Chapter 203 Absorbing Cores
'She is behind the creation of that orc den?' when Evan heard those words suddenly he remembered something.
Before he joined the mission of the orc den he read about its details.
In the details, it was mentioned that the orc den might be created because of the dungeon outbreak. They suspected that there might be a dungeon somewhere deep within the mountain range.
But now Layla just said she was behind the creation of that orc den.
'If what she just said is true, then doesn't this mean she knew where that dungeon is located, and she can somehow cause an outbreak in it' Evan thought and remembered what Valery told him when she was giving him details of Carlos.
'Valery told me the current dungeon outbreaks that are happening all over might be caused by the dark guild. And now that bit*h just said she was behind the creation of that orc den which means she somehow caused an outbreak in that dungeon, doesn't this mean she is someone from the dark guild' Evan took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
All this time he was wondering why he was being held here, and who wanted to capture him.
But after hearing what Layla just said he finally understood why he is being held here.
Even though it was just his speculation he was 90% sure that she is someone from the dark guild.
He can't think of anyone else who will capture him.
'Damm, I completely forget about them since they did nothing after I came back from the frost world dungeon' Evan cursed and become anxious.
He wasn't sure who asked Layla to capture him, but since that person can even ask an A rank hunter to do his beading, doesn't that mean she is at least A+ rank or might even be an S rank hunter.
If he can't escape from here now, he might never get a chance later on.
'Did they somehow find out that I was the one who killed Carlos?' Evan thought and found it was quite possible.
'If they really found out that I was the one who killed Carlos, they will surely ask me how I killed him even though I was just a D rank hunter at that time'
The more he thinks about it the more he found his situation troublesome.
'What will they do if they found out I have two cores?' Evan can't help but shuddered thinking about what will happen.
'My monarch core is inside my heart, what will happen if they took out my heart'
'Uhh, what a stupid question, of course I will die if they took out my heart' Evan thought and stood up.
But when he stood up, he wasn't able to balance himself properly, seeing all white around him made his mind dizzy and he once again closed his eyes.
'Fu*king lose of senses' Evan cursed and sat down once again.
Previously he thought since they just locked him here, and didn't kill him he might be safe.
But now that he knew it is the dark guild who is behind all this he can't keep his composer.
Plus there was another problem.
'There is no freaking way I can endure one month's imprisonment here' Evan thought and made up his mind.
Even though Layla already took away his storage ring and other equipment including the armor and the concealment ring he was wearing, he still has all of his important things in his shadow storage.
Even the cores that he needs to advance are in his shadow storage.
Because of the danger of advancing here, he did not use them in the past five days.
But now that he knew his life might be in real danger, plus he has to stay in this place for one month, he couldn't care less about the fact that he might get in more serious trouble if he tries to advance.
'Even if Layla finds out something is happening here and came to stop me, I can use shadow energy and try to kill her. In this closed up space I will have a higher advantage while using shadow energy' Evan thought and took a deep breath.
In the wilderness, he didn't fight against her using shadow energy, because the chances of success in that open space were very low.
He can get a boost for only one or two seconds, and killing her in that open space was very hard.
But here in this closed up space if he use shadow energy the chance of killing her was very high.
And there was another problem that was bothering him.
'What if nothing happened even after I advance my core to C rank?' this was the main cause of Evan's nervousness.
If his monarch core advanced normally and he doesn't get any class from it, he was sure that it will be close to impossible for him to escape from here.
He might become powerful enough to kill B rank hunter easily after his monarch core advance.
Or he might even be able to kill B+ rank hunter somehow.
But without getting a class it was impossible for him to do something against an A rank hunter.
Actually, he knew that even if get a class, the chances of him being able to kill Layla is very low.
After all, A rank hunters are not someone you can kill easily.
He knew all this but he still wanted to advance because even if he don't become strong enough to kill an A rank hunter, he might get a class or skill which can help him escape from here.
Currently, he just wanted something that can help him escape from here.
He was fine as long as he can escape from here.
As for taking revenge against Layal, he can do that anytime once he is strong enough.
After making up his mind he was ready to absorb the cores. But he did not start to absorb the cores immediately. He waited for few hours because he knew Layal might still be there since she just delivered his food.
After three hours Evan used his shadow storage and took out the C+ rank core from it.
"Ha, there is no point thinking about useless things, let's just advance and see what will happen" Evan pushed back all the worries he was feeling and put the C+ rank core into his mouth.
