Necromancer Of The Shadows

Bang!

With a small bang, Evan's right hand exploded into blood mist because of the powerful sonic vibrations.

"Fu*k" Evan felt a pain like never before when his hand exploded, but he gritted his teeth and endured it because the surrounding was still filled with powerful sonic vibrations, and he knew that if he lost focus even for a second, his entire body would explode into blood mist.

Sera's condition was not good either. Although she was around one hundred meters away from Evan, her physical body was not as strong as him so she was also having a hard time enduring the sonic vibrations.

Some of her internal organs were already badly damaged and were bleeding.

After around five seconds, Evan was finally able to control his skill, and the sonic vibrations started to settle down.

*Huff *Huff

Evan panted heavily and his eyes were filled with fear. This time he used only a tenth amount of of the souls that he used last time, but he almost killed himself again.

'I once again forgot to decide the level of the souls while using them as fuel..' Evan cried inwardly and looked at his missing right hand.

The more powerful soul Evan uses as fuel, the stronger his skill will be. Because of the sudden attack of Sera, Evan didn't get time to decide the level of the souls that he wanted to use as fuel and subconsciously used the most powerful souls that he had as fuel.

Among the ten thousand souls that he used, most of them were of A+, A and B+ rank.

If not for the fact that he immediately controlled the power of his sonic resonance skill after feeling the danger and stopped providing mana to his skill, his entire body might have exploded because of the sonic vibrations.

"Damn, it hurt like hell" Evan tried to stop the bleeding using the regeneration to its full power but the pain he was feeling still made him cry.

*Cough

Suddenly he heard the sound of coughing and saw Sera who was almost on the verge of collapsing.

Although she protected herself using mana, her eyes, nose, ear and mouth were all bleeding. Just by looking at her, anyone could tell that she sustained serious internal injuries.

Evan wanted to attack immediately seeing her condition, but looking at his hand that was still dripping with blood, he knew he first had to do something about it.

Moreover, he looked towards the ground and saw the blazebringer gauntlet that he was wearing in his right hand lying on the ground.

The entire gauntlet was filled with cracks and was looking like it would shatter at any moment.

The blazebringer gauntlet is a pair artefact, since the right part of the gauntlet stopped working because of the damage, the left part of the gauntlet was also useless.

The Ruby red gauntlet that Evan was wearing in his left hand already returned to its normal state and was looking like an ordinary gauntlet. The scorching heat that it was releasing a moment ago completely disappeared.

'Now along with finding the Evolution materials I also need to fool Valery to repair these gauntlets for me...' Evan complained inwardly but because of thinking about evolutionary materials, he remembered about Carnage.

Without wasting any time he took out Carnage which was loaded with bullet made from palluto.

Although Carnage's weight was more than two hundred kilograms, he was still easily able to hold it just by using his left hand.

He aimed Carnage at Sera who was still trying to regain her senses and activated the Mana Strengting skill to increase the power of the bullet.

Sera who was still trying to regain her senses suddenly felt a chill running down her spine.

Bang!

A loud sound of a gunshot rang out and Evan was pushed back because of the recoil, but he didn't care about it and activated the other two skills of the Carnage.

The first skill was the phantom shot.

--) Phantom Shot: Shots fired from the Carnage can phase through obstacles, allowing you to take down enemies who think they are safe behind cover. (Can only be used three times a day) 

The second skill was 'Zephyr Precision'

---) Zephyr Precision: The Carnage Rifle's shots can be adjusted mid-flight, allowing the user to change the trajectory of their bullets to hit targets from unexpected angles.

Because he was holding the rifle with a single hand, it was hard for him to aim perfectly which is why he used this skill.

Using his spiritual power he guided the bullet that headed straight toward Sera's head.

The moment the sound of the gunshot rang out, Sera already knew what was coming and she immediately tried to create a mana barrier in front of her.

Although she was sure the normal mana barrier wouldn't be able to stop the bullet, she thought that she would still get enough time to dodge the bullet because of the mana barrier.

But the mana barrier that Sera created was completely useless because of the skill 'Phantom Shot'

The bullet phased through the mana barrier that Sera created and under the guidance of Evan went straight towards her head.

Bang!

Another small bang resounded throughout the sky and Sera's head exploded like a watermelon.

Evan watched as the headless body of Sera twitched in mid-air and soon started to fall down.

Boom!

With a small booming sound, the headless body of Sera dropped to the ground, creating a small crater in the process.

Evan sighed in relief when he saw this and immediately summoned Elysia to heal his hand.

Although Elysia couldn't grow back his lost hand in a few seconds, it was not a problem for her to stop the bleeding completely.

Under the effect of regeneration and Elysia's healing skill, the bleeding of his hand soon stopped.

"Thanks Elysia" Evan thanked Elysia after his hand stopped bleeding and summoned her back into his shadow storage.

He came down from the sky and landed beside Sera's headless body.

He wanted to turn her into shadow undead but he could feel Nathan was watching him from the distance.

'He must have come here to stop us from fighting but after seeing Amanda's appearance he did nothing.' Evan thought to himself and used shadow storage to put away Sera's body.

But Evan's expression changed drastically when he tried to put away Sera's body because he realized that for some reason, he could not put away her body in his shadow storage.

And he knew the only thing that he could not put inside his shadow storage were living things.

'She is still alive' This thought immediately came into Evan's mind and he realized one more thing.

'There is no soul orb floating above her body'

After receiving the Soul Absorption skill, Evan can see a multicoloured soul orb every time he kills someone. But when he looked at Sera's headless body, he did not see anything.

He immediately wanted to attack her headless body again, but just as he was about to attack her

Boom!

A powerful red aura burst forth from her headless body and Evan was pushed away.
