Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 986  Your Puny Emperor Is Dead (Part 1)

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! - - - - - -

"Damn, just how many creatures are there?" Baphomet shouted in frustration as he killed Eldritch Creatures one after another, their roars echoing madly around him. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The black void space around him was filled with tens of thousands of dead bodies, and as the bodies of Eldritch Creatures piled up, the concentration of Eldritch Energy in the void increased with each passing second.

Although the current amount of Eldritch Energy was nothing to Baphomet, a Peak Rank Six Core Evolver, he was still a little worried because he didn't know how many days he would have to stay in the void space before Eldrakar could find traces of the passage leading to Utopia.

He feared that if they had to remain in this void space for an extended period, it would become very difficult due to the rapidly increasing concentration of Eldritch Energy.

ROAR!

Suddenly, Baphomet heard a loud roar and felt the aura of a mid-level Rank Five Eldritch Creature approaching him.

"Another rank five creature. Just how many are there?" Baphomet grumbled when he sensed the creature's aura. He punched in front of him with full power, sending a wave of demonic energy to clear out the Eldritch Creatures in his path.

As the Eldritch Creatures came into contact with the Demonic Energy, they instantly exploded, and their Eldritch Energy got mixed with the energy filling the void, increasing its density even more.

After killing the Eldritch Creatures in front of him, Baphomet looked back and saw the Rank five Eldritch Creature rushing towards him.

The creature had a three-meter-tall, thin humanoid body, four dark brown eyes on its face, a potbelly, and two arms bulging with muscles, contrasting its thin body.

As Baphomet looked at the creature, he narrowed his eyes. He wasn't afraid of a Rank Five creature since he could kill it easily, but he was surprised to feel that this Eldritch Creature was absorbing the Eldritch Energy from the surrounding void space, slowly increasing its aura and becoming stronger by absorbing the energy released by other Eldritch Creatures upon their deaths.

Initially, Baphomet wanted to kill it immediately to prevent it from becoming a future threat after absorbing all the energy in the void. However, after a moment of consideration, he decided to let the creature absorb the Eldritch Energy.

Although the current Eldritch Energy level in the void was not alarming, it would definitely pose a problem in the future.

By letting this creature absorb the Eldritch Energy, Baphomet thought he could solve this problem. Even if the Eldritch Creature's level increased after absorbing the energy, he wasn't concerned as he could handle it even if the creature became a Rank Six monster.

As Baphomet contemplated letting the Eldritch Creature absorb more energy, a strange energy, or more precisely, the power of laws suddenly enveloped the void space.

Baphomet's face changed when he felt the power of the laws covering the void space, and he looked around in confusion, wondering what was happening.

As he scanned the area, he noticed the void space was shrinking, replaced by a black energy that seemed capable of engulfing everything.

"What's this energy, and why can I feel a strong power of law in it?" Baphomet muttered with a serious look on his face as a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

While Baphomet was observing the black power engulfing the void, a bright purple light flashed beside him, and Eldrakar appeared with a grave look on his face.

Seeing Eldrakar's grave expression, Baphomet quickly asked if he knew what the black power engulfing the void was.

"The power of Nihility," Eldrakar said in a serious voice. "This void space was formed due to the Tomb of the Ancient, but now that the space of the Tomb has collapsed, the void space that was formed due to the Tomb can't sustain itself and is returning to Nihility, or in other words, Nothingness."

Baphomet was stunned when he heard Eldrakar, and he used his spiritual senses to scan the black power that was rapidly covering the void.

But to his shock, the moment his spiritual power touched the black energy, it disappeared from existence as if it had never existed.

"Damn," Baphomet cursed, feeling a stinging sensation in his soul when his spiritual power was devoured by the power of Nihility, causing a mild headache.

At the same time, the soul injury he had sustained because of Azroth resurfaced and he couldn't suppress it.

Although Baphomet wanted to curse Azroth's seven generations for inflicting such a strange injury to his soul, he knew this wasn't the time so he ignored the pain coming from his soul and looked at Eldrakar.

"What should we do next?" He asked knowing that the black energy was not normal.

As the void shrinked and the bodies of the Eldritch Creatures came into contact with the power of Nihility, the dead bodies that filled the void immediately disappeared indicating that even the Eldritch Energy was no match against the power of Nihility.

"I do not have any good solution. Once the power of Nihility engulfs the entire void, it will be impossible for us to find any traces of the passage that leads to Utopia," Eldrakar said while shaking his head and tried to think of a solution that could save them.

As he pondered, Eldrakar suddenly remembered the half-golden and half-black pillar of light he had seen inside the Tomb.

He recalled that when he had looked at the pillar using his Void Vision skill, he had noticed that the pillar of light was present even inside the void.

'Maybe we can survive if we go to the void space where I saw that pillar,' Eldrakar thought and immediately told Baphomet about it.

Upon hearing Eldrakar, Baphomet immediately agreed as he knew they had no other choice. After deciding to go there, they wasted no time and quickly moved in the direction where Eldrakar had seen the pillar of light.
