Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 633 Blood Bullet

---) Blood Bullet: Use 10% of your blood essence to create a bullet that can destroy 50% blood essence of the target upon coming into contact with their body. If your blood essence has the power of a bloodline within it, the blood bullet will carry the power of that bloodline. You can enhance the effect of the bloodline that the blood bullet will carry with it by sacrificing more of your blood essence while creating the blood bullet.

The blood of the hunters and the blood of the normal people are very different from each other.

As the rank of a hunter's core increases, his body also changes along with it. In order to sustain the power of the Core when its rank increases, the physiques of the hunters also become more powerful.

When the physiques of the hunters become powerful, it is natural that their bones, internal organs, flesh and blood also become far stronger than the normal people.

Unlike the blood of normal people, the blood of hunters contains a thing called Blood Essence.

This blood essence is the thing that makes the blood of the hunters different from the blood of normal people. In other words, the blood essence can be said to be the accumulation of all the blood energy of a hunter's blood.

If the blood essence of a hunter is extracted or destroyed, their blood will turn into normal blood.

Without the power of the blood essence, the body of the hunters will be greatly weakened and it would be impossible for them to use their full power without recovering their blood essence.

Even losing 10% of blood essence can reduce a hunter's power greatly because their body wouldn't be able to function normally without the power of the blood essence. So losing 50% blood essence will make most of the hunters incapable of fighting.

By using the blood bullet skill, Evan could destroy fifty percent blood essence of his target instantly, making them unable to fight. Not only that, the blood bullet will carry the effect of his Doom Bringer Bloodline with it that he can enhance by sacrificing his blood essence.

---) Current Effects of the Doom Bringer Bloodline: The power of all Shadow-type skills increased by twenty percent. All of your attack-type skills will now carry the essence of the Doom Bringer bloodline and will have a 0.1% chance of triggering an instant death effect regardless of your target's rank.

Currently, he can't infuse his skills inside the blood bullet so the effect where his bloodline increases the power of all of his shadow type skills by 20% was useless. Maybe, in future, when he increases the rank of the Carnage, he will be able to infuse his shadow type skills inside the blood bullet and will be able to use this effect, but for now, the only bloodline effect that the blood bullet can carry with itself is the instant death effect.

The chances of triggering the instant death effect were just 0.1%, but by sacrificing his blood essence while creating the blood bullet, he could increase the probability of triggering the instant death effect.

There was no exact answer as to how much the chance of triggering the instant death effect would increase after sacrificing his blood essence, but Evan knew that the more he sacrificed, the greater the chance of triggering the instant death effect would be.... And in order to increase the chance of triggering the instant death effect, Evan sacrificed 40% of his blood essence while creating the blood bullet.

In total, he lost 50% of his blood essence. 10% to create the blood bullet and 40% to increase the chances of triggering the instant death effect.

Of course, Evan was not a fool and knew he was taking a big risk by using 50% of his blood essence. But the reason he used 50% of his blood essence was because he was sure that he would be able to keep himself safe even after using 50% of his blood essence.

Once the blood bullet hits Clone, he would also lose 50% of his blood essence similar to Evan and it would take him a long time to recover that blood essence.

But Evan was different. It had already been one and a half hours since he had used the Death Transfer skill. After thirty more minutes, he would be able to use the Death Transfer skill once again... Losing his blood essence is also a type of physical injury so once he uses the Death Transfer skill, all of his lost blood essence will naturally recover and he will return to his perfect condition.

Even if the instant death effect of the bloodline doesn't trigger once Evan uses the blood bullet skill, all he will need to do will be to avoid Clone for the next thirty minutes.... and after thirty minutes when he fully recovers using the death transfer skill, he will be able to easily finish off Clone who will still be struggling because of losing fifty percent of his blood essence.

Evan's face turned pale white and his body became extremely feeble when he used fifty percent of his blood essence to create the blood bullet.

Red sparks flashed around the blood bullet that formed in front of the Carnage muzzle and looking at the small red bullet, Clone felt a deep sense of crisis engulfing his body.

Although Evan's aura dropped to the point where Clone knew he could easily kill him, he still felt a sense of danger like never before coming from the feeble aura of Evan.

Feeling the danger of death coming from the small bullet, Clone created a barrier of red fire around him.

Evan's breathing became rough after creating the blood bullet and he tried his best not to collapse before shooting the blood bullet.

When Clone created the fire barrier around him, Evan didn't show any kind of reaction and brought his finger on the trigger of the Carnage.

After fighting against Clone for more than one and a half an hour, Evan was already out of Shadow Energy and Mana. The only thing that was left inside his core was the small amount of world essence he had.

Suddenly, the world essence that was inside Evan's core disappeared and a black aura engulfed his entire body.

For the first time since he had received it, Evan activated his Authority, Master Of Shadows.

---) Master Of Shadows (Authority): Using your authority 'Master Of Shadows', you can give absolute effect to all of your skills. During the absolute effect, all of your skills will ignore 100% defence of the target, your skills won't be restricted by your rank and the chances of the critical hit increase by 75%. After activating the authority, the absolute effect of 'Master of Shadows will last for twenty seconds. Master Of Shadows Authority can only be used once a month and it requires world essence to activate.

