Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1084  An Absurd Possibility (Part 2)

When Valery told Evan about the dreams she often had, she described a long-eared man with black hair beating down a little girl.

According to her, at the end of the fight, the man used a powerful ability called 'Sever' through a blurry-looking weapon whose appearance she couldn't clearly see.

Although the weapon was blurry as if it was shrouded in a black fog, it still gave her a terrifying feeling as if she was looking at something far above her level.

Upon hearing that the man used a weapon that gave her such a terrifying feeling, Evan immediately thought of the Halberd of Destruction.

The first time he saw the World Tree after entering the closed World of Dryads, Evan had unlocked a memory related to the Universal Tree.

In that memory, Azroth used a blurry weapon whose appearance he couldn't clearly see to destroy the entire Universal Tree.

At that time, Evan was confused about what kind of weapon it was and why he couldn't see it clearly.

But now, Evan was certain that the weapon Azroth used was the Halberd of Destruction and the reason he couldn't see it clearly was because the concept of Destruction within the true Halberd of Destruction was too terrifying.

Even though he was only looking at the Halberd in his memories, the concept of Destruction it embodied could still affect him, which is why it appeared blurry and indistinct.

Valery's situation was similar to his. The Halberd of Destruction that Azroth used in his fight against the Primordial was too powerful for her to look at directly, so it appeared blurred in order to protect her soul.

'She said Azroth used a skill called Sever on that little girl using the Halberd of Destruction...' Evan thought and his eyes narrowed. 'Could it be that Sever is one of the moves from the Soul Slayer War Arts?'

Because the Halberd of Destruction Evan currently possesses is just a replica, he can only use the first three moves of the Soul Slayer War Arts and knows nothing about the others.

But Evan didn't care about the moves of the Soul Slayer War Arts for now, because after guessing that the Sever ability Azroth used might be one of the moves from the Soul Slayer War Arts, an absurd possibility came to his mind.

Although Evan has knowledge of only three moves of the Soul Slayer War Arts, he knows that all the moves of this art are related to souls... And it is highly likely that the Sever move Azroth used is the same.

Since the name of the move was Sever and it was aimed at the soul of the little girl who claimed to be a Primordial, Evan guessed that there might be a chance that because of this move, her soul was severed into two different parts.

After being split into two different parts, one part of her soul was reborn as Winterclaw, and the second part...

Evan looked at Valery, who was still talking to the hunters and a serious look appeared on his face.

Of course, it was not just because of the name Sever that Evan made this guess. There were many other factors involved, especially the fact that Winterclaw's spiritual aura was reacting to Valery.

On top of that, there was a powerful soul strand inside Valery's core that knew about Azroth and that she needed to absorb the source of the Ice Monarch to evolve her physique.

What is the source of the Ice Monarch?

Evan honestly didn't know, but if he had to guess, he would definitely say it must be something related to the soul.

Moreover, if there wasn't any relationship between Valery and Winterclaw, she wouldn't have needed to absorb his source in order to evolve her physique.

"If my guess is correct and Valery and Winterclaw are part of that Primordial's soul, then there's a high possibility that Winterclaw might have already awakened some of his memories about how I beat him down..." Evan said while rubbing his eyebrows. "This also explains why that guy hates me so much. According to Anastasia, if she had to pick someone who hates me the most in Utopia, she would pick Winterclaw without a second thought."

Thinking of this, Evan looked at Valery, who was still talking to the hunters and felt a headache coming on.

'If she is really someone who was born because Azroth severed the soul of that Primordial, then doesn't it mean she would also try to beat me up if she somehow recovered her memories?' Evan took some deep breaths to calm down, but even after taking several deep breaths, he still couldn't settle his boiling emotions.

He looked at Valery and without saying anything, disappeared from there, reappearing hundreds of kilometres away from her location.

After appearing hundreds of kilometres away from Valery's location, he looked toward the sky and roared in anger.

"F*ck you, Azroth, you bastard! Do you think I'm a janitor? Why do I have to clean up the mess that you created? You demon..."

Most of the monsters, who were already shaking in fear due to the turmoil caused by the opening of the portals looked in Evan's direction with even more terrified eyes.

The aura of hatred emanating from his body was so strong that all the monsters placed their faces on the ground and covered their heads with their hands, extremely afraid of the demon who was swearing like there was no tomorrow.

Only after cursing Azroth for a full five minutes did Evan finally calm down and nodded his head.

After cursing Azroth—or rather himself—he returned to where Valery was. When he got back, Valery had already finished speaking to the hunters and was staring at Shaldik, who was as good as dead.

Seeing Evan return, Valery wanted to ask where he had gone, but before she could, Evan spoke in a serious tone.

"Valery, contact your hunter comrades again and tell them I want to meet the leaders of the Federation tomorrow." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Huh?" Valery responded with a confused expression. But Evan didn't give her a chance to question him and continued speaking.

"And if they refuse to meet me, saying they don't have time or any other nonsense excuse, tell them to be ready to be murdered by me."
