Chapter 1201  True Terror Of The Death Ring (Part 2)

Evan looked at the blood mist and the collapsed sky with a deep look on his face before shifting his attention to Groola's body parts, which were falling from the sky.

Normally, even with his current stat points, it would have been impossible for him to kill Groola, who was at the peak of Rank Five with just a single blow.

The body of a Rank Five Core Evolver is nourished by the power of laws, making it extremely difficult to kill them due to their tenacious vitality. Even if their hearts and brains are destroyed, they wouldn't die easily, and with sufficient energy, they could recover without much issue.

The reason Groola died after just one blow was due to the Critical Hit effect of the Master of Shadows Authority.

The Master of Shadows Authority is a type of authority that manipulates causality. During its activation period, if the Critical Hit is triggered, the user's attack will automatically elevated to a level that will cause devastating damage to the target.

For example, even if Evan had been a Rank One Core Evolver and attacked Groola under the effect of Master of Shadows Authority, and successfully triggered the Critical Hit, his attack would have been automatically magnified in power to the point where it would severely injure Groola.

The Master of Shadows Authority completely nullifies all skill restrictions caused by differences in rank between Core Evolvers, meaning even an F-rank hunter can severely injure a Rank Six Core Evolver under this authority.

However, an F-rank hunter will never be able to get close to a Rank Six Core Evolver to deliver a blow.

"No matter what, all the authorities I have received so far are completely broken," Evan muttered in a low voice, gazing at the collapsed sky.

Due to his earlier attack, the entire sky within millions of kilometres had collapsed, and through his connection with the World Core, he could vaguely sense that the whole of Azragoth World was being invaded by chaotic energy and was starting to disintegrate.

The Azragoth World was located in the Chaotic Zone, one of the most dangerous regions of the Origin Universe, and now that the world's space barrier had collapsed, the chaotic energy was wreaking havoc inside.

"I still need to assimilate the World Core of Azragoth World with my Primordial Shadows Realm, so I can't let it be destroyed like this..." Evan said with narrowed eyes as he attempted to urge the World Core to absorb Groola's body and convert it into pure essence that he could use to halt the world's destruction.

However, he soon discovered that the World Core couldn't absorb Groola's body, mainly because Groola wasn't a creature native to Azragoth World. Only the creatures originating from Azragoth World could be absorbed by the World Core.

"Damn it... I thought after killing these people from the Origin Universe, I'd be able to harvest a good amount of pure essence and might even reach the peak of Rank Three, possibly even the beginner level of Rank Four, but now..." Evan cursed quietly, shifting his attention downward toward Florita, who had created a cage-like structure that trapped Krythorion and Zalga.

The cage was silver and transparent, with hundreds of strange runes that resembled some kind of contract flashing on its surface. Even though Evan had killed Groola, he noticed that Florita and the others were still battling inside, seemingly unaware of what had transpired outside.

"I asked her to stop these two Rank Six Core Evolvers and prevent them from moving freely, but I didn't expect her to have this kind of skill..." Evan muttered with a surprised look on his face as he descended from the sky.

Inside the cage, Florita was fighting Krythorion and Zalga on her own, and due to the nature of the cage, Evan couldn't sense the aftereffects of their battle.

Although he couldn't feel the battle's intensity, the serious expressions on Krythorion and Zalga's faces told him it wasn't easy for them to face Florita.

However, Florita wasn't having an easy time either. Even though she was holding her own, she was far from being able to kill them, and she knew she had only around four minutes and a few seconds left before she would be forced to return.

Evan wasn't surprised by this situation, knowing that not everyone was as abnormal as him or Anastasia, who can kill people of the same rank without much effort.

'I hope this trick will work, or I'll have to escape while Florita holds them back...' Evan thought, glancing at Velgoth, who was still in shock over Groola's sudden death.

Feeling Evan's gaze, Velgoth snapped out of his daze and quickly took action. A burst of silver light erupted from his body, and within seconds, thousands of Eldritch Horrors appeared near the cage where Florita and the others were fighting.

After killing the Rank Five Eldritch Horror, Evan captured a few thousand low-level Eldritch Horrors and told Velgoth to keep them in his Chaotic World, as they were an essential part of his plan.

The moment the thousands of Eldritch Horrors materialized, a dark, deathly aura erupted from Evan's body, and he activated the Death Ring skill.

---) Death Ring (Unique Skill): When activated, a swirling black ring filled with the essence of death begins to rotate around you. All enemies within the bounds of the Death Ring are burned to fuel its power further. While inside the Death Ring, all enemies who are the same rank as you or two ranks lower than you will lose 5% of their maximum health each second. Enemies who are three or more ranks below you will lose 30% of their maximum health per second. Meanwhile, all enemies who are of a higher rank than you will lose 3% of their maximum health every second after entering the Death Ring. The Death Ring will not affect enemies who are three ranks higher than you. The power of all your shadow undeads increases by 1% for every 500 enemies that die within the Death Ring, with a maximum boost of 100%. The starting range of the Death Ring is sixty kilometres, and for every 1,000 enemies that die within the Death Ring, its range increases by one kilometre. The maximum range that the Death Ring can reach is eight hundred kilometres.

"Let's see if they can face Florita once her power is increased by another 100%..." Evan muttered in a low voice and released some of his shadow undeads, ordering them to kill the Eldritch Horrors that Velgoth released.
