804 Dead Man (Part 1)

Evan had to lift his head a little to look at the face of the extreme demon who approached him, as the demon was nearly two and a half meters tall. The demon's eyes were deep red, and he was looking at him with a menacing expression on his face.

From the fluctuations of the aura around the demon, Evan could tell he had recently reached rank two, probably one or two days ago, and was far weaker than Goliath, whom he turned into a shadow undead earlier.

"Do you need something?" Evan asked in a lazy voice, not caring about the beginner Level Rank Two pressure that the demon was releasing.

He had changed his appearance into an average-looking man with grey hair who had a lethargic expression, so when he spoke lazily, everyone present felt as if speaking was a chore to him and didn't want to engage in conversation.

Seeing that the mid-level Rank One noob wasn't taking him seriously at all, the demon's black face turned dark.

The people who were present there looked at the darkening face of the demon with an amused expression, barely holding back their laughter after seeing his reaction.

Feeling the amused looks of the onlookers, the demon's eyes flashed with anger, and he pressed down his aura on Evan.

"You weak ass ba—"

"Soul Severance!"

Evan has never been a fan of meaningless conversations, so the moment he noticed the demon wanted to attack him, he used his spiritual skill, Soul Severance!

---) Soul Severance: After activating this skill, the user can use their spiritual power to sever the connection between a person's body and soul for one second, rendering them unconscious or temporarily incapacitated.

If it were before, it would have been pretty difficult for Evan to affect a Beginner Level Rank Two Core Evolver using Soul Severance, but now that his spiritual powers were also at the Beginner Level of Rank Two due to the soul lotus, it wasn't difficult for him to sever the connection between the soul and body of the demon for a second.

The moment Evan used Soul Severance, he lost more than half of his spiritual energy, but as a result, the red eyes of the demon turned completely hollow as if he had lost his soul.

Once the connection between the demon's body and soul was severed, Evan's hand glowed with a light blue aura, and Sonic Vibrations started to come out of it.

He bent down his body to gather his strength and using the Sonic Resonance skill, delivered a powerful uppercut right at the demon's chin.

Crack!

The sound of bones cracking rang out throughout the surroundings, and the demon was sent flying high into the sky like a rocket.

Blood sprayed out from the demon's mouth, and as he ascended to the sky, a strange black aura covered his body.

When the black aura appeared around the demon, every single person present, including Voidscar, felt a chill run down their spine.

To their shock, before they could understand what was happening, the life force of the demon whom Evan sent high in the sky suddenly disappeared.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the heavy body of the demon dropped to the ground, creating a ten-meter-wide and two-meter-deep crater.

With eyes as wide as saucers, people looked at the dead body of the demon, unable to comprehend how he died with just a single punch.

Evan looked at the dead body of the demon with the same lethargic face, as if he wasn't surprised at all, but inwardly, he was also as shocked as the other people.

(The instant death effect of your bloodline Doom Bringer has been triggered.)

'Fu*k sh*t sherlock...' Evan screamed inwardly, not believing that the instant death effect of his bloodline had triggered.

It was the second time the instant death effect of his bloodline had activated since he awakened his bloodline.

The first instance occurred when he used the Blood Bullet along with Master of Shadows Authority while fighting the essence clone of the demon in the Arora World.

After looking at the dead demon for a few seconds, Evan looked around and noticed most of the people were looking at him with horror-filled eyes. They didn't know about the instant death effect of his Doom Bringer bloodline, so they assumed the demon died because his punch was too powerful.

Extreme Demons are known for their powerful physical bodies, so to kill a Beginner Level Rank Two extreme demon in a single punch, one has to be at least at the very top of mid-level Rank Two or even higher.

After witnessing how Evan killed the demon with such ease and his carefree demeanour, only one thought came to people's minds.

'This lazy grey-haired bastard is using an artefact to hide his true rank.'

Observing the way people were looking at him, Evan could already guess what they were thinking, and he barely held back his laughter.

'Although it was completely unexpected, it's not like I am going to complain...' Evan said inwardly and walked towards the dead demon. The people near the crater where the demon's dead body was lying backed away upon seeing Evan approaching it.

Evan stopped in front of the crater and, without showing any kind of expression, put away the body inside his storage ring.

After securing the body, his gaze shifted towards the group of extreme demons standing nearby, and his eyes turned sinister.

Among the group of extreme demons, there were five individuals, all of whom were Rank One. The demon Evan had just killed was the only Rank Two evolver among them.

In reality, they were all waiting for Moloch and Goliath to arrive. Unfortunately, despite sending the information about the Essence Spring to them nearly two hours ago, they haven't received any reply.

'I was wondering whom I should ask for information about what is going on here, but now there is no need to think about it anymore,' Evan said inwardly and took a step forward, instantly appearing behind a Peak Rank One demon before the demon could react.
