Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Are you sure it is not a trap?" Malark asked Evan in a serious voice.

Evan looked at the luxurious cottage in front of him and said while nodding his head.

"He already removed the protection barrier of the castle so we can leave whenever we want. Besides..." He entered one of the rooms of the cottage and said before closing the door. "If it is really a trap I will make him regret trying to set me up."

Malark looked at the closed door of the room Evan had entered and scratched the back of his head.

"What a mess," He muttered to himself and went inside another room of the cottage.

Evan and Malark were still in the castle of the Warlord Gang. Earlier, Evan agreed to listen to Mogul about the deal he wanted to talk about. But before telling Evan what kind of deal he wanted to make, Mogul said that he needed to take care of the aftermath of the fight and offered Evan to stay in their castle.

Although Evan was suspicious of Mogul, he could tell that he really wanted to talk to him about something so he agreed to stay in the castle.

"It is already late so he will probably talk to me tomorrow morning," Evan said to himself after entering the room, and took a long shower before doing anything else.

"I chose to rob Warlord Gang because in Grunk's memories, I saw that they forced many people to sign a contract with them but..." Evan muttered in a low voice and narrowed his eyes. "... I didn't see anyone else other than the orcs inside the castle. Where are the people they forced to sign a contract with them."

He also asked Malark about this, but after listening to Evan, he too got confused because he too did not know what happened to those people.

'There is definitely something fishy going in the World Domain' Evan said inwardly and left the bathroom.

He wore a new set of clothes and sat down on the giant comfy bed.

"Let me inspect my wealth after a hard day's looting," He said and looked inside his shadow storage.

The moment Evan looked inside his shadow storage, his eyes started to shine like stars because the first thing he saw was a small mountain of essence stones.

"There are at least four million essence stones here," Evan said with drool trickling down from the corner of his mouth.

"Too bad I need to return fifty percent of the things I stole from the treasure vault.." Evan said in a low voice and thought about running away from there. But after a moment of thinking, he decided to stay there because his instincts were telling him that the thing that Mogul wanted to talk to him about was highly beneficial for him.

"Whew ~~" Suddenly Evan heard a joyful voice and saw that Elysia was treating the mountain of essence stones as a slide and was playing on it like a child.

Evan looked at Elysia for a few seconds and decided to ignore her. He did not want to comment anything about her childish behaviour.

Other than the essence stones, there were many different kinds of herbs, pills, potions and artefacts as well.

Evan ignored the herbs for the time being and looked at the pills and the potions first.

He first took out a light golden colored pill which was the largest in number among all the pills. Just as Evan took out the pill, its details appeared before his ratna.

---) Essence Condensing Pill (Rank One Low Grade): A pill that can help you turn your mana into World Essence.

"It can help me turn my mana into World Essence," Evan's eyes sparkled a little when he saw the details of the pill and he immediately used it.

After taking the pill, it took Evan around forty minutes to refine it and when he checked its result, a deep frown appeared on his face.

"This pill helped me turn 0.1% of my mana into the World Essence, but the quality of this world essence is completely garbage," Evan said when he noticed the world essence created by the pill.

Compared to his original world essence, the world essence created by the pill was at least 60% weaker. He looked at the Essence Condensing Pills that were inside his shadow storage and noticed there were at least thirty thousand of them.

"There is no way I am going to use these pills to turn my mana into world Essence," Evan said in a serious voice after seeing the result of the pill. "Instead of using these pills to turn my mana into such a trashy world essence, I will just wait and use the tower of ascension to turn my mana into world essence."

After deciding not to use the essence condensing pill, Evan looked at the next pill.

The next pill was light blue in colour and there were just six of these pills.

---) Source Pill: Using this pill after transforming all of your Mana into world essence will allow you to evolve your Core to the Rank One stage.

Evan raised an eyebrow when he read the details of the pill.

"So this is the pill Clone was talking about in the dungeon huh," Evan muttered and looked at the Source Pill closely.

"Looks like Clone was telling the truth when he said source pills are extremely rare. Although I robbed the entire treasure vault of the Warlord Gang there are only six of these pills here."

Although the source pill was very useful to the people who wanted to become a Rank One Core Evolver, it was useless to Evan.

The first requirement for using the source pill was to turn all of your mana into World Essence and Evan was far from turning all of his mana into World Essence. Besides...

"Even if I had turned all of my mana into World Essence I wouldn't have used this pill," Evan said and placed the pills back into his shadow storage.

The reason Evan said he wouldn't have used the source pill was because of his Monarch Core. Unlike normal people who possess only one core, he has two cores and he is not sure what will happen if he uses the source pill to evolve his core.

'Instead of using pills I will just use the Tower Of Ascension and see what will happen with my cores...' Evan thought inwardly and took out a light green coloured potion from his shadow storage.

---) Tranquility Potion (Rank One Mid Level): Increase your comprehension speed of conceptual energy by 20%

Evan was stunned when he saw the details of the potion and looked at how many Tranquility Potions he had.

"There are just three of them," Evan furrowed his eyebrows when he saw the low numbers of the Tranquility potions. "I still have to return fifty percent of the things that I had stolen, but this potion..."

The Tranquility Potion could help Evan increase the speed at which he was turning his world essence into conceptual energy of Void so he wanted to keep all three potions for himself.

'I will talk to Mogul about this potion tomorrow' Evan thought with a serious look on his face and placed the Tranquility Potion back in his shadow storage.

The next thing that Evan saw inside his shadow storage was a deep orange coloured stone which was giving off a powerful aura.

Evan took out the stone from his shadow storage and noticed that the atmosphere around him became strange the moment he took out the stone.

He furrowed his eyebrows when he noticed the strange change in atmosphere around him and looked at the details of the orange coloured stone... And the moment Evan looked at the details of the stone, his eyes opened wide in shock.
