Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 944  A Fated Meeting (Part 1)

"It's good that I didn't bring Biscuit; otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to survive here," Evan muttered to himself as he pulled the Moon's Edge sword from the head of a Peak Rank Two monster.

Upon reaching the central area of the first layer a few days ago, Evan noticed many monster groups with no shortage of Rank Three monsters among them.

Biscuit was just a beginner-level Rank Three monster and it was very dangerous for it to come here, so to keep it safe, Evan told it to go back once he reached the central area of the first layer.

Although Biscuit wanted to follow him, it knew that it would be very dangerous for it to move into the central area, so it didn't urge and went back.

"Although it's not long since I parted with that dumb bird, I'm already starting to miss its barbecue," Evan said with a sigh as he thought about the barbecues made by Biscuit.

He jumped down from the top of the Peak Rank Two monster he had just killed and the shadow energy inside his core moved.

"Shadow Resurrection!"

He used his Shadow Resurrection skill, and in just a few seconds, around fifty new shadow undeads rose in front of him.

Among the fifty shadow undeads, only eight were Rank Two, while the rest were Rank One monsters.

After becoming a beginner-level Rank Two Core Evolver, the number of shadow undeads Evan could save reached 30,000. The current number of shadow undeads in his army was a little over 9,000, so he was taking every opportunity to increase their number while moving towards the pillar of light.

It had been two days since he fought against the Sand Lizard and during these two days, he had covered quite a bit of distance and was not far from the pillar of light.

"Turning Peak Rank Two monsters into shadow undeads costs quite a bit of Primordial Shadow Energy," Evan said with a shake of his head and summoned back all of his new shadow undeads into his shadow storage.

The group of monsters Evan had just killed was relatively weak, so he didn't use Shadow World to stop the energy waves as the battle ended in just a few seconds.

"Elora, let's rest for a bit here before we move forward," Evan said, looking at Elora, who was hiding behind a sand dune.

Hearing Evan, Elora came out from behind the sand dune and walked towards him.

With the help of one of his shadow undeads, Evan created two ice chairs, a table, some cutlery, and sat down along with the little red-haired girl.

After sitting down, he took out the cooked meat of a beginner-level Rank Three monster from his shadow storage and both of them started to eat.

The meat of the rank three monster was full of world essence, and even though Evan couldn't refine it properly due to not having enough time, it still helped him increase the rank of his core slightly.

'According to the information I received from Team Black, I will have to face a Peak Rank Three monster in order to get near the pillar of light...' Evan thought inwardly as he took a bite of the golden brown meat. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

'Before leaving the cave, I had decided to let Elora deal with the Peak Rank Three monsters, but after experimenting with my Zone during the past two days, I feel like I can deal with a Peak Rank Three monster myself. Though, I will run out of void energy, Primordial Shadow Energy, World Essence and spiritual power in less than five seconds.'

During the last two days, Evan had used his shadow undeads only when he encountered a group of monsters that had Rank Three monsters.

If the group of monsters only had Rank One and Rank Two monsters, he dealt with them by himself, as he wanted to test the effect of his Zone... And honestly, his Zone turned out to be more powerful than he initially thought.

His choice to use the Void Senses skill to create his Skill Domain completely changed his Zone, and after experimenting with Rank Two monsters, he found it was very easy for him to kill them, though the consumption of energy was very high.

If he used the full power of his Zone, he would run out of energy in less than five seconds... and this was the case when he was supplementing his Void Energy with the Primordial Shadow Energy.

Normally, he wouldn't have been able to use his Primordial Shadow Energy to supplement his Void Energy, as both of them are completely different.

But because of the nature of his Zone, which was influenced by the Void Senses skill, he was successfully able to use his Primordial Shadow Energy along with the Void Energy.

For quite some time, Evan knew that his Primordial Shadow Energy is made from the combination of different kinds of conceptual energies. Although he did not know about every single conceptual energy that made up his Primordial Shadow Energy, he was aware that there were the conceptual energies of Death and Soul mixed inside it.

Because of using the Void Senses skill while creating his Domain, Evan's Zone leaned towards spiritual attacks, and because of the conceptual energy of Soul mixed inside his shadow energy, he found that he could empower his Zone using his Primordial Shadow Energy.

After finding out that he could empower his Zone using the Primordial Shadow Energy, he tried many things and finally created a skill that uses his Primordial Shadow Energy, Void Energy, Spiritual Power, and World Essence.

All in all, the skill he created using his Zone combined all of his available energies into one.

He had used this skill while fighting against a beginner-level Rank Three monster, and the result turned out to be better than he thought.

The only drawback of this skill was that after using it once, all of his energy reserves would drop to the very bottom, and he would have to wait at least 12 hours to return to his peak condition as the recovery speed of his Primordial Shadow Energy and Spiritual Power was very slow when compared to the recovery speed of World Essence and Void Energy.

'After using this skill to defeat the beginner-level Rank Three monster, I didn't use it on any other monster as I didn't want to waste 12 hours to recover my energy once again, so I don't know how effective it will be against a Peak Rank Three monster,' Evan thought inwardly and glanced at Elora who was eating beside him.

Seeing her eating peacefully, a sigh escaped from his mouth and he shook his head.

'If this skill doesn't work, I will have to ask Elora to fight against that Peak Rank Three monster.'

Given enough time, Evan was sure he would be able to kill a Peak Rank Three monster using his shadow undeads, just like he had killed the mid-level Rank Three scorpion when he went to the location of the time liquid.

However, unlike that time when he used a few days to kill the monster, he couldn't afford to do the same now because he didn't have enough time.

In just a few days, the Tomb would close, so it was impossible for him to waste a few days of time on a single monster.

'Let's hope it works out...' Evan said to himself and quickly finished his food. After eating, he rested for an hour and then once again moved towards the pillar of light.

During the past two days, he had covered a great distance and was now very close to the pillar. He estimated that if nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to reach the pillar of light by the end of tomorrow.

After walking for around five hours and avoiding a few groups of monsters to save his energy for his fight against the peak Rank Three monster, he finally reached his destination.

'Damn, when I saw this guy through my shadow senses, I didn't feel its aura, but looking at it with my own eyes, I can finally feel just how powerful this guy is...' Evan, who was hiding behind a small sand mountain using the invisibility effect of his Shadow Walk skill muttered inwardly as he looked at the sleeping monster in front of him.

The monster sleeping in front of him was nearly fifteen meters tall, had two black wings, the body and long tail of a lion, and the head of an eagle.

Yes, the monster in front of him was a Griffin!

'Before I came here, I thought my chances of winning were 50-50, but after feeling its aura, I'm not so sure anymore...' Evan said inwardly and shook his head.

He looked at Elora, who was standing beside him and signalled her to stay hidden.

Evan didn't know from whom Elora had learned the art of concealment, but once she receded all of her aura, it was very difficult for people to sense her presence.

After becoming a beginner-level Rank Two Core Evolver, his spiritual power received a big boost and almost reached the limit of mid-level Rank Two, just slightly weaker than a normal peak Rank Two Core Evolver.

But even with his current spiritual power, he couldn't sense Elora's presence if she tried to hide herself.

When Elora saw Evan was telling her to stay hidden, she nodded her head obediently.

Seeing Elora nod, Evan took a deep breath and his eyes turned sharp.

'Let's end this as soon as possible.'
