813 Burn! (Part 1)

Evan hovered high in the sky using the Shadow Wings and took a deep breath while looking at a two hundred meters tall mountain below him.

Suddenly, the two black wings on his back disappeared, and he started to fall towards the mountain. While falling down, a deep golden halo covered his body.

"Sky Fall!" He said in a low voice and immediately lost 90 points of world essence. Although he lost 90 points of world essence and felt a little dizzy, his strength stat increased by 45 points.

After the evolution of Sonic Resonance, his strength stat was permanently increased by ten, reaching the 95-point mark. And now that he used Sky Fall and increased his strength by another 45 points, his current strength stat was at 140 points, comparable to normal beginner-level rank two core evolvers.

"Damn, it's fu*king painful..." Evan gritted his teeth while falling down as he felt his muscles tearing apart due to the burden of Sky Fall.

Even though it was quite painful, Evan didn't lose focus and looked at the mountain below him because due to his falling speed, he was about to crash into the mountain.

But just as he was about to crash into the mountain, a powerful aura burst outwards from his body and punched downwards.

"Break!" He shouted in a loud voice and a world shattering force emerged from his hand.

Evan's tiny fist came into contact with the mountaintop, and for a moment, everything turned silent as if time stopped flowing.

But the silence didn't last long because the next second...

BooooooooooooooooooooM!

A doomsday-like explosion reverberated in the surroundings. With earth-shattering power, the punch destroyed the mountain's peak, sending shockwaves reverberating through its core. The impact was so immense that it tore the mountain asunder, disintegrating rock and soil into a chaotic maelstrom.

The force of the punch created shockwaves that radiated outward in all directions, demolishing everything in their path.

Trees were uprooted and flung like mere twigs, boulders hurled through the air with deadly force, and the ground itself heaved and fractured under the tremendous strain. The surrounding landscape transformed into a scene of apocalyptic chaos. A thick cloud of dust and debris rose high in the sky, obscuring the once-clear sky and casting an eerie pall over the desolation below.

The impact of the shockwave lasted for a few seconds before a gust of wind blew away the dust cloud rising high in the sky, revealing the centre of the impact area.

When the dust cloud dissipated, the two hundred-meter-tall mountain that used to be there disappeared from the face of the earth. In its place, there was now a crater more than one hundred kilometres wide and nearly three hundred meters deep.

In the middle of the giant crater, Evan lay on the ground with tattered clothes. His body was bleeding from all over, and some of his bones were snapped.

"Fu*k..." Evan cursed while lying in the middle of the crater, trying his best to stop bleeding. Other than his completely limp hand, his body was not overly injured, but he had many minor injuries, making it hard for him to stand up.

"Death Transfer!"

Feeling the condition of his body, Evan used the Death Transfer skill and immediately returned to perfect condition.

"Holy sh*t, I didn't expect the burden of increasing my strength by 45 points would be so high..." Evan said while taking a few deep breaths and stood up from the ground.

He looked at the destruction caused by Sky Fall and seeing the result of his attack, a small smile appeared on his face.

"With the help of Sky Fall, my physical attacks can also reach the beginner level of rank two," He said in a voice filled with satisfaction, as he did not expect his physical attacks to reach the rank two mark so soon.

His spiritual attacks had already reached the rank two mark because of the Soul Lotus, so now that his physical attacks were also at rank two, he could finally give a decent fight to beginner-level rank two evolvers without using Shadow Possession.

"This Tomb is really filled with extraordinary treasures..." Evan said with a shake of his head and took out the map of the mountain range from his shadow storage.

Team Black had already completed the map of the mountain range, and Evan was now planning to gather everything he could before heading towards the second layer of the Tomb.

He looked at the map of the mountain range created by Team Black and after confirming his destination, summoned the shadow undead of a wind and lightning sheep.

After summoning the sheep, he sat down on its back and disappeared from there in an instant.

Three days later...

"With this done, I can finally head towards the second layer..." Evan said in a light voice as he plucked a Peak Rank Two herb that could be used to create rank two healing potions.

He placed the herb inside his shadow storage along with the body of a dead mid-level Rank Two monster and stood up from the ground.

In the last three days, he collected all the things that he could in the mountain range. Naturally, there were many things marked on the map but some of them were already collected by the people who entered the mountain range.

Although Evan felt disappointed when some things were collected by other people, he couldn't do anything about it.

Other than collecting the things in the mountain range, he also showed his face to many people, spreading the news about him to even more people.

He had already returned to his original appearance after leaving the essence spring pond, so when he flashed his face in front of people, they immediately recognized him as the person who stole the Enlightenment Stone from the Bloodmoon Auction House.

"Now, let's head to the second layer..." Evan said after putting away the herb and was about to move away when the Crystal that Cedar had given him before he had entered the Tomb started to vibrate.
