Two horns grew from Evan’s head, and a long dragon tail extended from his back as his strength and endurance doubled.

====

---) Strength: 6,00,000

---) Endurance: 8,00,000 (+8,00,000 due to the effect of Ruler’s Authority)

===

His strength reached a staggering six hundred thousand points, while his endurance became even more monstrous, reaching one million six hundred thousand under the doubling effect of his Ruler’s Authority.

But the increase in Evan’s stats was just one aspect as there were many other terrifying changes taking place.

====

---) Master of Shadows (Authority): By using your Authority, Master of Shadows, you can grant absolute effects to all of your skills. During this absolute state, all of your skills ignore 100% of the target’s defense, your skills are no longer restricted by your rank, and the chance of triggering a critical hit increases by 75%. Once activated, the absolute effect of Master of Shadows lasts for twenty seconds. This Authority can only be used once a month and requires World Essence to activate.

====

As the Master of Shadows Authority activated, the entire sky turned blood-red, as if all of Utopia had been submerged within a sea of blood.

A massive blood-red pupil, formed under the effect of Gaze of Monarch opened high in the sky, looking down upon the world with cold indifference while releasing overwhelming killing intent.

At this moment, Evan’s power had reached an absurd level, and under its enhancement, the effect of Gaze of Monarch multiplied several times over.

As a result, almost every being in Utopia felt as though they had been thrown into a sea of blood.

Many individuals with weaker willpower immediately lost their sanity under the crushing killing intent, beginning to attack others or harm themselves.

But Evan paid no attention to any of that.

His draconic eyes gleamed with dense Void Energy as he activated the first effect of the Null Eyes skill— The Gaze Of Forgotten.

===

---) First Effect (Gaze of the Forgotten): By locking eyes with a target and using Void Energy, the user can erase their existence from the target’s memory, making it as if they never existed in the target’s mind. Under the effect of Null Eyes, the target completely forgets the caster’s presence and any interaction with them.

====

The target of Null Eyes was, of course, Eldraker, who stood right in front of him.

Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for Evan to affect a being like Eldraker due to the vast difference in their rank and power.

But at this moment, despite the enhancements from his skills and Authorities, although Evan was still weaker than a Rank Six Core Evolver, his strength still reached an extremely terrifying level.

Moreover, he had already activated the Master of Shadows Authority, which allowed his skills to ignore rank differences entirely.

From the moment Evan gave Eldraker a cold smile to the activation of all his skills and authorities, not even half a second had passed and everything happened in an instant.

Because Evan had already planned everything beforehand and gone through it repeatedly in his mind, he did not waste even a microsecond.

The moment he was flooded with overwhelming power, he acted.

Gaze of Monarch was the first skill to take effect, releasing an immense wave of killing intent across Utopia.

Although this killing intent was still far weaker than what Azroth had unleashed inside the Tomb of the Ancient, it was more than enough to distract Eldraker for a brief moment, making him believe that Evan had once again transformed into Azroth—just like before.

Due to his already unstable state of mind, Eldraker froze for a split second under the effect of Gaze of Monarch, giving Evan the opportunity to use his next skill—Null Eyes.

At this crucial moment, luck was on Evan’s side.

The instant he used Gaze of the Forgotten on Eldraker, one of the effects of the Master of Shadows Authority triggered.

(Critical Hit)

Under the effect of the critical hit, Eldraker’s mind went completely blank for a brief moment, causing him to forget Evan’s existence entirely.

However, even though Eldraker was momentarily dazed and Evan had the perfect opportunity to attack him with full force, he did not do so.

He knew that his current strength was still insufficient to kill a Rank Six Core Evolver in one strike and he needed to weaken Eldraker first before delivering a decisive blow.

At that very moment, an ancient aura, one that seemed to originate from the beginning of the world began to emanate from Evan’s body as strange patterns spread across his skin.

Primordial Rune of Sealing!

He activated the Primordial Rune of Sealing and began drawing it with all his strength.

Due to the immense enhancement of his spiritual power from his active skills and authorities, Evan was able to draw over two hundred patterns of the Rune of Sealing in an instant.

It was at this exact moment that Eldraker broke free from the combined effects of Gaze of Monarch and Null Eyes.

Even under the enhancement of Master of Shadows, both skills had only managed to affect him for half a second, clearly demonstrating the vast gap that still existed between their power levels.

But that did not matter to Evan.

He was certain that two hundred patterns of the Rune of Sealing were more than enough to restrain Eldraker for a brief moment.

The instant Eldraker regained his senses, he saw Evan thrusting a strange rune toward him.

The rune radiated an absolute aura of sealing, as if it could suppress the entire world.

Just looking at the Rune, the Dragon’s instincts screamed danger and Eldraker immediately launched an attack at lightning speed, attempting to push Evan away.

However, when his attack landed, it had no effect whatsoever.

It was due to the Death Guardian Authority, which rendered Evan completely invincible for five seconds.

Realizing that his attack was ineffective, Eldraker immediately tried to retreat to avoid the incoming rune.

But because of Evan’s Void Manipulation Authority, his movement was delayed for a crucial moment.

And in the very next instant, the Rune of Sealing struck him directly on the chest.

BOOOOOOM!

An overwhelming aura of sealing erupted outward.

Eldraker’s powers were instantly suppressed, leaving him as nothing more than a powerless dragon.

The moment Evan sensed that Eldraker’s power had been sealed, he did not hesitate even for a fraction of a second.

He gathered all of his power into his right fist and punched.

Under the force of his attack, the sky across more than a hundred million miles shattered like broken glass.

Utopia itself seemed to cry out as countless cracks spread in all directions, covering the land.

But Evan paid no attention to any of it as his entire focus was on killing Eldraker.

However, unfortunately for him, just as he believed victory was within his grasp, the Monarch of Demons finally made his move.
