Chapter 668 A Eldritch Creature

Chapter 668 A Eldritch Creature

Evan followed behind Gobu and soon arrived at the place from where Gobu could feel the boundary of the hidden dimension.

After arriving there, Evan used the Eyes Of the Abyss ability as well and similar to Gobu, he was also able to see the hidden boundary of the dimension.

---) Eyes of the Abyss: The eyes of the Eldritch Goblins are their most striking feature, with pupils resembling swirling voids. This grants them the ability to see beyond the normal spectrum of light, allowing them to perceive hidden truths and magical auras. The eyes of the Abyss also help them to find the boundaries of the dimensions. In rare cases, some Eldritch Goblin might be able to awaken new abilities of Eyes Of The Abyss.

"There must be a trigger around here that can open this hidden dimension," Evan muttered and followed the path of magical energy that was being released by the boundary of the dimension.

Following the path of the magical energy, Evan arrived in front of a small rock.

"So this is the trigger huh," He muttered after arriving in front of the small rock and placed his hand on it.

The moment Evan placed his hand on the rock, some energy fluctuations came out of the rock and enveloped his body. When Evan felt the energy fluctuations enveloping his body, a small smile appeared on his face.

Swish!

The next second, a bright light flashed and Evan disappeared from the seventh floor and appeared inside the hidden dimension.

Upon entering the hidden dimension, Evan found himself standing in an eerie looking gloomy forest. All the trees of the forest were lacking vitality and were black in colour. The sky of the hidden dimension was dark brown in colour and its air was filled with a strange energy that was trying to affect Evan's mind.

When Evan felt the energy that was mixed in the air and was trying to affect his mind, he narrowed his eyes.

"This is Eldritch Energy," Evan muttered in a low voice and used his spiritual power to protect his mind.

He looked back at Gobu who followed him inside the dimension and noticed that the air of the floor was rushing towards him.

"This floor is filled with the Eldritch Energy, right?" He asked Gobu to confirm his suspicion.

"Yes, Master" Gobu nodded his head hearing Evan and looked towards the deeper area of ??the forest. "I can feel there is a strong concentration of eldritch energy within the forest."

Evan looked in the direction Gobu was looking and after a moment of consideration, started to move towards it.

He did not use his spiritual senses to see the situation in the depths of the forest because if the concentration of eldritch energy turned out to be very high, it would corrupt his soul through his spiritual senses.

While moving deeper into the forest, Evan didn't encounter any monsters. He also noticed that the power of the Eldritch Energy was increasing the deeper he moved into the forest.

Around forty minutes later, Evan and Gobu arrived near the centre area of the forest. The power of Eldritch Energy around the centre area was so strong that even Evan had to use all of his spiritual power to protect his mind.

If Evan doesn't protect his mind from the Eldritch Energy, he will become crazy similar to what happens to people when they come in contact with Gobu's skill, Madness Induction.

'I'm glad I didn't use my spiritual senses to scan this area otherwise it definitely would have been dangerous,' Evan thought to himself after feeling the power of eldritch energy coming from the centre of the forest.

After a few more minutes of walking, Evan and Gobu suddenly stopped and looked in front of them with startled eyes.

"What the hell is this thing?" Evan muttered in a shocked voice. Even Gobu who never shows any kind of expression on his hideous looking face was stunned when he saw what was in the centre of the forest.

In front of Evan and Gobu, a strange dog like creature that was purple in colour and was about twenty meters big was sleeping under a withered black tree. The back of the dog was filled with deep yellow eyes and the area around its stomach was filled with small mouths that were filled with sharp teeth. Tens of deformed limbs were coming out from both sides of its body and two small horns were coming out from the top of its head.

Eldritch Energy was constantly leaking out from its body and the aura around it was far more powerful than any other aura that Evan had felt till now.

'This creature is strong...and dangerous' This was the first thought that came into Evan's mind after seeing the dog like creature.

The Eldritch Energy around it was so strong that Evan couldn't even compare Gobu's Eldritch Energy to it.

Suddenly, Evan noticed a small golden coloured paper hovering some distance away from the dog.

'Is that the reward for clearing this ruin?' Evan said inwardly when he saw the golden coloured paper. He did not why, but the moment he looked at the golden coloured paper, Evan's inner voice started to scream at him to get his hands on that golden colour paper.

'What kind of reward is that golden colour paper?' He wondered and looked back at the sleeping dog.

To be honest, Evan wanted nothing more than to go ahead and put that golden paper into his shadow storage, but in reality, he couldn't do so for two reasons.

First, the Eldritch creature was giving him a very bad feeling and he was sure that it wouldn't be easy for him to defeat it.

Second, his main goal is to clear the dungeon so that he can get the dungeon clearing reward according to the soul contract he had signed with the clan leaders. But instead of clearing the dungeon, if he kills the Eldritch Creature in front of him and clears the ruin, he will be immediately teleported out of the dungeon.

"In the soul contract, it was clearly stated that I will do my best to clear this dungeon.... If instead of clearing the dungeon I focus on clearing the ruin, it might trigger the soul contract," Evan muttered with a frown on his face.

"Wait a minute..." Suddenly, Evan thought about something and his eyes lit up.

He looked at the golden coloured paper for a few seconds and took a deep breath.

'I don't know if this trick will work or not but this is the only thing that I can do if I want to get both of the rewards from the dungeon,' He thought inwardly and glanced at the sleeping Eldritch Creature.

After looking at the creature for a few minutes, he turned around and started to walk towards the exit portal of the ruin.

"Let's hope this method will work and I will be able to get both of the rewards," Evan muttered in a low voice while walking away.

Soon he arrived in front of the exit portal of the ruin and left the hidden dimension, returning back to the seventh floor.
