"They are coming," Mor'Zarak said as the puddle of black blood in front of him ceased trembling.
The five shadow undeads surrounding Mor'Zarak remained silent upon hearing the Eldritch Creature, their cold eyes fixed on him.
"I am curious, is there a special reason you decided to side with ?" As Mor'Zarak was feeling uneasy under the gaze of the shadow undeads, he heard a calm voice and saw Evan, who was sitting atop Nekros' shoulder looking at him with interest.
Mor'Zarak didn't respond imdiately to Evan's question and hesitated for a mont, but he eventually sighed and spoke in a low voice.
"I decided to side with you because I don't want to die."
"Hmmm?" Evan raised an eyebrow upon hearing Mor'Zarak, looking at him in confusion.
Seeing Evan's puzzled expression, Mor'Zarak began to explain.
"Most Eldritch Creatures are born with so kind of special ability. The clan I belong to possesses unique eye powers. Every person born in our clan has a type of eye power that can greatly enhance their abilities..." He pointed to his third eye, which spun like a whirlpool, positioned between his two normal eyes.
"My eye allows to peer into the future, and so ti ago, when I used my powers, I saw great destruction overtaking the Azragoth World. Eldritch Horrors were running rampant across the world, and it was crumbling under their mindless slaughter. I don't want to be killed in this bloody conflict, so I decided to side with you, soone I didn't see when I peered into the future. By aligning with you, I might have a chance to survive the coming calamity."
Evan narrowed his eyes upon hearing Mor'Zarak's words.
'A bloody massacre... Could it be that even if I do nothing, this world is destined for destruction?' He thought and asked about the Eldritch Horrors Mor'Zarak had ntioned.
Mor'Zarak explained to Evan about the Eldritch Horrors, which currently occupied thirty percent of the Azragoth World and how their numbers were increasing at a terrifying rate.
Evan couldn't help but frown as Mor'Zarak detailed the situation in the Azragoth World.
'Not only will I have to deal with the Eldritch Creatures of the Eldranthia Empire in the future, but it seems I will also have to contend with these mindless Eldritch Horrors...' He thought, his mind racing.
He glanced at Mor'Zarak, and although he didn't sense any deceit from the Eldritch Creature before him, he still couldn't fully trust him.
'But if he is telling the truth, then what is the reason behind the sudden attack of the Eldritch Horrors? According to him, this attack won't be just a minor assault, but a full-scale invasion that will lead to a bloody massacre across the world. It's been thousands of years since Emperor Velgoth pushed the Eldritch Energy to the corners of the world, so why would the Eldritch Horrors suddenly want to launch an all-out attack?' He muttered to himself and asked after thinking for a while.
"Instead of siding with , you could have inford Emperor Velgoth about the impending attack from the Eldritch Horrors. If you had prepared in advance, it wouldn't be difficult to stop their attack and survive, right?"
Mor'Zarak shook his head upon hearing Evan's suggestion and replied in a low voice, "Even if I tell them, they wouldn't believe ."
"Why not?" Evan asked with narrowed eyes, feeling this guy was hiding sothing.
Mor'Zarak remained silent at first, but seeing Evan's eyes fixed intently on him, he finally spoke in a hesitant voice.
"A few years ago, I foresaw a similar future where the Azragoth World was nearly destroyed by the Eldritch Horrors. When I inford my father of this vision, he imdiately relayed the news to His Majesty. Because my father was one of the generals, Emperor Velgoth took the warning seriously and made extensive preparations to face the attack of the Eldritch Horrors. But in the end, even after more than a year, nothing happened and it turned out my prediction was wrong."
Hearing Mor'Zarak, Evan looked at him strangely and after a mont of silence, he finally spoke.
"So you are saying your future predictions are not that accurate?"
"Yes," Mor'Zarak nodded while looking sowhat embarrassed.
Evan was speechless at Mor'Zarak's admission and wondered if the creature's mind was functioning properly.
"You know the future you see is not accurate, yet you still dared to side with . Aren't you afraid you will be wrong once again and that there won't be any attack from the Eldritch Horrors?"
"Even if the Eldritch Horrors do not launch an attack, aren't you planning to destroy the Eldranthia Empire and kill all the Eldritch Creatures?" Mor'Zarak retorted when he noticed Evan was looking at him as if he was an idiot.
Evan's expression grew even stranger after hearing Mor'Zarak's words.
'Even I am not certain I can destroy the Eldranthia Empire, but this guy has already decided to side with .'
Suddenly, he thought of sothing and glanced at Mor'Zarak's third eye.
'This eye... Isn't it similar to Xael'Tor's eye, whom I killed a few days ago...' He recalled that Mor'Zarak had ntioned his father was one of the generals and he imdiately understood he was talking about Xael'Tor.
'I killed his father, yet this guy still decided to side with ... What the hell is he thinking?'
Just as Evan began to suspect that sothing was off with Mor'Zarak's brain, he sensed sothing and looked into the distance.
'It seems this guy wasn't lying. The first one to enter is actually a Rank Four Core Evolver,' He thought to himself, jumping down from the top of Nekros.
As he landed, he sensed more and more people entering the Void Territory, including another Rank Four and several Rank Three and lower-level Core Evolvers.
"They are here. You know what to do, right?" Evan asked Mor'Zarak while waving his hand to signal his shadow undeads and skeletons to leave.
Mor'Zarak nodded in response and transford into a puff of black smoke, retreating to hide at a distance.
'Let's see if he truly wants to side with or if he isust putting on an act,' Evan thought with an indifferent look on his face as he sat down on the ground and closed his eyes.
