The blood-red lightning continued to fall on the rising dust cloud when Evan's clone appeared above it.
Using his spiritual senses, he saw that within the dust cloud, Drezzoth was lying in the middle of a deep pit, his body torn in multiple places, with black blood oozing out like a flowing stream.
The pig-headed Eldritch Creature was desperately trying to escape from the pit, but every defensive asure he employed was instantly destroyed by the lightning, leaving him no chance of escape.
About a minute later, Drezzoth's aura dropped to its lowest point and his life force was on the verge of vanishing.
Noticing that the Rank Three Eldritch Creature was about to die, Evan signalled Albelu with his hand, and in an instant, the lightning bolts stopped falling into the deep pit. Instead, they targeted the remaining Eldritch Creatures of the army who were scattered across the battlefield, trying their best to escape.
Since the remaining Eldritch Creatures were all defenceless and seriously injured, just one wave of lightning was enough to annihilate them completely, and with that lightning wave, other than Drezzoth, all two hundred thousand Eldritch Creatures who had co to fight Evan were killed in less than three minutes.
Although Evan felt it was a pity that he didn't get any bodies to create more shadow undeads, he didn't dwell on it as he was more focused on confirming sothing important.
As Albelu stopped unleashing lightning bolts on Drezzoth, Evan waved his hand, and the dust cloud was blown away by a gust of wind, revealing the Eldritch Creature's tattered figure lying in the middle of a nearly ten-ter-wide and around fifty-ter-deep pit.
Evan looked at Drezzoth, who now resembled a charred humanoid pig covered in sparks of blood-red lightning and activated his Wind Manipulation skill. As he used the skill, a powerful wind force erupted from the pit and hurled Drezzoth's body high into the sky.
Because the Eldritch Creature was heavily injured, he couldn't control his body and continued to ascend high in the sky, when suddenly, a giant snake mouth filled with sharp fangs appeared in his path and bit down.
Crunch!
The sound of bones crunching and flesh tearing echoed across the silent battlefield as Rattle swallowed half of Drezzoth's body, while the remaining half fell from the sky with black blood flowing like a fountain.
Thud!
Thud!
With a loud thud, the body of the pig-headed Eldritch Creature crashed to the ground, twitching a few tis before going still. At the sa ti, as the body stopped twitching, a strange force enveloped it, turning it to dust and making it disappear from the battlefield.
Evan paid no attention to the half of the body that had dropped to the ground and vanished; instead, his focus was on Rattle, who had swallowed half of Drezzoth's body.
With his senses, he could see the half of the body Rattle swallowed was struggling furiously inside his stomach.
But Evan didn't care about that and instructed Rattle to return to his shadow storage, hoping that since half of Drezzoth's body had already been absorbed by the World, the remaining half would be considered a dead object, allowing Rattle to take it inside his shadow storage.
Once inside the shadow storage, Evan wouldn't have to worry about losing half of Drezzoth's body. Even though the chances of turning soone into a shadow undead with just half of their body are very low, there was still a small possibility and he wanted to see if he could succeed.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. When Rattle tried to enter the shadow storage, only half of his body was able to enter, while the remaining half containing Drezzoth's body in its stomach couldn't enter.
Evan's mouth twitched when he saw Rattle's long body twitching along with its tail, trying its best to squeeze into the shadow storage and he shook his head.
"Not going to work, huh..." He muttered in a low voice and ordered Rattle to spit out the Eldritch Creature.
The snake stopped trying to enter the shadow storage and spat out the slightly deford body of the pig-headed Eldritch Creature... And the mont he did, the half-body turned to dust as well.
Evan looked at the place where Drezzoth's body had turned to dust and waited for a few minutes, but even after waiting for more than ten minutes, nothing happened.
'Looks like my guess was right. Not every Eldritch Creature possesses the World Blessing that allows them to co back to life. Xael'Tor introduced himself as the fourth general under the command of Emperor Velgoth. If I am right, then other than the three generals who were ahead of Xael'Tor, only a few other important figures would have the World Blessing...' Evan said to himself with a thoughtful look on his face and his expression relaxed a bit.
The power of being able to co back to life after death was no joke, so Evan had already guessed that it would be impossible for all the Eldritch Creatures to possess a power like that.
Now that he had confird it, he was visibly relieved because if all the creatures had the World Blessing and could co back to life, it would have been nearly impossible for him to complete the task even with the help of his shadow undeads.
'Although my plan of creating more shadow undeads failed, I still achieved a good result...' He thought as he looked at the sky, which was brightening with red and orange colours as the black lightning cloud faded away.
'Now, those people who were thinking about coming here must be in a pinch, worrying that the preparations they made might not be enough to take down.'
The reason Evan decided to reveal one of his Rank Three shadow undeads and let Albelu destroy the entire army with just a single attack, even after knowing the Sixth Legion had co here to test him was to buy himself so more ti.
He was sure that those who sent the Sixth Legion were watching everything, and after seeing the complete annihilation of the entire army, they must now be thinking that their previous preparations might not be enough to take him down. This would give him more ti to reach Rank Three.
"Now I have to try my best to reach Rank Three before they co here..." Evan muttered in a low voice and looked into the distance. "If I beco a Rank Three before they arrive, then it's good. If not, then I can always use the void crystals, right?"
