Necromancer Of The Shadows-Chapter 851 I Blackmailed Him (Part 1)

?"Now that's what I call an EXPLOSION," Evan said with a wide smile on his face as he looked at the giant mushroom cloud in the distance.

After a few seconds, when the aftereffects of the explosion subsided, he came out from behind Brown and tried to look for the cow monster using his spiritual senses, only to see burnt chunks of meat scattered all over the place.

"Well, it seems the green fire decreased its defence quite a bit, which is why it wasn't able to defend itself and was blasted into smithereens..." Evan said with a shake of his head, not caring too much about the fact that he lost a chance to create a new shadow undead for himself.

He looked at the red fire covering his palm, and his eyes gleamed with thoughtfulness. fr(e)enovelkiss

"The destructive power and the heat of the red fire are already very powerful, but what if I combine the red fire with the orange fire that represents explosive force..." Evan muttered in a low voice and his heart started to beat wildly. "Wouldn't the power of Prismatic Fire increase even more if I combine the different kinds of fire to bring out their true potential."

Octavius, who was inside Evan's soul looked at everything with dead eyes.

'From his expression, I can already tell that he is never going to return my precious Prismatic Fire to me,' He thought with a depressed look on his face and felt like crying.

ROAR!

Just when Octavius was feeling depressed, he suddenly heard a loud roar that sent a chill down his soul.

Evan's expression also changed when he heard the loud roar, and without wasting even a second, he quickly mounted the wind and lightning sheep and ordered it to dash away from there.

As the wind and lightning sheep bolted away, Evan glanced in the direction of the roar and saw a dark aura rising in the sky.

'It's definitely a beginner-level rank three monster...' Evan thought with a serious look on his face as he looked at the dark aura covering the sky a few thousand kilometres away from him.

"Although the monster is very far away from me, I should get out of here as soon as possible before I catch its attention," He said in a low voice and a purple fire covered his palm.

---) Purple Fire: Signifies mystic energy and enchantment, capable of dispelling magic or buffing abilities.

Once the purple fire covered his palm, Evan pressed it against the sheep's back, and the sheep's entire body was enveloped by a light purple fiery aura.

Evan was already short on world essence because of testing out the powers of Prismatic Fire earlier, so when he used the purple fire, he lost almost all of his world essence and felt a mild headache.

Although he experienced a mild headache, Evan was very pleased with the result of the purple fire because its buff significantly increased the speed at which the wind and lightning sheep was running, nearly reaching the top speed of a normal mid-level Rank Two monster.

'I used around twenty points of world essence to buff the sheep, and from the looks of it, the buff will last for around one minute...' Evan observed the result of the buff provided by the purple fire and drank a potion to recover his world essence.

Although the duration of the buff was not very long, Evan didn't complain because it was already quite absurd that he could use the fire to give buffs to his undeads.

Evan looked in the direction of the Rank Three monster and sighed in relief when he felt that the monster wasn't approaching him.

Soon enough, under the buff of the purple fire, the wind and lightning sheep ran far away, and Evan couldn't sense the aura of the Rank Three monster anymore. Once he couldn't feel the monster's presence, his tense body relaxed and he exhaled lightly.

"Hey, old man, come out, there are a few things that I want to ask you." The moment Evan spoke, a transparent image of Octavius appeared in front of him.

Evan looked at the old man for a few seconds, and after a moment, he decided to ask the question that was bothering him the most.

"What was wrong with the people who attacked me during the second trial?"

Octavius's soul stiffened when he heard Evan's question and he started to sweat profusely.

Evan narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and a smirk appeared on his face.

"Let me guess, the people who attacked me were the ones who failed the first trial, but you offered them a chance to advance to the second trial, or should I say, you lured them into a trap by offering them a second chance and somehow took control of them after they fell into your trap. Then you sent those people to capture me so that you can take me under your control as well, right?"

Hearing Evan, Octavius looked at him with an expression that was asking, 'How did you know that?'

Evan rolled his eyes when he saw the old man's expression and said in a plain voice,

"When I saw your soul for the first time, I noticed that you didn't have much energy left and guessed that you were capturing the people who entered the cave dimension to absorb their energy in order to keep yourself alive." He paused after speaking this and continued after a moment.

"Honestly, I don't care about the fact that you tried to capture me using those people. The reason I am talking about this matter is that I am curious as to how you controlled those people. Why were the first two people who came to capture me not able to use their skills properly? And why was the fatty who appeared last able to use all of his skills, unlike the first two?"

Hearing Evan, Octavius stayed silent for a moment. After some time, he opened his mouth and said with a sigh, "The reason the first two people were not able to use their skills was because of the method I used to control them, and as for why the fatty who appeared last was able to use his skills, it was because..."

"....

"It was because..." Evan urged the old man to speak when he saw he was hesitating.

Octavius scratched the back of his head, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face.

Evan narrowed his eyes when he saw the way Octavius was acting and felt something was not right.

Seeing Evan's narrowed eyes, Octavius took a deep breath and finally spoke, "That fatty was able to use his skills and zone because he was not completely under my control. He was just helping me because I blackmailed him."

After saying this, Octavius turned his head sideways, looking quite embarrassed.

Hearing the word blackmail and the way Octavius was acting, Evan's mouth hung open and his imagination started to run wild.

'Why is he acting like this? Don't tell me he caught that fatty swinging that way with the male elf and the second fatty and recorded his deed inside a recording crystal.'
