Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1214  Ice Disaster! (Part 1)

"Help!"

The sudden cry for help jolted Evan back to his senses, and he saw Velgoth plummeting from the sky, powerless and unable to stop his fall.

Seeing him falling, Evan's eyes flashed with a hint of green, and the surrounding cold wind gathered around Velgoth, lifting him back up into the sky.

"Can't you just unseal some of my powers? It's not like I can beat you even if I want to," Velgoth spoke in a trembling voice, feeling the cold wind invading his body, slowly freezing him from the inside.

Evan completely ignored Velgoth's plea, his attention fixed on the frozen surroundings and the icy mist swirling in the air. His face was filled with astonishment.

'Just what the fu*k happened here...' He thought to himself and immediately activated his spiritual senses to scan the entirety of Earth.

Upon using the spiritual senses, what he found shocked him to the core.... Ice!

A lot of ice!

The entire planet, including all the seas, was covered in a thick, impenetrable layer of ice. If looked at from space, Earth would appear as nothing more than a massive frozen ball.

The ice element was so overwhelmingly active that even with his immense physical capabilities, Evan could feel the biting cold slowly creeping into his body, as if trying to freeze him.

Seeing such a dense amount of ice element all over the earth, Winterclaw's image immediately came to Evan's mind as he was the one who had opened portals on Earth before he left for the Azragoth World.

"Damn, I hope everything is okay..." He muttered quietly, his brows furrowing in worry as he focused on searching for any signs of life through his spiritual senses.

Soon, through his spiritual scan, Evan found all the base cities and the locations where humans resided. To his surprise, each city and settlement was enveloped in a deep green barrier, radiating an extraordinary amount of vitality that shielded the inhabitants from the biting ice element surrounding them.

But that wasn't all. In one of the corners of the earth, Evan noticed a massive phantom of a Tree, covering the sky with its grand presence.

Because of the thick icy mist blanketing the area, Evan hadn't noticed it earlier, but now that he had, the sight left him completely stunned.

"Is it... the World Tree?" Evan immediately recalled the small tree he had once seen in Sylvan's cave and wondered if it could be the same.

However, he quickly dismissed that thought because unlike the World Tree, this tree felt different—and it had a very strong aura of vitality.

Near the colossal phantom of the tree, Evan sensed both Elysia and Zorda's auras. What shocked him even further was that the terrifying cold energy spreading across the entire planet seemed to be emanating from that very location.

"What the hell have these troublemakers done while I was away..." Evan muttered under his breath, feeling exhausted.

He immediately began moving towards the source of the disturbance, with Velgoth in tow.

The reason he was sure the problem stemmed from his own shadow undeads was that none of them had come to greet him since his return. Not only that, but they were clearly attempting to conceal their presence as much as possible as if hoping to avoid his attention.

'These idiots are pretending to be dead...' Evan sighed inwardly, already envisioning a scenario where Elysia and Zorda would start blaming each other like careless employees, hurling accusations and telling him that it was all the other's fault.

'The only silver lining to this icy disaster is that all the portals Winterclaw opened on Earth are now frozen beneath this overwhelming amount of ice element...' Evan thought to himself as he halted in front of the massive Tree of Life's phantom, his expression one of shock and surprise.

"Such strong vitality... Could this be the Tree of Life?" Evan muttered, uncertain, as he glanced down at the mist-covered ground beneath the tree.

The icy mist was so thick it obscured even his sharp vision, which could normally pierce through most illusions.

"How long do you two plan on playing dead?" Evan called out, his voice calm as he addressed the mist-covered area.

As soon as his words left his mouth—

Swish!

A flash of golden light tore through the dense icy mist as if someone had swung a baseball bat made of pure light to clear it away and in the next moment—

"You bi*ch!"

A scream echoed through the air as Zorda came hurtling towards Evan, completely out of control.

Evan's mouth twitched when he saw this because, for a brief second, when the golden light had flashed and torn through the mist, he had caught a glimpse of Elysia standing there, holding a staff of light.

It was obvious she had sneak-attacked Zorda while he was distracted, smashing him from behind with the light staff and launching him into the air towards him.

"As time passes and her rank increases, she's becoming more and more of a troublemaker child..." Evan muttered under his breath, his mouth twitching as he extended his hand to catch Zorda, who was clearly pretending to have lost control of his body, aiming to fly past Evan and escape into space.

Zorda's face turned extremely gloomy when Evan caught him, his gaze filled with resentment as he glared down at Elysia, clearly wanting to curse her.

Evan, however, paid no attention to Zorda's distressed expression and instead asked in a serious tone, "What's going on?"

"Master, it's all Elysia's fault! She's the one who summoned this malfunctioning tree and performed that strange ritual on Valery..." Zorda immediately ratted out Elysia without a second thought.

Evan's eyes narrowed at the mention of Valery and a sense of unease began creeping into his mind, reminding him of his earlier suspicions about her possibly being connected to the Primordial Loli.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm the rising anxiety, and descended to the ground.

'I have been fighting one problem after another ever since I left the hidden world of the Dryads and was sent here. There's no way the god could be cruel enough to throw yet another disaster at me, right?' He thought, attempting to convince himself that he was overreacting.

But as soon as his feet touched the ground and he saw the scene before him, his face stiffened, and only one word escaped his lips.

"Fu*k!"
