Necromancer Of The Shadows-Chapter 1166 Terrifying Attack And Presence Of The Primordial (Part 3)

To use the second move of the Soul Slayer War Arts: Vortex of the Astral Souls, Evan needed a large number of souls and these souls must be captured using the first move of the Soul Slayer War Arts: Vortex of Lost Souls.

The number of souls required to use the second move depended on the level of the souls captured.

The stronger the souls, the fewer he would need.

Previously, Evan had captured a few Rank Three souls using the first move of the Soul Slayer War Arts, but they were not enough for him to unleash the second move. However, after reaching the Eldranthia Empire and encountering the barrier that blocked his path, he knew he would have to use his Shadow Walk skill to sneak in.

Earlier, In preparation to ensure he would have a strong trump card for escaping potential danger after going in, Evan killed many Rank Two and Rank Three Eldritch Horrors, capturing their souls using the First Form of the Soul Slayer War Arts.

When a user executes the second form of the Soul Slayer War Arts, they can choose one of the captured souls as the primary carrier and merge the rest of the souls into it.

This process creates a soul abomination that carries the combined power of all the captured souls and since this move is performed with the Halberd of Destruction, the abomination is also infused with the true power of destruction, making it exceedingly lethal.

Earlier, when Evan used the second form of the Soul Slayer War Arts, he selected the soul of a Peak Rank Three Eldritch Horror he had killed as the carrier because this particular Eldritch Horror had been quite powerful.

However, the moment Evan activated the second move and the vortex opened, he sensed that something was wrong.

As the second move activated, and all the captured souls began to merge with the Eldritch Horror's soul to form the soul abomination, a strange energy from the captured space of the Vortex of Lost Souls merged with it.

This energy was the same one the Halberd of Destruction received when it absorbed the soul strand hidden within Valery's core.

He wasn't sure what was happening, but the moment that energy merged with the soul abomination, its form changed.

Instead of a monstrous soul creature with tens of different heads and limbs protruding from its body, it transformed into the figure of a little girl.

The girl, however, was still in soul form and thus appeared completely white.

The entire transformation—from the creation of the Soul Abomination to its form changing into that of the little girl—happened in mere seconds. Even though there was a slight delay in the skill, the figure of the girl stepped out of the Vortex Of Astral Souls just seconds after Evan activated the second move.

As she emerged, a cold aura spread across the Azragoth World, freezing the bodies of every living being. The aura wasn't overwhelmingly powerful, nor did it cause any harm, but there was something about it that made it impossible for anyone to move under its influence.

Realizing something was amiss, Evan noticed the Halberd of Destruction in his hand trembling violently.

He could feel the weapon struggling to maintain control over the girl that had emerged from the vortex and since the Halberd was connected to his soul, Evan could also sense fierce resistance emanating from the girl, as if her ego refused to be controlled by anything.

'I don't know what the hell is going on, but I have a feeling I really screwed up this time...' Evan thought as his spiritual power surged, desperately trying to control the Halberd of Destruction and prevent the figure of the little girl from breaking free from its control.

'From the looks of her body, she must be that Primordial loli Valery spoke about—the one beaten by Azroth in her dream...' Evan speculated about the little girl's identity and his face grew serious.

Based on all the information he had, he was certain that Azroth's relationship with all the Primordials was utterly doomed; they might even be arch-enemies.

Although the girl standing before him had come into existence through the Soul Slayer War Arts and was under the control of the Halberd of Destruction, he knew he couldn't afford to be careless when came to these Primordial beings.

Using all of his spiritual power, Evan finally weakened the resistance the little girl's figure was displaying and the moment he felt her resistance begin to wane—

"Elora, do it…" He commanded Elora to make a move while he controlled the Halberd using his spiritual power.

Woosh!

At Evan's order, the girl's figure took a step forward, reappearing a few meters away from Emperor Velgoth.

Coming some distance away from the Emperor, she raised one of her fingers and pointed it directly at him.

The instant her finger was aimed at Velgoth, a cold energy locked onto him as though his very soul was about to freeze.

A wave of dread unlike anything he had ever felt before overwhelmed his body.

Driven by the looming threat of death, Velgoth used everything he had and forcibly broke free from the strange aura that had been preventing anyone in the Azragoth World from moving.

Woosh!

Once free, Emperor Velgoth transformed into a streak of black light and fled, speeding away as fast as he could.

In just a second, he covered tens of thousands of kilometres. However, even after running away, a look of despair filled his face because even after putting such a vast distance between himself and the girl, the deadly threat still clung to him.

Suddenly, the finger the girl had pointed at Velgoth began to glow with a cold white light and in the next moment—

Swish!

A beam of white light, transcending the very concept of distance shot out from her finger, striking Velgoth instantly despite the vast space between them.

The beam of cold, pale light was so strange that it hit Velgoth the moment it was released, giving him no time to react or dodge. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

The white beam touched his body, yet did nothing to his physical form. Instead, it sank deep within him, striking his soul.

The moment the cold beam pierced his soul, Emperor Velgoth—who had been speeding away suddenly froze in place and began plummeting from the sky.

Thud!

A dull thudding sound echoed across the world and Emperor Velgoth's body crashed to the ground like a frozen puppet.
