Necromancer Of The Shadows

Boooommm-!

Evan wasn't even able to follow up with his eyes as to what happened before he heard a loud booming sound, and the next thing he knew was that his connection with the fire cacti he sent towards the elf was lost.

In other words, the fire cacti was destroyed in an instant, and since the cacti was not his saved shadow he can't summon it once again. 

"Fu*k" Evan can't help but curse feeling speechless that she killed a B+ rank fire cacti in an instant.

From her powerful aura he already knew she was strong, but killing a monster at the same level as her with just a single move is still far above his speculation. 

The dust cloud settled down where the fire cacti was a moment ago and Evan saw the graceful figure of the elf standing there. 

One more thing that he noticed was that her eyes seems hollow, like she is some kind of robot. There were no emotions in her eyes. 

Seeing her eyes Evan frowned, 'can she talk?' he can't help but think seeing her hollow eyes. 

But considering how she attacked the fire cacti immediately without any warning, the chances of her talking were very low in his eyes. 

Suddenly the elf turned her head and looked in the direction where Evan was standing. 

Seeing the elf looking in his direction, he quickly hid behind a tree so that she can't see him. 

Of course, he wasn't afraid of her. 

He has many ways to deal with her. But is not the right time to face her. 

If he kills her now he will be teleported out from the dungeon just like how he was sent out from the frozen world dungeon after clearing the ruins. 

He still wanted to collect the cores of the thornbloom monsters before leaving the dungeon.

Luckily the elf just looked in his direction for a moment before walking back toward the giant tree and sitting down again. 

Evan sighed in relief when he saw she didn't start a fight with him. 

"She is strong than any peak B+ rank monster I ever saw" Evan muttered while rubbing his chin, "Looks like I know who is going to be my fifth shadow undead" 

Evan looked in the direction he came from and decided to leave for the time being. 

He first wanted to collect the cores from the thornbloom monsters before dealing with her.

Before leaving he looked at the two golden coloured fruits and can't help but wonder what kind of fruits they are. 

"Since they are the reward for clearing the ruins, they must be something good"

"I saw the portal to leave this place earlier, but I just hope I will be able to enter here once again after leaving from here" Evan muttered and started to walk away from there. 

As Evan walked away, the elf who was sitting under the tree opened her eyes and looked at his retreating back before she closed her eyes once again. 

Evan reached at the portal and summoned back Eclipse and others inside his shadow storage again.

After summoning them back he entered the portal, he felt his vision turning blurry once again and the next second he was back inside the pond. 

He looked at the green stone and was glad to see it was still releasing energy fluctuations which means he can go there once again. 

He came out of the pond, and saw three dead monsters there. He was inside the ruins just for a few minutes, but his shadow undead who were roaming in underground killed three monsters and places their bodies near the pond just as he told them. 

Evan summoned back Nekros and others, and asked Eclipse to look for the cores. This time his luck was not good and he didn't find any cores from the three bodies. 

But he didn't mind since there is still many monsters inside the dungeon. 

He used shadow resurrection and two poisonous sand scorpions and one sand serpent rose in front of him. 

Evan was not concerned about the usage of his shadow energy because the recovery speed of his shadow energy also increased after he advanced to C rank. 

Before it took him one whole day to recover one unit of shadow energy, but now his recovery speed is way faster than before. 

Even though it is slower than his mana recovery it is still not a problem for him to use shadow resurrection on the corpses of B or B+ rank monsters as long as he wants.

If he has to compare, he will say his shadow energy recovery speed is one tenth of his current mana recovery speed. 

"Go my shadows, let's create an empire of deads for ourselves," Evan said ordering all of his shadow undead to kill more monsters.

'Damm it, in novels, when the main character says something like this, he brims with pride, then why am I feeling so embarrassed' Evan thought feeling blessed that there was no one who saw him saying something like this. 

"Woooo" but all the shadow undead who heard him did not care about his emotions and cried out in excitement before started moving. 

Evan felt even more embarrassed after hearing their excited voices and sat down on Eclipse's back.

"Let's go Eclipse," he said and Eclipse dashed deeper into the desert once again.

Fifteen hours later...

"So this is the red rock mountain" Evan muttered looking at a mountain. Unlike normal mountains, this mountain was completely red in colour and perfectly blends with the scorching hot desert.

"According to the information I read, the den of thornbloom monsters should be located somewhere near the red rock mountain,"  Evan said and suddenly a black shadow shot out from his shadow storage going straight high in the sky.

Shriek-!

A shriek of an eagle rang out as an undead desert sky eagle started to fly around the red rock mountain.

Evan used share senses and was able to see everything that the Eagle was seeing.

After around three minutes Evan stopped using shadow senses and his vision returned to normal, "found it" Evan said and a smile appeared on his face.
