Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1409: Inside The Tomb

Inside the collapsed space of the Tomb of the Ancient, only the power of Nothingness existed.

After the Tomb of the Ancient collapsed because of Eldraker, Baphomet, and Azroth, its void space was engulfed by the power of Nothingness as without the support of material space, void space itself could not continue to exist.

Within this collapsed space, there were no rules governing the world, no laws, no light. Even the darkness that filled this place was merely a manifestation of the power of Nothingness.

At the center of this collapsed space, where only the darkness of Nothingness should have existed, a faint golden light could be seen in the distance.

If someone were to approach that golden light, they would discover that it was actually an altar covered by a faint golden barrier, with a black halberd enveloped in a golden halo plunged into its center.

The entire surface of the altar was engraved with strange runes, and among them, the rune at the very center appeared the most conspicuous.

Just by looking at that rune, one would feel as though they were being suppressed by something terrifying, something they could not resist.

It was as if they were being sealed by an unfathomable force.

If Evan were to see this rune, he would immediately recognize it as one of the Primordial Runes that he currently controls.

The Primordial Rune of Sealing.

However, unlike the Primordial Rune of Sealing that he used, which contained only a few strokes of the complete rune due to his insignificant power, this rune possessed more than three hundred strokes of the Rune of Sealing.

The complete Rune of Sealing consisted of five hundred and six strokes. Yet even by using only a few strokes to draw an incomplete version of the rune, Evan had been able to seal Eldraker’s powers for a few seconds, demonstrating just how powerful the Rune of Sealing truly was.

Since merely a few strokes were already so powerful, one could only imagine how terrifying a rune containing more than three hundred strokes of the Rune of Sealing would be.

Although this Rune of Sealing was extremely powerful, its current condition was far from good.

Numerous cracks spread across the entire rune, making it appear as though it could shatter at any moment.

In fact, it was not just the Rune of Sealing that was in poor condition.

Even the altar itself and the other runes engraved upon it were riddled with cracks.

And the reason behind the deteriorated condition of the runes was the black halberd embedded in the center of the altar.

Because Elora had lost control of her powers a few days ago, even the true Halberd of Destruction had been affected.

The Halberd of Destruction served as the core of this sealing formation.

When Elora lost control of her powers, the terrifying might of the Concept of the END damaged both the altar and the runes.

Even the Rune of Sealing, whose core concept was sealing itself, could not fully suppress this terrifying power of the END and suffered severe damage.

The result of this damage to the rune and the altar was something Evan had never anticipated.

When Evan had spoken with Azroth’s soul fragment inside the Tomb of the Ancient, he had been told that there were still six years remaining before the seal within the Tomb of the Ancient would break.

However, because of the damage caused by the power of the END, the Rune of Sealing had been heavily damaged, and the seal had already begun to weaken.

Although Elora regained control over her powers in a very short time, the damage inflicted upon the rune and the altar was irreversible.

As a result, the thing sealed inside the Tomb was already on the verge of breaking free.

Thump!

Suddenly, a loud sound, as though someone were striking a massive wall, echoed throughout the collapsed space of the Tomb of the Ancient.

The entire altar covered by the golden barrier trembled violently, and the cracks on the runes expanded slightly.

Even the barrier covering the altar had several cracks running across its surface.

Growl! Thump! Thump! - - - -

A strange growling sound rang out from within the altar, and the sounds of impact grew louder and more frequent.

One had to understand that the entire collapsed space of the Tomb of the Ancient was filled with the power of Nothingness.

In a place where nothing existed, sound should not have been able to travel any distance at all.

In fact, it should not have existed in the first place.

Yet the sound of those impacts seemed capable of ignoring the very rules of this place, echoing throughout the entire collapsed space of the Tomb of the Ancient.

At this very moment, the Halberd of Destruction embedded in the center of the altar released a terrifying storm of destructive power.

GROWWWWL!

A growl filled with endless pain and fury echoed throughout the surroundings, shaking the entire altar.

Even the power of Nothingness was affected and pushed back by the shockwaves produced by that roar.

The halberd continued releasing the power of Destruction for several minutes before finally calming down.

As it did, both the painful growls and the sounds of impact gradually disappeared.

However, if someone were to examine the altar closely, they would notice that because of the destructive power released by the halberd, the runes and the altar now possessed even more cracks than before.

They appeared as though they could collapse at any moment.

"Soon..."

Amid the endless darkness, a faint voice echoed.

The voice was incredibly weak, yet it carried an indescribably sinister feeling.

"It won’t be long before I escape from here."

As those words rang out, a violent aura briefly spread throughout the surroundings before quickly vanishing.

"And once I am free..." The voice paused for a moment, sounding as though it was suppressing boundless hatred and madness.

"The first thing I will do... is tear that little bitch apart."
