Necromancer of The Shadows

Zorda looked at Elysia, who was squatting on the ground while covering the bumps on her head. Two crystalline tears floated down from the corner of her eyes, and she had a pitiful look on her face.

'Finally... She finally got what she deserves...' Zorda thought while laughing in his heart, and the faint sobbing sounds that Elysia made sounded like a sweet melody to his ears.

"Stop crying," Evan said in a cold voice.

Hearing Evan's cold voice, Elysia began to cry even louder.

Bang!

Evan didn't show any mercy when he saw her crying and bonked her once again, making another bump appear on top of her head.

Elysia curled up like a frightened chicken, covering her head with both hands and looking at Evan with a face full of resentment.

"What? Do you want another one?" Evan asked while showing his clenched fist.

Seeing Evan's fist, Elysia immediately shook her head and backed away, looking at him warily.

"When did all this start?" He asked, rubbing his temples.

"Around one month ago," Zorda answered in a flattering voice, afraid that he would also receive the same treatment as Elysia.

Evan's mouth twitched when he heard Zorda's flattering tone, and he wanted to beat him as well, but considering this poor guy wasn't at fault, he refrained from doing so.

'This small thing turned the entire planet into an ice ball in just one month, huh...' Evan muttered inwardly, sighing once again as his gaze fell on the ice cocoon before him.

According to what Zorda told him, he had been away from Earth for almost half a year. Although Evan knew that time flowed differently on Earth, he didn't expect it to be the same during his time in Azragoth World.

He didn't blame Elysia for summoning the phantom of the Tree of Life because, after hearing everything, he also knew that if she hadn't done so and reinforced the Earth, the planet might have been destroyed long ago due to the battles between high-level core evolvers coming through the portals opened by Winterclaw.

The reason he punished Elysia was that she was becoming increasingly mischievous. Just a moment ago, she had sneak-attacked Zorda and sent him flying like a rocket. Not only that but before Evan arrived, she had threatened Zorda, forcing him to take all the blame for what had happened on Earth.

"Although I knew she just wanted to evolve Valery's core, still..." Evan muttered inwardly, his hands itching just thinking about the current situation.

He walked toward the ice cocoon in front of him and touched it. The moment his hand made contact with the cocoon, a biting cold invaded his body, and he immediately pulled back his hand.

"What was her condition before she was frozen inside?" Evan turned and asked Elysia.

"I examined her carefully, and it seemed like her core was missing something essential for its evolution, which led to this incomplete transformation," Elysia replied in a low voice.

Evan frowned when he heard Elysia's words, his gaze returning to the ice cocoon.

'Missing something essential...' He muttered inwardly and recalled that Valery had mentioned receiving notifications in Arora World, telling her to acquire the source of ice monarch if she wanted to evolve her core into a Monarch Core.

'Maybe I am right, and this all happened because she is missing this so-called source of ice monarch, but...' He gazed at the ice cocoon, narrowing his eyes. 'Why does this cocoon look so familiar?'

Evan racked his brain at full speed, and after a moment, he finally understood why it seemed familiar.

"When I unlocked my first soul seal in the Arora World after my soul was seriously damaged, I was also covered in a black cocoon similar to this one," Evan muttered in a shocked voice, feeling a rising unease.

He still remembered that after emerging from the cocoon, he had unlocked many abilities, including his partial bloodline, some memories, Realm Glyphs, and other powers.

If Valery is undergoing a similar transformation and if his guess is correct and she is related to the Primordial Loli, she might unlock similar abilities as well. If that were the case, it could either be a blessing or a disaster.

It wouldn't be a problem if she unlocked powerful things related to the Primordial Loli, and her personality remained unchanged. But if the Primordial Loli took control of her, Evan feared that she would attack him the moment she awoke.

"Fu*k my life, I just can't catch a break..." Evan cursed with a depressed look on his face, glancing at Elysia, who stood some distance away.

Although he knew she was simply trying to increase the overall strength of Earth and had no intention of causing this disaster, he couldn't help but feel the urge to give her another beating to vent his frustration.

He took some breaths to calm down and after a moment, shifted his gaze back to the ice cocoon.

"Let's sort out this mess before thinking about what to do next..." He muttered and walked just a meter away from the cocoon.

The extreme cold energy emitting from the ice cocoon was gradually increasing, and if he didn't stop it, he was certain that even with the protection of the Tree of Life, the normal humans on Earth wouldn't survive for long.

"I can try to break the cocoon and forcefully wake up Valery, but doing so might cause irreversible damage to her..." He said to himself as strange markings appeared all over his body. "For now, let's just seal this area with the Rune of Sealing, and I'll figure out another solution later."

As Evan began carving the Rune of Sealing, his spiritual power diminished rapidly. He slowly etched the first seven patterns of the Rune of Sealing into the air, each stroke consuming more energy.

With the first seven patterns, the rune reached the same level as the one he had used to seal Velgoth's powers.

Due to reaching mid-level Rank Three, Evan still had some spiritual power left, even after completing seven patterns of the Rune of Sealing.

Sensing the rune's power, Evan felt it would be enough to stop the icy energy from spreading, so he didn't waste more power engraving additional strokes. Instead, he directed the rune over the ice cocoon.

The moment the Rune of Sealing touched the ice cocoon, a powerful sealing force burst forth in all directions, and the icy energy that had been spreading rapidly across the Earth immediately stopped.

Evan wiped the frozen sweat from his forehead and using his spiritual senses, he confirmed that the cold energy across the Earth was slowly receding and that, in a few days, the planet should return to normal.

"Now, before this time bomb explodes, I need to find that black figure and get my answers..." Evan muttered in a low voice, his gaze lifting to the gradually clearing sky.
