Necromancer Of The Shadows



As the first rays of the morning sun pierced through the tent, Evan slowly stirred awake. As he was in the wilderness, the air was cool and carried the earthy scent of the forest.

After the full night's sleep, he was completely refreshed and the fatigue of the last two days disappeared.

"What a strange dream," said Evan with a small smile on his face. He didn't know why, but after seeing that dream he was feeling quite good.

"Progenitor Of Shadow Dragons huh" Normally he always felt uncomfortable after seeing those strange dreams, but this time he did not feel any kind of discomfort. On the contrary, he wanted to see that dream once again.

"This dream even solved my problem regarding the names of my shadow undead" Evan stood up and stretched his body, "Now I don't have to worry about the names of my new shadow undeads."

This time Evan didn't even bother to think about the person he had seen in his dream, he already knew that there is something wrong with all these dreams and they are not normal. But since there is nothing he can do about it at the moment, he just decided to not think too much about it.

ROAR -!

Suddenly he heard a loud roar and sensed the auras of some monsters.

He leisurely walked out of his tent and used his shadow senses. When he used shadow senses, he saw Albelu and his other shadow undeads glaring at the small group of orcs.

There were ten orcs in the group, the leader of the orcs was at A rank and the other nine ranged from C+ to B+ rank.

All the orcs were trapped inside a lightning cage and were looking at his shadow undeads with horror-filled looks.

Last night these orcs smelled the aroma of a delicious human and came here for a fest, but just as they came here, they were caught by these big bosses.

Evan walked towards Albelu and others and soon reached the place where Orcs were trapped.

Yesterday before going to sleep he asked his shadow undeads to capture some monsters alive if possible because he wanted to test his energy devouring skill on a living creature.

"Good job," Evan said while patting Albelu's head who purred like a cat.

He looked at the group of orcs and chose a B+ rank orc as his target.

"Energy Devouring"

The Devouring Vines charged towards the B+ rank orc who tried to get away. But suddenly some lightning chains came out from the ground and stopped it from moving away.

"ROAR" devouring vines pierced through its tough skin and the orc roared out in pain.

The other nine orcs, including the A rank, looked at the B+ rank orc in horror as its body began to wither.

Evan also raised an eyebrow when he saw the painful expression on the orc's face and how its body was withering.

'Why do I feel like I somehow turned into a demonic cultivator of a Wuxia novel' Evan can't help but think after seeing the eerie scene in front of him.

In just one minute, the body of the B+ rank orc turned into dust. Evan focused on the energy which was inside the devouring vines and sent it towards his prime core.

In refining energy, his Prime Core was much slower than his Monarch Core. His prime took about five minutes before it refined all the energy.

When Evan checked its progress, he saw the energy he received was even less than a C+ rank core.

"What the hell is this?" Evan said with a baffled expression on his face after seeing the amount of energy he received.

"That orc was a B+ rank monster and if I had killed it normally instead of using energy devouring on it, I could have even found a core inside it."

Evan was very upset by the amount of energy his prime core received, but suddenly he thought about something and his eyes lit up.

"I might be wrong but I will be able to confirm it soon" Evan muttered and looked at the remaining nine orcs who were shivering.

Among nine orcs, one was A rank, two were B+ rank, three were B rank and three were C+ rank.

"I will be going to the central city in a few days for the tournament. I still have many slots left in my shadow save, let's fill all of them before going back to the city"

"Kill them without damaging their bodies," Evan said to Albelu who howled out loud.

The lightning cage which was trapping orcs lit up, and many tendrils of Purple lightning came out of it.

The tendrils of lightning pierced orcs' bodies and went towards their brains killing them instantly.

After the orcs died, Evan activated shadow resurrection and nine shadow orcs appeared before him.

(Growth Link Skill Activated )

Since there were many low-level orcs in the group his growth link skill activated.

The rank of all the orcs who were below B+ rank skyrocketed and they reached B+ rank, meanwhile, B+ rank orcs received a good power boost from the growth link skill.

Evan summoned back most of his shadow undeads leaving behind only Albelu, A1, A2, Adam and Oli.

"Let's go for a small hunt," Evan said to his A rank shadow undeads and all of them dashed into the wilderness.

Because of their high speed, in less than two hours Evan's fifty slots of shadow save were full.

Evan was not planning to keep all of these shadow undeads. If he found a good monster in the future, he will just remove one of these shadow undeads and will save that monster.

"With my current skills and these shadow undeads, I think I can even clear an A rank dungeon without any problem," Evan said, as he put away the body of a monster into his shadow storage.

After putting away the body he looked in the direction of the city and flew away from the wilderness.
