Necromancer Of The Shadows

Evan and Cedar left Sylvan's cave and flew away. While flying, Cedar glanced at Evan and hesitated for a moment. After a brief pause, he couldn't keep silent any longer and spoke in a serious tone.

"Hey, are you sure about this? If you want, I can talk to Grandpa about it. I think the things he asked you to do are a bit too much."

Hearing Cedar, Evan didn't look at him and shook his head.

"It's fine. Although his requests may seem a little excessive, they are still within my capacity, so there's no need for you to talk to him. Besides..." Evan said and smiled slightly. "...He let me use the essence mine and other resources without asking for anything in return, so if you think about it, the things he asked for don't seem unreasonable."

Cedar remained silent hearing Evan's words and looked ahead. After some time, he took a deep breath and nodded.

"I won't say anything since you're okay with it, but... If you feel the things he asked are too much, just let me know. I will talk to that old man about it."

Evan smiled hearing Cedar and nodded his head. "Are you going back to prepare for your breakthrough now?"

"Yes, if everything goes as planned, I should be able to break through one or two days before the opening of the Tomb of the Ancient," Cedar replied.

"I see... I also need to prepare a few things, so let's meet after your breakthrough," Evan said, bidding farewell to Cedar and flying towards his house.contemporary romance

"I did not expect Sylvan would allow me to enter the Tomb of the Ancient with other Drayds so easily..." Evan muttered as he flew towards his house.

While flying, he thought about what he should do in the remaining time.

Earlier, he wanted to go out of the closed world to hunt down some monsters, but now because of the bounty, it is too dangerous for him to leave the closed world.

Even with the help of his beginner level rank two shadow undeads and all of his skills and Authorities, it is impossible for him to beat Rank Three Core Evolvers who are looking for him in the Dark Forest.

Moreover, Sylvan showed them some groups of monsters who were moving in strange patterns as if they were looking for something. According to Sylvan, the overlord of the Dark Forest is also helping the people in looking for them and those monsters are its subordinates.

"Urgh... I really wanted to increase all of my stat points to the maximum limit and create more shadow undeads before the opening of the Tomb of The Ancient, but it's not possible anymore..." Evan muttered and decided to spend the remaining days in the training area of his house.

Although the training area was not as useful as the active effect of the Reaper's Wrath skill, it could still help him get familiar with his new powers.

"But... Before doing anything, I need to check on her progress." Evan said and increased his flying speed. Around half an hour later, he landed in front of his house and went to the training ground.

In the training ground, he saw most of his shadow undeads were either cultivating or using the training rooms to increase the proficiency of their skills. Evan nodded in satisfaction seeing his shadow undeads were working hard and walked to the end of the training ground.

At the end of the training ground, he came across a closed room. The room was closed, but Evan easily opened it as he could control all the formations of the house.

The moment he opened the door, a strong medicinal fragrance assaulted Evan's nostrils, making him frown a little. He looked inside the room and saw Amara standing in front of a furnace with a giant cauldron on top of it.

The floor of the room was filled with different kinds of potions and pill bottles. Amara was completely focused on the cauldron, so she didn't notice when Evan entered the room. Unbothered by Amara's lack of awareness, Evan walked inside the room.

After entering the room, he casually picked up a potion bottle from the ground. The potion bottle was filled with light green liquid and was releasing a strong medicinal smell.

---) Healing Potion (Low Level Rank One): A healing potion that can cure minor injuries of Rank One Core Evolvers.

After looking at the healing potion, Evan picked up a different bottle filled with light yellow liquid.

---) Agility Potion (Low Level Rank One): Upon consumption, this potion can increase the agility of the user by five points for three minutes. Once the duration of the potion ends, the agility of the user will decrease by ten points for five minutes. The effect of this potion can't be stacked.

(Note: If the agility of the user is above fifty points, they won't receive any penalty once the effect of the potion ends.)

Evan surveyed the array of potions and pills on the ground, noting at least ten different types of pills and potions.

'It's only been two months, and she's already proficient in creating so many types of low level potions,' Evan mused silently as he observed Amara who was focused on creating something.

'If she continues to refine her alchemy skills like this, it won't be long before she's able to create mid and peak level rank one potions and pills,' Evan said inwardly, thinking about the money he would earn from selling the potions and pills created by Amara.

"It's good that she's undead and doesn't need to sleep... " Evan muttered as he left the alchemy room. "... Once she becomes a high-level alchemist, I will ask her to create potions and pills 24x7."

Amara was focused on creating a mid-level strength potion when she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, causing her to lose focus for a moment.

The moment she lost focus, the herbs inside the cauldron became unstable, and a puff of black smoke billowed out, filling the room with a burnt smell.

Amara looked at the cauldron that was still releasing the black smoke and her body trembled.

"Damn it, it must be that bi*ch Elysia. She is definitely scheming something, which is why I felt the sudden chill earlier," She cursed out loudly and decided to complain to Evan that Elysia was scheming something against her.

For the next few days, Evan stayed in the training ground and utilized various training rooms. His stat points increased quite a bit after he broke through to mid level Rank One and used the Reaper's Wrath skill last time.

Using the different kinds of training rooms, Evan quickly adapted to his powers. Because of the usefulness of the training ground, some of his stat points even increased by a few points.

During this time, he also organized his shadow undeads and divided them into different teams so that it would be easy for them to work together.

The remaining days flew by in the blink of an eye, and finally, the day of the opening of the Tomb of the Ancient arrived.
