623 A Problematic Situation (Part 1)
"What did he mean by those words?" Evan muttered to himself after hearing Asher's last words. He looked in the direction where the monster army was stationed but he didn't feel anything strange from that direction.
'I can't use my spiritual senses to confirm the situation of the monster army because of this red fire,' Evan thought and looked back at Asher's body with an uncertain look on his face.
Although he was bothered because of the words Asher said before dying, his mind was focused on a completely different matter.
"Should I use my Shadow Resurrection skill on him or not?"
---) Shadow Resurrection:- You can use shadow energy to create a shadow undead from a lifeless corpse. The shadow undead will have the same level of strength as the corpse from which it was created. You can use the skill on the corpses which are two levels above you at most. The chances of shadow resurrection failing increase depending on the target's strength and the condition of their body. If a shadow undead is destroyed you can summon them back using mana.
Asher was a Rank One Core Evolver so it was possible for Evan to turn him into a shadow undead, but the problem was that almost half of Asher's body was missing and even by using the Soul Absorption skill, Evan was not confident that he could successfully turn Asher into a shadow undead.
Moreover, the difference between ranks also affects the success rate of the Shadow Resurrection skill. Although Asher was a Rank One Core Evolver, only one rank above Evan, the difference between the S rank and Rank One is simply too vast.
"Sigh..." Evan sighed lightly after thinking about all the things for a few seconds and stored Asher's body inside his shadow storage.
"I will try to turn him into a shadow undead after increasing the rank of my Prime Core," Evan said to himself and used shadow wings to fly in the direction of the Monster Army. Asher's last words were still fresh in Evan's mind and they were giving him a bad feeling.
"He said someone is coming and I have to stop Monster Army if I want to live," Evan said while flying in the direction of Monster Army, "Who is the person he was talking about?"
While flying towards the monster army, Evan noticed the power of the red fire that was burning on the ground was still not showing any sign of decreasing.
'Don't tell me this fire is going to burn forever' Evan couldn't help but think seeing the red fire that was still the same as before.
After flying for about three minutes, Evan finally saw the monster army... And when he saw what the monsters of the army were doing, his eyes opened wide because of the shock.
"What the hell they are doing?" Evan muttered in a shocked voice.
In front of him, thousands of Monsters of the monster army were rushing inside the sea of red fire and killing themselves.
No matter if it was F rank monster or an A rank monster, all of them were rushing inside the sea of red fire like mindless beasts.
The power of the red fire was simply too high for those monsters to bear. The moment the monsters rushed inside the fire, their bodies disappeared from the world without leaving anything behind.
Even the soul orbs that Evan could absorb after a person's death were burned by the red fire.
'Stop the monster army if you want to live,' Evan thought about the words Asher said before dying and looked at the strange scene in front of him. Looking at the monsters who were killing themselves one by one, an uneasy feeling began to grow in his heart.
"I don't know why these monsters are killing themselves, but If what that guy said is true then this must be some kind of sacrificing ritual to summon someone," Evan muttered in a serious voice and shot towards the monster army.
There were around four million monsters in the monster army when Evan saw them earlier before his fight against Asher. But the current number of monsters in the army already decreased to two and a half million.
One and a half million monsters already rushed inside the sea of red fire and killed themselves.
After arriving near the monster army, Evan used gravity manipulation and stopped all the monsters from moving.
ROAR! RAOR! ROAR! ROAR! - - - -
All the monsters started to roar in anger when Evan stopped them and their eyes turned bloodshot.
Earlier, there were a total of four S rankers in the monster army. But three of them had already jumped inside the sea of fire and now there was just one S ranker left.
But against the power of Evan's gravity manipulation skill, even that S ranker couldn't do anything other than roaring in anger.
"Are these monsters being controlled by someone?" Evan said in a doubtful voice seeing the bloodshot eyes of the monsters and how they were still trying to jump inside the sea of red fire.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!------
Suddenly, Evan started to hear the sound of explosions. He looked at the monsters who couldn't move because of his Gravity Manipulation skill and saw all of them were self-destructing.
"These lunatics_" Evan couldn't help but curse seeing monsters were self-destructing. There were hundreds of thousands of monsters so it was impossible even for Evan to stop them if they wanted to self-destruct.
In just a few seconds, more than one million monsters exploded into blood mist and turned tens of kilometres of area into a land of blood.
"What the hell they are trying to do by killing themselves?" Evan asked himself in a confused voice and looked at the monsters who were exploding one after another.
Woosh!
Suddenly the red fire that was burning all over the wilderness moved on its own and started gathering in one place.
Along with the red fire, the blood mist that filled the surroundings after the death of monsters also moved and rushed towards the place where the red fire was gathering.
Evan tried to stop the red fire and the blood mist, but his efforts were useless and all the blood mist was absorbed by the red fire.
Bang! Bang! Bang!----
The speed at which the monsters were exploding also increased and in just a few seconds, all the monsters were dead.
The blood mist of the monsters was absorbed by the red fire that gathered in one place.
Rumble!
The moment red fire absorbed all the blood mist, the space barrier of the surroundings started to shake and became incredibly weak.
Woosh!
Suddenly the red fire burst into a puff of red smoke and the space barrier of the surrounding area collapsed.
When the space barrier collapsed and the red smoke disappeared, Evan thought he would see another high ranking demon similar to Asher.
But when the smoke disappeared and the surroundings became clear, Evan was shocked because instead of a demon, he saw something that he did not expect to see there.
"A dungeon portal."
A red dungeon portal that was giving him a bad feeling appeared there.
