Necromancer Of The Shadows-Chapter 1177 Another Primordial (Part 5)

"I wanted to turn the entire Azragoth World upside down before the people who want to capture you arrive and that Eldritch Horror was perfect for the job."

Hearing the last part of Velgoth's sentence, Evan took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"You are saying the people who want to capture me aren't from Azragoth World?"

"Of course not," Velgoth replied in a plain voice. "Do you think anyone in Azragoth World can threaten me? If those people were from Azragoth World, instead of trying to sabotage their plans by killing you, I would have killed them all directly."

Evan didn't respond immediately upon hearing Velgoth. Until now, he had believed the people who wanted to capture him were from Azragoth World, but it seemed things were more complicated than he thought.

"So, who are these people who want to capture me alive?" He asked after a brief silence.

"They are from the Origin Universe... and as for who they are, I can't say, or rather, I am not allowed to speak about it."

Evan's eyes narrowed at Velgoth's last words. "What do you mean?"

"I mean exactly what I said—I am not allowed to speak about them..." Velgoth paused after saying this and after a moment, opened his mouth.

"They are ■■■■■."

"Huh?" Evan raised an eyebrow as he sensed something odd. When Velgoth spoke, it seemed like some kind of power had obscured his last words, as if he wasn't permitted to speak about the topic.

"Now you understand what I meant when I said I am not allowed to speak about them..." Emperor Velgoth showed a helpless expression and shook his head.

Evan didn't say anything, instead falling into deep thought.

'This kind of strange power...' He thought to himself, then looked back at Velgoth.

"The people who want to capture me alive... they are related to a Primordial, aren't they?"

Hearing Evan, Velgoth stayed silent, simply staring back at him. Although he didn't speak, Evan already got his answer.

'So, the ones who want to capture me are really related to another one of the Primordials...'

He took a deep breath to calm his nerves, feeling increasingly confused. He couldn't understand why they wanted to capture him alive, or how Velgoth was involved with these people.

Moreover, from the way Velgoth reacted upon seeing him for the first time during his breakthrough to Rank Three, and the way he spoke, it was clear Velgoth had known about Azroth for a long time, almost as if he had been waiting in Azragoth World just for him.

'If I piece everything together, it seems like the people who want to capture me knew for a long time that I would one day come to Azragoth World...' Evan thought, a cold light flashing in his eyes and he felt like he was being played.

He thought of the black figure who created the portal on Earth that had sent him to Azragoth World, and the coldness in his eyes deepened.

'Is that bastard the one manipulating everything behind the scenes?'

Evan's gaze shifted back to Emperor Velgoth, who was looking at him silently and after a moment, he asked another question.

"You can't talk about the identity of the people who want to capture me alive, but surely you can talk about yourself, right?"

Hearing Evan's words, Emperor Velgoth showed a mocking smile and spoke in a self-deprecating tone.

"There is nothing special about my life. From the moment I was born, I have been trapped in this world—or rather, this prison—so I don't think there is anything worth mentioning about my life."

'A prison, huh...' Evan caught onto the significant word, and his eyes flashed.

"So, you and the other Eldritch Creatures were sent here long ago by the ones who want to capture me alive... and when you saw me during my breakthrough to Rank Three, you immediately informed them about me. But it seems there was some kind of friction between you and them afterwards, so after informing them, you decided to kill me and mess up their plans to capture me alive, correct?"

Evan kept his eyes fixed on Velgoth, and seeing the surprised look on his face, he knew most of his guesses were correct.

'Damn, what should I do now?' He rubbed his forehead, knowing that since Velgoth had already informed them, they would come for him soon.

'Since Velgoth is already at Rank Five, whoever comes next is likely to be even stronger...'

Evan's mind raced, and after thinking for a while, he asked another question.

"You were sent here long before I arrived. How did they know I would come here someday? Do they have some kind of future prediction ability?"

Velgoth shook his head. "Azragoth World is located between the Origin Universe and the Chaotic Zone. If anyone wants to cross the Chaotic Zone and enter the Origin Universe, they have to pass through Azragoth World. I don't think they have a future prediction skill. They were able to predict you would come here because it's necessary to pass through this world to cross the Chaotic Zone." freewebnøvel.com

"So you mean the reason they predicted I would appear in Azragoth World someday is because it's essential to pass through here in order to enter the Origin Universe?"

"Yes," Velgoth nodded.

'Hmm... so they don't have a skill that lets them see the future...' Evan thought to himself, and his eyes landed on the three tasks he had received after arriving in Azragoth World.

===

1. Kill Emperor Velgoth

2. Close the World Passage

3. Destroy the Artificial World, Azragoth

---) Reward for completing the tasks: Origin Essence, ???

===

Looking at the three tasks in front of him, Evan's lips curled into a cold sneer and he closed the status window.

'What a load of bullsh*t... Since I am going to do something, I will do it in my own fu*king way.'

He looked at Emperor Velgoth, whose powers were still sealed and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"Say, Velgoth, do you want to make a deal with me?"
