777 Fear (Part 2)

(Mind Surpassion has Evolved into Racial Skill, Fear)

"What the..." Evan was shocked when he saw the notification and looked at it with a stunned expression on his face. He focused on the notification, and the details of the Fear skill appeared in front of him.

---) Fear (Racial Skill): Upon activation, you can release a sliver of your soul's true form. Beings with lower spiritual power and those with weak wills will feel a deep sense of fear upon looking at your soul's true form. Releasing the true form of your soul consumes a large amount of your spiritual power and can be dangerous for you if you use it for a prolonged period of time.

"True Form..." Evan muttered and looked at the darkness behind him.

"First it was Reaper's Wrath and now this..." Evan said, looking at the two deep red eyes that opened within the darkness behind him.

He didn't know why Mind Surpassion evolved into a Racial Skill, but just by looking at the names of both of his Racial Skills, Evan can tell that his Race, Eltharon is definitely something unique.

He looked at the Beginner Level Rank Two sheep and saw all of them shaking with a look of fear on their faces. Two of the ten Beginner Level Rank Two sheep even cowered to the ground and didn't dare to look at him anymore.

Evan felt conflicted seeing the group of monsters cowering in front of him and didn't know what to say.

Boom!

While Evan was thinking about the evolution of his skill, a loud sound echoed from the other side of the earth wall that Cedar had created.

"Forget it, I will think about all of these matters after taking care of this," Evan said to himself and walked towards the group of sheep.

The darkness behind Evan moved along with him, and all the sheep started to tremble even more when they saw darkness coming closer to them.

Even when Evan stopped in front of the group of sheep, they didn't do anything and just looked at the ground, not daring to look at him.

Evan sighed when he saw this and shook his head.

He tapped the heads of the sheep, sending a powerful force inside their heads, destroying their brains and wiping out their life force in an instant.

Upon killing the ten sheep, the soul harvesting effect of the Reaper's Wrath skill activated four times, increasing Evan's stat points significantly.

Feeling the increase in his strength, he couldn't help but smile and nodded in satisfaction.

Boom! Boom! - - -

The sounds of fighting from the other side of the wall kept getting louder, indicating the fight was approaching its end.

Hearing the sound of fighting, Evan's eyes flashed and he looked at the dead bodies of the Rank Two sheep.

The Primordial Shadow Energy inside his core moved, and he used the Shadow Resurrection skill. Evan used the skill only on the sheep whose souls were not harvested earlier, as the sheep whose souls he absorbed through the Reaper's Wrath skill couldn't be turned into shadow undeads.

The bodies of the sheep whose souls were not harvested started to shake upon the activation of the Shadow Resurrection skill, and Primordial Shadow Energy seeped inside their bodies.

(Shadow Resurrection failed)

(Shadow Resurrection failed)

There were six sheep whose souls were not harvested, and four of them successfully turned into shadow undeads. However, two of the sheep didn't turn into shadow undeads.

The skin of the two sheep who didn't turn into shadow undeads burst, and red blood poured out from them.

Evan wasn't surprised when he saw this and used the shadow resurrection once again.

The Shadow Resurrection didn't fail this time, and both of the sheep successfully turned into shadow undeads.

"Six Beginner Level Rank Two Wind And Lightning sheep..." Evan said and nodded in satisfaction.

He looked behind him and saw his shadow undeads had also killed all the Rank One sheep. Although there were two peak Rank One sheep among them, the shadow undeads overwhelmed them with their numbers. This time, Evan didn't turn the Rank One sheep into shadow undeads; instead, he absorbed their souls using the Soul Absorption skill.

"I need to create a Soul Beacon from the souls of Rank One evolvers just in case I find myself in a dangerous situation," Evan muttered and looked at the earth wall that Cedar had created.

---) Soul Beacon: By utilising ten thousand souls below rank one at once, you can create a unique magical beacon made of the essence of souls, allowing you to teleport to specific locations where the soul beacon is placed. This skill consumes a great amount of world essence upon activation and the greater the teleportation distance, the higher the world essence consumption will be. The distance you can teleport using the soul beacon skill will depend on the Rank of the Beacon you will create

(Note: If you use souls of Rank One or above Evolvers, you can decrease the number of souls needed to create a Soul Beacon to fifty.)

Normally, Evan needed ten thousand souls to create a Soul Beacon, but after becoming a Rank One Core Evolver, the skill changed slightly. He still needed ten thousand souls if he wanted to create a Soul Beacon using souls below Rank One, but if he used the souls of Rank One or above core evolvers, he only needed fifty souls to create one.

The distance he could teleport using an S rank Soul Beacon was two thousand kilometres, but for core evolvers, two thousand kilometres was nothing; they could cover it in a matter of minutes or even seconds using their full power.

Since he would be going to the Tomb of Ancients, he needed something that could ensure his safety if he found himself in a dangerous situation. A Soul Beacon that could teleport him away was perfect for him.

After absorbing the souls of the Rank One sheep, Evan stopped using the Fear skill as it was very taxing on his soul. He had used the skill only for a few seconds, but he had lost nearly thirty percent of his spiritual power.

After deactivating the Fear skill, he looked at the earth wall and jumped to the top of it.

The moment he reached the top, he felt terrifying energy waves flowing throughout the surroundings. Wind and lightning were destroying everything, and tens of kilometres area of the Dark Forest was completely obliterated.

Amid the destruction, Cedar stood with an indifferent look on his face. A small area around him was covered in a dark brown colour of earth, and this area was completely unaffected by the onslaught of lightning and wind.

Suddenly, Cedar's body glowed with a brown colour, and he sank into the ground.

Boom!

Even before Evan could understand what happened, he saw Cedar appear behind one of the mid-level Rank Two sheep and send it flying away.

The sheep flew for more than five hundred meters and crashed to the ground with a loud bang. Most of its bones were shattered because of the impact, and it continued to cough up blood.

The second mid-level Rank Two sheep roared in anger seeing its partner was sent flying away and attacked Cedar using a storm of wind and lightning, but Cedar once again sank into the ground and dodged its attack.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the ground of the Dark Forest started to shake. The mid-level Rank Two sheep felt a deep sense of crisis, and the fur on its body stood up to no end. Wind and lightning circled around its body as it tried to run away.

However, before the sheep could escape, four brown hands emerged from the ground and grabbed it. The Wind and Lightning sheep roared in terror and attempted to destroy the earth hands....

Woosh!

But before the sheep could destroy the hands, an earth spear suddenly shot out from the ground and pierced its stomach, turning the ground blood red.

Evan observed how easily Cedar handled the sheep and smiled a little.

He looked at the sheep Cedar had sent flying earlier and disappeared from the top of the wall. In an instant, he arrived in front of the injured sheep, which was still coughing up blood, and punched it with all of his strength, sending a powerful force into its head.

The sheep was already heavily injured, so it couldn't do anything when Evan suddenly attacked it, and its brain was destroyed.
