Necromancer Of The Shadows

Desert sky eagle has a skill called hawk's eye, with this skill it can easily see everything within five kilometres of the area.

And using the share senses skill Evan can also see everything that the eagle was seeing.

With the combination of these two skills, he easily found the location of thornbloom monsters.

Evan summoned back all of his shadow undead inside his shadow storage and flew up into the sky. 

After three minutes of flying, he landed on the red rock mountain and looked at the giant canyon before him. 

The canyon was very big and stretched deeper into the red rock mountain. 

"So they are the famous thornblooms of the verdant wilds dungeon desert" Evan muttered after taking a proper look at the monsters inside the canyon. 

The Thornbloom is captivating and formidable at the same time. Standing at an imposing height, it reaches approximately seven feet tall. Its sturdy, yet elegant, frame exudes an air of strength and resilience

Its body was covered in dark bark like armour, the armour was filled with sharp and menacing thorns that provides the creature with both protection and a fearsome means of defence. 

At the dark backdrop of the thornbloom's body, some crimson blooms were blossoming. From the Thornbloom's broad shoulders extend muscular arms, adorned with thorny vines that entwine around them. These vines serve multiple purposes, acting as both additional defence and a means for the creature to grasp and restrain its foes. 

Its eyes were deep red and were shining like a fiery orb giving people a sense of danger. 

"Their den is completely different from the orc den I saw a few days ago" Evan muttered examining everything carefully. 

Unlike the orc den where orcs were scattered in different mountain ranges, in this den all the thornblooms were gathered in this canyon. 

There were different groups of the thornblooms in the canyon, but they were not far away from each other. 

After looking carefully at the canyon Evan assumed there were at least 400 thornblooms inside the canyon. 

"No wonder some people call the red mountain, the mountain of blood," Evan said while shaking his head and flew towards the entrance of the canyon. 

Many hunters died while trying to clear this den which is why some people call this mountain, the mountain of blood. 

Unlike the outside world where hunters can create a big group to clear dens, they can't do the same thing inside the dungeons. 

Dungeons have their own set of rules and hunters have to act according to that. 

The maximum number of people who can enter VWD at the same time is ten. Just like how only two people can enter in frozen world dungeon at the same time, in VWD only ten people can enter at the same time. 

The chances of ten hunters being able to clear this kind of den filled with hundreds of monsters are close to none. 

But many hunters who were overconfident tried to clear it and died miserably.

Many people tried to lure thornblooms away from the canyon to kill them one by one. 

But this tactic was also useless because in the deeper area of the canyon, the groups of thornbloom are very close to each other and it is impossible to lure one group away without alerting the other group. 

In general, this den is even harder to clear than the boss room of the dungeon.

Most of the hunters who enter VWD ignore the den of thornblooms and very few hunters try to clear it.

Evan reached at the entrance of the canyon and landed there. 

"According to what I read no one was able to clear this den till now because of the excessive numbers of the thornblooms," Evan said and looked at his shadow with a smile on his face, "Then let me be the first one to clear this den" 

"Come out my temporary shadow army, it is time to show those thornblooms the terror of shadow undead" 

Woosh-!! 

Evan's shadow suddenly expanded to several meters, and like a door of the abyss was opened shadow undead one after another started to come out from it. 

In just five seconds, all the shadow undeads came out from his shadow storage releasing their powerful auras. 

Evan looked at them and nodded his head in satisfaction.

Unlike yesterday when he had forty shadow undeads, currently, there were around 120 shadow undeads in his army.

Other than sand serpents, sand worms, scorpions and fire cacti there were new shadow undeads as well.

The most eye catching were five giant golems standing at the back of the army.

They were sand golems that he killed, all five of them were ten meters high and had very high defence. The sand golems look like giant war puppets ready to crush everything in their path.

In the front, fifteen dune stalkers were standing. 

The dune stalker is a humanoid monster who has the face of a cat and a body that looks like a human's.

They are proficient in hiding and killing their opponents with their surprise attacks.

Eclipse was standing in front of dune stalkers acting as their commander.

Other than these golems and dune stalkers there were thirteen Eagles as well. They were monsters that he encounter recently.

All in all, he was pretty confident in clearing the den with his current number of shadow undeads.

"Golems, you are up" Evan shouted giving them commands since he have a limited amount of time.

Some of his shadow undeads will disappear after some time because of the time limit of one hour.

All five of the golems started to move towards the entrance of the canyon.

Sand serpents and sand worms also moved and went inside the ground.

Eagles took into the sky and were ready to attack from above.

Other shadow undeads also moved but stayed a little behind the golems according to Evan's order.

Soon the golems enter the canyon and the battle finally started.
