Chapter 877 A Destined Massacre (Part 8)
'If you help me, I will not tell anyone that you entered the Tomb with Drayds and their hidden world is inside the Dark Forest.'
Evan felt as if his head was struck by a hammer when he heard Zorda and his mind went blank for a moment.
He tried to remain calm, but from the heavy look on his face, it was clear that his heart was far from calm. Zorda's lips arched upward when he saw the look on Evan's face and he did not try to hide the smile on his face.
"How did you find out about this?" Evan didn't care about Zorda's smile and asked while trying to maintain his composure.
He didn't waste his time pretending as if he didn't know what Zorda was talking about because from the way the demon was speaking, Evan was sure that he wasn't bluffing or anything and already knew about the hidden world of Drayds.
Hearing Evan, Zorda didn't answer his question and just looked at him with an amused smile on his face.
Evan felt frustrated when he saw Zorda's smile, but he didn't dare to act carelessly. He was fully aware that the current situation was pretty dire. If the news about the hideout of the Drayds spread out, many people would immediately try to attack them, especially the elves who were still looking for them because of the World Tree.
Even though the hidden world of Drayds was located in the central area of the Dark Forest, which was the territory of the overlord of the Dark Forest, he was sure that even the fear of a Rank Six monster wouldn't be able to stop the people who would come after the Drayds.
"So, will you help me now?" Evan heard Zorda's playful voice and came out of his thoughts. The smile of the blue-skinned demon was really disgusting in Evan's opinion, but he didn't comment on it and took a deep breath.
"Before I decide anything, tell me how did you find out about all this?"
Even though he wanted to kill the demon in front of him immediately, Evan needed to know how he found out about the Drayds and whether he was the only one or there were other people as well who knew about the Drayds.
If the demon is the only one, then he will just have to kill him somehow and the problem will be solved, but if there are other people as well, then he will have to think of a different method to stop them from spreading the news about the hidden world of Drayds.
Cedar and Sylvan had helped him a lot since he arrived in Utopia, and he didn't want anything to happen to them. Moreover, the hidden world of Drayds was a perfect place for him to grow in power for the time being. Currently, he was wanted throughout Utopia because of the bounty that the Bloodmoon Auction house placed on his head.
If the hidden world of Drayds really got exposed, it would be very troublesome for him as he would lose the only place where he could stay safe without any problem.
Zorda looked into Evan's serious eyes and could feel that if he didn't tell him how he found out about Drayds, he wouldn't cooperate with him.
"I received this information from one of my subordinates. Though I don't know who gave him this information because before he could tell me everything, he was killed by someone."
"You are lying," Evan immediately said in a cold voice upon hearing Zorda.
Zorda was about to say something upon hearing Evan, but he noticed Evan's eyes were spinning like swirling voids as if he could see through all of his lies.
Evan was using the Eyes of the Abyss ability which could perceive hidden truth, so he immediately noticed that Zorda was lying to him.
Noticing that Evan could tell whether he was telling the truth or not, Zorda stayed silent for a moment before he sighed and smiled once again.
"To tell you the truth, you are the reason I was able to find out about the Drayds."
Evan was stunned when he heard Zorda and a forbidding feeling started to grow in his heart because he could tell this time Zorda was telling the truth.
"What do you mean?" He asked while trying to hide his anxiety.
Zorda noticed Evan's anxiety, but he didn't care about it and continued.
"A few days ago, I saw something very interesting. Do you know what it was?"
Zorda didn't wait for Evan to answer his question and continued speaking.
"I saw a beginner-level rank two woman moving with a black-coloured sheep."
'Carla,' Hearing Zorda, Evan immediately thought about Carla, whom he had saved from the vampires and gave a wind and lightning sheep to use as a mount.
He immediately used his connection with that sheep and found the sheep had already died more than half a month ago. It died during the time he was inside Octavius's cave dimension.
The reason Evan didn't realize the sheep died was that when he was in the cave dimension, many of the members of Team Black were scattered in the second layer of the Tomb, and from time to time, they were being killed by the high-level monsters and because of it, it was impossible for Evan to keep a record of all the shadow undeads that died.
Evan tried to remain calm after realizing Zorda met Carla, but it was impossible for him to remain calm after realizing this.
"After seeing that woman moving with a black sheep, I suddenly thought about the rumours I heard about you. From my subordinates, I heard the person who stole the Enlightenment Stone from the Bloodmoon Auction house is also inside the Tomb and is moving while riding a Beginner-Level Rank Two black-coloured sheep," At this point, Zorda's smile widened, and he said while looking at Evan.
"The bounty on your head was quite big, so I thought about asking her about you since she was also moving with a monster similar to you, but oh boy, that woman refused to tell me anything and even tried to fight against me..." Zorda said, and his smile turned completely hideous. "And you might not know this, but those who try to fight against me only hav—"
"Hey, demon."
Zorda stopped speaking midway because he was interrupted by a cold voice that sent shivers down his spine. He looked at Evan and noticed for some reason, his eyes were closed.
"Where is Carla?" He heard Evan's cold voice again, and a bad premonition started to grow in his heart.
