Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 993  Return

With a flash of silver light, Evan appeared in the teleportation building from where Ashley had sent him to the Tomb of the Ancient.

"It seems the long-lasting peace of Utopia is about to break."

The moment Evan appeared in the building, he heard Sylvan's serious voice and raised an eyebrow. At the same time, he felt many eyes fixed on him as if everyone was waiting for him.

Evan looked beside him and saw a large holographic screen hovering in mid-air, showing a desolate place in ruins. Blood and dead bodies of demons were piled up everywhere, and some high-level demons were trying to calm down the scared crowd.

'What's going on?' Evan narrowed his eyes when he saw the destructive scene on the screen and for some reason, he felt as if his soul was jumping around in joy like a naughty child who just did something incredible.

'Weird,' He frowned slightly while feeling a sense of accomplishment upon seeing the ruined city on the screen, but he couldn't understand why he felt this way.

Just as Evan was deep in thought, someone appeared in front of him and asked in a desperate voice, "Evan, do you know where Carla is? She hasn't returned yet."

Hearing Cedar's question, Evan froze and didn't know how to answer.

Jack, Orpal, and Kiara, the other three dryads who had entered the Tomb with him also approached and looked at him with anxious eyes.

They had all been friends with Carla since childhood, so just like Cedar, they were also worried about her.

Seeing their anxious eyes, Evan opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out. He wanted to tell them she was dead but didn't know how to deliver the news.

When Cedar and the others saw Evan's hesitant expression, their bodies trembled. Although he hadn't said anything, just from his expression, they could tell that something bad must have happened.

"All right, calm down a little..." Seeing Evan's expression, Sylvan, who had lived for thousands of years understood that something serious must have happened, so he stepped forward and tried to calm Cedar and the others.

Although his heart also felt heavy after realizing that something had happened to Carla, he couldn't let his emotions take control.

Hearing Sylvan, Cedar and the others backed away a little from Evan, but they still looked at him with anxious eyes, waiting for his answer.

Once Cedar and the others backed away, Evan sighed inwardly and took a deep breath. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He looked at Cedar and the others and finally spoke in a low voice.

"Carla is no longer with us."

Although Evan spoke in a low voice, everyone present in the building was a high-level core evolver, so all of them clearly heard his words.

"How could it be..." Cedar and the other three dryads who had entered the Tomb with him were stunned after hearing him, even though they had already suspected something had happened to Carla based on Evan's expressions, they still couldn't believe she was dead.

"You... You're joking with us, right?" Cedar forced a smile and asked in a trembling voice. He wanted Evan to say he was just messing with them, but seeing Evan lower his head with a sigh, tears started to flow from his eyes.

Sylvan also closed his eyes and sighed heavily.

Although he had expected something might happen to the dryads who entered the Tomb, as it was a very dangerous place not only because of the monsters but also because of the other people, it was still hard for him to accept the death of one of the children whom he treated like a granddaughter.

He looked at Cedar, Jack, Kiara, and Orpal, who had tears in their eyes, and for the first time, doubted whether it had been the right decision to send them into the Tomb.

"You know, if you want them to grow up, you can't keep them here all the time," Alaric, who had been standing to the side walked up to Sylvan and said while patting his shoulder.

The closed world of the dryads was a place where other than dryads, no one lived. It was impossible for people like Cedar and others to grow up in such a place after a certain period of time.

Not only to hone their combat abilities but also to help them grow mentally, it was necessary for them to go out into the world.

The dream of the Dryads was to go back to Utopia and live there without fear of other races who were after them.

If people like Cedar and the others, who were the future leaders of their race didn't even have knowledge about the outside world, how could they achieve their dream of going back to Utopia?

Hearing Alaric's words, Sylvan took a deep breath and nodded. He knew Alaric was right. After all, if it wasn't for his knowledge about Utopia and the many connections he had made when the dryads were still living in Utopia, it would have been impossible for him to save the small numbers of Drayds who were currently living in the closed world.

Although the current situation of the Dryads was better than before, Sylvan knew that the Dryads were too dependent on him.

If by any chance, something happened to him, he was sure that the Dryads would fall into a very bad state.

To avoid this kind of situation, it was necessary to let Cedar and other future leaders of the Dryads leave the closed world and gain a better understanding of the outside world.

'I know it's necessary, but still...' Sylvan thought inwardly and clenched his fist, feeling powerless because he couldn't do anything even if he wanted to.

Just when everyone was feeling heavy, a calm voice that stunned everyone rang out in the teleportation building.

"Why are you all acting as if we can't do anything? Since she is dead, we just need to revive her, right?"
