583 Realm Glyphs (Part 1)

"Master, you finally woke up," Evan heard Illusia's relieved voice the moment he used his shadow senses.

"What's the matter Illusia?" When Evan heard Ilusia's voice, he raised his eyebrows because he could feel that she wanted to tell him something important.

"Master, the Dark Guild is planning to launch an all-out attack."

"What do you mean?" Evan's expressions turned serious and he asked while looking in Ronan's direction.

"A few days ago Sera and the other S Rankers of the Dark Guild called all the Dark Guild members back to their main base and told us that they are planning to launch an all-out attack and we need to prepare for it."

"By all out attack do you mean_" Evan didn't finish his sentence but Illusia already knew what he wanted to ask.

"Yes, they are planning to attack all the cities at the same time," Illusia confirmed what Evan was thinking.

Evan fell silent hearing Illusia, he thought about the situation for a moment and asked something important.

"Do they have enough force to attack all the cities at once?"

"I'm not sure because other than the fact that they're going to launch an all-out attack, they haven't disclosed any other information," Illusia said in a slightly disappointed voice.

"Hmmm," Evan used his shadow wings and slowly started to fly towards the place where Ronan and Golden Lion were fighting.

"Where are you now?" he asked Illusia as she flew.

"I'm currently in Ashbourne town, not far from the city of Aquaville."

"What are you doing there?" Evan asked in a confused voice.

Ashbourne is a small town similar to Oklima town where Evan went a few months ago after accepting a mission from the academy.

There are several towns located in the middle of the five cities and most of them are very small.

"I and some other members of the Dark Guild were ordered by the S Ranker to stay here in Ashbourne. We have been here for five days and earlier we received news that someone would come today and explain our task to us." Illusia said to Evan after hearing his question.

'What are they planning now?' Evan thought inwardly hearing Illusia. He could not understand why Illusia was ordered to stay in Ashbourne town.

"All right, keep me informed about their move," Evan said to Illusia after a moment and stopped using shadow senses.

After he stopped using shadow senses, he flapped his wings with full force and disappeared from the sky.

In an instant, he arrived above the battlefield where Golden Lion and Ronan were fighting.

Golden Lion was mostly fine, but Ronan's condition was not looking good and his body was riddled with injuries.

'It's been around thirty minutes since the fight started. Should I escape now?' Ronan thought while fighting against the Golden Lion.

First of all, he never intended to fight to the end. He just wanted to pretend that he fought with everything he had and escaped in order to save his life.

'My mission was to make those hunters and monsters fight against each other and now that I have completed my mission...' Ronan thought and barely dodged the giant claw of the Golden Lion.

As Ronan was thinking about escaping, the Golden Lion suddenly stopped attacking and backed away from him.

When Ronan saw the Golden Lion retreat he was stunned and did not understand what was happening, but soon he felt a cold gaze looking over him.

He quickly lifted his head and looked in the direction from where he was feeling the cold gaze and his heart almost leapt out from his chest when his eyes met with Evan's swirling void like eyes.

Just by looking into those eyes, he felt as if his soul was leaving his body and falling into a deep abyss.

'Run, Run!' The moment his eyes met with Evan's eyes, Ronan's instincts started screaming in his mind and his legs started shaking.

He wanted to take out the escape scroll from the storage ring that he had prepared in advance to escape, but it was completely useless as Ronan's entire body was frozen with fear and he could do nothing.

Evan came down from the sky and landed in front of Ronan. He was extracting soul pressure on Ronan the whole time, which is why he was frozen in fear.

After landing, Evan looked at trembling Ronan with an indifferent expression on his face.

Looking at Ronan, Evan thought of one of the skills he saw in his dream when he was unconscious and activated his Soul Absorption skill. Soon a small black hole formed at the tip of his finger, but since there was no soul around Evan, the black hole wasn't able to absorb anything.

'This is a lot harder than the ice spear skill, but I've used it so many times that now I can use it even with my eyes closed' Evan thought and pressed his finger on Ronan's forehead.

After pressing the finger on Ronan's forehead, he controlled the flow of Mana that was keeping the Soul Absorption skill activated and changed it according to the flow he saw in his recent dream.

The small black hole that Evan pressed on Ronan's forehand suddenly shook and went inside his body.

The moment the small black hole went inside Ronan's body, a notification flashed before Evan's eyes.

(You have unlocked the second aspect of the soul absorption skill 'Soul Search')

"Arghh" Ronan suddenly dropped to the ground and started to scream in pain. His eyes turned bloodshot and he felt like someone was eating his soul. Blood started coming out from his mouth and nose and his aura started decreasing.

Evan looked at him without any expression on his face.

After a few seconds, the black hole that went inside Ronan's body came out and was absorbed by Evan.

Just as Evan absorbed the black hole, Ronan's memories began to emerge in his mind.

From his conversation with Nate to his memories before he came to Naphliam City. Evan saw everything in an instant.

There were many important things in Ronan's memory, but the thing that caught Evan's attention were the three words that he heard from Nate.

"Demon Summoning Ritual."
