"Huh?" Evan looked at the two notifications that flashed before him, and his eyes opened wide in shock.

"Eldritch Horror Dimensional Rift..." He muttered in a shocked voice, feeling goosebumps all over his body due to the large amount of Eldritch Energy gushing out of the rift.

---) Eldritch Horror Dimensional Rift (Unique Skill): By using the Eldritch Energy you can open a small rift to other planes of existence, allowing you to summon one eldritch horror for thirty minutes. The Eldritch Horror Dimensional Rift is highly unstable and can be dangerous even for the Eldritch Goblin itself. Cool Down Time: Four Hours.

Evan was familiar with Gobu's Eldritch Horror Dimensional Rift skill, having seen him use it many times in the past, but this was the first time he experienced such a dreadful feeling upon seeing the rift. The sheer amount of Eldritch Energy pouring out of the rift was off the charts as if it was connected to an ocean of Eldritch Energy.

"What the hell does it mean for the dimensional rift to be affected because of Path To Origin?" Evan shouted, attempting to stop the Eldritch Energy from spreading throughout the Shadow World.

"Arghh!" Suddenly, he heard a roar filled with madness and saw Moloch screaming like a madman. His eyes were bloodshot, and an aura of madness surrounded his body.

"The Madness Induction completely messed up his mind due to the sudden increase in Eldritch Energy," Evan said with an ugly expression, displeased with the way things were progressing.

Previously, he would have been delighted with the success of the Madness Induction, but in his current situation, where he didn't know what was wrong with the Eldritch Dimensional Rift, he didn't want to deal with a mad demon.

Ba-dum! Ba-dum! - - -

Suddenly, Evan's heart started beating like crazy, and a dreadful feeling like never before engulfed his body. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he noticed his entire body was shaking.

"What- what is happening?" Evan muttered in a trembling voice, looking at the rift from where the Eldritch Energy was gushing out.

Ba-dum! Ba-dum! - - -

At first, Evan thought his heart, which was covered in the outline of the Rune Of Origin was beating like crazy because of the so called Path to Origin, similar to how it was beating in excitement when he ventured into the essence stone mine inside the sealed world of Drayds.

But when he looked at the dimensional rift, he realized his heart wasn't racing with excitement due to the path to the origin, it was beating like a drum because of the impending doom that he was about to face.

"Sh*t... Gobu, close that fu*king rift," Evan shouted desperately and stopped using the Shadow World skill.

"I-I don't know what's happening, but I can't control the rift," Gobu replied in a terrified voice, as he could also sense something terrifying was hiding behind the flood of the Eldritch Energy.

"Damn it," Evan cursed upon hearing Gobu's response and swiftly appeared near the dimensional rift.

"I will kill you..."

Evan had just appeared in front of the rift when suddenly, Moloch charged toward him with bloodshot eyes, as if intent on tearing him to pieces.

Evan's shadow undeads tried to stop him, but they were all blasted away by the frenzied charge of the demon.

"Fu*k you bastard, can't you read the situation..." Evan cursed when he saw Moloch charging towards him and dodged his bull-like rush.

After evading Moloch, Evan wanted to use the shadow possession skill immediately, but before he could...

Brzzz!

The dimensional rift suddenly began to shake, and...

Woosh!

A deep red-coloured tentacle shot out of it. The moment the tentacle emerged, everyone within thousands of kilometres of the area around the rift, including Evan and Moloch froze in place.

Due to his earlier charge, Moloch was standing closest to the rift, so the tentacle that shot out from the rift grabbed him.

Even though Moloch was under the effect of Madness Induction, he still showed a look of terror when he was grabbed by the tentacle. After seizing him, the tentacle began to drag him inside the rift.

Seeing the tentacle retreat, Evan didn't show the slightest hint of joy as he noticed tens of similar tentacles at the other end of the rift.

All the tentacles attempted to pass through the rift, but because the rift wasn't strong enough to handle the pressure of all of them, the other tentacles couldn't pass through it.

'Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, I need to close this rift or get away from here,' Evan screamed inwardly and struggled to move his body which was frozen due to the chilling aura of the tentacle and the Eldritch Energy emanating from the rift.

He wasn't sure what kind of Eldritch Creature was on the other end of the rift, but just sensing the dreadful aura emitted by the creature's single tentacle, Evan was certain that the Eldritch Creature was at least Rank Four or even a Rank Five being.

"What kind of fu*ked up thing is this Path To Origin that influenced Gobu's skill so much that instead of summoning a mid-level Rank One Eldritch Horror, he literally summoned this daddy like figure... " Evan shouted out loud and circulated the Primordial Shadow Energy inside his body to break free from the restrictions of the chilling aura.

As the Primordial Shadow Energy began to flow through his body, albeit with difficulty, he finally managed to move his body.

Evan's shadow undeads were also affected by the aura of the Eldritch Creature, and since none of them possessed something like Primordial Shadow Energy, they were unable to lift even a finger, much like Moloch, who was being dragged inside the rift by the tentacle.

Due to the chilling, deathly aura of the tentacle, Moloch had already broken free from the effect of Madness Induction and regained his senses. He desperately wanted to break free from the tentacle, but the pressure on him was so intense that he couldn't even move his mouth, much less escape from the creature's grasp.

While feeling cold all over his body, Evan watched as the tentacle dragged Moloch inside the rift, which was overflowing with Eldritch Energy. Once Moloch was dragged in, Evan didn't know if it was his imagination or not, but he felt as if he saw a hideous-looking mouth filled with sharp teeth gobble down Moloch.

Although Evan didn't know if it was just his imagination or if he really saw that hideous mouth, he still got goosebumps all over his body, and his heart started to beat faster.

'Can you do anything about this rift?' Evan used shadow senses and asked Gobu, who was frozen behind the rift.

Although Gobu couldn't move his body as he was also frozen due to the Eldritch Creature's aura, he still replied to Evan's question using the link formed by the shadow senses and hearing his answer, Evan's expression turned extremely ugly.

'Damn it, if Gobu can't do anything about it, then should I just run away?' He said to himself as he noticed the tentacle that had dragged Moloch inside the rift was once again coming out.

No matter how he looked at the situation, Evan's mind was telling him to run away from there as soon as possible, but...

"Why is there a feeling in my heart that is telling me that I would regret it if I ran away from here without solving this situation?" Evan muttered with an odd look on his face as he watched the tentacle emerging from the rift once again. As the tentacle once again came out of the rift, the pressure in the surrounding area once again increased.

Evan looked at the rift and after gritting his teeth for a few seconds, he rushed toward it. "If this trick doesn't work, I will run away from here without a second thought," He muttered in a low voice and stopped in front of the rift.

His shadow flickered a little, and a shortsword that was emitting the aura of a low-grade Rank One weapon shot out from his shadow storage.

The shortsword was something that Evan had found in the mountain range yesterday. He grabbed the shortsword that shot out of his shadow storage and looked at the deep red tentacle that had just emerged from the dimensional rift. His black eyes flashed with cold light, and without holding back even a little bit, he poured all of his Primordial Shadow Energy into the shortsword.

Because of the shadow energy, the shortsword glowed with a chilly black aura and Evan slashed at the tentacle, intending to sever it so that he could proceed with his plan of closing the dimensional rift.

After pouring all of his Primordial Shadow Energy into the shortsword, Evan thought that it wouldn't be difficult for him to sever the tentacle of the creature, but...

Bang!

The moment the blade of the shortsword came into contact with the deep red tentacle, it shattered like fragile glass, not even leaving a scratch on the creature's tentacle.

Evan watched in slow motion as the fragments of the shortsword's blade dropped to the ground, and only one thought came into his mind.

'Well... I am screwed.'

And just as Evan expected, the moment the sword shattered and the Eldritch Creature noticed his presence, the deep red tentacle shot towards him and wrapped around his hand.
