Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 642 Void Break (Part 4)

"You were pretending all this time so you could lure me out of the city," Grunk said in a cold voice when he felt the Sonic Barrie that Evan used the seal off the space around them.

"You're right, unfortunately, you realized it too late," Evan said with a scary smile on his scarred face.

Beads of cold sweat appeared on Grunk's forehead when he heard Evan and he started to look around him with a careful look on his face.

Evan's lips curved upwards when he saw this and he said in a light voice.

"Don't worry, there is no one other than the two of us. I don't need anyone's help to slaughter a pig like you."

Grunk stopped looking around and narrowed his eyes when he heard Evan. He didn't believe Evan's words because even though he could tell that Evan was powerful, he did not believe that he would dare to fight against him alone.

'For now, my best option is to kill him as soon as possible and break this barrier so that I can return back to the city using the return stone,' Grunk muttered inwardly and his aura started to increase.

'So he wants to kill me in a single move so that he can escape from here before anyone else attacks him,' Evan thought when he felt Grunk's rising aura and smiled lightly.

Woosh!

Suddenly, drops of water started to fill the surroundings.

Evan looked at Grunk and noticed the world essence around him was changing into water and was gathering around his fist.

"Since he is going to use his strongest attack, it is a good chance for me to test out my self created skill," Evan muttered and used Temporal Velocity skill.

Time seemed to slow down in Evan's eyes as he watched Grunk gather all of his strength around his fist.

Rumble!

The surroundings around Grunk trembled as along with the water, fist force also started to cover his entire arm. Grunk's muscles bulged out, he took a step forward and punched in Evan's direction.

ROAR!

A roar of a wild beast resounded inside the sonic barrier, and a giant water serpent that was filled with Grunk's powerful fist force went towards Evan like a bullet train.

Evan felt a powerful force locking down on his body and for a moment, it became hard for me to breathe. The feeling was the same as when Nate used the ability bead on him. The only difference was that compared to the pressure of the ability bead, Grunk's attack's pressure was like a child's play to him.

Even though the water serpent was coming in his direction at an incredible speed, Evan still closed his eyes and adjusted his breath.

After seeing the power of the Ability Bead used by Nate, Evan realized that it was very difficult for him to counter its power without using the Soul Absorption skill.

But using the Soul Absorption skill takes a huge toll on his body, as happened in the dungeon when he faced Clone.

Evan wanted a powerful defensive skill or a skill that could help him withstand the impact of powerful attacks before going to Utopia so that he could ensure his safety.... And he received an opportunity when 5% of his world essence turned into the conceptual energy of Void.

When Evan's five percent world essence turned into conceptual energy of Void, he entered into a state of enlightenment where his understanding of Void Energy increased greatly. During the state of enlightenment, Evan created a skill based on his understanding of the Void Element.

Unlike his other skills, the skill Evan created was a bit different. He can use his mana, world essence or shadow energy to activate his other skills. But the skill that Evan created can only be used with the help of the conceptual energy of Void.

Without the conceptual energy of Void, Evan can't use this skill by consuming his mana, world essence or shadow energy.

Currently, 7.62% of Evan's world essence has turned into the conceptual energy of Void. This amount of conceptual energy was not high but...

"... It should be enough to deal with an attack of this level," Evan muttered with his eyes closed and slowly extended his right hand in front of him.

When Grunk saw Evan's eyes were closed, his lips curved upwards and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Closing your eyes won't help you to survive fr_" Suddenly, the words Grunk was about to speak struck inside his mouth and a horrified look appeared on his face.

Just as the water serpent was about to hit Evan, his eyes snapped open and a dark purple energy covered his entire right arm, which he had previously extended in front of him. The dark purple energy gathered around Evan's palm and his eyes flashed with bright light.

"Void Break," Evan said and closed his palm like he was crushing something. The moment he closed his palm, the Dark Purple energy that Evan gathered in his hand scattered around him and the next second...

... Crack... Crack... Cracked!

The space in front of Evan shattered and a stable void rift that was two meters long and two meters wide opened in front of him.

Woosh!

A powerful suction force erupted from the void rift and the water serpent that was heading towards Evan was pulled inside it.

Rumble!

The void rift became unstable because of the powerful force of the water serpent and started to shake. Evan used his conceptual energy of Void and tried his best to maintain the void rift.

Because Evan was not experienced enough in using conceptual energy, he used up almost all of his void energy in just two seconds.

But in those two seconds, the Void Rift completely swallowed the water serpent.

The moment the water serpent was swallowed by the void rift, Evan stopped using the Void energy and the rift in front of him immediately closed.

Evan's heart was beating like a war drum after the rift closed. Although Grunk's attack was weaker than the ability bead that Nate used, he still could not help but feel excited after knowing that he stopped such a powerful attack without any problem.

'I just created this skill recently so I can still increase its power in the future' Evan thought inwardly and took a step forward.

Flicker Step!

Using the flicker step skill, Evan arrived in front of Grunk in an instant. Although Grunk was shocked to his core after seeing what had just happened, he still reacted in time and punched Evan the moment he arrived in front of him.

Evan's expressions remained unchanged seeing Grunk's punch. He just sidestepped a little and easily avoided Grunk's punch.

After dodging Grunk's punch, Evan gathered mana around his fist and before Grunk could pull back his hand, he struck Grunk's elbow which was just a few centimetres above his hand.

Crack!

The sound of bone cracking rang out inside the sonic barrier and Grunk's elbow broke down, rendering his arm completely useless.

"Arghh" Grunk roared out in pain and tried to back away from Evan. But before he could back away, Evan took a step forward and arrived right in front of him.

Energy gathered around Evan's hand and he punched Grunk right in the middle of the stomach. Unlike his punches from six months ago, where he usually wasted most of the energy, Evan's current punch was completely different.

The moment Evan's punch struck Grunk's stomach, all the air went out of Grunk's body, some of his internal organs turned into a bloody mess and his body leaned forward.

Mana gathered around Evan's knee and he struck his knee right at Grunk's face who was leaning forward.

Crunch!

A crunching sound rang out and Grunk's skull cracked open, turning his vision red because of blood.

Grunk felt the world around him spin and even before he could understand what was happening....

....Thud!

He dropped to the ground and lost consciousness.

In a matter of seconds, Evan completely crushed a rank one orc who could easily kill tens of S rankers without any problems.

Evan's expressions remained the same even after Grunk lost consciousness. He looked at him for a few seconds and stretched out his hand.

"Let's see what is this place," He muttered and grabbed Grunk's face.

"Soul Search."
