Necromancer Of The Shadows-Chapter 1023 Mind Intrusion

'Wh-what is this?'

Lavel dropped to his knees while staring at Evan with his eyes wide open in horror.

The four elves who were pressed to the ground because of the gravity pressure were also trembling, their eyes filled with endless fear.

In front of them, Evan stood with an indifferent look on his face, his eyes flashing with a hint of golden light and the area behind him had turned completely black.

In the endless darkness behind him, a blurry silhouette of a person sitting on a throne with heterochromia eyes—one red and one golden—could be seen.

Evan was currently using his skill, Fear, but compared to before when there was nothing in the darkness other than the blurry silhouette, now a jet-black halberd glowing with golden light was hovering right beside the man on the throne.

The Halberd of Destruction was a soul weapon, so one of its abilities was to affect the spiritual skills used by its wielder.

Fear was a skill that usually instilled a sense of dread within its target, but now, because of the effect of the Halberd of Destruction, not only was the sense of dread that it instilled in its target increased, but this skill could also directly destroy the soul of the target as long as the target's spiritual power was lower than Evan's spiritual power.

Lavel's spiritual power was higher than Evan's, so it was impossible for him to directly destroy his soul using the Fear skill, but it didn't mean he couldn't damage his soul.

As Evan used the Fear skill and Lavel stared at the endless darkness that appeared behind Evan, the sense of dread he was feeling continued to increase, and because of the effect of the Halberd of Destruction, his soul was getting injured with each passing second.

Evan didn't target the four elves who were pressed to the ground using the Fear skill because he was sure that if he targeted them just as he was doing with Lavel, their souls would be destroyed in just a few seconds.

Although Evan didn't target them, it didn't mean the Fear skill didn't affect them. The dreadful spiritual aura that engulfed the surroundings after Evan used the Fear skill still made the four elves so terrified that two Rank One elves lost consciousness in just a few seconds, while the Rank Two elves were trembling in fear, not daring to look at Evan.

Around thirty seconds later, Evan stopped using the Fear skill, and the dreadful aura that engulfed the surroundings disappeared.

Lavel was already on his knees, but when Evan stopped using the Fear skill, he couldn't take it anymore and dropped face-first to the ground while panting heavily. His face was pale white from fear, and his aura was in complete disarray, indicating his soul was damaged.

'I used around seventy percent of my spiritual power in these thirty seconds...' Evan thought inwardly, but he was very satisfied with the result.

Normally, in order to take down a Peak Rank Three Core Evolver, he would have to fight a tough battle or use his authorities.

Now that he took care of a Peak Rank Three Core Evolver just by using seventy percent of his spiritual power, he was very satisfied with it.

"And this is just one of the abilities of the Halberd of Destruction..." Evan muttered in a low voice, thinking about the information he received when Elora woke up a few days ago.

When he received information about how the Halberd of Destruction he was carrying was a replica created by one of the abilities of the Halberd, he also received information about the skills that he could use while wielding the Halberd... And among them, the ability that he used to strengthen his spiritual skill was just one of the common skills.

'With my current power, I can barely use one or two skills of the Halberd. If I try to use more, the destructive force of the Halberd will definitely harm my body and soul...' Evan said to himself and walked towards the five elves who had collapsed to the ground.

'Should I kill them?' He thought while rubbing his chin, but he felt killing them would only invite trouble for him.

'I am sure they came here because of the Life Water. If I kill them now, the elves will immediately be notified that something happened to them, and it might invite some unexpected trouble.'

If it were a normal time, he wouldn't even bat an eye before killing these guys, but now that they were very close to executing their plan in the Magmara Kingdom, he didn't want to do anything that might affect it.

He doesn't want to kill them, but at the same time, he can't let them go either.

'Although I have changed my appearance, I still can't let them go since they will definitely report what happened here to their higher-ups, and I don't want any unwanted problems,' Evan said inwardly with a pondering look on his face.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.

"Right, I can do that..." He said and a cold smile appeared on his face. "By doing this, I can even use these guys to create more trouble for the Gehenna Empire."

Evan used the second effect of the Growth Link skill and took one of Gobu's skills, Mind Intrusion.

---) Mind Intrusion: Using this skill, you can delve into the minds of others, extracting memories or implanting false thoughts. The skill won't work if the target is two levels above you.

Mind Intrusion was a skill he had used long ago in Arora World to control one of the people of the Dark Guild for his own use. (I think it was in chap— 506)

He had implanted false thoughts into that guy's mind, turning him into his servant, and now he was planning to do the same for the elves.

Normally, it would have been very difficult for him to affect Lavel since he was a Peak Rank Three Core Evolver, but currently, his soul was badly damaged, so it wasn't difficult for him to affect his mind.

Moreover, Mind Intrusion is a skill that depends on the level of spiritual power since it affects a person's mind.

Evan's own spiritual power was already slightly higher than that of a normal mid-level Rank Three Core Evolver, so even the restriction of the skill that he couldn't use it against someone who is more than two levels higher than him was useless since Lavel's spiritual power was at the peak of Rank Three, just one level above him.

Lavel and the two Rank Two elves were already out of strength because of the effect of the Fear skill, while the two Rank One Core Evolvers were unconscious, so it was very easy for him to use the Mind Intrusion skill on them.

In just five minutes, he implanted false thoughts into their minds.

After implanting the false thoughts, he summoned Elysia and asked her to heal them a bit.

Under Elysia's healing, other than Lavel, whose soul was damaged, the other four elves returned to normal in just a few minutes. Once they were healed, all five of them kneeled in front of him without saying anything.

"Go back to the Magmara Kingdom for now..." Evan said to Lavel and the others with a smile on his face. "I will contact you guys in a few days."

Hearing Evan, Lavel and the others didn't say anything and immediately left the Black Mountain Range, heading back to the Magmara Kingdom.
