Chapter 1108 Eldritch Horrors

Chapter 1108  Eldritch Horrors

In the Azragoth World, there is only a single empire named Eldranthia, ruled by Emperor Velgoth.

The Eldranthia Empire controls over seventy percent of the Azragoth World, while the remaining thirty percent is occupied by the Eldritch Horrors.

Compared to the Eldritch Creatures who live in the Eldranthia Empire, these Eldritch Horrors are mindless creatures whose only instincts are to slaughter and cause chaos.

Even though Emperor Velgoth has significant control over the Azragoth World, even he can't do anything about the Eldritch Horrors because they are like parasites that come into existence due to the nature of Eldritch Energy.

Azragoth World is a place full of Eldritch Creatures, so it is impossible for this place to not have Eldritch Energy... And as long as there is a large amount of Eldritch Energy, some Eldritch Horrors will naturally be born there.

The reason Evan didn't find traces of Eldritch Energy in the Azragoth World, despite it being inhabited by millions of Eldritch Creatures is because of the efforts of Emperor Velgoth.

In order to avoid needless conflict with the Eldritch Horrors who know nothing other than causing chaos, Emperor Velgoth used his control over the Azragoth World to push all the Eldritch Energy far away from the area controlled by the Empire.

The area currently filled with Eldritch Energy is the thirty percent of the world occupied by the Eldritch Horrors.

Although this method decreased the probability of Eldritch Horrors attacking the territory controlled by the Eldranthia Empire—as Eldritch Horrors instinctively avoid areas with low concentrations of Eldritch Energy—this method also increased the number of Eldritch Horrors in Azragoth World.

Previously, the Eldritch Energy was spread throughout the Azragoth World so the number of Eldritch Horrors who could be born were limited, but because Emperor Velgoth used his power to force all the Eldritch Energy into a smaller part of the world, the concentration of Eldritch Energy in that area increased to a very high level, giving birth to more Eldritch Horrors.

Currently, the number of Eldritch Horrors in the Azragoth World is just slightly lower than the number of Eldritch Creatures living in the entire Eldranthia Empire.

If it weren't for the fact that Eldritch Horrors are mindless creatures that don't like to leave areas filled with Eldritch Energy, a large-scale conflict would have broken out between the Eldranthia Empire and the Eldritch Horrors long ago.

Although Eldritch Horrors doesn't like to leave areas filled with Eldritch Energy, it doesn't mean there are no conflicts between the two parties. After all, there are always some beings that deviate from the norm—and the same goes for the Eldritch Horrors.

As the number of Eldritch Horrors continues to increase due to the high density of Eldritch Energy, many Eldritch Horrors occasionally leave the area filled with Eldritch Energy and enter the territory controlled by the Empire.

Previously, there weren't many Eldritch Horrors who left the area filled with Eldritch Energy, but as their numbers have grown, more and more Eldritch Horrors are leaving that area and entering the Empire's territory.

The conflict between the two sides is increasing day by day, and the situation in the Empire is quite tense, forcing most of the Empire's army to be stationed on the borders to deal with the Eldritch Horrors.

At the southern border of the Empire, a nearly four-meter-tall man with metallic grey skin, a handsome, human-like face, and a lower body similar to that of a horse looked at the kneeling Eldritch Creature in front of him with narrowed eyes.

"Are you sure it's an invader from the Lost World?" Nythor, the third general under the command of Emperor Velgoth asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, Lord Nythor. Lord Ultharic asked me to deliver the message to you and instructed that you head to the capital as soon as possible," The kneeling creature spoke in a respectful tone.

Hearing the creature, Nythor gazed at the distant horizon, where Eldritch Energy was churning like a vast sea and his brow furrowed.

'That King-level Eldritch Horror can take action at any time. If I leave at this time...' Nythor thought inwardly and after a moment of silence, he nodded and stood up.

"Has Ultharic prepared everything? I can't stay away from the borders for long."

"Yes, Lord Nythor. Lord Ultharic has already made all the necessary preparations, and the first five legions are ready to depart at any time. Additionally, to assess the enemy's capabilities, Lord Ultharic dispatched the sixth legion in advance. They should be about to reach the enemy's location."

"Even after the invader killed Xael'Tor, he still sent just a single legi—" Nythor frowned upon hearing that Ultharic had sent only one legion to confront the enemy in advance, but midway through speaking, he suddenly realized something and stopped.

'I see, he wants to use them to gauge the limits of that invader...' Nythor thought to himself and shook his head.

After learning that the invader could sever their connection with the world and erase the World Blessing that allowed them to revive, it was natural that they wanted to test Evan's abilities before confronting him directly.

Using the teleportation formation, Nythor immediately returned to the capital and soon found Ultharic, the bull-headed general, who was intently observing two floating water bubbles in front of him.

On one of the bubbles, Nythor saw hundreds of thousands of Eldritch Creatures standing outside a grey forest with serious expressions, and on the second bubble, he saw a man with shoulder-length black hair tied in a ponytail and sharp, long ears, sitting in a cave with eight strange black monsters and a small red-haired girl.

"Is he the one?" Nythor asked in a cold voice as he looked at Evan.

"Hmmm," Ultharic nodded upon hearing Nythor, his attention still on the two bubbles.

Suddenly, they saw Evan saying something to the black monsters, but for some reason, they couldn't hear him even though the bubbles in front of them usually allowed them to listen in.

As Evan finished speaking, the cave he was in suddenly turned completely dark and Ultharic and Nythor couldn't see anything.

A few seconds later, the cave returned to normal, but they noticed that one of the black monsters that had been in the cave had disappeared.
