Necromancer of The Shadows

"How long are you planning to pretend? Do you think I am blind and can't see what you are doing?"

When Utharic and Nythor heard Evan's words, they were startled and stopped discussing how to break free from the barrier.

They looked at Evan with confusion on their faces, as if they couldn't understand what he was talking about.

Evan's expression remained unchanged when he saw their confused looks, and he spoke while staring directly at Nythor.

"I didn't expect to meet a Rune Master here."

Upon hearing Evan's words, Nythor and Utharic stared at him for a few seconds before the confused expressions on their faces disappeared, replaced by cold, murderous looks.

"How did you find out?" Nythor asked in a cold voice.

"I also have some experience with Runes, so after seeing the way you were moving your hooves in that strange manner, it was not difficult to guess," Evan replied calmly, his eyes fixed on Nythor's lower body, which was similar to that of a horse, and how he was secretly moving his hooves as if trying to engrave something on the ground.

Nythor was shocked when he heard Evan mention he had some experience with Runes. Although he couldn't determine Evan's real age, he could tell from his tremendous life force that he was less than a hundred years old.

"You are already about to reach Rank Three at such a young age, and now you are saying you even have experience with Runes..." Nythor muttered with a dazed expression, feeling extremely shocked.

Utharic was also stunned upon hearing Evan. Although he didn't know much about Runes, he had tried to learn a few things from Nythor in the past but failed to grasp anything, so he understood how difficult it was to gain any experience with Runes.

Evan looked at the shocked expressions of Nythor and Utharic, and though his expression didn't change, inwardly, he was very satisfied with the result of his bullshit.

Earlier, when he noticed Nythor's hooves moving on the ground in a strange manner, he felt these movements were somewhat familiar, recalling how Azroth had opened the pillar of light inside the Tomb of the Ancient.

To open the pillar of light and allow him to go in, Azroth had created some Runes, and the movements of Nythor's hooves were similar to those.

Of course, they were just similar, indicating he was trying to create some Runes, not the same Runes Azroth had used.

The Runes Azroth used to open the pillar of light were Primordial Runes, which are the most powerful Runes in the world, and the Runes Nythor was attempting to create couldn't compare to them.

Although these Runes couldn't compare to Primordial Runes, Evan still couldn't let them succeed so he had to stop them somehow.

His most important task now was to hold off Nythor and Utharic for about three more hours so that he could successfully reach Rank Three.

To distract them, he decided to act as though he knew everything they were doing when in reality, he only knew they were trying to create some kind of Rune and nothing else.

"If you think you can use these low-level Runes to break free, you are both dreaming," He said with a sneer on his face. "Even if you used a Primordial Rune, it would still take you a long time to break the barrier."

Nythor's eyes trembled when he heard the words "Primordial Runes," and his breathing stagnated. He tried his best to maintain his composure and asked in a trembling voice.

"You... You have information about the Primordial Runes?"

Evan was very satisfied with Nythor's reaction, but he didn't show any emotion and asked with a frown.

"Why are you asking if I have information about the Primordial Ru... Wait a second, don't tell me you are a Rune Master, but you don't even know a single Primordial Rune?"

Hearing Evan's shocked voice, Nythor was at a loss for words and didn't know how to respond. He wanted to shout that Primordial Runes weren't some vegetables that you could just buy in a market, but before he could say anything, Evan spoke again.

"No wonder you are using such a low-level Rune to break free from the barrier. I thought you were just conserving energy, which is why you didn't use Primordial Runes, but I didn't expect..." He said with a shake of his head as if disappointed by their incompetence.

Nythor's face turned ugly when he saw the way Evan was looking at him and if it weren't for the barrier between them, he would have already ripped him apart.

In the Eldranthia Empire, he was the best Rune Master, so being looked down upon in such a way irritated him immensely.

Utharic also glared at Evan with cold eyes, but before they could say anything, Evan said something that surprised them both.

"How about this, I will show you a Primordial Rune, and you answer a few of my questions?"

"Primordial Rune..." Nythor's heart skipped a beat when he heard Evan, but soon a sneer appeared on his face.

"You are just a mere clone. Do you think I don't know anything about the Primordial Runes? Forget about you—even with your real body, I am certain you can not handle the power of a Primordial Ru—"

Nythor was still in the middle of speaking when Evan's clone suddenly pulled up the shirt he was wearing, revealing the Rune of Evolution engraved on his chest.

Seeing the Rune on Evan's chest, Nythor's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he even forgot to breathe.

"What do you think? If you answer my questions, I will let you study this Primordial Rune. You also know it's pointless to struggle and try to break free from this barrier. Instead of trying to break it, you should focus on increasing your strength as much as possible before I break through to rank three, because once I do..." He smiled coldly. "You won't even get a chance to struggle if you don't have enough strength."

Hearing Evan, Nythor and Utharic felt a surge of anger. They were beginner level rank four core evolvers, and from Evan's words, it was clear he didn't take them seriously.

But despite their anger, they knew this wasn't the time to act rashly.

"How can we trust that you will let me study that Primordial Rune after we answer your questions?" Nythor asked after a moment.

Evan didn't respond immediately. Instead, he simply ripped the skin where the Rune of Evolution was located and threw it in front of the barrier, allowing them to see it clearly.

"Do you believe me now?" He asked in a low voice.

Seeing Evan's action, Nythor glanced at Utharic from the corner of his eye, and after a few seconds, finally nodded his head.

"What do you want to ask?"

"What is this place?" Evan immediately asked.

Utharic raised an eyebrow when he heard the question and responded in a flat voice,

"It's Azragoth World. Don't tell me you don't even know that?"

Evan shook his head when he heard Utharic and said in a low voice,

"Let me rephrase my question: Is this place the Origin Universe?"
