Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 968  One vs Three (Part 2)

One after another, the groups of Eldritch Goblins that rushed toward Evan fell under the attacks of his shadow undeads.

There were thousands of Rank One and Rank Two goblins and a few Rank Three ones.

As his shadow undeads killed them, Evan didn't use his shadow resurrection skill to turn the Eldritch Goblins into shadow undeads.

He created eight beginner-level Rank Three shadow undeads earlier and in the process, used up most of his shadow energy and it was still recovering.

Although he still had a few hundred points of shadow energy left, he wanted to save it in case something unexpected happened later on.

Evan avoided the battle between his shadow undeads and the Eldritch Goblins and soon reached his destination.

Standing a few hundred meters away from the area filled with black smoke, Evan looked at it with narrowed eyes. From the black smoke, flashes of golden light were occurring from time to time, preventing the smoke from spreading into other areas.

"Where are the three strongest Eldritch Goblins that my shadow undead talked about?" Evan muttered in a low voice as he tried to look for the three goblins using his spiritual sense.

But upon using his spiritual senses, he found a force was preventing his spiritual senses from spreading outwards and he could only search within an area of one hundred meters around him.

Evan frowned when he wasn't able to use the full power of his spiritual senses and channelled his world essence throughout his body to see if his world essence was flowing smoothly.

Luckily, when he channelled the world essence, he found there was no problem with it, and it was only his spiritual senses that were being suppressed.

"Although I am not one hundred percent sure, it seems the reason I can't use my spiritual senses properly is because of this black smoke-filled area..." Evan said in a low voice and stopped using his spiritual senses.

He walked to the side of the area filled with black smoke and tried to see if the three strongest Eldritch Goblins were on the other end, but even on the other end of the smoke-filled area, there was no one.

Upon not finding the three goblins he was looking for, Evan used his shadow senses to contact the Rank Three Eldritch Goblin he created earlier and asked it where to look for those goblins.

But when the shadow undead of the goblin, who was fighting against the group of Eldritch Goblins along with other shadow undeads heard Evan's question, it was baffled and hurriedly said that the three goblins always stayed somewhere near the black smoke-filled area.

'If they always stay around this area, then where are they now?' Evan stopped using the shadow senses and walked around the black smoke-filled area.

But even after looking for the goblins for ten minutes, he wasn't able to find them.

Just when Evan was wondering where he should look for them, he felt some energy ripples coming from the black smoke, and after a few seconds, three Eldritch Goblins walked out of it.

The three Eldritch Goblins who emerged from the smoke-filled area were different from the other Eldritch Goblins. Unlike the goblins he had seen previously, these Eldritch Goblins were two meters tall with bulging muscles all over their bodies and had deep yellow eyes.

Their hands and feet were not disfigured or twisted like those of other Eldritch Goblins, and all three of them were wearing clothes made from the skin of other goblins.

Moreover, the aura each goblin was releasing was far stronger than that of normal monsters. Although their ranks were just as his shadow undead had mentioned—one beginner level, one mid-level, and one at the peak of Rank Three—the pressure Evan felt from these three monsters was far stronger than the aura that other beings of the same level could release.

Although these three Eldritch Goblins looked more normal than the others and were exerting great pressure on him, what caught Evan's attention the most when they emerged from the black smoke was the blood on their bodies.

He did not know what these three goblins had been doing inside, but all three of them were covered in deep purple-coloured blood.

'Are there other monsters inside the black smoke?' Evan thought, feeling slightly anxious as Elora was also inside the black smoke.

When the three Eldritch Goblins emerged from the black smoke, they immediately noticed the ongoing fight between Evan's shadow undeads and the other Eldritch Goblins.

The peak Rank Three Goblin turned its head in the direction where Evan was standing and looked at him with an indifferent expression.

"So you are finally here..." The peak Rank Three Goblin said in a cold voice, looking at Evan.

Evan narrowed his eyes when he heard the goblin and scrutinized it carefully. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

'Does it know me?' He muttered inwardly, trying to grasp the situation.

After hearing what the peak Rank Three Goblin just said, he was certain that this goblin was waiting for him.

The beginner-level and mid-level Rank Three Eldritch Goblin were also staring at Evan and their expressions were just as cold as that of the peak Rank Three Goblin.

"If you want to move forward, you will have to defeat us first," The peak Rank Three Eldritch Goblin said and tapped one of its feet on the ground.

The moment the goblin tapped its foot, a red light flashed and a giant barrier formed, enclosing the three of them along with Evan, preventing anyone from outside from entering.

Evan looked at the barrier that trapped him with the goblins and a forbidding feeling began to rise within his heart.

He turned back to the three goblins and asked in a cold voice.

"Why do you want to stop me, and what are you all doing in this closed place?"

The three Eldritch Goblins did not reply to Evan. Instead, the peak Rank Three Goblin tapped its foot on the ground again. As soon as it did, a giant rune that covered the entire ground within the red barrier appeared beneath Evan's feet.

When Evan saw the giant rune, his expression changed and two words immediately came to his mind.

'Primordial Rune.'

The moment the rune appeared, Evan felt a binding force invading his body and two notifications flashed before his eyes.
