Chapter 796 Path To Origin (Part 4)

??Evan looked at the five dark-skinned individuals who emerged from behind the trees and narrowed his eyes. Observing their bulging muscles and dark black skin, he immediately recognized them as extreme demons known for their physical strength.

Among the five demons, one was at the mid level of Rank Two, one was at the beginner level of Rank Two, and the other three were peak rank one core evolvers.

"I don't know whether to call you stupid or brave for not running away even after knowing about us..." Moloch, the mid-level Rank Two extreme demon said in a slightly amused voice after coming out.

His group was heading towards the second layer of the Tomb when he sensed the high concentration of spiritual power from this area and found Evan and the Soul Lotus.

He would have attacked Evan long ago and collected the Soul Lotus by himself, but he stopped himself from attacking when he noticed the shadow undeads of the two wind and lightning sheep who were standing behind Evan.

One wind and the lightning sheep was Evan's mount while the second one was Volac's.

After noticing the two black monsters who were Beginner Level Rank Two, Moloch remembered a few black monsters they had killed yesterday while wandering in the mountain range.

The black monsters they killed yesterday were similar looking to the black monsters standing behind Evan, and his gut feeling told him not to act carelessly, which is why he didn't attack Evan immediately.

Evan ignored Moloch's mocking words and looked at the demons with a pensive expression on his face.

He didn't care about the peak Rank One extreme demons as they posed no threat to him. The aura around the Beginner Level Rank Two demon was quite powerful, but the shadow undeads of Brown and his wind and lightning sheep could easily take care of him.

The problem was Moloch, who gave Evan a dangerous feeling. He was sure that if he released all the shadow undeads of Team Red, they would be able to kill Moloch sooner or later.

But the problem was that if Moloch decided to run away in the middle of the fight, it would be extremely difficult for Evan to stop him without using the shadow possession skill.

Evan had a big plan in his mind and in order to perfectly execute that plan, he had to keep the presence of his shadow undeads a secret from others for the time being.

If he started the fight and Moloch somehow successfully escaped from here, the news that he has thousands of undeads in his arsenal would eventually spread among the other people who entered the Tomb, and it would become extremely difficult for him to execute his plan if something like that happened.

'If I decide to fight them, I will have to make sure that none of them escape from here...' Evan said inwardly as his eyes flashed with sharp light.

"It seems this guy is so afraid that he can't even speak," Goliath, the Beginner Level Rank Two demon said in a mocking voice and started to laugh when Evan remained silent after seeing them.

"Listen, little guy, if you don't want to die a painful death, hand over the soul lotus and all the other things that_"

"Shadow World!"

Before Goliath could finish speaking, a black dome came out of Evan's body and enclosed the Demons with him inside.

"What the_" The expressions of Moloch and the other demons changed when the surroundings around them suddenly turned dark, and they couldn't sense anything outside of the black dome.

Moloch looked at Evan, who was standing around one hundred meters away from him and noticed a savage grin on his face that sent a chill down his spine.

"Death Ring!"

He heard Evan's voice, and the space inside the dome was suddenly filled with an eerie black smoke.

---) Death Ring (Unique Skill): When activated, a swirling black ring filled with the essence of death begins to rotate around you. All the enemies that fall within the bounds of the Death Ring are burned to fuel the power of the Ring of Death even more. While inside the Death Ring, all the enemies who are the same rank as you or two ranks lower than you will lose 5% of their maximum health with each passing second. The enemies who are three or more ranks below you will lose 30% of their maximum health per second. Meanwhile all of the enemies who are higher rank than you will lose 3% of their maximum health every second after falling inside the death ring. The Death Ring will not work on enemies who are three ranks higher than you. The power of all of your shadow undeads will increase by 1% for every five hundred enemies that die within the ring of death. Your shadow undeads can receive a maximum boost of 100% because of the death ring. The starting range of the Death Ring is three kilometres, and for every one thousand enemies that die within the 'Death Ring', the range of the swirling Death Ring will increase by one kilometre. The maximum range that Death Ring can reach is twenty kilometres.

The moment Death Ring was activated, all the extreme demons, except Moloch, started to lose their life force.

Feeling the black smoke sucking away their life force, a look of terror crossed the faces of the demons and they tried to protect themselves using the world essence.

Goliath, the Beginner Level Rank Two demon successfully stopped the effect of the Death Ring using the world essence, but the power of the other three Beginner Level Rank One demons was insufficient to counteract the Death Ring's effect.

Even after using the world essence, they continued to lose their life force with each passing second. The demons wanted to run away from the Death Ring, but because of the shadow world, escape was impossible.

"Damn, what the hell is this black smoke..." Moloch shouted in an anger-filled voice as he tried to blow away the smoke. Although the Death Ring wasn't able to drain his life force due to his higher rank, the smoke still obstructed his vision.

Moloch was still thinking about how to deal with the Death Ring and Shadow World to save his underlings when the ground inside the dome suddenly started to shake, and out of nowhere, the auras of thirteen Beginner Level Rank Two monsters engulfed the surroundings.
