Necromancer Of The Shadows-Chapter 1162 Against The Emperor Velgoth (Part 2)

The moment the fight started, Gobu immediately rushed towards Morvael, who similarly to him, was at mid-level Rank Four.

Morvael also chose Gobu as his target because in his eyes, other than Evan, there was no one else who could face him and since he couldn't fight Evan, he chose Gobu as his opponent.

Both of them were as fast as lightning, especially Morvael, who was proficient in assassination and had incredibly high agility. Their movements forward were so swift, it almost appeared as if they had teleported and they arrived in front of each other within an instant.

The wind howled and the sky cracked as Gobu swung his deformed arms, striking at Morvael with all his might.

The sheer power of the attack made the air tremble. However, to Gobu's surprise, Morvael didn't attempt to dodge or block his attack. Instead, he took a step forward, allowing his attack to land.

Gobu's massive arms, glowing with raw power smashed into Morvael's body—but the next second, Morvael's form exploded into a puff of black smoke and vanished, disappearing into the air.

At the same time—

Swish!

The space behind Gobu was ripped apart by a sharp dagger-like light, and from within the tear, a figure shrouded in black smoke emerged, slashing a dagger directly at Gobu's neck.

Caught off guard by Morvael's sudden disappearance, Gobu had no time to react.

The dagger moved like lightning, striking Gobu at his neck with frightening speed. However—

Clang!

The expected scene of blood flowing didn't occur. Instead, a metallic clanging sound rang out, and Gobu's body staggered slightly under the impact but remained unharmed.

Morvael's eyes trembled as he saw this, and he instantly realized his attack had been ineffective. Seeing a deformed arm swinging toward him again, Morvael swiftly disappeared once more.

Reappearing a few meters away from Gobu, Morvael's sharp eyes studied the Eldritch horror-like creature before him, his expression turning serious.

Due to the information Utharic and Nythor had provided, Morvael already knew that Evan's summoned undeads were strange—capable of distributing any damage they received equally amongst themselves.

But hearing about it and experiencing it firsthand were two entirely different things. When he had first learned of this ability, Morvael hadn't taken it too seriously. But now, after witnessing how an attack that should have severely injured Gobu had barely affected him, he finally understood how terrifying this ability truly was.

'Now I understand why His Majesty ordered us to deal with these undeads while he finishes off that invader. If these hundreds of thousands of undead, each capable of sharing damage among themselves were to try and stall His Majesty, there's a good chance they might succeed in buying the invader enough time to escape...' Morvael thought grimly, his initial desire to quickly kill Gobu and assist the other Eldritch creatures vanishing.

Now he simply wanted to stall Gobu until Emperor Velgoth killed Evan. Once the summoner died, the undeads would naturally disappear, so there was no need for him to exert himself.

Without a word, Morvael once again turned into a puff of black smoke and vanished from Gobu's sight.

His ability to hide was on an entirely different level from Mor'Zarak's, and he had full confidence that he could stall Gobu until Emperor Velgoth finished the job.

But Gobu, seeing Morvael vanish once again sneered and activated his Eyes of Abyss ability. The dozens of eyes on his potbelly began to spin like vortexes, and his vision changed dramatically. The world around him became black and white, with colourful auras swirling everywhere.

Almost instantly, Gobu spotted one particular aura trying to approach him from the side.

Upon noticing the aura, the mouths on top of his head began to cackle with dark laughter.

Crack!

Suddenly, Gobu's black skin split open and dozens of thick, writhing tentacles shot out from his body, lashing directly toward Morvael's hidden position.

"What—?" Morvael was stunned when the tentacles came straight for him, having never expected Gobu to locate him so quickly.

The tentacles moved like lightning, roaring through the air like whips. Morvael barely managed to adjust himself in time to dodge most of them and used his dagger to block a few of the strikes.

But there were simply too many tentacles to evade completely and several of them smashed into his abdomen and chest, sending him flying as blood splattered from his wounds.

"Fu*k..." Morvael cursed in mid-air, trying to control his body and turning invisible once again.

But to his dismay, Gobu seemed completely unaffected by his hiding skill. The eyes on his potbelly spun rapidly and it was as if Gobu could still see him clearly, charging at him relentlessly.

"Damn it," Seeing Gobu completely ignore his hiding ability, Morvael cursed, his face twisting into an ugly expression.

A faint sense of crisis engulfed him as Gobu's aura bore down on him, his twisted arms and tentacles lashing out at him like lightning.

Realizing his hiding abilities were completely useless, Morvael reluctantly stopped using them to conserve his energy.

His sharp dagger glowed faintly with a black aura, and just as Gobu's tentacles were about to hit him, he slashed with lightning speed, severing all the approaching tentacles in an instant.

However, before Morvael could feel any sense of victory, he watched in disbelief as the tentacles he had cut off regenerated almost immediately, and Gobu showed no sign of injury.

"ROAR!"

A beastly roar erupted from Gobu's mouth, and he charged toward Morvael once more, his monstrous body brimming with relentless energy.

"Fu*k, just what kind of undead is this?" Morvael cursed loudly, feeling his scalp tingle at the sight of Gobu's unrelenting approach and he had no choice but to engage with the undead monstrosity in a head-on battle.

Both of them moved like streaks of light, clashing thousands of times every second. The ground beneath them shattered, and space within hundreds of kilometres of the area itself tore apart as Gobu's twisted arms and tentacles collided with the sharp light of Morvael's dagger.

While Gobu and Morvael furiously fought, the other Eldritch Creatures and shadow undeads were also locked in vicious combat.

Utharic and Nythor, two beginner-level Rank Four Eldritch Creatures wore ugly expressions as they fought against six Rank Three shadow undeads.

Their frustration wasn't because they couldn't defeat their enemies, but because the six shadow undeads they were facing were the shadow undeads of the very Rank Three Eldritch Creatures they had brought with them to kill Evan.

These creatures were their subordinates but now turned against them as twisted shadow undeads and fighting against the undead versions of those they once commanded filled them with anger.

Meanwhile, Albelu, Hana, Eclipse, Aqua, and the other shadow undeads were also engaged in intense battles.

Thanks to Miss Spider's blessing, they managed to hold their ground, even when facing multiple opponents of similar rank.

They fought fiercely, their powers unleashed across the chaotic battlefield. Blood lightning crashed from the sky, water dragons rampaged, and black shadows darted through the chaos, occasionally beheading Eldritch Creatures with ruthless precision.

Within mere minutes, the stench of blood permeated the air, turning the atmosphere of the battlefield blood red.

But this phenomenon didn't last long as the ground itself soon absorbed the flesh and blood of the fallen Eldritch Creatures, leaving no trace of the carnage behind.

Evan and Velgoth observed the battlefield from behind, and after watching their armies clash for a few minutes, they turned to look at each other and in the next moment, both vanished from their positions.
