Chapter 776 Fear (Part 1)
Around half an hour after Evan and Cedar left, two people appeared at the location where Evan fought against the Bullbear. Both of the people who appeared were mid-level Rank Three Evolvers, with blood-red eyes and pale skin, indicating they were Vampires.
When they arrived, they saw many peak Rank Two monsters fighting against each other, while others, both mid-level and beginner Rank Two monsters, fled after sustaining injuries.
Seeing the Rank Two monsters battling, both vampires frowned. Their mid-level Rank Three auras erupted, causing all the Rank Two monsters to tremble and flee from the location.
"Another conflict between monsters..." One of the Vampires with light silver hair said while shaking his head.
"When I sensed the battle earlier, I really thought we found them," The second vampire, who had deep black hair said with a sigh.
"According to the information they escaped using an airship, and it disappeared around the Dark Forest. If we continue to search, we should be able to find them," The silver-haired vampire said and used his spiritual senses to scan the area.
"The reward for finding them is fifty million high-level essence stones, so we have to locate them before others do," The black-haired vampire said in a serious voice, and soon both vampires disappeared from there.
***
In a different area of the Dark Forest, a few hours after Evan killed the Bullbear, Cedar and Evan observed a group of sheep.
The sheep were covered in purple-green fur and had two horns atop their heads. One horn was green, while the other was dark purple.
There were a total of eighteen sheep in the group: three were mid-level Rank One, two were at the peak of Rank One, eleven were at the beginner level of Rank Two, and two were at the mid-level of Rank Two.
"What do you think?" Cedar asked, looking at the group of sheep.
"It won't be difficult to handle most of them, but... " Evan said upon hearing Cedar. "Are you sure about the two mid-level ones?"
"Although Wind and Lightning sheep are more powerful than normal monsters because of their high affinity with lightning and wind element, I can still handle the two of them with ease," Cedar said confidently when he heard Evan.
Evan wasn't surprised by Cedar's confidence, as he already knew he was not a normal Rank Two Core Evolver.
He looked at the group of sheep for a few more seconds and took a deep breath. "Since that's the case, I will go first."
"I can take care of the other Rank One sheep as well if you want," Cedar offered just as Evan was about to take action.
Evan smiled when he heard Cedar and took a step forward.
"Don't worry..." He said and his shadow began to shake. "I am not going to fight alone this time."
ROAR!
Just as Evan took a step forward, with a thunderous roar, the shadow undead of the Bullbear emerged from his shadow storage and shot an earth spear towards a peak Rank one sheep, killing it immediately.
After the Bullbear, Gobu, Elysia, Nekros, Eclipse, Snow, and a few more shadow undead who broke through to mid-level Rank One also came out and charged towards the group of sheep.
The eyes of the Beginner Level Rank Two sheep turned crimson red with anger when they saw some random Rank One monsters attacking them, and they were about to charge at them.
However, before the beginner-level rank two sheep could take action, Evan's eyes, including the sclera, started to turn black, and two notifications flashed before his eyes.
(You have used Authority, All Zero.)
(You have activated the soul harvest mode of the Reaper's Wrath skill)
Evan can use the active effect of the Reaper's Wrath skill once every two months. He still needed to wait for a few more days before he could use it as it was still on cool down, but using the authority, All Zero, he could use all of his skills without worrying about their cooldown time for the next fifteen seconds.
---) All Zero (Authority): Once activated, the cooldown time for all of your skills will return to Zero and will stay at Zero for the next fifteen seconds no matter how many times you use them. All Zero Authority can be used once every month.
All Zero is the Authority that Volac had awakened when he became a Rank One Core Evolver. Using the growth link skill, Evan took this authority so that he could use the Soul Harvest Mode of his Reaper's Wrath skill ahead of time.
Although Evan lost the Blessing Of Light Authority he took from Elysia due to taking All Zero Authority, he didn't concern himself with it for the time being, as he can switch the authority again after a few days.
At first glance, All Zero appears to be a normal authority, but it is actually a very high-level authority, especially for Evan.
Evan has skills like Death Transfer, which can heal all of his physical damage in an instant, but this skill has a cool-down time of two hours. If Evan uses All Zero Authority, he will be able to use the Death Transfer skill for unlimited times for fifteen seconds without worrying about its two-hour cooldown time and the same goes for his other skills as well.
After activating the soul harvest mode of the Reaper's Wrath skill, Evan immediately took a step forward and charged towards the group of Beginner Level Rank Two Wind and Lightning sheep.
"Shadow Possession!"
While charging, he used Shadow Possession, and the shadow undead of the Bullbear merged with Evan.
The moment Bullbear merged with Evan, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, and he instantly appeared before one of the Beginner Level Rank Two Wind and Lightning sheep.
His hand glowed with a light brown colour of earth, and using his terrifying strength stat, which was currently more than two hundred points, he punched the head of the Wind and Lightning sheep.
Evan's hand came into contact with the sheep's head and...
Bang!
With a loud bang, its head exploded like a balloon.
(Successfully harvested the soul of a Beginner Level Rank Two monster.)
(Your Agility increased by 14 points)
The 25% probability of harvesting souls by killing people who are at least two levels above him activated, and Evan's agility increased even more.
Feeling the new power coursing through his body, Evan smiled widely and looked at the other Beginner Level Rank Two Wind and Lightning sheep, making them shudder in fear.
The two Mid Level Rank Two sheep were also stunned when one of the Beginner Level Rank Two sheep was suddenly killed by Evan, but both of them soon came to their senses, and overwhelming killing intent emanated from their bodies, causing the ground around them to tremble.
Evan felt the killing intent of the Mid Level Rank Two sheep, but he didn't care about them as he knew Cedar would take care of them. And just as he expected, the moment the Mid Level sheep made their move, Cedar also took action and appeared between him and the sheep. He tapped one of his feet on the ground, and a giant earth wall rose high in the sky, separating Evan from Cedar and the two mid-level Rank Two sheep.
Evan looked at the earth wall and smiled a little. He glanced at the Rank One sheep and saw they were being attacked by his shadow undeads.
"Let's end this quickly before other monsters come here..." Evan muttered and looked at the ten remaining Beginner Level Rank Two sheep with a sinister look on his face.
The sheep were already scared of Evan after he killed one of them, so when they felt his ill intentions towards them, all of them subconsciously took a step back. Soon, however, all of them came back to their senses and were stunned that they felt scared because of a single person even though there were ten of them.
The eyes of all the Beginner Level Rank Two sheep turned red from anger and Wind and Lightning appeared around their bodies.
Evan felt amused when he saw this and his spiritual power started to move.
Mind Surpassion!
As Evan used the Mind Surpassion skill, his overwhelming spiritual power instantly froze the bodies of all the sheep and they felt a piercing pain in their heads.
It was the first time Evan had used the Mind Surpassion skill after becoming a Rank One Core Evolver, so when he used it, even he was surprised by the level of his spiritual power, which was currently out of this world because of the Shadow Possession skill.
He did not know why, but at this moment, Evan felt as if he could kill all the Beginner Level Rank Two sheep just by using his overwhelming spiritual power.
As this thought came into his mind, a black aura started to cover Evan's surroundings. Everything behind him turned black, and in the middle of the darkness, two deep red eyes opened.
The moment these two deep red eyes opened, all the sheep felt as if they were being looked at by a terrifying being, and their bodies started to shake.
Evan was surprised when he felt the sudden change in his skill and surroundings.
While Evan was still thinking what was happening a sudden notification flashed before his eyes.
(Mind Surpassion has evolved into Racial Skill, Fear)
