Chapter 1187 Null Eyes (Part 1)
Swish!
In the middle of the sky, a golden slash made of pure energy of destruction surged forward, tearing apart the space as it moved.
ROAR!
A mid-level Rank Three Eldritch Horror let out a terrified roar and tried desperately to escape the path of the golden slash, but suddenlyâ
Wrzzz!
The space around the Horror solidified, making it difficult for the creature to move.
A look of pure terror crossed the creature's grotesque face as it struggled, releasing a burst of Eldritch Energy from its body, shattering the space restrictions instantly.
However, even though it destroyed the restrictions, it was already too late.
Swish!
The golden slash made of pure destructive energy reached the Horror in the blink of an eye, and before the creature could do anything, its massive body was cleaved cleanly in two.
Even after slicing through the mid-level Rank Three Eldritch Horror, the golden slash showed no signs of stopping and it continued to surge forward, wiping out hundreds of low-level Eldritch Horrors that were following behind the Rank Three creature.
As the bodies of the dead Eldritch Horrors made contact with the ground, they immediately disintegrated into dust, and their energy was absorbed into the core of the Azragoth World.
About five hundred meters above the battlefield, Evan panted slightly as he wiped the sweat from his forehead after killing the rank three horror.
Evan's left eye gleamed with a deep, blood-red glow, and the sky above began to shift from its reddish-orange hue to a dark crimson. A massive red eye materialized in the centre of the sky, glaring down at the battlefield with an overwhelming killing intent that suffused the air and made everyone tremble in fear.
All the Eldritch Horrors and the Eldritch army that Velgoth had brought with him halted their fighting and turned their gaze towards the sky, an absolute look of terror filling their eyes. The overwhelming killing intent radiating from the colossal red eye was so suffocating that each of them felt their very souls trembling in fear.
However, unlike the Eldritch Horrors and Velgoth's army, the shadow undeads and the skeletons under Evan's command didn't stop fighting. In fact, their attacks became even more ferocious upon feeling the killing intent radiating from the blood red eye.
Taking full advantage of the paralysis gripping the Eldritch Horrors, the undead army launched a brutal assault, slaughtering the horrors at a terrifyingly rapid pace. The battlefield was quickly transformed into a gruesome meat grinder, where tens of thousands of horrors fell every passing second.
Though the flesh and blood of every slain Eldritch creature was immediately absorbed by the Azragoth World, the sheer speed at which they were dying filled the air with a nauseating stench of blood and the thick, oppressive energy of death.
So many creatures were being killed at once that the battlefield became a ghastly sight of devastation, with the aura of death engulfing everything.
Evan focused on controlling his Gaze of Monarch skill and soon managed to stop the killing intent from affecting Velgoth's army. As a result, they, too, rejoined the slaughter, rapidly decreasing the Eldritch Horrors' numbers and feeding vast amounts of energy to the World Core in the process.
For several minutes, Evan maintained the Gaze of Monarch, watching as the number of Eldritch Horrors was whittled down significantly. Once their numbers had decreased to a manageable level, he finally deactivated the skill and exhaled heavily, panting from exertion.
"Even though my shadow undeads shared some of their spiritual power with me, it's still no easy task to control millions of creatures simultaneously," Evan muttered, wiping the sweat from his brow.
His gaze then shifted towards the area where Velgoth and the Rank Five Eldritch Horror were locked in fierce combat, and without wasting a moment, he stepped forward, instantly teleporting a few thousand kilometres away until he stood thousands of meters high in the sky some distance away from their battlefield.
The region where Velgoth and the Rank Five Eldritch Horror were fighting was in complete disarray.
The chaotic energies of their clash were so intense that the space around them was distorted, and the world essence was in complete turmoil, making it impossible for Evan to clearly see what was happening inside.
Evan observed the turbulent scene for a few seconds, taking a deep breath before reaching into his shadow storage.
From his shadow storage, he pulled out the deep-blue potion that Octavius had specially crafted for him earlier and downed it in one swift motion.
As the potion's effects coursed through his body, Evan's eyes flashed with a deep purple light and focusing on the spot where Velgoth and the Rank Five Eldritch Horror were fighting, he activated his recently acquired skillâNull Eyes.
