Necromancer Of The Shadows

After giving the empty storage ring to Lucian, Cedar immediately grabbed Evan's hand and took out a silver plate from his storage ring that was engraved with a complex looking rune.

Evan was stunned when Cedar suddenly grabbed his hand. But before he could ask anything, he felt silent space ripples emanating from the plate that Cedar took out and enveloping both of their bodies.

When Evan felt the space ripples, his eyes widened in disbelief.

'This basta*d is a lunatic...' Evan cursed inwardly when he realized Cedar was planning to run away with the airship and the Enlightenment Stone.

He really wanted to beat the sh*t out of Cedar because he was certain that there must be a space-sealing formation inside the auction house, which would prevent them from teleporting away.

But to Evan's surprise, he felt a strange force emanating from the plate Cedar was holding, and the restrictions of the space-sealing formation completely disappeared from the room they were in.

In less than a second, both of their bodies were engulfed by the space force, and they started to disappear from the room. When Evan heard what Cedar said to Lucian before they disappeared, he nearly laughed out loud, seeing the shocked look on Lucian's face.

Far away from the star city, a silver light flashed and Evan and Cedar appeared there.

Immediately after appearing there, Cedar took out the Rank Three airship that Lucian had gifted him and looked at Evan with a grin on his face.

"Let's run..." He said and the door of the jet-black airship opened.

Evan was still in a state of shock because of the sudden turn of events so he blankly followed Cedar inside the airship.

The airship appeared ten meters in size from the outside, but once inside, it revealed dimensions exceeding two hundred meters in length and width. There were over ten rooms inside the airship including three essence gathering rooms.

After entering the airship, Cedar immediately made his way to the front area where the control room was located as if he already knew what he had to do.

In the control room, there was a control panel filled with complex-looking buttons. Cedar ignored the control panel and walked in front of a white stone that was floating in the middle of the room.

After approaching the white stone, Cedar immediately poured his world essence into it, and the stone started to glow.

[Registering signature of your world essence...]

A robotic voice suddenly sounded and a white light burst forth from the stone, covering Cedar's entire body.

In just a few seconds, the airship was registered with his world essence and Cedar felt as if he could control the entire airship with a single thought.

Although Cedar wanted to explore all the functions of the airship, he knew it wasn't the time for that.

"Fly towards the Dark Forest..." He ordered the AI assistant of the airship and the ship immediately started to move.

A map showing the location of the Dark Forest appeared in front of Cedar, and once he confirmed that the location on the map was correct, he immediately ordered the AI to move.

Through the map, Cedar saw that they were around fifty thousand kilometres away from the Star City.

Although the distance was vast, he knew that a Rank Three or Rank Four evolver could cover this kind of distance in a very short period of time.

Just before the airship took off, Evan, who was at the back, released Kazil and some of his shadow undeads outside.

'I am sure some people will be able to track us down and will come here,' Evan said inwardly, shaking his head and feeling a headache because of Cedar's recklessness.

In just a minute, Cedar set up everything, and the airship started to fly towards the Dark Forest. As a Rank Three mid-

level airship, its speed was much higher than Cedar's and Evan's flying speed.

Once the airship started flying towards the Dark Forest, Cedar walked out of the control room and saw Evan looking at him with a neutral expression on his face.

"The teleportation Rune created by Ashley is really powerful. It teleported us nearly fifty thousand kilometres away from the Star City despite the fact that there was a space-sealing formation..." Cedar said and laughed dryly.

Evan's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he saw Cedar laughing in a dry manner and he felt like giving him a good beating.

Seeing Evan's expressions, Cedar felt Evan would really beat the sh*t out of him if he continued to laugh so he stopped laughing and scratched the back of his head.

"I'm sorry, I should have told you that I was planning to run away," Cedar said in an honest voice and apologised.

Evan rubbed his eyebrows when he heard Cedar's apology and sighed.

Honestly, he was really angry because of what Cedar did. If by any chance the teleportation rune that Cedar used had failed to teleport them away, he was sure that both of them would have died in the Star City.

The thing that he did was just too risky. Although he really wanted to give him a piece of his mind, he knew that there was no point saying anything to him now that both of them were on the run.

"Were you planning to steal the Enlightenment Stone from the start?" Evan asked after a moment.

When Cedar saw Evan's expression return to normal, he sighed in relief and shook his head.

"I planned to steal it after I saw the airship. If this airship hadn't appeared in the auction, I would have purchased the Enlightenment Stone using my essence stones. After all, even with our top speed, it would have been too risky for us to run away from Rank Four Core Evolvers..." Cedar said and looked at the interior of the airship with a satisfied look on his face. "But with the help of this airship and the teleportation formation, I don't think anyone would be able to catch us."

Evan frowned when he heard Cedar. "What do you mean you would have purchased the Enlightenment Stone using the essence stones, don't tell me you really have one hundred million essence stones."

Hearing Evan, Cedar smiled and nodded his head.

Evan was stunned when he saw Cedar nodding his head and remembered that Cedar had told him that he would bring him somewhere after returning to the closed world of Drayds.

Evan took a deep breath to calm down and asked after a moment, "How much time will it take us to reach the Dark Forest?"

"We should reach there in three or four hours..." Cedar said after taking a look at the map.

Evan nodded his head hearing Cedar and hoped that they would reach the Dark Forest without any problem.

Two hours later, the airship was still flying towards the dark forest.

Evan and Cedar were sitting on the couch inside the airship, gazing out the window.

At this moment, Evan's expression changed as he realized he had lost his connection with Kazil, whom he had left at the place where they were teleported.
