Necromancer Of The Shadows

(0:09...08...07...06)

Valery took a deep breath as the countdown was about to reach zero.

She already stopped thinking about the matter of not telling Evan about the countdown, and her entire focus was placed on the yeti that was standing imposingly in front of her.

ROARRRR!!!!

Just as the countdown reached zero the bestial roar of the Yeti reverberated across the icy land.

Valery felt her mind buzzed hearing the loud roar of the yeti, but she didn't lose focus.

A new timer already appeared at the corner of her eyes.

(0: 59, 0: 58...)

Just as the timer appeared, Valery's appearance started to change.

Her light blue hair turned pure white just like the ice around her, her green eyes turned silver color and her skin turned pale white like she is suffering from anemia.

A cold aura erupted from her body covering the surrounding one hundred meters of area.

The yeti that just roared and was about to charge toward Valery, stopped dead in its tracks, and its body started to tremble because of the cold aura.

Even though the yeti was an ice-type monster it felt its entire body freezing because of the cold aura.

Feeling the lethal threat the yeti didn't shy away and quickly turn around to run away.

But just as it turned around it felt someone touching its back, the Yeti turned around only to see cold silver eyes that were looking at it without any emotions.

Valery who was standing twenty meters away from it a moment ago was now standing just behind it, touching its back with her pale white hand.

"Freeze," Valery said in a cold tone.

Just as the Yeti heard the cold tone a shiver run down in its spine, and it felt like even its soul was frozen.

Swishhh!!!

A blast of icy aura emerged from Valery's hand that was touching Yeti's back, and in less than a second it turned into an ice statue.

After the Yeti turned into an ice statue Valery just slapped the statue casually, and the statue turned into icy dust along with the sealed Yeti inside it.

Just as the Yeti died Valery's appearance once again returned to normal, and she dropped to the ground while panting heavily. Her face was pale and a faint tickle of blood was coming out from the corner of her mouth.

Her body was shuddering like she was feeling extremely cold.

But when she felt her body being teleported away Valery smiled a little, and before she was sent out she glanced at the time that stopped after she killed the Yeti.

(0:51)

She killed the Yeti in just nine seconds. She was sure that Evan will take more time than her.

After being teleported out from the fourth floor, Valery found herself standing before a giant white door that was ten meters high.

Her face was still pale and her body was shaking so she took out a potion from her storage ring and quickly drank it.

Some color returned to her face after she drank the potion, and her body stopped shaking.

"Looks like you will be going to give all of your cores to me" but just as Valery's body stopped shaking after drinking the potion, she heard a familiar voice from behind her, she quickly turned around only to see Evan sitting on the ground behind her.

Seeing Evan arrive here before her Valery's body once again started to shake and she can't help but ask, "how?"

When Evan heard Valery he just showed a smile and did not say anything.

There is no way he is going to tell anyone, how he arrived here because if other people found out about it he will definitely face many troubles.

*******

A few minutes ago.

"Fu*k, why is the hell that monster is so far away from me? I already lost thirty seconds figuring out what is going on here" Evan shouted as he ran towards the Yeti that was standing in the middle of the arena.

While running Evan looked around to see, if he can find the remaining two monsters, but he was not able to see any other monster.

'Maybe they will appear after I kill this monster' Evan thought and arrived near the monster.

When Evan saw it was a three meters tall Yeti he did not give a sh*t about it and looked at the timer.

(2:15)

'Just two minutes and fifteen seconds are left. I won't be able to kill three monsters in such a short period of time' Evan thought and finally made his choice.

He quickly used mana reinforcement, but this time instead of stopping at 80% he used it to full power.

A light blue layer of mana along with a faint layer of black appeared around him. Evan felt endless power surging inside his body, but along with the increase in power, Evan also felt pain all over his body.

Evan still remembered when he tested the mana reinforcement at 100% power after his fight against Mike, the pain become unbearable after five minutes.

'I should be fine as long as I don't use it for long' Evan thought and he looked at the Yeti in front of him with narrowed eyes.

But Evan made a mistake when he thought he will be fine after using mana reinforcement to its 100% power.

Evan who was already in rush did not wait any longer after using mana reinforcement.

Boooommm!

With a loud booming sound the ice arena beneath Evan's feet shattered, and he appeared before the Yeti who was standing twenty meters away from him in an instant.

But just as he appeared before the Yeti using his new power, he felt a throbbing pain all over his body.

Evan was confused and almost dropped to the ground when he felt the pain, but remembering he don't have much time he gritted his teeth and focused on Yeti.

After arriving before Yeti, Evan noticed it did not show any reaction even though he came just before it. But Evan didn't think about it since his body was aching all over.

He clenched his fist and punched the face of the Yeti with his full power.

Because of using mana reinforcement to 100% power, Evan's current strength was higher than a C+ rank hunter.

Boooooooommmmmm!!

A loud booming sound echoed out as the Yeti was sent flying backward like a meteorite, the ground around Evan shattered like glass because of the Shockwaves and ice shards flew everywhere.

Although Evan was feeling a throbbing pain all over his body he didn't stop, he took out his nether steel sword and disappeared from his place.

Evan suddenly appeared running beside the Yeti that was still flying backward and swung his sword in a swift motion.

A head rolled to the ground while a headless body of the Yeti continue to fly backward, and crashed fifty meters away.

Just as Evan killed the Yeti he quickly stopped using mana reinforcement. He didn't understand why he was feeling so much pain even though he didn't use it for a long time.

But he knew it wasn't the time to think about it.

While enduring the pain Evan started to look around for the second monster.

'Where the hell is the second monster?' Evan cursed and looked at the timer.

But just when he saw the timer he was stunned.

(2:07)

The timer was showing he has two minutes and seven seconds left. Which means he killed the Yeti in eight seconds since he started the fight at (2:15).

But Evan was not stunned because of the time he took to kill the Yeti.

He was stunned because the timer stopped. It stopped at (2:07)

Just when Evan was confused about what is going on a notification appeared before him.
