Necromancer Of The Shadows

Evan looked at the details of the earring and was instantly stunned.

---) The Shielding Amulet Earring (A Rank): This earring automatically forms a protective barrier around the wearer in case of sudden attack or imminent danger, reflecting and repelling incoming attacks. The duration of the barrier is determined by the amount of damage received by it. The barrier will disappear after exhausting its energy. Once the barrier is used it will take six hours before the wearer can use it again.

"A protection type artifact," Evan said with shining eyes after reading the details of the earring.

Moreover, it is an A rank artifact!

Not only it can stop attacks, it can even reflect them back to the attackers.

He wasn't sure about the power of the barrier that the earring can form, but he was sure that it will at least be able to block the attacks of an A rank hunter for some time.

"This earring can save my life at a critical moment" Evan muttered and wore the earring without further delay.

"I think the reward for clearing this den is even better than clearing the dungeon" Evan can't help but say after wearing the earring.

Very rarely people will receive a reward whose rank is higher than the dungeon. But here he received an A rank artifact even though he didn't clear the dungeon.

But when Evan thought about the difficulty of the thornbloom den, he can't help but think that this reward is actually fair.

It was very easy for him to clear this den because of his shadow resurrection skill, but for normal hunters, it is close to impossible to clear this den.

Since it is a B rank dungeon, people who are A rank can't enter in it.

And the maximum number of hunters that can enter this dungeon at the same time is ten, even if ten B+ rank hunters came together to clear this den, it is almost impossible for them to kill around 400 thornblooms.

"Is there any other place like this in this dungeon" Evan muttered while rubbing his chin.

There are four areas in the verdant wilds dungeon, and currently, he is the western area of the dungeon which is the desert.

He carefully thought about the details he read about the VWD but after a moment he shook his head.

"No one mentioned any odd place like the thornbloom den in the other three areas," Evan said with a sigh and felt a little regretful.

There is a chance that there are places like this in the other three areas but no one found them till now, but Evan doesn't have time to search for them.

Considering the size of the other three areas it might take him months before he can search the whole dungeon.

"This cave is a good place, I should take some rest here and go to the ruins to see that elf waifu," Evan said while ordering Aqua and others to guard the entrance of the cave.

He ate something before going to sleep. He wasn't able to take proper rest after entering the dungeon since he was travelling all the time.

He woke up after five hours feeling energetic once again. His mana was fully recovered but his shadow energy was still recovering.

While he was sleeping no monster came to bother him so when he walked out of the cave he saw Aqua and Nekros bickering with each other while Eclipse was the only one paying attention to surroundings.

"These two are really unreliable," Evan said with a speechless look while shaking his head.

He sat down on Eclipse's back and once again moved towards the ruins.

'When that elf attacked the fire cacti that I sent to check her, her eyes were emotionless, I wonder if she will talk to me if I try to communicate with her' Evan thought while deep in thought.

But suddenly he remembered one crucial fact and his eyes can't help but twitch, 'Even if she can speak, how the hell I am going to understand her? It is not like she will speak the same language as me'

There is no elf in the Arora world, so Evan was sure, that the elf won't be able to understand the language of the Arora world.

"Damm, why the hell I am thinking too much, I will just turn her into shadow undead and I will be able to know everything about her"

With his shadow undead Evan has a special connection and even if a shadow undead can't speak, he can still understand what it wanted to say.

Just like how Aqua and others can't speak but Evan can still understand them.

He really wanted to know how that elf came here, and what is she doing in that ruins.

'Since people can find information about the higher world in the ruins, she might also be someone from there, if I turn her into shadow undead I might be able to get useful information from her'

It took Evan ten hours to reach at the pond where the location of the ruins was located.

It took him less time because he already killed most of the monsters and there was no one to hinder him.

He encountered some monsters while coming back but after killing them he did not turn them into shadow undead.

Evan was sure that he will be able to defeat the elf without any problems, and besides, the monsters he killed were all far away from the pond.

Even if he turned them into shadow undead they would have disappeared even before he can reach the pond.

After coming back to the pond he summoned back Aqua and others into his shadow storage and jumped inside the pond.

He came at the bottom of the one and touched the green stone which was the entrance of the ruins.

Just as he touched the stone he disappeared from the pond, and appeared inside the lush forest just like last time.

"Let's see if I can get something from that elf or not" Evan muttered and walked towards the giant tree.
