Chapter 625 It Is The Carnage! (Part 1)
"Damn it," Evan cursed seeing how the people of the city had also started killing each other and their blood was moving in the direction of the dungeon portal.
He summoned the shadow undeads of the blood demons and ordered them to stop the blood that was going in the direction of the dungeon portal.
After ordering the blood demons to stop the blood, Evan rushed inside the city.
When he came inside the city, he saw people were killing each other like mindless zombies. He wanted to stop them but when he remembered what had happened earlier when he tried to stop people from killing each other, he did nothing.
"There are too many people. Even with the help of blood demons, it is impossible for me to stop all the blood that is going towards the dungeon," Evan said to himself and rubbed his eyebrows in frustration because he did not know what he should do in the current situation.
As he watched people killing each other, suddenly an idea came to his mind.
"I am a complete fool. How can I forget about them?" He cursed himself and summoned some of his shadow undeads which were similar to cuckoos.
The undeads he summoned were the shadow undeads of a bird monster called Sprite Cuckoo.
Sprite Cuckoos do not have much fighting power but they are adept at spiritual attacks.
One of their skills is the Tranquility Song which can affect people's minds and put them to sleep. Since he can't stop people from killing each other by normal means, he will just put them to sleep.
The Sprite Cuckoos were not of much use to Evan, so he only had ten shadow undeads of the cuckoos. After summoning them, he ordered the Sprite Cuckoos to spread throughout the city and use the Tranquility Song to put people to sleep.
On receiving Evan's order, the shadow undeads of ten cuckoos immediately flew away and a sweet song echoed in the large area of the city.
Evan looked at the people who were fighting on the ground and noticed their attacking speed slowed down the moment Tranquility Song started to ring out.
In just a few seconds, all the people within the radius of twenty kilometres stopped attacking each other and fell asleep.
Seeing the song of the cuckoos was useful, Evan ordered his shadow undeads to continue to sing and move to different areas of the city.
"Although I won't be able to stop everyone using this method because the city is too big and there are just ten sprite cuckoos, it is better than nothing," Evan muttered to himself and flew out of the city.
The blood demons were still trying to stop the blood mist that was coming out from the city, but the amount of blood mist that was coming out was too high so they couldn't stop all the blood mist that was going towards the dungeon portal.
"In order to stop this sh*t I at least need to know what the hell is going on here," Evan said in a low voice and landed on the ground.
After landing, he took out Asher's body from his shadow storage.
Evan didn't want to turn Asher into a shadow undead for the time being because the chances of failure were quite high, but in the current situation, he had no choice but to use shadow resurrection on Asher because he was the only one who could tell him what was happening.
"I just have one chance," Evan took a deep breath and used shadow resurrection. The condition of Asher's body was too serious and Evan was sure that if he failed even for once, Asher's body would explode.
After activating shadow resurrection, Evan didn't hesitate even for a second and directly used one hundred thousand souls as fuel in order to make sure nothing went wrong.
Even though Evan used one hundred thousand souls, Asher's body started to shake violently the moment shadow energy went inside it.
Fearing that Asher's body would explode, he used one hundred thousand souls once again.
The shaking of Asher's body subsided a bit when Evan used one hundred thousand souls once again, but the situation was still not ideal because some cracks started to appear on his body.
Evan gritted his teeth when he saw this and used three hundred thousand souls once again, using a total of five hundred thousand souls as fuel.
As soon as he used the three hundred thousand souls, Asher's body stopped shaking and the cracks visible on his skin also disappeared.
Woosh!
Slowly, a shadow undead that looked similar to Asher rose in front of Evan. The aura of a Rank One Evolver filled the wilderness and the surrounding space around Evan trembled due to the pressure that Asher was releasing.
Seeing the shadow resurrection was successful, Evan sighed in relief and a wide smile appeared on his face. But smiling widely was his biggest mistake because the moment he smiled....
Bang!
Asher's body exploded into a bloody mess. Small pieces of flesh and blood flew all over and some of them went inside his mouth.
"Fu*k your mother," Evan immediately started vomiting and a look of disgust flashed on his face.
"Master, my mother is already dead so I can't follow your order." While he was vomiting, Evan heard Asher's voice.
*Cough
Along with the food he had eaten in the morning, Evan coughed out some blood as well when he heard Asher.
'Bastard, I was just cursing, not telling you to commit debauchery,' He thought inwardly while vomiting.
After vomiting everything out, Evan took out a small bottle of holy water and rinsed his mouth.
Before putting away the holy water, he thought about what had Asher said earlier and sprinkled a few drops of holy water on him so that his mind would become clear.
"The world is playing a joke on me," Evan said after putting away holy water because he didn't expect Asher's body to explode even though the shadow resurrection was successful.
He stopped thinking about Asher's body and looked at his Rank One shadow undead.
"Come with me," He said to him and flew in the direction of the dungeon portal.
Because of their high agility, they arrived near the dungeon portal in just a few minutes and landed in front of the golden barrier.
