Genome Fire was located.

Moreover, in her first meeting with Searoth, Anastasia had mentioned that she received information about him from Valtair.

Valtair was the one who taught Searoth blacksmithing, so he did not think he would give information about the Lava Demons to someone who would harm them.

In the end, after considering the situation of the Lava Demons, Searoth decided to accept Anastasia and Evan's offer and move to the closed world of Drayds.

Before moving, Searoth also put forward a condition that he wanted to meet Valtair.

Anastasia easily agreed to his request but told him that Valtair was currently busy with something and it would take a few years before he would be able to meet him.

Searoth was more than thirty thousand years old, so the waiting time of a few years was nothing to him. He agreed and moved to the closed world of Drayds along with the other Lava Demons.

'Now, for alchemy, we have Octavius, and for forging, we have Searoth,' Evan thought inwardly and smiled slightly.

As he thought about alchemy, Evan suddenly remembered Amara and felt a headache.

"She is still hell-bent on trying to properly understand that Ancient Alchemy thing..." He muttered in a low voice and rubbed his eyebrows.

In the Tomb of the Ancient, Evan had found information about Ancient Alchemy. After he showed it to Amara, she had been trying to learn it ever since, but her efforts were not bearing any fruit.

'Her rank is too low to understand the Ancient Alchemy. Maybe I should help her increase her rank using the Life Steal skill...' Evan thought to himself and examined the bloodline power within his body.

It's been a month since he used his Bloodline Power, and it was almost fully recovered.

In just one or two days, he was certain he would be able to use the Life Steal ability once again.

"Although I can use Life Steal to help her, I still need to find a good target," Evan muttered, and a candidate suddenly came to his mind.

'Hmmm... Although it will be a little troublesome, it's not impossible.'

While deep in thought, Evan soon reached the front of a stone house that was very different from the other houses the Lava Demons had created.

Although similar to other houses, it was also made of stones, but unlike the grey stones, the stones used in creating this house were dark violet in colour, and the temperature around the house was nearly five or six times higher than in other areas.

"Damn, it's good that my physical condition is higher than normal Core Evolvers; otherwise, I might have died from dehydration." Evan opened the door of the house while complaining, and the moment the door opened, a burst of hot air slapped his face.

At the same time, the temperature of the surroundings increased even more and he had to use Prismatic Fire to cover his body in order to avoid the heat.

"Don't just stand there and close the door already."

As Evan was trying to adjust to the sudden increase in temperature, he heard a slightly irritated voice.

"Why do you always act like a grumpy old man who's always in a bad mood?" Evan rolled his eyes when he heard Searoth's irritated voice and entered the house, closing the door behind him.

Upon entering the house, Evan saw that the floor was a complete mess, with different kinds of materials scattered all over. At the end of the house, there was a pit around ten meters in diameter, with a deep orange flame burning within it. In the middle of the burning pit, there was a platform made of deep purple stone, and Searoth was standing on it, doing his work.

Searoth didn't care about Evan's sarcastic words and without turning back, asked in a flat voice.

"Why are you here?"

"Well, I am here for my armour. Is it ready?"

Searoth stopped what he was doing when he heard Evan and turned around to look at him. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"It's the fifth time you've asked me this question this week. Are you planning to go to war or something you need that armour urgently?" He asked while looking at Evan with a tired look on his face.

Evan shook his head, hearing Searoth and replied in a calm voice.

"I'm not planning to go to war, but the place I will be going is dangerous, so I need that armour."

"Dangerous place?" Searoth raised an eyebrow when he heard Evan and asked in a curious voice, "Where are you planning to go?"

Evan was silent hearing Searoth, but after a moment, he opened his mouth and said in a low voice.

"The Forbidden Land of Utopia."
