Necromancer Of The Shadows C.1122 Mor’Zarak (Part 1)

One hour before the Eldritch Army entered the Void Territory...

Illusia, Albelu, Eclipse, Nekros, Hana, Nihilus, and a few other shadow undeads, along with thousands of skeletons moved toward the deeper areas of the Void Territory.

The skeletons walking with the shadow undead were dragging forty dead bodies of the Eldritch Creatures who had entered the Void Territory to gather information.

A few kilometers behind the shadow undeads, a puff of black smoke, hidden from all of them was secretly following.

"Throw all of them right there..." After a few minutes of walking, Illusia instructed the skeletons, pointing toward a pit nearly ten meters wide and about one hundred meters deep.

"Shouldn't we bring them to Master so that he can turn them into our junior brothers?" Nekros asked in a confused voice when he heard Illusia's command.

"Use your brain, you muscle head..." Illusia responded in a plain voice. "Master is currently in the middle of a breakthrough and can't waste his energy to turn them. We'll have to wait until he finishes his breakthrough."

"Oh!" Nekros nodded his giant head at Illusia's explanation, but soon after, he once again spoke in a confused voice. "You told me to use my brain, but didn't we discover that none of us possess brains after becoming shadow undeads?"

Illusia and the other shadow undead fell silent at Nekros' words and their expressions twitched.

They all looked at Nekros with cold eyes, wanting to beat him up. The topic of brains was a sore subject for them. In the past, after discovering they no longer had brains after becoming shadow undeads, they had promised never to bring up the matter again.

Then why the hell did this bastard bring up such a cruel topic once more?

"Nekros, do you want to die?" Oli asked while gritting her teeth.

She had an IQ of 180 before she turned into a shadow undead, so losing her brain was a big blow to her. However, other than some simple-minded shadow undeads like Nekros and a few others, no one else believed she had a 180 IQ because the things she did before her death were just too stupid.

Nekros was once again confused when he heard Oli's cold voice, and he asked while scratching the back of his head.

"Aren't we already dead? How can you kill me again?"

"You—" Oli was stunned by Nekros' response and didn't know what to say.

Illusia and the other shadow undead also looked at Nekros strangely, feeling as if this guy was just pretending to be stupid to irritate Oli to death.

Nihilus and his skeleton army watched everything that was going on with a look of enjoyment.

No one knew where Nihilus got it, but he was even eating popcorn while watching the show. Though, all the popcorn he ate came out from the gaps between his ribcage.

Some of the skeletons moved quickly, picking up the popcorn that fell out of Nihilus' body and putting it back into his popcorn bucket.

Because he was eating and replenishing the popcorn at the same time, Nihilus' popcorn bucket became known as the "infinite popcorn bucket" among the skeleton army.

"All right, you guys, that's enough," Evan's shadow clone appeared as Oli was contemplating putting some kind of curse on Nekros.

Seeing Evan, Nihilus immediately put his popcorn bucket back inside his storage ring, deciding to save it for the next time he saw something interesting.

"You guys really like to bully poor Nekros, huh..." Evan said while shaking his head as he sat down on top of the five-meter-tall Nekros.

"Master, don't be fooled by this guy's innocent look. He's just pretending to be stupid," Oli said in an irritated voice while glaring at Nekros.

"Innocent look..." Evan glanced at Nekros' face from the corner of his eyes, and his mouth twitched.

Nekros was a cyclops with one big purple eye in the middle of his face, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and two canine teeth protruding from both sides of his mouth.

'I mean... From which angle does she think that's an innocent-looking face?' Evan thought to himself, but when he saw Nekros still scratching the back of his head with a confused expression, he nodded his head.

'All right, this guy is really innocent. I think I'll let him join Elora in the future so he can watch anime with her and learn some culture,' He thought and glanced at the puff of black smoke in the distance.

"You have been following my friends for quite some time now. Even when they gave you plenty of opportunities to attack, you did nothing and continued to tail them. At first, I thought you were trying to locate me before making a move, but even after finding me, you still don't seem inclined to act," Evan said in a voice filled with curiosity.

"Tell me, brother, what exactly are you planning? Because from the way you are behaving, it doesn't seem like you're here to cause trouble."

As Evan finished speaking, Oli and the other shadow undeads also directed their cold gazes into the distance. Thanks to the Void Territory, they had detected Xyrosk long ago, but Evan's shadow clone had instructed them to ignore him, so they took no action.

As all of them looked ahead, a puff of black smoke soon drifted toward Evan and stopped a few hundred meters away. After pausing, the smoke churned wildly before taking the shape of a humanoid figure, shrouded in darkness.

"Greetings, Lord of Monsters," The figure cloaked in black smoke bowed and spoke in a respectful tone.

Evan's expression turned strange at the title the Eldritch Creature used to address him, but he brushed it off and asked again, "So, what are you doing here?"

The Eldritch Creature took out a bottle of black blood from his storage ring and held it up for Evan to see.

"Lord of Monsters, I can help you lure the powerful Eldritch Creatures waiting outside into a trap," The creature said as the smoke around him began to dissipate.

As the black smoke completely disappeared, a two meters tall dark brown coloured creature with two bulging arms and a face resembling that of a human appeared there.

On the creature's face, there were three eyes—two positioned where a human's eyes should be and a third in the middle of both of the eyes. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

The central eye of the Eldritch Creature spun slowly like a whirlpool, emanating a strange and unsettling aura.

If Utharic or any other Eldritch Creatures could see Xyrosk's current appearance, they would have been shocked because Xyrosk was actually Mor'Zarak, the person who killed Xal'Thul.
