Necromancer Of The Shadows C.985 Leaving The Tomb (Part 9—Last)

Azroth held the drop of Origin Essence above his palm and dropped it on top of the handle of the Halberd of Destruction.

The moment the Origin Essence came into contact with the halberd, it absorbed it, and a terrifying pressure covered the entire altar.

Evan felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the halberd in front of him with a shocked expression.

Although the pressure emitted by the halberd lasted only for a brief second, Evan couldn't help but gulp down his saliva because in that brief second, he felt a pressure that could destroy anything.

That pressure was on par with, if not stronger than, Eldrakar and Baphomet's. As the halberd received the energy of the Origin Essence, the runes engraved on the altar started to glow madly as if they had just received a powerful tonic.

The runes engraved on the altar absorbed the energy of the halberd continuously, but the energy contained inside the drop of Origin Essence was vast. Even though the formation was absorbing its energy without stopping, it didn't affect the Halberd of Destruction.

Evan also showed a joyful look because he could feel his connection with the halberd, which had been weakening with each passing second, now stabilizing and slowly growing stronger.

The Halberd of Destruction continued to refine the drop of Origin Essence, and around three minutes later, the formation that had been glowing madly returned to normal and stopped absorbing the Halberd's energy.

As the formation stopped absorbing its energy, the halberd's recovery speed increased even more, and soon Evan's connection with the halberd reached the level it was at when he first met Elora. But even after reaching this level, it didn't stop, and the connection continued to grow stronger.

It was obvious that the energy provided by the drop of Origin Essence held a massive amount of power and recovered quite a bit of the halberd's strength.

Around five minutes later, the halberd finally refined the whole energy and stopped glowing. Once the halberd refined the Origin Essence, Evan noticed its frame became shinier than before, and the aura coming out of it was stronger than before.

"Although this aura is nothing compared to the aura that I felt in my dream, it is still better than ordinary Rank Three weapons," Evan muttered to himself as he looked at the jet-black halberd.

After looking at the halberd for a few seconds, Evan shifted his attention towards Azroth, whose body had turned completely transparent.

From his condition, Evan could tell that he was about to disappear, so he quickly asked, "Can I take the halberd with me now?"

Evan thought that now that his connection with the halberd had stabilized, it shouldn't be a problem for him to take the halberd with him. But to his surprise, Azroth shook his head upon hearing him.

"You still can't take the halberd with you."

Evan's face darkened when he heard Azroth, and he asked with a frown, "What do you mean?"

Azroth didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at the runes that surrounded the halberd and spoke after a moment. "If you take the halberd with you, the sealing formation will lose its effect, and the passage that is sealed here will be unlocked—"

"I already told you I don't care about this passage. I am not going to leave Elora here."

Azroth shook his head hearing Evan and said in a calm voice, "I am not asking you to leave her here."

Evan raised an eyebrow hearing Azroth, and motioned for him to continue.

Azroth pointed towards the halberd and asked Evan to place his hand on it. Evan was unsure what Azroth wanted to do, but he listened and walked towards the halberd.

Upon coming in front of the Halberd, Evan clearly felt his connection with the weapon was far stronger than before.

'Father.'

Suddenly, Evan heard a weak voice inside his head, and his face brightened.

'Elora, are you all right?' He asked anxiously because Elora's voice sounded quite weak.

'I am fine. I just need to recover for some time, and I will be back to normal.'

Evan sighed in relief when he heard Elora and wanted to ask a few more things, but before he could, Azroth interrupted him.

"You can talk to her later. I don't have much time left, so hurry up and place your hand on the halberd."

Evan's eyes twitched when Azroth interrupted him, and he muttered in a low voice, "This guy is just jealous because Elora didn't talk to him."

Although Evan's voice was low, Azroth clearly heard him, and his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Evan didn't care about the blank stare Azroth was giving him and placed his hand on the halberd.

"What should I do now?" He asked after placing his hand on the halberd.

"Inject your spiritual power into the halberd."

"Spiritual power?" Evan frowned when he heard Azroth and said in an uncertain voice, "My spiritual power was exhausted earlier, so I don't have much power to inject into the halberd."

Azroth shook his head hearing Evan and said in a cold voice, "Just do it. I will handle the rest."

Evan didn't understand what Azroth wanted to do, but he listened to him and started to pour his spiritual power into the halberd.

Because his spiritual power was already exhausted, in less than five seconds, Evan started to feel dizzy, and his spiritual power was completely spent.

Just when he was about to stop, he felt a surge of energy entering his body, recovering his spiritual power.

Evan looked at Azroth and saw his transparent body breaking apart, entering his body, and replenishing his spiritual energy.

Evan didn't say anything when he saw this and continued to pour spiritual energy into the halberd.

After a few seconds, Evan suddenly felt something break free from the Halberd and enter his body. The moment he felt this, Azroth, who was providing him energy stopped and his body began to disappear.

Before he completely vanished, his words rang out inside Evan's mind.

"You just have six years. After six years, the formation will be destroyed, so become strong enough before that."

Evan was stunned when he heard Azroth's words and wanted to ask what was going on, but before he could ask anything, Azroth completely disappeared and a silver light covered his body.

Evan looked at the silver light that enveloped him and, in the next second, he disappeared from the Tomb.
