Chapter 977  Leaving The Tomb (Part 2)

Due to his serious injuries, it took Evan nearly two hours to recover about 70% of his world essence.

While he absorbed the surrounding world essence, Elysia continued to heal him. During these two hours, although she wasn't able to fully heal him, Evan's condition was a lot better than before.

The bones and muscles of both of his hands completely recovered, and now he could use them without much problem. The only thing that was troubling him now was the mental fatigue and the blood he lost while using the Blood Sacrifice skill.

"I want to sleep so badly..." Evan muttered while rubbing his eyebrows as he felt tired from the recent events that happened in a short period of time.

Be it his fight against the Eldritch Goblins or the encounter with Baphomet and Eldrakar, all the things that happened to him in such a short period were enough to overwhelm anyone. On top of that, although Azroth took control of his body only for a short period, the weight of his presence couldn't be underestimated and his mind was completely drained.

"Ha!" Evan sighed because of his mental fatigue and looked towards the area covered in black smoke.

Although he wanted to lie down and sleep like there was no tomorrow, he knew it wasn't the time, so he stood up and took a deep breath.

After standing up, he took out a blood-red coloured stalk of grass from his shadow storage and ate it without any expression on his face. As he chewed the grass, a strong taste of iron exploded in his mouth and the blood he lost after using the Blood Sacrifice skill started to recover at a rapid speed.

---) Blood Essence Grass: A rare herb that only grows in areas abundant with rich blood essence. When consumed, this grass can fully restore the blood essence of any individual below rank five.

Evan had found the Blood Essence Grass in the dragon statue. Although Blood Essence Grass was mainly used for recovering blood essence, it could also help him recover his lost blood.

Even though using Blood Essence Grass to recover the lost blood was a waste of a high-level herb, it couldn't be helped because Evan was in a hurry.

Under the effect of Blood Essence Grass, Evan's blood recovered quickly, and because of the abundance of blood energy the grass contained, his fatigue also decreased a bit.

After absorbing the energy of the Blood Essence Grass, Evan walked towards the Doom Sword, which was plunged deep into the ground and pulled it out.

The moment Evan pulled out the blood-coloured greatsword, a sigh escaped from his mouth, and his face turned sour.

"Damn, it was such a good weapon. Pity it wasn't able to handle the pressure of so many skills..." Evan muttered in a downcast voice as he looked at the blade of the Doom Sword, which was filled with numerous cracks and looked as if it would shatter at any moment.

Evan had found many weapons in the storage rings of the people he had killed, but Zorda's Doom Sword was one of the best among them.

No matter whether it was its destructive power or its skills, everything about it was perfect.

"I will see if I can repair it after leaving the Tomb," Evan said to himself and put away the Doom Sword.

After putting away the Doom Sword, he walked towards the body of the beginner-level rank three Eldritch Goblin.

Although he had just destroyed its internal organs and a small part of its front body when he killed it, the current Eldritch Goblin's body was heavily damaged due to the unforeseen destruction caused by the Doom Sword in the end.

"Although it is not in good condition, there shouldn't be any problem in turning it into a shadow undead," Evan said, looking at the body with a pondering expression on his face.

Honestly, he wanted to turn the Eldritch Goblin into a shadow undead immediately so that he could ask it a few questions he had, but the problem was his Primordial Shadow Energy.

Although he had recovered some of his Primordial Shadow Energy in the last two hours, it was still far from full recovery. If he used the shadow resurrection skill on the beginner-level rank three goblin, he would be left with only a hundred or so points of shadow energy.

He was about to enter the black smoke-filled area and wanted to have enough shadow energy so that he would be able to use Shadow World or other skills without any problem in case he encountered a dangerous situation.

'Although I can wait and recover more of my shadow energy before going there, my connection with Elora is weakening with each passing second, and I can't delay any longer...' Evan thought while closing his eyes and finally made up his mind.

He put away the Goblin's body inside his shadow storage and summoned around one thousand shadow undeads.

After summoning his shadow undeads, he ordered them to enter the area filled with black smoke ahead of him.

Hearing Evan's order, his shadow undeads didn't hesitate and entered the area one after another. As his shadow undeads entered the area filled with black smoke, Evan realized the black smoke wasn't corrosive or poisonous, which made him sigh in relief.

After his shadow undeads disappeared inside the black smoke, Evan didn't follow them immediately. Instead, he disappeared from the place he was standing.

Around five minutes later, Evan returned in front of the area filled with black smoke and nodded his head.

"Once I leave this place, I will turn all the Eldritch Goblins that I just collected into shadow undeads," He said and used Shadow Senses to check on his shadow undeads who had entered the black smoke earlier.

Upon using Shadow Senses, Evan saw his shadow undeads were walking forward without any problem and it didn't seem like there was any danger.

Once he confirmed that his shadow undeads hadn't encountered any danger, Evan took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"Here goes nothing..." He said and disappeared inside the black smoke.