"The barrier is weakening," Just after landing, Evan immediately noticed that the barrier was slowly losing its power.
"It must be because of the blood mist," Evan muttered and looked at Asher.
"Before dying you told me to stop the monster army." He said and pointed at the dungeon portal. "Looking at this thing you should already know I failed to stop them so can you tell me what the hell is going on here."
Asher looked at the red dungeon portal and stayed silent for a few seconds before he started speaking.
"Master, do you know anything about essence clones?"
Evan nodded his head hearing Asher. "I know some things like once you reach a very high level you can use your essence to create a clone of yourself that will have some of your abilities and you can control that clone to perform some tasks for you."
Asher nodded his head hearing Evan and pointed towards the dungeon portal.
"There is an essence clone of a powerful demon inside this dungeon."
Evan was not surprised when he heard Asher because he had already guessed it, but there was still something that he couldn't understand.
"Is this possible for the people from the higher world to send their essence clone into the lower worlds? As far as I know, it is nearly impossible for anyone from the higher world to come into the lower world without the help of a summoning formation."
"Master is right, it is extremely difficult for people from the higher world to break the world barrier and come to the lower world, but there are still some people who can break the world barrier using their extraordinary power and can send their essence clone into the lower world."
Evan narrowed his eyes hearing Asher and looked at the dungeon portal.
"So you are saying the person who sent this essence clone is one of the top powerhouses of Utopia?"
"Yes," Asher nodded his head hearing Evan.
Evan took a deep breath hearing Asher and nodded his head.
"I understand," He said and pointed at the blood mist that was being absorbed by the portal. "So, what is happening here?"
"Master, although some people can break the world barrier and can send their essence clones into the lower worlds, it is still impossible for their essence clones to directly enter the lower worlds. The laws of lower worlds are very different from Utopia and these laws naturally reject the existence of the people who forcefully enter the lower worlds." Asher said and he continued.
"Once someone from Utopia forcefully sends their essence clone into a lower world, the laws of that world will immediately reject their existence and will send that essence clone into a dungeon. In most cases, the essence clone will lose its ego and will turn into a mindless monster after being sent inside a dungeon, but this essence clone is different and it was successfully able to preserve its ego."
Evan looked at the dungeon portal with a pondering look on his face after hearing Asher and finally understood what was happening.
"So you are saying this essence clone didn't lose its ego and now it is trying to break free from the dungeon?"
"Yes," Asher nodded his head and he said in a serious voice. "Although this essence clone was successfully able to preserve its ego it is still impossible for it to ignore the laws of this world and come out from the dungeon, so now this essence clone is using this method to break free from the dungeon."
"By absorbing the blood of people this essence clone can break free from the dungeon?" Evan asked while raising an eyebrow.
"Master, you are wrong. He is not just absorbing their blood...," Asher said when he heard Evan. "... He is absorbing their entire existence including their life essence."
"The laws of this world rejected that essence clone and sent him into the dungeon because he is not someone from this lower world and forcefully entered here. But once he absorbs the enough life essence of the people who are born in this world, his essence will also change and the laws of this world will not reject his existence anymore, allowing him to come out of this dungeon." Asher said and pointed at the golden barrier.
"This barrier is made from the law energy of this world and as you can see, its power is getting weaker because the more life essence that clone absorbs the weaker the resistance of the world laws become."
"So that's how it is," Evan muttered in a low voice and took a deep breath. He looked at the dungeon portal for a few seconds and asked Asher.
"Can you guess the power level of the essence clone who is inside the dungeon?"
Asher shook his head after listening to Evan.
"I can't be sure about his power level, but I'm certain that even though his rank is lower than mine due to the restrictions of this world's laws, he will still be able to defeat me without any problems."
"You can't beat him even though you are a rank one evolver?" Evan was stunned when he heard Asher because he thought that with his help it wouldn't be difficult for him to beat the essence clone who was inside the dungeon.
"Master, although it is just an essence clone the ego inside it still belongs to a powerhouse of Utopia so it is naturally impossible for me to beat him."
"If even you can't beat him then I guess it will be a troublesome problem," Evan muttered and fell into deep thought.
"Actually, it won't be too difficult for Master to kill him," Asher suddenly said.
Evan looked at Asher when he heard him and signalled him to continue to speak.
"Master, do you remember the orb that Nate used earlier?"
Evan raised an eyebrow and nodded his head with a confused expression on his face because he couldn't understand why Asher was asking such a question.
"That orb was actually an ability bead," Asher said in a serious voice. "After becoming a Core Evolver, you can use your essence to create an ability bead that contains one of your skills. The bead Nate used earlier must be created by the essence clone who is inside the dungeon."
"For an essence clone, creating an ability bead is not an easy task and after creating that ability bead, it must have become very weak."
"You mean..." Evan narrowed his eyes after hearing Asher.
Seeing how Evan was looking at him, Asher nodded his head.
"That essence clone will take some time to heal because of the backlash it received after creating that ability bead, if the master wants to kill it, you should head inside the dungeon before that essence clone fully heals and takes advantage of his weakened condition."