The moment Evan activated the Master of Shadows Authority, a strange power engulfed his entire body and the blood bullet which was releasing red sparks in front of Carnage's muzzle.

For a moment, Evan felt like he could do anything after he activated his authority. The feeling of using authority was very different from the feeling he felt while using a skill.

It was like the Authority he just used was the higher form of the skills he normally uses.

This feeling was very strange but at the same time, Evan felt that if he could fully understand this feeling, he might be able to get something good out of it.

Although Evan wanted to immerse himself in this feeling, he knew he didn't have time for this. He forcefully stopped thinking about the authority he had just used and focused back on the red fire barrier in front of him.

"Does he think this cheap barrier can stop my blood bullet?" Evan muttered in a low weak voice and pressed the trigger.

Just as Evan pressed the trigger, the red sparks around the blood bullet clashed against each other, generating a powerful force that shot the blood bullet forward at the speed of light.

Under the effect of Master Of Shadows Authority, the blood bullet pierced through the fire barrier like it was made of paper.

"Arghhh," Not even a second had passed after the blood bullet had penetrated the fire barrier when Evan heard a heart-wrenching scream.

The fire barrier in front of Evan slowly cracked and shattered into countless motes of fire light.

Once the barrier disappeared, Clone's figure which was still covered in red fire appeared in front of Evan. On a closer look, Evan noticed a small bullet size hole right in the middle of Clone's chest.

Suddenly, the red fire Clone was accumulating to launch one last attack to kill Evan began to disappear and the aura around his body became extremely weak.

(50% blood essence of your target has been destroyed)

When Evan saw the notification, a small sigh of relief escaped from his mouth and he dropped Carnage to the ground as it was not easy for him to hold the weight of Carnage after losing 50% of his blood essence.

(Critical Hit)

One more notification flashed in front of Evan's retina, informing him about another effect of the Master Of Shadows Authority and finally, his lips curled upwards slightly.

"Since it is a critical hit and the blood bullet could trigger instant death effect..." Evan muttered in a weak voice and the next second...

(Instant Death Effect Of Your Doom Bringer Bloodline Triggered)

Suddenly, a black aura engulfed Clone's body. A look of horror crossed his face and before he could do anything, his eyes turned white and his life aura disappeared.

Thud!

The red fire around Clone's body completely extinguished and his body dropped to the ground.

Thud!

Evan also dropped to the ground and panted heavily. He looked at Clone for a few seconds and closed his eyes.

"If only I had my shadow undeads with me..." He muttered in a low voice and put Carnage back into his shadow storage.

He was about to lie down so that he could wait for the cooldown of his Death Transfer skill to end...But before he could lie down, Evan saw Clone's body start to break into motes of white light, and those motes of white light disappeared into the void.

"This_" When Evan saw what was happening, he remembered what had happened when he killed Elysia in the ruins of the Verdant Wilds Dungeon.

Similar to Clone's body, Elysia's body also started to disappear into motes of white light when he killed her. At that time, he had used Shadow Resurrection skill to stop Elysia's body from disappearing and turned her into a shadow undead.

But the current situation was way different than at that time.

"I don't have even a drop of shadow energy inside my Monarch Core so I can't use shadow resurrection on him for now," Evan muttered and quickly tried to put Clone's body into his shadow storage.

But when he tried to put Clone's body into his shadow storage, Evan was shocked to find out that he couldn't place it inside his shadow storage.

When he could not put the body into the shadow storage, he tried to place it into the storage ring but that was also useless.

In the end, Clone's entire body turned into motes of white light and that white light disappeared into void.

"Why do I feel like I just fu*ked up by letting that white light disappear into the void" Evan said to himself when Clone's body disappeared.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the entire dungeon started to shake.

"Damn it," Evan dropped to the ground because of the shaking of the dungeon and looked around him with a startled look on his face.

"What the hell is happening now?" He asked himself and tried to stand up. But because his body was very weak because of the loss of blood essence, he couldn't even stand up properly.

Woosh!

Suddenly, a strange power enveloped Evan's body. When Evan felt the power that enveloped him, he sighed in relief and relaxed his body.

"So the dungeon is closing and I am being sent out of here.." He said and closed his eyes.

Just when Evan's body was about to disappear from the dungeon, he thought about something and abruptly opened his eyes.

"Since I am being sent out of the dungeon, it must mean I cleared it..." Evan said and stood up like the loss of the blood essence was not affecting his body in the slightest. "....Since I cleared the dungeon there must be a clear reward, right?"

Evan started to look around like a hungry lion after standing up. In just a few seconds, his entire body turned transparent and he was about to disappear from the dungeon.

Although he was about to disappear, Evan did not find any reward for clearing the dungeon.

"Don't tell me I am not going to get anything even though I almost died here," Evan said in a depressed voice when he did not find anything.

Just when Evan's body was about to completely disappear, he suddenly noticed something on the ground.

Without caring about anything, Evan jumped forward and grabbed the thing that was on the ground.

The moment Evan grabbed the thing, a white light flashed and his body disappeared from the dungeon.
