Chapter 835 Black Turtle (Part 1)
Riding the wind and lightning sheep, Evan headed toward a certain direction. The last thing he needed to collect in order to complete the second trial was the Frost Vine, which grows near water sources.
Evan had spent one and a half days collecting the other herbs on the list, and during that time, he had come across a water source.
However, he didn't try to collect the Frost Vine at that time because the water source was being protected by a Peak Rank Two monster and that monster was quite troublesome to deal with.
About five hours after escaping from the range of Walter and Momon's spiritual senses, Evan saw a small lake in the distance.
"It won't be easy to take down that bastard," Evan muttered in a low voice as he thought about the monster of the lake.
"Though I didn't search around the lake, I already know where the Frost Vine is," Evan said to himself as his eyes glowed brightly.
Soon, the wind and lightning sheep stopped at the edge of the lake. The lake was a few kilometres wide, and there was a small island in the middle of it.
Evan was one hundred and ten percent sure that the Frost Vine was on that island.
Why was he sure?
Well, using the Hawk's Eye skill, he could see an ice-blue vine growing in the middle of the island, and when he told Amara about it, she confirmed that it was the thing they were looking for.
"As expected, it is not going to be easy," Evan sighed because of the location of the vine and took a deep breath.
Although the aura of the turtle was a bit weaker than Momon and Walter's auras, it was still something Evan couldn't ignore. Moreover, Evan was wary of the turtle for a completely different reason.
As the turtle appeared in the middle of the water, Evan's shadow undeads attacked it using their skills. The entire lake started to shake because of the attacks of his shadow undeads, but the yellow eyes of the turtle glowed a bit, and the lake returned to its calm state.
At the same time, the attacks of the shadow undeads came into contact with the turtle, resulting in a loud explosion that shook the surroundings and illuminated the entire lake area with different shades of colours due to the combined attacks.
"As expected from a turtle bastard," Evan said in a neutral voice as he looked at a diamond-shaped light blue shield that appeared in front of the turtle and stopped all the attacks.
The shield was visibly cracked in many places due to the attacks of the shadow undeads, but the water of the lake suddenly moved towards the shield, and all the cracks on it started to disappear.
Some shadow undeads, including Aqua, jumped into the water to attack the turtle from underwater, but the moment they jumped, the water came to life and tore their bodies to shreds as if the lake was a forbidden place where anyone who entered would die.
"It has a ridiculous defence, can control the water of the lake and most importantly..." Evan used the Eyes Of The Abyss ability of Gobu and saw that the world essence of the lake was continuously being absorbed by the turtle. "... As long as this guy is inside the lake, it has an unlimited supply of world essence."
Evan took a deep breath and used the second effect of the Growth Link skill to take Albelu's skill. Blood lightning started to cover his body, and a bloodthirsty aura started to emanate from him.
"Continue your attacks. Don't stop no matter what," He said to his shadow undeads and shot high into the sky, leaving behind a trail of blood lightning.
Following Evan's order, the shadow undeads once again attacked the turtle, but just like before, all of their attacks were stopped by the turtle using its skill and the power of the lake.
Evan stopped high in the sky for a moment, and after seeing the attacks of his shadow undeads were still not working, he took a deep breath and shot towards the heaven, leaving behind a trail of blood lightning in the middle of the sky.
