Necromancer Of The Shadows

The sky was filled with bright stars and the light of the moon was illuminating the wilderness. The monsters who hunt during the night were already out, searching for their target. Sounds of monster roars and fights were echoing throughout the wilderness, sending a chill running down to the spines of the hunters who came into the wilderness to earn a fortune during the night.

Amid the roars and fights of the monsters, a Van was moving forward in the wilderness.

Cedric was sitting in the driving seat and was continuously releasing his aura of A+ rank hunter while driving. Because of his powerful aura, no monster dared to come near the van. Hana was sitting beside him, fully controlling his mind.

Evan was sitting at the back of the van, along with ten people who were unconscious.

Normally Cedric has to deliver fifteen people to Amara every month.

But if by any chance he successfully captures a hunter who is B rank or above, Amara instructed him to deliver that hunter to her immediately.

Since there were still two days before Cedric sent the people he captured to Amara, and Evan had no time to waste, he used his shadow shrouding wings and concealed his aura to that of a B rank hunter.

Cedric contacted the people who worked under Amara and told them that he captured a B rank hunter, and just as he expected, those people told Cedric to bring the B rank hunter along with the people he captured this month.

Evan also used the second effect of the growth link skill and took Illusia's skill 'Chameleon Illusion' to change his appearance.

Currently, his appearance was completely different. His face was looking like a middle aged man with black eyes and spiky sky blue hair.

Yes, he was looking like a middle aged punk!

He was sure no one would be able to identify him with his current look.

"Cedric never met Amara in person. He always hands over the people he captured to the hunters who are working under her so he is not sure about their exact strength..." Evan muttered while deep in thought, "I should try to figure out their strength before doing anything."

Evan was sure that in a head on fight, he could easily crush even five S rank hunters alone, but he was being cautious because of the formations that Amara might have created around her base in order to keep it safe.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, Evan was a little fearful of the formations after what happened inside the Myrid Formation Dungeon.

Currently, he has the advantage because Amara and others are not aware that he is going to attack them and he is planning to use this advantage to its fullest.

"It's a pity I was not able to use the two locked skills of Gobu even with my current world essence. The name of those two skills was really bada*s." Evan said while shaking his head.

--) Reality Shifting: [Locked] (Can't Be Used Without The World Essence)

---) Limited Temporal Manipulation: [Locked] (Can't Be Used Without The World Essence)

Evan tried to use these two skills of Gobu while he was in the central city, but just like Gobu, he also wasn't able to use the skills because the amount of world essence he had was very low. He tried to use shadow energy to activate those two skills but even with shadow energy, he was not able to activate these two skills.

"Well, looks like I will need to spend some time inside the dungeon and increase the amount of world essence I have..." Evan said out loud and closed his eyes while leaning back.

Six hours later...

"Master, we are about to reach" Evan opened his eyes when he heard Cedric's voice coming from the front of the van.

He took a deep breath and looked at the ten unconscious people who were sitting around him.

"Let's hope everything will work out" Evan muttered in a low voice and closed his eyes, pretending to be unconscious just like other people.

A few minutes later, Cedric stopped the van in an area that was looking like a swamp.

Although Evan's eyes were closed, he was using his spiritual senses to monitor his surroundings. With the help of his spiritual senses, Evan noticed five men who were hiding behind thick mangroves that were growing in the swamp.

'Three B+ rank and two A rank hunters, huh,' Evan thought inwardly after seeing the rank of the five people.

When they saw Cedric coming out of the van, they all stopped hiding and came out from behind the mangroves as well.

"Hurry up and take them out so that I can go back," Cedric said in an irritated voice when he saw them.

Evan instructed Cedric to behave like he always does with them so all five of them didn't find it strange and just walked to the back of the van without saying anything.

They were curious about Hana who was sitting at Cedric's right shoulder, but they didn't ask him anything. Although they all were working directly under Amara, Cedric was still an A+ rank hunter and they knew he wouldn't hesitate to beat the sh*t out of them if they piss him off.

After opening the back of the van, all five of them looked at the ten people and their eyes stopped on Evan for a moment.

One of the A rank hunters who had green eyes and brown hair used his skill and wind wrapped around all the people who were unconscious inside the van including Evan. He waved his hand and all of them started to float a little above the floor of the van. Within seconds the brown-haired hunter brought all the unconscious people out of the van.

Cedric did not even bother to say goodbye to them after they took out Evan and others and directly left from there with Hana.

"What an arrogant bastard," one of the B+ rank hunters said after Cedric left.

"He is also just a dog like us but he behaves like he is at the top of the world" the second A rank hunter said with a sneer on his face.

Evan was still looking at them with his spiritual senses while pretending to be unconscious.

All five of the hunters cursed Cedric for a few minutes before the brown-haired hunter told them to move.

They brought Evan and others deeper into the forest of the mangroves. The ground was filled with muddy water and Evan felt the auras of a few monsters who were roaming in the mangroves.

'Where are they taking us?' Evan thought, feeling confused because he could not see anything within the range of his spiritual senses that was now thirty kilometres after he reached A+ rank.

Just as Evan was wondering where the hunters were taking them, they stopped near a stone that was placed inside the muddy water amid the mangroves.

Under the confused eyes of Evan, the brown-haired hunter stepped forward and placed his hand on the rock.

Just as he placed his hand on the rock, a formation that was hidden within the muddy water lit up and all of them disappeared from the place they were standing.
