800 Eldritch Energy Source (Part 1)

Evan felt a mountain-like pressure bearing down on him the moment his hand was caught by the tentacle. He had already used almost all of his Primordial Shadow Energy in his earlier attack, so it became incredibly difficult for him to move his body as he did not have enough Shadow Energy to circulate inside his body.

'Darn it, don't grab my hand as if I am your boyfriend...' Evan shouted inside his mind, and his body flashed with white light. The moment his body flashed, he lost nearly forty percent of his world essence, but as a result, he disappeared and appeared twenty meters away from the rift.

After appearing twenty meters away from the rift, Evan panted heavily and looked at the tentacle with his eyes wide open.

"I teleported just twenty meters using the Soul Beacon, but even then I lost nearly 40% of my world essence..." He muttered in a shocked voice, feeling absurd that the consumption of the Soul Beacon increased hundreds of times just because of the pressure that the Eldritch Creature's aura was putting on the surrounding space.

When the Eldritch Creature noticed Evan had escaped from its grasp, the dimensional rift started to shake, and the amount of Eldritch Energy pouring out of it increased.

The other tentacles that couldn't pass through the rift because of its instability also became restless and started to attack the rift, trying to increase its size.

"I can't close the rift without taking care of this darn tentacle..." Evan said in a grim voice as he watched the tentacle that grabbed his hand earlier moving towards him.

Because the rift was very unstable, the creature couldn't move its tentacle at fast speeds, so it wasn't difficult for him to avoid the tentacle.

Although Evan was avoiding the tentacle using his agility, he could feel that the rift was slowly widening, and if he didn't do anything, the other tentacles or even the creature itself would soon be able to enter the Tomb.

"Fu*k it, I didn't want to waste it here, but it seems I have no choice," Evan cursed out loudly, and a black aura started to cover his body.

(Your Authority, Master Of Shadows has been activated)

---) Master Of Shadows (Authority): Using your authority 'Master Of Shadows', you can give absolute effect to all of your skills. During the absolute effect, all of your skills will ignore 100% defence of the target, your skills won't be restricted by your rank and the chances of the critical hit increase by 75%. After activating the authority, the absolute effect of Master of Shadows will last for twenty seconds. Master Of Shadows Authority can only be used once a month and it requires world essence to activate.

After activating the Master of Shadows Authority, Evan dodged the creature's tentacle and swiftly appeared in front of the rift once again.

With his hand lifted, he used the wind manipulation skill and the surrounding wind covered his hand, taking the shape of a sharp, long blade.

Due to the effect of the Master of Shadows Authority, the green-coloured wind blade was covered in a faint outline of a black aura, giving it an imposing appearance.

"Sever!" Once Evan's hand turned into a wind blade, he shouted and slashed down at the tentacle that was coming out of the rift.

As Evan's hand descended, the Creature seemed to realize something, and Eldritch Energy instantly covered its entire tentacle. Evan scoffed when he saw this and intensified his downward slash with even more force.

The sharp wind blade made contact with the deep red tentacle, and with the effect of the Master of Shadows Authority allowing him to ignore 100% of his opponent's defence, the wind blade swiftly cut down more than half of the tentacle.

Evan was surprised when even with the Master of Shadows Authority, he couldn't sever the tentacle in one stroke, despite the Eldritch Creature being unable to use half of its power due to the rift's instability.

Although Evan couldn't sever the tentacle completely in one go, it didn't bother him as he lifted his hand and slashed downwards once again, completely severing the tentacle this time.

Worhhhhhh!

The moment the tentacle was severed, Evan heard a furious voice from the other end of the rift and saw two deep blue eyes looking at him with coldness.

When Evan looked at the two deep blue eyes, he felt as if he was thrown inside a pond of freezing water, making it incredibly difficult for him to move.

Feeling the cold stare of the Eldritch Creature, Evan's eyes flashed with anger.

"Who are you trying to scare with those shitty eyes of yours?" He shouted and used the small amount of Primordial Shadow Energy that he had recovered. Because of the Shadow Energy, Evan regained control over his body. At the same time, a deep purple aura covered his hand.

"Void Break!"

The conceptual energy of void inside his core moved as he used the first skill that he had comprehended. Because of Void Break, a void rift opened beside the dimensional rift that Gobu had opened, and both rifts merged into one.

Evan had complete control over the void rift that he had opened using the Void Break skill. So when the rift he opened merged with the dimensional rift opened by Gobu, he gained control over the second rift as well.

His current understanding of void energy was at 21%, and because of his increased understanding, it took only five percent of his total void energy to open the rift, leaving him with nearly 95% of his void energy.

However, the moment Evan gained control over both rifts, his eyes flashed with purple light, and all of his Void Energy disappeared in an instant.

"Close!"

He roared loudly, and all the void energy that disappeared from his core covered the rift. Simultaneously, before the Creature could send another of its tentacles to interrupt the rift, the void energy that covered the rift burst forth, and the entire rift immediately closed down.
