Necromancer Of The Shadows-Chapter 983 Leaving The Tower (Part 7)

"So my guess was correct, huh."

Evan suddenly heard a voice and his expression changed.

"Azroth?"

He said in an uncertain voice and looked around him. As he looked around, he suddenly felt something, and Azroth's projection came out of his body, standing beside him.

"This—" Evan was stunned upon seeing Azroth and tried to ask him what was going on, but before he could.

"I left behind a small part of my energy earlier when my soul strand disappeared..." Azroth interrupted him mid way and said in a serious voice. "It won't last long, so listen carefully."

It was the first time Evan had seen Azroth showing such a serious expression, so although he had many questions, he did not ask anything and listened to him carefully.

"From that cheap soul inside your body, you already know this is a sealing place, right?"

'Cheap soul?' Evan was confused when he heard Azroth, but he soon remembered Octavius, who had told him that the Tomb was a sealing ground, so he nodded his head.

Seeing Evan nod his head, Azroth looked towards the halberd that was plunged in the middle of the altar with tens of runes engraved around it and asked in a serious voice, "Although you know this place is a sealing place, do you know what is sealed here?"

Hearing Azroth, Evan thought for a second and after a moment said in an uncertain voice, "Eldritch Creatures?"

Azroth nodded and then shook his head hearing Evan. "You are not wrong, but not right either."

Evan frowned when he heard Azroth and asked in a confused voice, "What do you mean?"

Azroth looked at the place where the halberd was plunged and said with narrowed eyes, "The thing that is sealed here is not Eldritch Creatures, but a passage that leads to the true source of Eldritch Energy."

"A passage..." Evan raised an eyebrow, seeing Azroth's serious expression and asked in an uncertain voice, "What is this true Eldritch Energy Source you spoke of?"

Azroth shook his head hearing Evan. "You don't need to know what the true Eldritch Energy Source is. This is something that you will eventually know when you break the soul seals placed on your soul. The reason I left behind this energy strand is to tell you about the importance of this Halbred. The Halberd of Destruction is the core of this sealing formation, so you should give up on taking it with you."

"Impossible..." Evan immediately shook his head upon hearing Azroth and said in a cold voice, "It really doesn't matter to me what this true Eldritch Energy Source is, but I promised Elora to take her with me and I won't give up on that."

"She is just a weapon spirit. Do you want to destroy this sealing formation just to take her with you? Although I can't tell you everything, I can say that if you destroy this sealing formation, Utopia will be flooded with Eldritch Creatures."

Evan's expression didn't change upon hearing Azroth and he said in a clear voice, "She is not just a weapon spirit. She is my daughter and I won't let her become a tool of some bullshit sealing formation..." Evan paused after saying this and continued after a moment, "And it doesn't matter if the formation is shattered and Utopia is flooded by Eldritch Creatures. The world is already full of shit, so it wouldn't matter if I dump a little more into it."

Azroth looked at Evan, who had clear eyes, and asked after a moment, "Just a moment ago, you were feeling a sense of loss after finding out she is not a real living being but a weapon spirit, but now you are ready to cause chaos in Utopia for her?"

Evan's expression didn't change upon hearing Azroth and he nodded his head.

"You are right. I was indeed shocked after finding out she was not a real living being but a weapon spirit. Actually, anyone in my shoes would have been shocked... but if you think about it carefully, does it really matter what she is? She acts like a normal kid and on top of that, instead of blood like normal children, she is connected with me by soul. So, the fact that she is a weapon spirit instead of a real living being does not make any difference to me, and since I said I would bring her with me, I am going to do it. I will not leave her here alone like you did."

Azroth looked at Evan's determined expression and his serious demeanour eased a bit.

A small, impenetrable smile appeared on his face and he said softly, "Since you want to take her out, let me help you."

Evan was stunned when he heard Azroth and looked at him with a blank expression. 'Wasn't this bastard just stopping me from taking her away from here by saying it would cause chaos in Utopia?'

Azroth ignored the blank stare Evan was giving him and spoke in a deep voice.

"Your connection with the Halberd of Destruction is weakening with each passing second because it has been away from you for thousands of years and hasn't received your soul energy. On top of that, its spirit was damaged by the void goblin and that cheap demon monarch. Although that kind of damage wouldn't have done anything to its spirit if it was in top condition, but since it didn't receive your soul energy for a long time, the damage caused by those two consumed almost all of its remaining energy, forcing its spirit to fall into a deep slumber."

Evan frowned when he heard Azroth and asked in a confused voice, "So do I need to feed it my soul energy?"

Azroth shook his head and pointed at the halberd. "It already consumed all of your spiritual energy, so you do not need to do that for now."

Hearing this, Evan remembered the moment he touched Elora's head earlier, all of his spiritual energy was absorbed by her, but upon remembering it, this fact only made him more confused. "Since she already absorbed my spiritual energy, then why is my connection still weakening with her each passing second."

"It's because the sealing formation is continually absorbing her energy."

Evan's face darkened at Azroth's words and he looked at the runes around the halberd with narrowed eyes. "So my connection with Elora will be restored if I destroy this formation, right?"

Azroth looked at Evan from the corner of his eye and shook his head.

"Let me handle this," He said and walked in front of the Halberd of Destruction that was plunged deep within the altar.

As he approached the altar, Azroth suddenly stopped as if he remembered something. He looked back at Evan and said something that deeply shocked him.

"By the way, Elora is not a real weapon spirit. She is someone I kidnapped long ago and turned into a weapon spirit."

Evan's mind went blank when he heard Azroth and he looked at him without saying anything. After a few seconds, he finally came back to his senses and shouted in a voice filled with disbelief.

"You did what?"
