Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 967  One vs Three (Part 1)

"What are you all goblins doing in this place?" Evan asked the beginner-level Rank Three Eldritch Goblin.

Upon hearing Evan, the Eldritch Goblin started to make weird sounds. Hearing the sounds the Eldritch Goblin was making, Evan didn't show any surprise and listened with a serious look on his face.

The Eldritch Goblin couldn't speak normally, but now that it was Evan's shadow undead, Evan could easily understand it even if it couldn't speak like his other shadow undeads.

After hearing the Eldritch Goblin's answer, a deep frown appeared on Evan's face.

"What do you mean you are not doing anything here and just wandering around?" He asked with a strange look on his face when the goblin told him they were just walking in this space for countless years without any goal.

"This closed space is very small and most of the Eldritch Goblins who live here have already explored it. After exploring this closed space, we discovered that other than us, no one else lives here, so we don't have anything to do and we all just walk around all day long without any goal in mind," The Eldritch Goblin replied to Evan's question by making the same weird sounds and continued.

"Moreover, our minds also stay in a chaotic state due to the Eldritch Energy, so even though we have been living here for countless years without doing anything, we don't feel anything as the flow of time is completely useless for us and we don't feel anything even though we have been living here for a long time."

'What kind of messed-up life is this?' Evan narrowed his eyes when he heard the Eldritch Goblin and asked the question he was most curious about.

"How did you enter this space?"

Although Evan didn't know how Azroth created this pillar of light, he knew entering it was not an easy task.

Before he arrived at the pillar of light, Baphomet and Eldrakar also tried to enter it but even they were not able to, so he was really curious about how these goblins successfully entered the pillar of light.

When the Eldritch Goblin heard Evan's question, it shook its head and said in a confused voice.

"I don't remember how I came here. I just have vague memories that before turning into an Eldritch Goblin, I was a normal Goblin. I don't know what happened, but if my guess is correct, most of my memories disappeared after I became an Eldritch Goblin in the past."

Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard his shadow undead. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"A normal Goblin, huh..." He opened his status window and looked at the information that he had received about the Eldritch Goblins when he created Gobu.

---) Origin Of Eldritch Goblins: Eldritch Goblins are a mysterious and formidable breed of goblins that have been profoundly influenced by eldritch energies and otherworldly forces. Eldritch Goblins typically inhabit areas close to ancient, unstable portals or sites where the boundaries between dimensions are thin. These unstable portals often leak unstable energies. Exposure to these energies has warped normal goblins' bodies and minds, granting them supernatural abilities that allowed them to break through their racial limit.

After looking at the information, Evan glanced towards the black area where he was heading and frowned deeply.

'Could it be that there is an unstable portal or something there that leaks Eldritch Energy?' Evan wondered inwardly, trying to see what was behind the black smoke and why he was sensing Elora's presence from that area.

The shadow undead of the Eldritch Goblin noticed Evan's focus on the area covered in black smoke and began to speak once again.

"Master, that is the place where the three strongest Eldritch Goblins live."

"Hmm?" Evan stopped looking at the black area upon hearing his shadow undead and said in a sharp voice, "Tell me more."

"I don't know much since we are not allowed to go near that black area, but as far as I know, three Eldritch Goblins live there and all three of them are different from the normal Eldritch Goblins."

"Different? How so?"

Evan's shadow undead didn't answer immediately, as if it was thinking about how to explain.

After a moment of contemplation, the goblin finally spoke.

"Unlike me and the other Eldritch Goblins who wander around without any goal, the three Eldritch Goblins that live near the black area are different and they never leave that place. I saw them only once when I accidentally wandered near the black area, but upon looking at them, I noticed their eyes were not lost like ours. Their eyes were like yours, with a clear goal in mind as if they wanted to achieve something by staying near that black area."

'A goal in mind...' Evan frowned when he heard his new shadow undead and once again looked towards the black area.

"And one more thing, master," The Goblin suddenly spoke again, attracting Evan's attention.

When the goblin saw Evan looking at it, it continued in an uncertain voice.

"I am not one hundred percent sure, but I have a feeling that those three can control the other Eldritch Goblins. When I wandered near the black area, one of them saw me and when it ordered me to leave, I couldn't resist its command even for a second. It was as if my body moved against my will, and I left that area without any resistance."

Evan fell deep into thought upon hearing this and asked after a while.

"What is the rank of these three goblins?"

He didn't really care whether these three Eldritch Goblins had the ability to control other goblins or not, as he had his own shadow undeads. If they tried to fight against him with numbers, he would just release all of his shadow undeads.

Hearing Evan's question, the shadow undead of the goblin answered after thinking for a second.

"Among those three, one is a beginner-level Rank Three, one is mid-level, and the last one is a peak-level Rank Three."

After answering, when the goblin saw Evan's strange expression, it quickly explained.

"Master, these three goblins are not normal. Even though not all of them are at the peak of Rank Three, even the beginner-level one is not normal. When I saw it for the first time, I felt that even five of me wouldn't be able to defeat it."

Upon hearing the Goblin, Evan's expression turned serious and he realized that if what his shadow undead said was true, then it wouldn't be easy for him to deal with these goblins.

After thinking for a while, Evan took a deep breath and looked back towards the black area.

'Since these three are different from other goblins, then maybe, I will be able to get some good information from them.' He said inwardly and after pondering for a while, his eyes turned sharp.

He thought about a few things that he could use in case of danger and once he was certain about everything, he started to move towards the area filled with the black smoke.

While Evan moved towards the black area filled with smoke, his shadow undeads took care of the Eldritch Goblins that tried to block his path.
