Necromancer Of The Shadows - Chapter 979

Chapter 979: Leaving The Tomb (Part 4)
“Elora”

Upon using shadow senses to connect his vision with one of his shadow undeads, Evan was stunned to see Elora standing not far away from his shadow undeads.

At first, he was delighted to see her, but he soon realized something was wrong. The small red-haired girl was standing in front of an area filled with black smoke… And unlike normal black smoke, this black smoke was churning like sea waves.

Elora’s waist-length red hair was messy and her eyes were closed as if she were in a deep sleep.

The black smoke-filled area behind her was completely different from the other areas, and the churning smoke behind her was releasing an oppressive aura.

From the smoke, destructive energy fluctuations were emanating, and these energy fluctuations were the reason his shadow undeads were dying one after another.

Suddenly, one of the fluctuations flew toward the shadow undead to which Evan was connected through shadow senses.

The shadow undead tried to avoid the destructive energy fluctuation, but it was as if the energy wave was locked onto it.

Despite the shadow undead changing its position, the energy wave still came after it and destroyed its body in one fell sweep.

When the energy fluctuation destroyed the shadow undead connected to him through shadow senses, Evan felt a sharp pain coursing through his soul, and his face turned slightly pale.

“What the—” Evan staggered backward a few steps and clutched his head with one hand.

He breathed heavily and a look of disbelief shone on his face.

“How is this possible? That energy wave injured my soul just because I was connected with the shadow undead through shadow senses…” Evan muttered in a shocked voice, as it was the first time he was injured because of the shadow senses skill.

Normally, if the shadow undead to which he was connected through shadow senses was destroyed, he wouldn’t receive a backlash like this.

But this time, the destructive energy fluctuation not only destroyed his shadow undead, it even injured his soul.

Although the damage was not very high, it was still shocking to Evan that the energy fluctuation was able to damage his soul.

“Just what is the thing that is releasing those energy fluctuations and why is Elora standing there?”

Evan used his shadow senses one more time and connected his vision with a different shadow undead. Similar to before, he once again saw Elora standing in front of the churning black smoke with her eyes closed, and the same energy waves were coming out of it.

As Evan looked at the churning black smoke, he suddenly noticed there was something in the middle of the smoke.

He tried to focus on the thing, but because of the black smoke obstructing the senses of his shadow undeads, he couldn’t see anything clearly.

“These energy waves are coming out of that thing…” Evan muttered in a low voice as he looked at the thing in the middle of the smoke.

Suddenly, an energy wave came towards the shadow undead Evan was connected to.

Seeing the energy wave coming towards his shadow undead, Evan immediately stopped using the shadow senses, and after a second, he lost his connection with the said shadow undead.

Evan continued to observe the situation through his shadow undeads, hoping to find something useful, but even after ten minutes of watching, he wasn’t able to find anything.

“It seems I will have to go there myself if I want to know what is going on…” Evan muttered to himself and finally walked forward.

At this point, most of the shadow undeads who had reached the place where Elora was were already destroyed, and only five shadow undeads were left.

Evan could have sent more shadow undeads there, but he didn’t because he knew it would be meaningless as they would also be destroyed by the energy waves.

Around three minutes later, Evan was finally able to see his remaining shadow undeads who were trying their best to avoid the energy fluctuations coming out of the black smoke. He didn’t pay much attention to them and looked at Elora, who was standing with her eyes closed.

After arriving there, he didn’t immediately walk toward the churning smoke. Instead, he took a deep breath, and the next second…

“Elora!” He shouted loudly, blowing away some of the black smoke around him due to the intensity of his shout.

When Evan shouted, Elora’s body shook a little, but she did not open her eyes.

Evan frowned when he saw this and called her out a few more times. Each time he called her name, Elora’s body would tremble, but she didn’t move from her place nor did she open her eyes.

“What’s wrong with her? Is she in a coma or something?” Evan said with a deep frown on his face.

He tried to use his spiritual senses to probe her, but unfortunately, his spiritual senses were still not working properly due to the black smoke, preventing him from finding anything.

After failing to discover anything with his spiritual senses, Evan thought for a while and walked forward, moving towards Elora.

As he advanced, the black smoke churning like sea waves behind Elora became more violent.

Evan stopped when he noticed the change in the black smoke and waited for a while. But even after a minute, when nothing happened, he moved forward again.

As Evan got closer to Elora, the black smoke behind her became even more violent, and the destructive energy waves emanating from it intensified.

Suddenly, one of the energy waves came in Evan’s direction. Seeing the destructive energy wave approaching, Evan tried to dodge it, but just like before, the energy wave followed him.

Evan narrowed his eyes when he saw this. He took out a normal sword from his shadow storage and threw it towards the energy wave.

The energy wave collided with the sword, and both disappeared simultaneously.

Evan sighed in relief when he saw this and took out many normal-looking weapons that he had collected since entering the Tomb.

As he moved forward, more and more energy waves came towards him, but he neutralized them using the weapons in his hands.

About a minute later, Evan safely arrived in front of Elora, and surprisingly, the area within one meter around her was not affected by the energy waves coming out of the black smoke.

Evan looked at Elora carefully after stopping in front of her and noticed her aura was very weak.

“Elora,” He said in a gentle voice and touched her head.

The moment Evan touched her head, a white light flashed, and his vision turned dark.
