Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1224  It Seems I Will Have To Seek Help From Him

Above the entrance to the Primordial Shadow Realm, a figure stood in the void, secretly monitoring the realm.

"It's already been more than half a year since that guy became a Rank One Core Evolver and arrived in Utopia from the lower world..." The figure muttered in a gloomy voice. "Why hasn't he come here yet to integrate the Primordial Shadow Realm with his core?"

The figure standing in the void was cloaked in darkness, making it difficult to discern whether they were male or female.

Suddenly, the body of the person standing in the void trembled, and its aura fluctuated wildly as if it had received a severe blow and was seriously injured.

The space above the entrance of the Primordial Shadow Realm trembled because of the sudden fluctuation of its aura, and at that moment, a powerful spiritual sense emerged from the portal of the Shadow Realm, scanning the area where the figure was hidden.

The figure's expression shifted as it felt the spiritual sense scanning the area, and it immediately disappeared, escaping hundreds of thousands of kilometres away in an instant.

Inside the Primordial Shadow Realm, Anastasia's essence clone looked at the place where the figure was hiding with narrowed eyes, a frown appearing on her face.

"Who was that person?" She muttered in a low voice, surprised that she hadn't been able to see its face before it escaped.

"Although I couldn't use the full power of my spiritual senses to scan the outside world while staying inside the Shadow Realm, to be able to escape from the detection of my spiritual senses, that person must be at least a mid-level Rank Six Core Evolver."

Anastasia thought for a moment, recalling the information about all the Rank Six Core Evolvers she knew, trying to match them with the figure who had just escaped. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Unfortunately, because she had only glimpsed it briefly, she couldn't match its identity with any rank six core evolver she knew about.

"Judging by its aura, it seemed somewhat similar to demonic aura, so maybe it was a Rank Six Core Evolver from Gehenna Empire who was stationed here to monitor the Primordial Shadow Realm," Anastasia said with a shake of her head and stopped thinking about it.

The demons had found the entrance of the Primordial Shadow Realm long ago and had been monitoring it since then, so she wasn't surprised that a demon was keeping an eye here.

She used her spiritual senses again to scan the outside of the Shadow Realm to see if there was anyone else, and when she did not find anyone, she stopped paying attention to it and returned to the castle.

"Fu*k, what happened to my essence clone?" The figure cloaked in darkness, who escaped earlier cursed in a gloomy voice, feeling that part of its soul had been completely destroyed—or rather, erased from existence.

Even if a person creates an essence clone using a fragment of their soul, their soul wouldn't be heavily injured because, in a sense, the soul is not destroyed; it's simply separated and placed in a different carrier.

Moreover, once the essence clone is destroyed, that part of the soul and the power used to create the essence clone will automatically return to the original owner—unless it encounters a terrifying opponent who could seal the soul and power after destroying the essence clone.

When Evan had turned Elysia into a Shadow Undead, Eilistraea also lost a part of her soul, and a very small portion of that soul returned to Utopia along with her powers.

However, because Elysia was just a B-rank essence clone, the part of the soul and the powers Eilistraea had lost was so small that it basically had no effect on her.

But the essence clone that the figure monitoring the Primordial Shadow Realm created had the power of a mid-level Rank Three Core Evolver, and it was completely erased from existence by Evan.

While the essence clone was on Earth, although the powers of its original body decreased quite a bit, it wasn't a big deal because no one knew of its existence, and it was adept at hiding, making sure that no one would be able to find or attack it.

But now that its soul and powers were completely erased from existence, it had a huge impact on the figure hiding above the Primordial Shadow Realm, permanently reducing around 30% of its power, and it would take hundreds or even thousands of years for it to fully recover.

"How could my essence clone be destroyed? It was a perfect plan, and I was so close to success! Why now, of all times?" The figure's voice shook with madness as a strange demonic aura erupted from its body, unintentionally destroying tens of thousands of kilometres of the terrain around it.

The chaotic aura persisted for several minutes before the figure finally calmed, looking down at itself with a grim expression.

"Because my essence clone was completely destroyed, leaving nothing behind, I didn't even receive any memories back from it, and I don't know who destroyed it and, more importantly, what kind of method that person used to completely erase my clone, leaving no fragment of its memory," The figure muttered in a low voice, a dangerous gleam shining in its eyes.

"If I try to recover on my own, it will take hundreds or even thousands of years, and I can't wait that long because that guy will soon come to the Primordial Shadow Realm to integrate it with his core..." The figure looked in the direction of the Primordial Shadow Realm, and after staring at it for a while, its eyes shone with madness.

"It seems I will have to seek help from him," The figure muttered to itself and disappeared from there.

Once the figure cloaked in darkness disappeared, a small black orb landed at the place where it had been a second ago and released a terrifying corrosive power, erasing all the traces of the chaotic aura that erupted from the figure's body earlier when it had lost control over its emotions.
