Chapter 1278 True Form (Part 2)
(Your luck has been reduced by 1%.)
Evan stared at the notification in front of him with narrowed eyes. At the same time, the indescribable pressure continued to weigh down on him, refusing to dissipate even after his luck was reduced.
For a moment, Evan felt as though it was difficult to breathe. He glanced at Anastasia and the others and noticed that their expressions remained normal as they continued to focus on Carla. It was as if he was the only one experiencing the oppressive force; no one else seemed to notice it—not even Anastasia.
Taking a deep breath, Evan flexed and clenched his hands repeatedly, trying to regain control over his body, which had gone stiff under immense pressure.
Activating his spiritual senses, he scanned the training room, searching for the source of the strange phenomenon. However, his search yielded no results—nothing in the room seemed out of place.
Frowning, Evan slowly raised his head, which felt like it was weighed down by invisible chains, and directed his gaze toward the ceiling.
His eyes gleamed with void energy, and his vision pierced through the void, revealing the sky outside... And the moment he saw the sky outside, his eyes trembled.
'What the hell is that thing...' Evan shouted inwardly, looking at the sky.
Suspended above the entire closed world of Drayds was the vague silhouette of a massive eye, encompassing the sky like an oppressive dome.
Evan noticed that several Drayds walking outside the training room glanced casually at the sky, yet their expressions remained unchanged. It was as though they couldn't see the massive eye, its presence invisible to them.
'This eye...' Evan frowned deeply as he stared at it. There was something disturbingly familiar about both the eye's appearance and the pressure it exerted.
The oppressive aura gnawing at his soul felt like something he had encountered before.
Relying on his extraordinary spiritual power, it didn't take Evan long to recall where he had seen such an eye.
'It was in the memory Elora showed me when I first learned she was a weapon spirit,' Evan thought, his mind replaying the scene of the massive purple eye that had been destroyed by Azroth using the Halberd of Destruction. (Chap—981)
In that memory, Azroth had been battling against four immensely powerful beings when a colossal eye appeared, spanning the entire universe in an attempt to stop him. But in a single devastating strike, Azroth obliterated it.
'This eye looks strikingly similar to that one,' Evan thought. Yet, before he could analyze further, the pressure weighing down on him intensified. It felt as though the eye in the sky was now looking directly at him.
Unable to endure the force any longer, Evan ceased using his void energy and his vision snapped back to the confines of the training room, but the crushing pressure didn't abate.
Feeling the pressure, Evan considered asking Anastasia for help. But before he could, his soul suddenly shook violently and an overwhelming aura of destruction erupted from within him, leaving him stunned.
'Elora...' Evan thought, recognizing the destructive aura as it surged from his soul. In an instant, the oppressive force weighing on him was obliterated by the destructive aura of the Halberd.
The destruction aura released by Elora wasn't confined to Evan's body—it swept through the training room, shocking Sylvan and the others, who looked at Evan in bewilderment, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
Just as they were about to ask him what he was doing—
Swish!
A black and golden light flashed above Evan's head, and Elora appeared, her expression filled with hostility as she glared toward the sky.
The power of destruction within her surged uncontrollably, radiating from her in terrifying waves, and above her head, a vague vision began to materialize.
In the vision, a colossal monstrous beast hovered, its true form obscured, yet its presence exuded raw terror. The beast stood atop a mountain of corpses, its roar echoing across a deep red sky. The surrounding world was drenched in endless blood, and behind the beast's head floated a black hole-like structure, emitting a devouring force that consumed the blood and corpses around it.
"What... is this?" Evan and the others were stunned as they gazed at the vision above Elora's head.
Even though it wasn't real, the sheer presence of the beast left them all, including the rank six core evolvers such as—Sylvan, Anastasia and Alaric shocked.
"What's going on?" Anastasia asked, quickly approaching Evan with a serious expression. Her eyes remained locked on Elora, who was still glaring upward, brimming with hostility.
"I…" Evan hesitated, unsure of how to respond. Like the others, he was utterly baffled as It was the first time he had ever seen the strange beast depicted in the vision above Elora.
Anastasia followed Elora's gaze, her vision piercing the ceiling to examine the sky. Yet, like the others, she couldn't see the massive eye covering the sky.
"What is she looking at?" Anastasia muttered, her confusion growing.
Evan took a deep breath and reached out to grab Elora. Through his connection with her, he could sense her emotions spiralling out of control.
The power of destruction within her was escalating at a frightening rate—a dangerous development given that the true Halberd of Destruction was still sealed within the Tomb of the Ancient.
If her destructive energy grew too intense, it might shatter the fake vessel of the Halberd of Destruction that Evan was using. If that happened, Elora would be forced to return to the Tomb of the Ancient, where the real Halberd was located.
"Calm down, sweetie," Evan said gently, patting Elora's head in an attempt to soothe her.
"Bad guy, Dad. There's a bad guy," Elora said, her voice filled with anger as she continued glaring toward the sky.
"I know," Evan replied softly, still patting her head. "I know there's a bad guy. But so what?"
As Evan spoke, his eyes changed—one turning golden and the other a deep red.
Elora glanced at him, her face gradually relaxing back to its usual expression.
"Didn't we smash this guy into pieces in the past? If he dares to do anything, we'll smash him into pieces again. "
