Necromancer Of The Shadows - C.865 Solarian Sunfruit (Part 8)

Evan didn't expect the black bird would still be able to counterattack even after taking his attack head-on.

He thought that since the bird was already injured, his attack would make it faint or at least give him a few more seconds to follow up with his next attack. So when a ball of dark brown fire came towards him at lightning speed, he wasn't able to dodge it even though he was using the Temporal Velocity skill.

The ball of dark brown fire struck Evan right at his face and...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

An explosion as if a nuclear bomb had detonated happened. Tens of kilometres of sky was engulfed in dark brown fire and for a moment, the black clouds that covered the gloomy sky of the second layer were blown away, making it possible to see the clear blue sky.

But the clear blue sky didn't last long because out of nowhere, more black clouds appeared and once again turned the sky gloomy.

The black bird, who was lying flat at the core of the mountain panted heavily and looked at the sky covered in dark brown flames with a hateful look on its face.

Blood was leaking from the corner of its beak and its aura was very weak as if it had used all of its power in its last attack.

Scree—

Rumble!

The black bird was about to screech in victory after blasting away Evan's body into bits, but it stopped when the sky suddenly started to rumble!

Woosh!

The dark brown fire covering the sky was suddenly blown away and a streak of golden light tore through it and appeared in front of its face in an instant.

"Didn't your mother teach you it's not good to spit fire on someone's face," Evan, who was completely unharmed said after appearing in front of the black bird and kicked its face.

Screech!

The black bird screamed in pain and was blasted backward like a rag doll. As the black bird rolled on the ground after getting kicked by Evan, the terrifying aura coming out of Evan's body disappeared and the duration of Death Guardian Authority ended.

"It's good that the Death Guardian Authority was activated and saved me from that attack..." Evan said while sighing in relief because he knew that if he wasn't under the effect of the Death Guardian Authority, his body would have been blasted into smithereens.

He looked at the black bird lying flat on the ground and walked towards it with slow and cautious steps so that he wouldn't be caught off guard once again.

But as Evan walked towards it, he realized he didn't need to worry because the bird was on the brink of losing consciousness and its old injuries resurfaced, making it bleed from all over its body.

Evan stopped a few meters away from the black bird and noticed it was looking at him with its dim eyes. Even though the bird's eyes were dim, he could still feel its hostility towards him.

"Do you want to live?" Evan didn't care about the bird's hostile gaze and asked it in a plain voice.

The bird didn't show any visible reaction upon hearing Evan, but Evan knew that the bird could understand him.

"If you want to live, then give me your soul essence and work for me for the next three months."

The eyes of the black bird blazed with anger when it heard Evan wanted its soul essence, and it looked at him with disdainful eyes, as if asking him to fu*k off.

'I told you, it won't give you its soul essence easily,' Evan heard Octavius' voice inside his mind. Although the old man was still stunned because of how easily Evan took care of the black bird, he did not find it unbelievable after thinking Evan was Shadow Monarch's clone.

"Still acting arrogant even though you are on the brink of death," Evan ignored what Octavius said and took a step forward. As he took a step forward, dark pressure started to come out of his body and the area behind him turned pitch black.

Fear!

He activated his Fear skill and released the true form of his soul. Although the effect of Death Guardian Authority ended, he was still under the effect of Shadow Possession, so his current spiritual power was nearly at the peak of mid-level Rank Two.

Evan didn't notice, but because of his high spiritual power, the true form of his soul that he released using the Fear skill was a little different than before.

Unlike the pure darkness with red eyes, now one of the eyes in the darkness was golden in colour and a very faint outline of a person who seemed to be sitting on a throne could be seen inside the darkness.

When the black bird noticed the darkness behind Evan and felt the gaze of the man sitting on the throne, its entire existence shook.

Looking at the red and golden eyes of the man, a look of absolute horror appeared on its face and its body started to shake.

Even Octavius, who saw this, turned pale and immediately closed his eyes because he felt his soul would be destroyed if he looked at the darkness behind Evan for a long time.

"Are you going to give me your soul essence or not?" Evan asked in a cold voice that sent chills down the black bird's spine.

The black bird tried to resist the fear it was feeling, but Evan suddenly took another step forward and placed one of his feet on top of its head.

"So, what is your choice?" The black bird felt as if its entire soul was being sucked away by the darkness behind Evan, and a forbidding feeling engulfed its heart.

For some reason, it felt if it refused, a terrible fate would befall it.

The black bird looked at the faint outline of the person sitting in the darkness behind Evan and felt its cold and indifferent gaze on itself.

The bird looked at it for a few seconds and in the end, it lowered its head in front of Evan.
