Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1369: Desperate (Part 2)

Forget about Molar, who was suddenly ambushed by Turoon, even Evan was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Before the fight had started, when he pulled Turoon and Molar into the third layer of the void space, he had already anticipated that dealing with both of them would not be easy.

He had even prepared himself to use all of his Authorities in order to kill them.

There was no other way.

Although Evan was extremely strong compared to people of the same rank, the gap between a Rank Four Core Evolver and a peak Rank Five Core Evolver was simply too vast.

For Evan, killing people of the same rank was as easy as slaughtering roadside chickens.

But a peak Rank Five Core Evolver was an entirely different matter.

The only way for him to kill two peak Rank Five Core Evolvers at the same time was by relying on his Authorities.

After becoming a Rank Four Core Evolver and spending a significant amount of time with Anastasia inside her core world, many of the gaps in his knowledge had finally been filled.

Evan had always wondered why most of the opponents he had faced in the past did not use their Authorities. And even when some of them did, they usually only used one.

When he asked Anastasia about it, she had simply rolled her eyes and told him that it wasn’t that people didn’t want to use their Authorities—it was because they couldn’t.

And the reason they couldn’t use them was simple.

They didn’t have any Authorities.

That’s right, not every Core Evolver possesses an Authority.

According to Anastasia, there is only a possibility that a person may awaken an Authority after becoming a Rank One Core Evolver.

It is important to note that this is merely a possibility, not a certainty.

If a person fails to awaken an Authority after reaching Rank One, their chances of awakening one in the future become even lower. And after reaching Rank Three, if a person still does not awaken an Authority, then the possibility of them ever awakening one is almost zero.

Only a small minority of individuals with immense talent are able to awaken an Authority, and those who can awaken more than one are even rarer.

When Evan learned this, he was truly baffled.

For him, awakening an Authority had always seemed like a very normal thing.

Forget about Rank One, he had already awakened his first Authority when he had just become an A-Rank Hunter in the Arora World.

According to Anastasia, Authorities are powers capable of bending the very laws of the world.

For example, take the first Authority Evan had awakened—Master of Shadows.

====

—) Master of Shadows (Authority): By using your Authority, Master of Shadows, you can grant absolute effects to all of your skills. During this absolute state, all of your skills will ignore 100% of the target’s defense, your skills will no longer be restricted by your rank, and the chance of triggering a critical hit will increase by 75%. Once activated, the absolute effect of Master of Shadows lasts for twenty seconds. This Authority can only be used once a month and requires World Essence to activate.

====

There are three primary effects of the Master of Shadows Authority.

The first effect allows his skills to ignore one hundred percent of the target’s defense.

But what does it mean to ignore one hundred percent of a target’s defense?

Simply put, no matter what a person does, as long as the Master of Shadows Authority is activated and Evan’s attack successfully reaches the target, even if the target is protected by the power of laws, those laws will not be able to stop the damage inflicted by his skill.

As long as his attack lands, it completely ignores all forms of defense.

The second effect is that his skills ignore rank restrictions.

Normally, skills used by lower-rank Core Evolvers have very little effect on those of higher ranks.

However, under the effect of the Master of Shadows Authority, even if Evan were just a Rank One Core Evolver, he could still affect beings as powerful as Rank Six.

It completely erases the limitations imposed by rank.

The third effect, and by far the most terrifying is the 75% probability of triggering a critical hit.

On Earth, when Evan had entered the artificially created world Azragoth and faced the peak Rank Five creature named Groola, he had killed that being with a single punch.

It was all because of the Master of Shadows Authority.

At that moment, when he attacked Groola, the critical hit effect had been successfully triggered, resulting in Groola’s instant death.

For a peak Rank Five Core Evolver, even if their body is completely destroyed or reduced to dust, they can still regenerate using the power of laws.

After all, the body of a Rank Five Core Evolver has already been baptized by laws, transforming it into a body of laws rather than mere flesh and blood.

But even then, under the critical hit effect of the Master of Shadows Authority, Groola had died from a single punch.

That is the terrifying nature of Authorities, they can bend the very laws of the world and produce results that defy normal logic.

When Evan brought Turoon and Molar into the void space, he had originally planned to rely on his Authorities to deal with them.

But now, seeing Turoon suddenly attack Molar, Evan, who had been preparing to use his Authorities, paused.

“Bastard! What do you think you’re doing?!” Molar roared in fury as the surging power of laws around him forced Turoon backward.

Molar glanced at the hole in his chest, which was being ravaged by Turoon’s law power, and his expression turned grim.

Turoon ignored Molar’s furious shout and instead looked at Evan earnestly.

“My lord, please allow me to assist you in taking down this filthy demon. I only ask that you spare the innocent dragons living on the Dragon Islands.”
