Necromancer Of The Shadows - Chapter 835

Chapter 835: Black Turtle (Part 1)
Riding the wind and lightning sheep, Evan headed toward a certain direction. The last thing he needed to collect in order to complete the second trial was the Frost Vine, which grows near water sources.

Evan had spent one and a half days collecting the other herbs on the list, and during that time, he had come across a water source.

However, he didn’t try to collect the Frost Vine at that time because the water source was being protected by a Peak Rank Two monster and that monster was quite troublesome to deal with.

About five hours after escaping from the range of Walter and Momon’s spiritual senses, Evan saw a small lake in the distance.

“It won’t be easy to take down that bastard,” Evan muttered in a low voice as he thought about the monster of the lake.

“Though I didn’t search around the lake, I already know where the Frost Vine is,” Evan said to himself as his eyes glowed brightly.

Soon, the wind and lightning sheep stopped at the edge of the lake. The lake was a few kilometres wide, and there was a small island in the middle of it.

Evan was one hundred and ten percent sure that the Frost Vine was on that island.

Why was he sure?

Well, using the Hawk’s Eye skill, he could see an ice-blue vine growing in the middle of the island, and when he told Amara about it, she confirmed that it was the thing they were looking for.

“As expected, it is not going to be easy,” Evan sighed because of the location of the vine and took a deep breath.

He didn’t immediately jump into the water and move towards the island because he knew that entering the lake without preparation was like entering the lion’s den.

For the next ten minutes, he considered many things and finally thought of a way to kill the monster of the lake without using his authority, Death Guardian and skill Shadow Possession.

“Although the chances of success are not one hundred percent, it is worth a try,” Evan muttered in a low voice as his shadow started to shake.

For the first time after entering the Tomb, Evan released all of his shadow undeads. As the army of thousands of shadow undeads appeared outside of the lake, an aura of death spread in all directions.

As the aura of death engulfed the surroundings, the water of the lake started to churn, and Evan noticed two deep yellow eyes the size of basketballs looking at him and his shadow undeads from the depth of the water.

Evan’s smile grew unnaturally when he saw the cold deep yellow eyes, and he gave only one order to all of his shadow undeads: “Wreak havoc!”

Hearing Evan’s order, the purple-burning eyes of the shadow undeads gleamed ominously, and their auras exploded outward, shaking the entire lake.

The yellow eyes that were looking at Evan and his shadow undeads narrowed when the aura of the shadow undeads covered the entire lake and the next second…

ROAR!

With a thunderous roar, a giant turtle emerged from the depths of the lake and the island in the middle of the lake was covered in a sphere of water, preventing anyone from reaching it.

The turtle was around one hundred meters tall and forty meters long, had deep yellow eyes, and was covered in a tough-looking black diamond-shaped shell. A ten-meter-long tail, covered in sharp spikes was coming out of its back, and its face and four legs were covered in dragon-like scales.

Looking at the giant black turtle staring at him and his shadow undeads with cold eyes, Evan couldn’t help but shudder a bit.

Although the aura of the turtle was a bit weaker than Momon and Walter’s auras, it was still something Evan couldn’t ignore. Moreover, Evan was wary of the turtle for a completely different reason.

As the turtle appeared in the middle of the water, Evan’s shadow undeads attacked it using their skills. The entire lake started to shake because of the attacks of his shadow undeads, but the yellow eyes of the turtle glowed a bit, and the lake returned to its calm state.

At the same time, the attacks of the shadow undeads came into contact with the turtle, resulting in a loud explosion that shook the surroundings and illuminated the entire lake area with different shades of colours due to the combined attacks.

“As expected from a turtle bastard,” Evan said in a neutral voice as he looked at a diamond-shaped light blue shield that appeared in front of the turtle and stopped all the attacks.

The shield was visibly cracked in many places due to the attacks of the shadow undeads, but the water of the lake suddenly moved towards the shield, and all the cracks on it started to disappear.

Some shadow undeads, including Aqua, jumped into the water to attack the turtle from underwater, but the moment they jumped, the water came to life and tore their bodies to shreds as if the lake was a forbidden place where anyone who entered would die.

“It has a ridiculous defence, can control the water of the lake and most importantly…” Evan used the Eyes Of The Abyss ability of Gobu and saw that the world essence of the lake was continuously being absorbed by the turtle. “… As long as this guy is inside the lake, it has an unlimited supply of world essence.”

Evan took a deep breath and used the second effect of the Growth Link skill to take Albelu’s skill. Blood lightning started to cover his body, and a bloodthirsty aura started to emanate from him.

“Continue your attacks. Don’t stop no matter what,” He said to his shadow undeads and shot high into the sky, leaving behind a trail of blood lightning.

Following Evan’s order, the shadow undeads once again attacked the turtle, but just like before, all of their attacks were stopped by the turtle using its skill and the power of the lake.

Evan stopped high in the sky for a moment, and after seeing the attacks of his shadow undeads were still not working, he took a deep breath and shot towards the heaven, leaving behind a trail of blood lightning in the middle of the sky.
