Necromancer Of The Shadows-Chapter 1182 Rank Five Eldritch Horror (Part 1)

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Nythor and the other Eldritch Creatures completed all the preparations to head to the Gravenheart Bastion.

When Emperor Velgoth received the news, he made his way to the underground room where Evan was.

"I hope he hasn't shamelessly devoured all the items..." He muttered to himself as the two giant doors came into view.

As Velgoth neared the room, a strong medicinal scent of herbs hit his nostrils, making him frown deeply.

"Is he creating some kind of potion or something?" Velgoth raised an eyebrow and peeked inside the room.

When he looked inside, he saw Evan examining a small glass bottle of potion filled with dark blue liquid.

"Not bad, not bad... Although this old man just sleeps all day without doing anything, I can still trust him when it comes to alchemy," He heard Evan mutter, watching him put away the potion into his shadow.

"The only bad thing about him is the cost of creating the potions and other things. Even though it's just a low-level Rank Three potion, he still used almost 500 million high-level essence stones so he could make it in two hours."

Evan rubbed his eyebrows, feeling distressed because he had used up almost all of his essence stones.

"Velgoth mentioned that he had a lot of essence stones, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to give me a few billion or trillion, right?" He muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

When Velgoth, still peeking from behind the door heard the words "a few billion or trillion essence stones," his heart skipped a beat, and he nearly fell to the ground.

'This motherfu—!' Velgoth cursed Evan in his heart. 'Does he think I am his cash cow or something?'

Evan turned around to go find Velgoth and ask him for some pocket money, but as he turned, his eyes met with Velgoth's deadpan stare, half of his face still hidden behind the door.

Seeing Velgoth's expression, Evan didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he smiled and pointed to the items still left in the room.

"See? I did what you told me, and only took a few of the items that were useful to me."

Velgoth entered the room and took a deep breath to calm down. He looked around and saw that almost half the items in the room were missing.

'After taking nearly half the items, he still has the nerve to say he did what I told him...' Velgoth held back the urge to fight Evan and took another deep breath.

"What was the potion you made earlier?" He asked, changing the subject before the thought of missing items drove him to madness.

"It's just a buff potion, nothing special," Evan replied in a nonchalant manner, not elaborating on the effect of the potion. "Is everything ready?"

Hearing Evan's response, Velgoth stared at him for a few seconds before nodding his head.

"We can leave anytime."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go kill that bastard!" Evan said energetically and rushed out of the room.

Velgoth looked at Evan with a speechless expression, mentally complaining, 'You are acting as if you are going to be the one fighting that thing.'

As Velgoth followed after Evan, he glanced back at the room, which was already half empty and after thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and stored everything remaining in the room inside his storage ring.

'Better to be cautious. That guy is going to leave his clone here. What if once we leave, he sends his clone here to plunder everything?' Velgoth thought, feeling satisfied with his foresight.

Evan, who was walking ahead, noticed Velgoth's actions and a look of regret flashed in his eyes.

'This guy isn't as dumb as I thought...' He muttered to himself as they left the underground area of the castle. 'Well, stealing all the valuables from the castle using my clone was my second objective. As long as it completes its first objective, it doesn't matter even if I can't steal those things.'

Leaving the underground area, Velgoth brought Evan outside the castle to the large open area where they had appeared earlier upon using the teleportation formation.

When Evan arrived, he saw that in addition to the ninety thousand Eldritch Creatures who had been there previously, there were now around sixty thousand more, bringing the total number of Eldritch Creatures to nearly one hundred fifty thousand.

Among the army, he spotted Nythor, Utharic, and Morvael standing at the front, their expressions stern.

It was clear from their serious faces that they did not take the mission to Gravenheart Bastion lightly.

When Morvael saw Velgoth approaching with Evan, he immediately turned toward the Eldritch Creatures behind him and shouted sternly.

"Stand in proper formation!"

Upon hearing Morvael's voice, the Eldritch Creatures, who had been chatting restlessly among themselves immediately fell silent and obediently stood in formation.

Velgoth nodded his head upon seeing this and stepped into the formation alongside Evan.

Once in position, he didn't delay and immediately activated the formation.

As the formation activated, a bright silver light flashed, and all the Eldritch Creatures, including Evan, disappeared from sight.

In the western part of Azragoth World, in the heart of a gigantic fortress known as Gravenheart Bastion, a bright silver light flashed as Evan and the other Eldritch Creatures materialized.

Due to Emperor Velgoth's order a few days prior, all the Eldritch Creatures stationed at Gravenheart Bastion had already evacuated. So, when they arrived, the fortress—spanning thousands of kilometres—was completely deserted.

Even though no one was present in the fortress, Evan could still feel a dreadful aura covering the entire fortress. Feeling the dreadful aura, he left the Eldritch Creatures behind him, took a step forward and instantly appeared on top of the fortress wall.

Appearing at the top of the fortress, Evan looked out and saw the same barrier that had previously stopped him from entering the Eldranthia Empire, now covering the entire fortress... And outside the barrier, a massive creature, releasing the aura of a Rank Five Eldritch Horror was attacking it.
