Necromancer of The Shadows

Evan thought about the memories he can unlock by climbing the Bloodline Inheritance Steps, and his eyes grew firm with resolve.

However, when he recalled that the memory he had just seen was revealed because he had completed the first level of Bloodline Assimilation, his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

'Do I need to complete the second Bloodline Assimilation to see another memory recorded in the steps?' He muttered under his breath, feeling distressed at the thought of having to climb a million steps just to initiate the second level of Bloodline Assimilation.

"I should stop thinking about it, or I might go crazy," Evan finally said, shaking his head to clear his thoughts and turn his attention back to the black figure.

"Since when has that bulky guy—Mythrenor's essence clone—been on Earth? And were you working with him?"

The black figure seemed slightly embarrassed at Evan's question and shook its head.

"I actually don't know when or how he came to Earth," It admitted. "Although I am the Will of Earth, I can't actively monitor every single person on the planet…" The figure paused before continuing.

"As for whether I was working with him, the answer is no. When the problem of the Eldritch Creatures arose, I needed someone to act as a liaison with the hunters on Earth. I wanted someone to keep me in touch with them so that I could alert them immediately if any issues related to the Eldritch Creatures came up. So, I chose the strongest hunter on Earth at that time to become my spokesperson and connect me with the others."

Evan's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this explanation and he asked in a speechless voice, "And the strongest hunter you chose just happened to be Mythrenor's essence clone?"

"I didn't know he was Mythrenor's essence clone," The black figure replied defensively. "Before you arrived on Earth, he didn't display any abnormalities. It was only after you came to Earth that he revealed his true nature."

Evan rolled his eyes, finding the black figure's explanation completely unreliable. "So, what was that guy doing outside the Blood Dungeon? Don't tell me you asked him to mess with me out there."

"Of course not!" The black figure exclaimed, shaking its head vehemently. "From the moment I realized he was an essence clone, I wanted to eliminate him. His powers were far too strong, and he posed a serious threat to Earth—not to mention the possibility of him destroying the Blood Dungeon in the process. However, even though I wanted to eliminate him, I couldn't do anything to him. Even if I mobilized all the power of Earth, it would have been useless against a mid-level Rank Three Core Evolver…" The black figure paused momentarily before continuing.

"Realizing it was impossible for me to deal with him, I decided to wait for your return. But before you arrived, it seemed Mythrenor's essence clone realized I intended to eliminate him, and he attacked me, aiming to completely wipe out my consciousness. However, because I control everything on Earth, I managed to unlock the sealed Blood Dungeon just in time and hid here before he could destroy me. Since the Blood Dungeon is a highly special place, even he cannot enter without my permission."

"So, what you are saying is, you got beaten by that guy and had no choice but to hide here?" Evan asked with a strange look on his face.

The black figure nodded, spreading its hands in resignation.

"I really don't know what that guy is planning, why he came to Earth, or why he wanted to stop you from entering the Blood Dungeon," The black figure admitted. "But I can confirm one thing…"

Evan's eyes narrowed as he waited for the black figure to continue.

The black figure looked at him and spoke in a serious tone. "I don't know what Mythrenor's essence clone was doing on Earth, but I can confirm that his real body is in Utopia. So, be careful once you go back."

Evan was stunned when he heard Mythrenor is currently in Utopia.

As far as he knew, aside from Anastasia, there were no Progenitors in Utopia.

Even after hearing about Lesentra and Mythrenor before, Evan hadn't paid much attention to them, believing that, like other Progenitors, they resided in the Origin Universe.

But now, the black figure is telling him Mythrenor is in Utopia, which truly shocked him.

"Are you sure he is in Utopia?" Evan asked, his voice serious.

"One hundred percent," The black figure replied confidently. "To come to Earth from the Origin Universe, one would need to open a World Passage, similar to the one the Eldritch Creatures were trying to open. Something like that would be impossible to hide from me. The only way Mythrenor could have entered Earth without my knowledge is through Utopia. Although there are many restrictions preventing people from Utopia from descending to lower worlds, there are still a few loopholes that can be exploited."

Evan nodded thoughtfully, recalling the high-level individuals Winterclaw occasionally sent to Earth, despite the general prohibition on powerful beings descending to lower worlds.

"Do you have any idea of his approximate strength?" Evan asked after a moment of silence.

The black figure shook its head. "I am so weak that I couldn't even defeat his essence clone. How can someone like me judge the strength of his true body?"

Evan frowned at this but didn't say anything as the black figure was right.

'I wonder if he is stronger than Anastasia…' Evan thought to himself, shaking his head to dispel the thought.

After asking a few more questions, most of which the black figure answered, Evan noticed the black figure suddenly toss a red token toward him. The token bore an image of a staircase leading into the sky, intricately engraved on its surface.

Evan caught the token and examined it closely.

"What is this?" He asked the black figure, finding nothing immediately remarkable about it.

"One of your rewards for completing the tasks in Azragoth World."
