Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Sh*t" Evan clenched his teeth so hard that veins began to appear all over his face.

Before coming to Naphliam City he had decided that he would not participate in any battle and would only focus on increasing the ranks of his Monarch Core because of his injured soul.

But because of the effect of his title, not only did he participate in battle, but he even used his skills without caring about anything that further damaged his soul.

Now his soul was nine percent damaged and since his emotions already returned to normal, the pain he was feeling was simply unbearable.

He took out three A rank cores and stuffed them in his mouth. His monarch physique activated and all the cores turned into energy that rushed towards his Monarch Core.

Because of absorbing three cores at the same time, Evan felt his body was about to explode due to the vast amount of energy.

But the physical pain that was coming due to the vast amount of energy was nothing when compared to the pain that was coming from his soul so he didn't care about it and continued to refine the energy of the three cores.

As his core started to absorb the energy, the pain coming from his soul once again started to decrease. Although the effect was not as good as before because his soul was now nine percent damaged, it was still great relief for him.

"Fu*k, I never want to experience this kind of situation ever again," Evan said while taking deep breaths.

He opened his status window and looked at his title section to see if there were any changes in his 'The Cursed One' title, but all he saw in its details were question marks.

"What kind of fu*ked up title is this? If this sh*t keeps affecting me like this I might die one day"

Evan tried to stand up but his whole body was shaking. He took out the body of a B rank monster and used energy devouring on it.

As his core refined the energy of the monster's body, his condition started to stabilize.

He looked at his shadow undeads and saw most of them were destroyed. There were just ten thousand shadow undeads left from the initial thirty three thousand.

"Most of the shadow undeads were destroyed because of the shockwaves..." Evan said with a twitching mouth and used shadow resurrection on the Golden Lion.

He used a large number of souls so that the shadow resurrection wouldn't fail and once again cursed his title which forced him to damage the body of the lion so much.

"Damn it, now I can't even use shadow resurrection properly" Evan started to sweat when he activated shadow resurrection because unlike before, now he was feeling a sharp pain even while using this skill.

Because of using a large number of souls, the shadow resurrection was successful and soon a twenty meters tall shadow undead of Golden Lion came out from the dead body and stood in front of him.

"You know, I want to name you motherfu*ker because you are also one of the reasons why I am in this condition," Evan said to the shadow undead of Golden Lion after it stood in front of him.

The Golden Lion looked at Evan with confusion written all over its face. It could not understand why Evan was angry at it. He first killed it in a brutal way for no reason and now he wanted to give it a foul name. The Golden Lion really wanted to know what its crime was but there was no one to tell it anything.

Seeing how the shadow undead of Golden Lion was looking at him in confusion and disbelief, Evan felt a little awkward. He also didn't know why he killed the Lion in such a brutal way so he was not sure what to say.

"Forget it, let's get going since I let that Sonic Bat escape earlier..." Evan muttered after a moment of silence and called Ariel.

Ariel came down from the sky and Evan sat down on its back. Most of his shadow energy was used up because he was continuously turning monsters into shadow undeads so this time he absorbed the souls of all the monsters that were killed by his shadow undeads using the soul absorption skill.

After absorbing their souls using soul absorption skill, he put away their bodies and started to move forward once again.

While moving forward, he sent a message to the other six groups of shadow undeads and asked them to come back. Now that he can't make new shadow undeads, it was pointless to let them clear the city individually.

While Evan was moving forward, the Sonic Bat returned to the centre of the city where Damian was organizing the monsters.

When Damian how Sonic Bat's whole body shaking and it came alone, his heart sank and he quickly asked it what happened.

"Golden Lion is dead..." Sonic Bat said in a shaky voice when it remembered the skinless body of Golden Lion. Without hiding anything, it told Damian everything.

When Damian heard about thousands of black monsters, he suddenly remembered what Sera told him about when she asked him to escape from Naphliam City and finally understood the identity of the person who killed the Golden Lion and Lightning Horse.

"Why is that bastard here?" Damian cursed under his breath and said in an angry voice. According to the information that he received from Sera, he knew Evan was more powerful than an average S ranker and he could also summon many high ranking monsters.

"It will be difficult for us to deal with him now that our two S rankers are already dead.." Damian muttered in a low voice and a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

But the hesitation on his face soon turned into determination and he took out his communication crystal.

His determination wavered for a moment after taking out the crystal, but in the end, he still activated it and contacted someone.

Soon the call was contacted and the person on the other end answered.

"What's the matter?" Damian heard a sweet voice that sent a shiver running down his body, but he controlled his emotions and told everything that happened recently.

The person on the other end was silent for a moment after hearing Damian, but the silence did not last long and Damian soon received a reply.

"Retreat from the centre of the city and come towards the west gate, I will take care of him."

Damian's eyes lit up when he heard this and he quickly agreed to retreat from there.

"Let's go, we need to back away from here before that guy comes" Damian said to Sonic Bat and started to make preparations to back away from there.

As all of these things were happening, a Lightning Horse was hovering high above them, looking at everything with its burning purple eyes.
