Chapter 1125 Rank Three (Part 2)
The pillar of light was actually a space-sealing formation, somewhat similar to the one Ashley had created when Anastasia and the others trapped Anderson and Halphas outside the Magmara Kingdom.
Before leaving the closed world of the Drayds, Evan had asked Ashley to create a space-sealing formation plate for him, that he could use at any time to trap his enemies.
The Forbidden Land was a very dangerous place, so he needed items that could help him escape from powerful foes. The formation plate Ashley created for him could trap Peak Rank Four Core Evolvers for more than five hours or a Rank Five Core Evolver for a short period of time.
With his various escape methods, Evan was confident that as long as he could trap his enemy for a while, he could easily evade them. This was why he had brought the formation plate with him.
Creating such a formation plate was extremely difficult and required many high-level resources. If it hadn't been for Halphas and Anderson, who had generously donated their wealth to them in the Magmara Kingdom, Evan wouldn't have asked Ashley to make it for him.
Before creating the Void Territory, Evan had considered using the formation to trap himself inside as a defensive measure and make a breakthrough to rank three inside it.
However, the space-sealing formation was so powerful that it could completely isolate the space within it. This meant that once it was fully activated, even the world essence from outside wouldn't be able to penetrate it.
Evan knew that during his breakthrough to Rank Three, he would need a large amount of World Essence. Even if he used all the essence stones he had, it might not be enough. Therefore, he abandoned the idea of using the space-sealing formation as a protective measure during his breakthrough.

"Xyrosk, you—" Utharic was furious when he saw Xyrosk standing with Evan. He wasn't an idiot so he immediately realized that it was a trap. Nythor was also shocked and glared at Xyrosk with cold eyes.
"Why do I get the feeling they want to eat you? Do you think these guys swing that way?" Evan asked in a relaxed voice, glancing at Mor'Zarak.
Mor'Zarak's eyes twitched uncontrollably at Evan's comment. If he weren't unsure about defeating him, he would have definitely attacked him.
Utharic and Nythor were also enraged by Evan's mockery and attacked the pillar-shaped barrier trapping them with all their might. Unfortunately, their full-powered attacks only caused slight ripples on the barrier and failed to inflict any real damage.
"Don't waste your strength. Even if a Rank Five Core Evolver were trapped inside, it would take them some time to break free, let alone you two who are still beginner-level Rank Four Core Evolvers," Evan said in a flat voice as a chair emerged from his shadow storage and he sat down.
For the next ten minutes, Evan watched as Nythor and Utharic relentlessly attacked the barrier, trying to break free. But even after ten minutes of continuous assault, they only managed to dim the barrier slightly and caused no significant damage.
"Satisfied?" Evan asked with a smile once Nythor and Utharic finally stopped attacking.
Seeing Evan's smug, punchable face, Nythor and Utharic's faces turned red with anger, but they felt helpless against the barrier.
"By the way, brother, why don't you remove that black smoke shrouding you and let them see your true appearance?" Evan suddenly spoke to Mor'Zarak in a light tone.
"This..." Mor'Zarak was stunned by Evan's request and hesitated.
"Why are you afraid of showing them your true appearance? Are you planning to go back and join these guys in the future?" Evan's smile disappeared when he saw Mor'Zarak's hesitation, and he asked in an indifferent voice.
Evan didn't know Mor'Zarak's exact situation, but when Nythor and Utharic arrived, they called him Xyrosk, which was different from his real name.
Moreover, in front of those two, Mor'Zarak never dispersed the smoke covering him, as if he didn't want to reveal his true appearance to them.
Although Evan wasn't certain, he guessed that Mor'Zarak must have another identity, and if he truly wanted to bring him to his side, he needed to ensure that Mor'Zarak lost all hope of going back.
If Mor'Zarak didn't expose his true identity, he could easily return to the Eldritch Creatures' side in the future using his second identity.
Seeing Evan's cold eyes, Mor'Zarak realized that Evan wasn't joking. If he refused to reveal his true face to Nythor and Utharic, he would be in serious trouble.
'Damn it, I was thinking of going back if my vision turned out to be a false alarm or if this guy lost, but once my true identity is exposed, I won't be able to go back...' Mor'Zarak cursed inwardly but under Evan's icy gaze, the black smoke around him finally dissipated.
Nythor and Utharic were puzzled by the conversation between Evan and Xyrosk.
They knew Xyrosk belongs to a species of Eldritch Creatures known as Voidmire, and they don't have a physical form, so they couldn't understand what Evan meant by revealing his true appearance.
But when the smoke was cleared and Xyrosk's face was revealed, they were shocked to their core.
"Mor'Zarak..." They both exclaimed in unison and their eyes widened in disbelief.
Seeing their shocked expressions, Evan glanced at Mor'Zarak from the corner of his eye and nodded slightly.
''So, he really does have another identity...' He thought to himself and shook his head.
"You… how can you use the power of the Voidmire clan? No, more importantly, how could you side with him? Have you forgotten that he is the one who killed your father?" Utharic roared, his voice thick with rage as he glared at Mor'Zarak with eyes full of hate.
Mor'Zarak remained silent upon hearing Utharic, meeting his furious gaze with an indifferent expression, showing no sign of remorse or hesitation.
"You bastard…" Utharic's eyes burned red with fury at Mor'Zarak's indifferent demeanour, and he launched another frenzied attack against the barrier.
Evan watched calmly as Utharic and Nythor assaulted the barrier in anger.
After a few moments, he sighed and spoke in a flat tone.
"I don't mean to interrupt, but instead of worrying about why he betrayed you, shouldn't you be more concerned about your army?"
Hearing Evan, Utharic and Nythor abruptly ceased their attacks and their expressions changed.
Utharic quickly took out the black staff from his storage ring, and as he looked at the black crystal atop it, his bull-like face turned deathly pale.
