Necromancer Of The Shadows



After making up his mind, Evan first took off his communication bracelet.

Since he doesn't want anyone to know he is going to the front line it was necessary to take off his bracelet.

There is a tracking device in the bracelet and if he goes to the front line while wearing it, there is a chance that he will be exposed.

After taking off his bracelet he put it in his shadow storage. On the screen of his bracelet, it was showing 69,765 merits.

By killing monsters you can get merit points that can be exchanged for artefacts or other things.

The number of merit points you get after killing monsters depends on their rank.

For killing F rank monster you will get one point.

F+ rank = 3 points

E rank = 5 points

E+ rank = 10 points

D rank = 15 points

D+ rank = 25 points

C rank = 50 points

C+ rank = 100 points

B rank = 250 points

B+ rank = 500 points

A rank = 3000 points

A+ rank = 7000 points

S rank = 25,000 points

Evan killed many monsters along with Sophie and others.

Since they were working in a team it was impossible for Mark and Caleb to earn points because their job was to attract the monsters and stop them.

The killing job was left to Sophie, David and Evan.

But before the monster tide began, they already decided to divide the points equally so Caleb and Mark were not dissatisfied with this arrangement.

After putting away his bracelet Evan looked around, and after confirming no one was around him, he used the shadow walk skill.

Normally, after using the shadow walk skill he would have turned into an invisible shadow, but after his monarch core reached to C rank, all of his shadow related skills improved a little bit. ( read chapter 236 for details)

Now he can decide whether he wants to change into shadow form or not after activating the skill.

If he decided to not turn into a shadow after using the skill, his skill will just act like a normal invisibility skill.

Because of not turning into a shadow and just using its invisibility effect, the mana cost of the skill will be reduced by 50%

Of course, since the mana cost is reduced, the performance of the skill will also reduce greatly.

While using shadow walk if he doesn't turn into shadow form, he won't be able to pass through the barriers and other restrictions.

After becoming invisible, Evan used shadow wings and took into the blue sky and flew towards the front line.

While flying toward the front line, he was still keeping an eye on what was happening in the A rank zone.

If the formation of the A rank zone broke down, the hunters who are in the B rank and other zones will be in great danger.

Through Eclipse he saw Amanda was still fighting against the hell ape trying to leave the hell prison.

Along with Shadow wings, he also used wind manipulation to increase his speed, and in just thirty minutes he reached near A rank zone.

In the A rank zone, there were many high ranking monsters and hunters.

Evan knew they will easily be able to feel his presence even though he was using shadow walk skill.

His skill was still not strong enough to hide him from the A and A+ rankers.

Seeing many high ranking monsters and hunters Evan's eyes narrowed.

His monarch core buzzed and instead of mana, he used shadow energy to activate his shadow walk skill.

Just as he used shadow energy to activate his shadow walk skill, his presence completely disappeared from there.

Because of shadow energy, the effect of his skill was increased by many folds.

But at the same time, Evan felt some pressure on his mind. Using shadow energy instead of mana put great pressure on his mind.

The last time when he used shadow energy after his advancement, he didn't feel this pressure because at that time he was receiving shadow energy through his connection with the shadow realm.

But now that he is using the energy of his monarch core, it was putting pressure on his mind.

With this Evan also confirmed one thing that he was thinking about.

If he uses shadow energy to cast skills, it will put pressure on his mind and soul, while if he uses shadow energy like mana reinforcement to strengthen his body, then it will put pressure on his physical body instead of his mind and soul.

After using shadow energy to activate shadow walk Evan felt his presence completely disappear, and without hesitation, he charged toward A rank zone.

When he passed through the A rank zone, even A and A + rankers were not able to notice him.

But Evan can feel his spiritual power was being drained at rapid speed and the pressure on his mind was increasing because of using shadow energy.

To reach his destination as soon as possible, he used shadow energy on his shadow wings as well.

When he replaced mana with shadow energy to use shadow wings, his flying speed increased greatly.

Like a shooting star, he flew straight towards the front line.

Because of his increase in speed, it did not take him long before he was able to see the front line.

Even before he reached there he can feel powerful auras of monsters and the hunters present there.

He was sure that anyone present on the front line can kill him with a single attack.

He also saw Damian who was still trying his best to stop the monsters despite being seriously injured.

Evan avoided Damian's location purposely and continue to fly forward. Using his high speed it was not hard for him to avoid other hunters and monsters.

But surprisingly even after passing through the front line Evan didn't stop and continue to fly.

Soon he left the front line, and approached the location where Amanda was fighting against the hell ape.
