Necromancer Of The Shadows

"This guy is quite strong..." Evan muttered in a low voice as he looked at the destruction caused by Zorda after using his Blood Boost skill. He was standing on top of Biscuit (the name of the black bird) while resting Carnage on his shoulder.

His shoulder-length black hair were a bit messy because of the strong wind and he was wearing black pants and a black coat, giving him the appearance of a gangster.

"Biscuit, I am late for the party because of you, so you need to take responsibility for it," Evan said in a serious voice.

Biscuit's mouth twitched uncontrollably when it heard Evan and it felt like crying after hearing its new name.

'I am a Rank Three monster, not a cat. Give me a good name, damn it,' Biscuit really wanted to say this out loud, but it knew that it was useless to talk to Evan, so it just nodded its head.

Evan immediately wanted to go to the location of the phenomenon after getting Biscuit's soul essence, but Biscuit was badly injured, and Evan needed to heal it first; otherwise, it would have been useless even if Evan brought it with him.

Although Elysia's healing was powerful, she was still just a mid-level Rank One Core Evolver, so it took her three whole days to heal Biscuit, who was a Rank Three monster.

Once Biscuit was fully healed, Evan immediately decided to head towards the location of the phenomenon. Unfortunately, before he could reach there, the phenomenon ended.

"Were you the one who attacked me earlier?" While Evan was thinking about the things that happened in the last few days, he heard an indifferent voice and saw Zorda looking at him.

Evan was really surprised when Zorda cut off his entire arm earlier in order to avoid getting frozen by the ice bullet and knew that he was quite powerful.

"If I say it wasn't me but someone else would you believe me?" Evan didn't answer Zorda's question and asked instead.

Hearing Evan, the mouths of Blaze and Zorda couldn't help but twitch. He was literally holding a rifle in his hands, but he still had the gall to ask such a nonsensical question.

"You are as annoying as rumours described you," Zorda said while taking some deep breaths to hold his anger.

"There are rumours about me?" Evan raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked in a curious tone. "What kind of rumours have you heard about me?"

"Nothing good, actually. I heard you are just a fu*ked up bastard who goes around messing with people."

Blaze, who was listening to their conversation nodded her head in agreement hearing Zorda.

"Well..." Evan wanted to defend himself when he heard Zorda, but when he thought about the things that he did after entering the Tomb, he wasn't able to say anything and felt what Zorda was saying was true.

*Cough* He coughed in order to change the subject and his expression turned serious.

"Let's stop the chit-chat. Why don't you give that thing to me?" He asked while putting Carnage back inside his shadow storage. He was ready to summon his shadow undead and was prepared for a tough fight, but Zorda's next words surprised him.

"Sure, you want this, right?" The demon asked while taking out the Solarian Sunfruit from his storage ring. Evan didn't expect this kind of response from Zorda, so he didn't reply to him when he took out the Solarian Sunfruit.

Blaze also raised an eyebrow when she heard Zorda and wondered what he was planning.

"Why aren't you saying anything? You don't want it?" Zorda asked in the same plain voice when Evan remained silent.

Evan looked at the blue-skinned demon in front of him and felt that something was not right. He used his Eyes of the Abyss to see if there was any trap or anything around the area, but he did not find anything.

"Well, it seems you don't want it. Since that's the case, I will be going first," Zorda said and turned around to leave when Evan didn't respond.

"Leave that thing before you go."

Zorda stopped and looked at Evan with a slight smirk on his face.

"You weren't saying anything, so I thought you didn't want it," Zorda said in a plain voice while playing with the small fruit in his hands. As he was playing with it, Evan and Blaze suddenly felt many people approaching them.

Evan looked in the distance and saw Voidscar, a Rank Three ape, Momon, a white-haired woman with the lower half of a snake, and many other people coming in their direction.

"It will become troublesome once they arrive here," Evan muttered in a low voice and looked back at Zorda, who was also staring at him with a small smile on his face. Seeing the smile on Zorda's face, Evan started to get a bad feeling.

"Hey Evan, why don't we make a deal?"

Evan's eyes narrowed when he heard Zorda, and the bad feeling inside his heart intensified. 'How does he know my name? I am sure I never revealed my name to them.'

Zorda smiled when he saw Evan's narrowed eyes and continued. "You see, it will not be easy for me to handle all of them alone. I am sure all of them will come after me because of the Solarian Sunfruit, so how about you help me take care of them."

"Why should I help you? I don't think we are friends or anything," Evan asked in a cold voice.

"Of course, we are not friends," Zorda said in a calm voice. "But it will be very beneficial for you to help me."

"What kind of benefit?" Evan asked while raising an eyebrow.

Zorda's smile widened when he heard Evan and he sent a sound transmission to him.

Evan heard the sound transmission that Zorda sent him, and his eyes opened wide in shock.

'If you help me, I will not tell anyone that you entered the Tomb with Drayds and their hidden world is inside the Dark Forest.'
