Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 760 Escape (Part 6 End)

?"Fu*k, just kill me already." A loud voice rang out amid the barren land as a black-coloured skeleton stomped down on the head of a brown-coloured elf who was covered in blood.

Lucian, Thomas, Arden, and Solara looked at the scene with twitching mouths and felt pity for the elf who was being beaten by the black skeleton.

"That's right, Nihilus, stab some bones in his arms and legs, make sure he understands the consequences of messing with me."

Lucian and the others glanced sideways and saw Evan cheering Nihilus with a cruel expression on their faces.

"Hey, it's been twenty minutes already. I don't care if you want to torture him for the rest of your life, but give us the Enlightenment Stone so that we can leave," Lucian suddenly said to Evan, who was cheering Nihilus.

When Evan heard Lucian, he stopped cheering and looked at them.

"Just a few more mi—"

Before Evan could finish speaking, Thomas's eyes flashed with blood light, and he said in an ice-cold voice, "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the Enlightenment Stone in your hand. I will give you one minute to finish whatever you want to do. If you don't return the Enlightenment Stone in one minute, I will rip off your head regardless of what you do with the storage ring."

Arden and the others didn't say anything when they heard Thomas, as they were also reaching their limits. All of them were high-level core evolvers and were respected in the Star City. They had already compromised by giving Evan their storage rings, and now he was getting on their nerves.

Evan looked at handsome Thomas whose eyes were flashing with red light and clicked his tongue.

"What a sassy child..." He muttered in a low voice and slowly walked towards Cedar.

Although Evan muttered in a low voice, Lucian and the others still heard him because of their excellent hearing. Hearing Evan's words, Thomas's whole body shook with anger and he almost attacked him.

'Let's see if you will still act arrogantly after I catch you...' Thomas said to himself with a cold look on his face as he watched Evan stopping in front of Cedar.

After coming in front of Cedar, Evan signalled Nihilus to stop.

'Just two more minutes...' Evan said inwardly as he looked at Cedar, who was covered in wounds.

"If you hadn't attacked me earlier, this would have never happened..." Evan said and punched Cedar's stomach.

"Arghh..." Cedar groaned in pain and started to cough out blood. He looked at Evan with hate-filled eyes and opened his mouth to speak.

"I don't want to hear your nonsense."

But before he could speak, Evan once again punched him, making him cry out in pain.

One after another, Evan continued to attack different parts of Cedar's body, turning him into a punching bag.

"You have thirty seconds left..." Evan suddenly heard Thomas's voice and paused for a moment.

He pulled out one of the bone spikes that Nihilus had stabbed into Cedar's hand and looked at it carefully. After examining it for a moment, he suddenly stabbed it into Cedar's stomach.

"Arghhhh," Cedar roared in pain, and his entire body started to shake as if he were electrocuted.

'What a cruel bastard...' Solara and the others thought when they saw what Evan was doing.

On the other hand, Evan's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he saw how Cedar's body was shaking.

'Oy, don't tell me you are really feeling the pain?' Evan asked, seeing how Cedar's body was still shaking.

'Huh, pain?... What pain?' Evan heard a confused voice in his head and sighed in relief.

'It seems he is just acting...' Evan said inwardly and once again stabbed the bone spike into a different part of Cedar's stomach.

"Arghh..." Similar to before, Cedar once again writhed in pain and continued to cry out in a voice filled with agony.

"Ten seconds..." Thomas didn't care about what Evan was doing and said in a loud voice.

When Evan heard Thomas, he took a deep breath and stood up.

"This should be enough..." He muttered in a low voice and threw away the bone spike that was in his hand.

After discarding the bone spike, he turned around and looked at Lucian and the others with a calm expression.

"Since you guys kept your promise, I will do the same and will return the Enlightenment Stone," He said and threw the storage ring towards Lucian. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

Lucian and the others were shocked when Evan returned the Enlightenment Stone so easily and looked at him with wide eyes.

Although Lucian was stunned, he still caught the storage ring.

After catching the storage ring, Lucian looked at Evan with narrowed eyes, wondering what he was scheming now.

Evan maintained a calm look despite the looks that Lucian and the others were giving him.

"Look inside..." Arden said after a moment and Lucian finally looked inside the ring.

When Lucian examined the ring, his entire body trembled and he looked at Evan as if he was looking at a madman.

"What happened?" Arden asked in a stunned voice when he saw Lucian's expression and locked down his aura on Evan so that he couldn't escape.

"You bastard... Are you messing with us?" Lucian roared in anger as he took out a normal-looking rough black stone with "Enlightenment Stone" written on top of it.

Arden and the others were dazed when they saw a regular stone labelled as "Enlightenment Stone" and did not know what to say.

They all looked at Evan and saw he was smiling at them, even though Arden's aura was completely locked on him.

"You did well, Illusia. You can go back now," Evan ignored the shocked looks of Lucian and the others and said to Cedar who was on the ground.

As Lucian and the others were still reeling from the revelation of the fake stone, they suddenly saw a dark shadow covering the ground around Cedar, and he sank inside.

"Sh*t, they tricked us..." Arden suddenly realized something and instantly appeared in front of Evan.

Seeing Arden appear in front of him, Evan just smirked. "It's already too late, my friend," He said as his entire body turned into black smoke, disappearing from the spot, leaving behind the mask that Cedar gave him when they entered the Star City.
