Chapter 512 Nightmare Curse
"Well, it's okay if you won't tell me. After all, for me, dead men tell all the tales." Evan said in a low voice and suddenly disappeared from the sky.
Issac just felt his safety artfect activated and a light blue barrier covered his entire body. But before he could understand why his artefact activated
Poof!
The blue barrier that was covering him burst like a water bubble and a sense of impending doom engulfed him.
Bang!
The next second, a booming sound echoed out throughout the sonic barrier that shook the ground and Issac was sent flying away like he was hit by a truck.
Boom!
Crack! Crack!
His body crashed against the wind barrier that Evan created earlier, making giant ripples on it. Many of Issac's bones were broken and the area around his chest was caved in.
Cough* Cough *
Issac started to cough out blood with his internal organs mixed in it and his vision turned blurry. He tried to understand his situation but the pain that was coming from all over his body made him unable to process what just happened in the last few seconds.
"He can't even handle sixty percent of my strength." Issac heard Evan's slightly disappointed voice and saw him coming towards him with slow steps.
Issac started to breathe heavily and tried his best not to pass out. He knew if he lost consciousness at this moment, he would never be able to open his eyes again.
He used all of his willpower and took out a scroll from his storage ring. He was about to crush the scroll when suddenly his body stiffened. He tried everything in his power to move his body and crush the scroll, but no matter what he did, he couldn't even move his fingers.
"So you also have this shitty scroll huh," Evan said in a neutral voice after seeing the escape scroll that Issac took out.
Issac wanted to ask why he couldn't move his body, but because of the effect of shadow nail skill, he was not even able to open his mouth.
Evan looked at the escape scroll in Issac's hand for a moment and decided to test its effect.
Although he was using the sonic barrier to bind the space, he was not sure how effective it was. In order to get a better understanding of the sonic barrier he wanted to see its effect against the escaping scroll.
"But before testing the scroll..." Evan muttered and waved his hand. Soon another shadow undead came out from his shadow storage.
This shadow undead was just fifty centimetres big and was looking like a bat.
"Use your marking skill on him," Evan said to the bat.
The small bat looked at Issac and its purple eyes glowed. A small beam of black light came out from its left eye and struck Issac's back.
Just as the beam struck Issac, a skeleton mark appeared on his back. The skeleton mark shined for a moment before it completely disappeared.
"Now even if he successfully escapes from here. I will still be able to find him.." Evan said to himself and cancelled his shadow nail skill.
Just as Evan cancelled his skill, the nails that were stopping Issac's body disappeared. When Issac felt he could move his body, he didn't hesitate and immediately crushed the scroll.
Evan watched as Issac's entire body was covered in the silver light after he crushed the scroll.
The space around the silver light wrapped and twisted and the next second Issac disappeared from the place he was lying.
But instead of feeling disappointed, Evan smiled and looked at his left side.
Just as he looked at his left side, the space twenty metres away from him shook a bit, and with a flash, Issac appeared there.
"From the space fluctuations that were coming out from that scroll, he should have teleported at least one thousand kilometres away. But because the space was bound by the sonic barrier he was just able to teleport twenty meters away" Evan said in a delightful voice and walked towards Issac who was looking at his surroundings with a face full of shock.
"How is this possible?" Issac said in a voice full of horror and looked at Evan who was coming toward him.
He dragged his body backwards, wanting to stay away from Evan.
But Evan created a shadow nail and threw it towards Issac's shadow.
Issac was not even able to follow the nail with his eyes before it struck his shadow. Just as the nail struck his shadow, a notification flashed before Evan's eyes.
(Nightmare curse activated, your target will fall into a nightmare illusion)
Evan raised an eyebrow when he saw the notification because he did not expect the nightmare curse effect of the shadow nail will activate. He looked at Issac and saw his eyes were hollow like his soul escaped from his body.
"I wonder if this guy will be able to break free from the nightmare illusion..." Evan muttered to himself, but he already knew about the result very well.
---)Shadow Nails-: Using the power of the shadow you can create five cursed nails at a time that can immobilize the target's body when it hits the target's shadow. There is a 3% chance that the target will receive the Nightmare Curse after being immobilized by the Shadow Nail, and will fall into a Nightmare illusion. If the target's soul-power is not strong enough he will not be able to leave the Nightmare Illusion and upon losing his life in illusion, he will lose his life in reality as well.
The power of the nightmare illusion depends on Evan's spiritual power, and his current spiritual power is something that even an S rank hunter couldn't handle easily.
Issac was just an A+ rank hunter who recently advanced to A+ rank. Moreover, he already lost his will to fight even before he entered the nightmare illusion. With a broken mentality, it was simply impossible for him to break free from the nightmare illusion.
And not to Evan's surprise, after three minutes of falling inside the illusion, Issac's life aura completely disappeared.
Evan did not show any kind of reaction when Issac died and put away his body in his shadow storage.
He removed the wind barrier that he created earlier and summoned back his shadow undeads.
He looked at his surrounding that was mostly fine and was not destroyed even though he killed an A+ rank hunter. He praised himself for doing such a clean job and left using his shadow wings.
While flying back, he used his shadow senses and looked at his forty shadow undeads whom he sent to destroy the four guilds.
