Necromancer Of The Shadows - Chapter 682

Chapter 682: You Were The One Who Asked Me That Cringe Question, Right?
“This place is completely different from what I expected,” Evan muttered after passing through the portal gate.

After entering the portal gate, Evan found himself standing in a beautiful garden like place. In this enchanting garden, vibrant flowers of every hue were blooming beneath the lush canopies of towering trees. Butterflies were dancing among the flowers, and birds created a melodious symphony as they flitted from branch to branch. Squirrels playfully scamper across the manicured pathways, adding a lively touch to the serene landscape. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of blossoms, and a serene pond was reflecting the azure sky.

In the middle of the garden, Evan saw the huge Tower of Ascension piercing the sky and looking as if it was reaching into another realm.

“What a beautiful place,” Evan muttered after looking around and walked towards the centre area of the garden where the tower was located. After a few minutes of walking, Evan came across a normal looking gate leading into the tower.

“It seems all the people who were guarding the entrance of the Tower Of Ascension connected to Eldoria City already left after Mogul and others freed them from their contracts.”

Previously, this entrance of the Tower was guarded by the people who were forced to sign a contract with the four great clans of Eldoria City, but after Evan cleared the dungeon and solved the problem of Noir and others, they freed the people who were forced to guard the entrance here.

Most of the people who were freed from the contract immediately left the World Domain. Meanwhile, some of them decide to stay in the World Domain and gather some resources before leaving.

“The spirit of the Tower told me to come to the Tower Of Ascension if I wanted to talk to it,” Evan muttered, wondering what should he do now. He tried calling the spirit of the tower several times but there was no response from it.

“Do I need to enter the Tower to talk to it?” Evan asked himself when he did not receive any response from the Tower and looked at the entrance in front of him.

After looking at the entrance of the Tower for a few seconds, he took a deep breath and his eyes turned sharp.

‘If the voice that I heard that day was the same voice that I am thinking about, then the things regarding the World Domain are a lot more complicated than I initially thought…’ Evan thought as the memory of the day when he heard the voice of the spirit of Tower came into his mind.

“I hope that after talking to this spirit I will be able to resolve some of my doubts,” Evan muttered and took a step forward, entering the Tower of Ascension.

The moment Evan entered the Tower, he felt a strange power enveloping his body and he lost all of his senses. He could not hear anything nor he could smell anything. Even his vision turned black and he felt like he was just floating in a boundless space without being able to control his body. Although Evan lost all of his senses, for some reason, he didn’t feel nervous or anything. On the contrary, he felt a strange sense of relaxation spreading all over his body as if all of his worries, and all of his desires were useless.

Evan knew that he shouldn’t submerge himself into this feeling as it might be dangerous, but he still could not help but think that maybe he should just stop caring about everything and stay here.

As Evan was losing his touch with reality, his spiritual power suddenly surged on its own and he regained all of his senses. The moment Evan regained all of his senses, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

“Fu*k, if my spiritual power didn’t react on time I might have lost my ego and would have turned into an idiot,” Evan cursed after regaining his senses. Just the fact that a moment ago he was thinking of staying here for the rest of his life made his heart turn cold.

“Just what the hell is this place?” Evan muttered and looked around him, trying to see where he was. But the moment he looked around him, Evan was completely stunned because he saw a boundless starry sky and he was floating in it like a small pebble. Giant Asteroids were moving around him like spaceships, his silhouette was illuminated by distant galaxies and the sun and moon were rotating around the different planets that were decorating the starry sky.

Far away from him, some dead planets exploded and turned into cosmic dust. The power of the explosions gave birth to black holes and some nearby small stars were swallowed inside them. Even though Evan was far away from the black holes and he could feel that he was safe, he still could not help but sweat buckets after seeing some of the planets exploding in front of him.

“Where the hell am I?” Evan asked himself, not understanding what was going on.

As Evan was thinking about his situation, a bright light suddenly covered the entire starry sky. Evan was forced to close his eyes because of the intensity of the light and when the light disappeared after a moment and he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in the middle of a boundless white space. All the stars, asteroids, galaxies, black holes, planets everything that was in the starry sky disappeared.

“Just what is going on here? Although I thought that I might have to face some trials after entering the Tower Of Ascension, I never thought that I would receive a space trip without a space suit after entering the Tower,” Evan muttered in a speechless voice, trying to understand what was happening.

As Evan was looking around the white space, he suddenly felt chaotic energy fluctuations emerging from the front of him.

Evan’s expression turned serious when he felt the chaotic energy waves and his mana started to move within his body.

Crack… Crack…

The space in front of him started to crack like a glass because of the chaotic aura. Evan tried to use wind manipulation skill to cover his body with the wind in order to increase his agility but noticed that there was no wind in the white space where he was standing.

The wind manipulation skill gives him the ability to manipulate the wind of the surroundings, but it doesn’t give him the ability to create wind out of nowhere so the wind manipulation skill was completely useless in the white space where there was no wind.

Noticing he could not use wind manipulation skill, Evan used the temporal velocity skill. The world around him slowed down and at the same time, his agility was increased by 30℅ because of the effect of skill.

Crack… Crack…

The cracks in the space continued to spread and after a moment…

Cracked…

The space in front of Evan collapsed and the chaotic aura he was feeling intensified. Amid the chaotic aura, Evan suddenly felt another energy and a shocked look appeared on his face.

“This… This aura is similar to the aura that I felt from the Eldritch Creature in the dungeon,” Evan muttered in a shocked voice and got ready to attack in case an Eldritch Creature came out of the space crack. As Evan was getting ready to attack, suddenly something came out of the space crack.

Woosh!

“Fu*k, it is really an Eldritch Creature,” Evan cursed when an arm which was covered in Eldritch Energy came out of the space crack.

Evan was about to launch his attack at the arm when suddenly a strange power filled with entire white space, a powerful pressure descended all over the white space and the next second…

“Close,” A cold emotionless voice rang out throughout the white space.

The power of the laws moved and the space crack that was in front of Evan started to close.

Wooooo!

Evan heard a strange angry voice from the depth of the space crack and the arm which was covered in Eldritch Energy tried to stop the space crack from closing.

Although the arm covered in Eldritch Energy tried to stop the space crack from closing, it wasn’t able to fight against the power of laws and eventually the space crack closed.

Evan looked at everything with a stunned expression on his face, not understanding what just happened.

While Evan was still standing with a dazed expression, a small golden orb that was releasing a terrifying power came down from the sky and stopped some distance away from him.

Evan came out of his shock when he noticed the small golden orb and felt the terrifying aura that was coming out from it.

“You.. Are you the spirit of the Tower Of Ascension?” Evan asked in an uncertain voice when he noticed the small golden orb.

{Yes}

Answering Evan’s question, an emotionless cold voice that was neither male nor female came out of the golden orb.

When Evan heard the voice that came out of the orb, his breathing quickened.

“A month ago when I tried to contact you I thought I was hallucinating when I heard your voice, but after hearing your voice once again I am now certain…” Evan muttered in a low voice and took a step towards the golden orb.

“You were the one who asked me that cringe question ‘What do I want to sacrifice’ when I was about to die in the Shadow Kingdom Dungeon, right?”
