Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 816 Burn! (Part 4)

Evan knew that it was simply impossible for him to kill a beginner-level and mid-level rank two vampire simply by using a fire bullet that was made just by using eighty points of his world essence.

But he wasn't concerned about it because there was a reason why Evan wanted to evolve Carnage and hoped to receive a skill that would allow him to create bullets using his world essence.

"Sacrifice five hundred thousand souls to increase the power of the bullet," Evan muttered and immediately lost five hundred thousand souls from his soul collection.

The moment he sacrificed five hundred thousand souls, the orange fire bullet turned deep red in colour, and its temperature reached a completely different level. The ground around Evan started to melt into molten lava, and plants instantly turned into ashes.

At the same time, Carnage's frame started to shake violently as if it would blow away at any moment, and it became extremely difficult for Evan to handle it. He had to use all of his spiritual power to handle the fire bullet, otherwise, it would have shot out of Carnage on its own.

When Evan was in the Arora world, he had an A-rank artefact called Moonlit Bow.

---) Moonlit Bow (A Rank): A bow carved from ancient moonwood, infused with lunar magic. When an arrow is drawn and released from the bow, it glows with soft silvery light, granting it enhanced accuracy and the ability to pierce through magical barriers. In the light of the moon, the bow's power is further amplified, and its arrows can channel moonlight to heal or weaken its target at the will of its owner.

Using this bow, he could create arrows by using his mana. During one of his fights, he created an arrow using the bow and increased its power using the Soul Absorption skill. (Chap-492)

At that time, because of the increase in power, it became quite difficult for him to control that arrow and just after firing it, the Moonlit Bow was completely destroyed because of the pressure that the Soul Absorption skill placed on it.

In a way, it was similar to what happens to Evan's body each time he uses the Soul Absorption skill to increase his powers.

At that time, Evan realized that even if he got a new artefact similar to the Moonlit Bow that he could use along with the Soul Absorption skill, he would be able to use it only once and it would be destroyed after that because of the pressure that the Soul Absorption skill places on the artefacts.

But not long after this incident, he connected Carnage with his growth link skill and found out that due to connecting Carnage to his growth link skill, it became an indestructible artefact.

Evan was quite shocked when he saw Carnage become an indestructible artefact, and a thought suddenly came into his mind.

'Since it's indestructible, doesn't it mean it won't be destroyed even if I use the Soul Absorption skill on it?'

When Evan realized this crucial thing, he was very excited, but then he encountered another problem.

Through Carnage, he couldn't create bullets using his Mana and could only fire normal bullets. Using the Soul Absorption skill, he couldn't increase the power of bullets that were not created using his mana, so even though Carnage was an indestructible artefact, he couldn't use it alongside the Soul Absorption skill.

Although Evan was sad after finding out about this problem, he was not overly disappointed because he thought that once he evolved Carnage, he might receive a skill that would allow him to create bullets using his mana.

Unfortunately, when he evolved Carnage into a pseudo S-rank artefact, he didn't receive the skill that he wanted. Although he did not receive the skill that he wanted, he was still quite happy because the Blood Bullet skill that he received at that time was also incredible.

After a few months, when he evolved Carnage into S-rank artefacts along with Boots Of Voidgazer, he once again didn't receive the skill that he wanted, and the only thing that changed about Carnage at that time was that its previous skills were strengthened a bit.

But when Evan evolved Carnage into a rank one artefact a few days ago, he finally received the skill that he wanted.

In fact, it was even better than the skill he wanted because using the elemental bullet skill, not only could he create bullets using his world essence, but he could even give them properties of fire or ice element.

Moreover, the best thing about Carnage is that he can control its bullets more easily compared to other artefacts even after increasing their power using the Soul Absorption skill due to its skill, Zephyr Precision, which allows him to control bullets' trajectory even after firing them.

"Fu*k, "It's harder than I thought..." Evan said as he squeezed out all of his spiritual and physical power to keep Carnage in its place, which was shaking crazily. The temperature of the fire bullet rose to a completely different level due to soul absorption, and it even started to burn his skin.

Evan felt a massive headache because of using all of his spiritual power to keep the fire bullet in its place, but even then, he did not lose focus and looked at Blake and the mid-level Rank Two Vampire who were standing some distance away from Carla.

"Temporal Velocity!"

The headache Evan was feeling reached the next level, and blood vessels started to bulge out in his eyes when he used Temporal Velocity while controlling overloaded Carnage. But because of using Temporal Velocity, everything in his eyes slowed down.

In slow motion, he watched as Blake opened his mouth and started to speak something to Carla. Once he confirmed his aim was perfect, Evan put his finger on Carnage's trigger, and his eyes flashed with fury.

"Let's burn some bitches, baby!" He said in a low voice and pressed the trigger.

The fire bullet was already desperate to leave the Carnage, so the moment Evan pressed the trigger...

Bang!

A loud booming sound echoed in thousands of kilometres of the area as the recoil tore apart the blood vessels in Evan's arms, causing him to slide backwards like a rag doll. Even while sliding backwards, he didn't lose focus and maintained his eyes on the bullet.

Due to the amount of souls that Evan sacrificed to overcharge the fire bullet, its speed exceeded that of light, and it instantly pierced Blake's head the moment he pressed the trigger. After piercing Blake's head, the fire bullet lost nearly thirty percent of its power and exited from the backside of his head.

Evan was still using Temporal Velocity, so the moment he saw the bullet coming out from the backside of Blake's forehead, he used the Zephyr Precision skill.

The moment he used the Zephyr Precision skill, the bullet suddenly made a solid U-turn after emerging from the back of Blake's forehead and pierced the head of the Mid-Level Rank Two Vampire who was standing beside Blake.

As soon as the fire bullet entered the mid-level rank two vampire's head, Evan stopped controlling it through his spiritual power, causing the bullet to burst into deep orange flames.

From the formation of the bullet to the piercing of the heads of the vampires, everything occurred in just a few seconds, leaving everyone, including the vampires themselves bewildered.

The power of the overcharged fire bullet was so strong that even before the vampires could use their power to resist the flame, their bodies turned to ash and they disappeared from the face of the world.
