Necromancer Of The Shadows

The moment Sylvan popped the pill in his mouth, it transformed into a stream of energy that flowed towards his core.

Sylvan's core, which was located beside his heart looked like a small shining marble filled with stars. There were numerous small cracks on the shining core, causing its world essence to continuously leak out.

As the energy from the pill entered his core, the cracks slowly began to heal. The small stars inside the core shone brightly, and Sylvan's aura, which was at the peak of Rank Five started to increase.

New stars began to appear inside the core, and some of the dead stars started to shine again, making Sylvan's core look like a small universe.

"By the way, did you use the entire World Core Plant, or is it still usable?" Evan suddenly asked Octavius.

"Normally, the World Core Plant would have withered after I extracted its essence to create the pill, but with the help of the World Tree, we can save it and it should be able to recover its essence in a few years," Octavius said without looking at Evan.

"I have already planted the World Core Plant near the World Tree, and under the aura of the World Tree, it is indeed recovering its essence at a very fast speed," Ashley added when she heard Evan and Octavius' conversation.

She was also surprised when Octavius told her to plant the World Core Plant near the World Tree as she thought the World Core Plant could only be used once.

'This World Core Plant will be quite useful, as no one knows what will happen in the future...' Ashley thought and smiled slightly, looking at Sylvan, whose aura was slowly increasing, indicating that the damage to his core was healing rapidly.

Suddenly, she thought about something and looked at Anastasia, Alaric, and Evan, who were standing to the side.

"I forgot to ask, but... are we really going to do that?"

In order to proceed with Anastasia's plan, they needed Ashley's space abilities, so they involved her in the madness as well.

Evan still remembered Ashley's shocked look when Sylvan told her about what they were going to do.

"What are you afraid of? Even if the plan fails, no one would suspect us," Anastasia gave Ashley a side glance and said in a plain voice.

"Indeed, with this woman's concealment ability and my spiritual illusion, it would be impossible for anyone to find out about us," Alaric nodded in agreement.

Usually, he wasn't someone who liked to take risks, but the things Anastasia told him were too tempting.

Besides, it had been hundreds of years since he did something interesting, so he felt it shouldn't be wrong to cause chaos once in a while.

Ashley looked at Anastasia, Alaric, and Evan with dead eyes, feeling like giving them the nickname of the Mad Trio.

Evan was taken aback when he saw Ashley looking at him and the others as if they were a bunch of people with mental problems and his mouth twitched.

"Woman, just like you, I also got involved in this matter without my consent, so don't look at me like you're looking at a lunatic," Evan said in a dry voice.

Anastasia and Alaric ignored what Evan said and looked at Ashley.

"Have you prepared the things you will need to perform your part?" Alaric asked Ashley.

Ashley sighed and nodded her head upon hearing Alaric. Although she felt what they were going to do was complete madness, she still took it seriously and was ready.

"When are we going to leave?"

Alaric didn't answer Ashley's question. Instead, he looked at Anastasia, who was standing beside him.

"Let's leave once this guy recovers. Leopold has already prepared everything and our target will arrive soon," Anastasia said in a calm voice, thinking about the information she had received yesterday.

"So soon?" Ashley was surprised when she heard they would be leaving once Sylvan recovered, as she thought they would at least wait for a few months before taking action.

"Since we are going to do this, there is no point in delaying it. The sooner we finish everything, the better," Anastasia said with a shake of her head and Alaric nodded his head as he completely agreed with her words.

Ashley just sighed when she heard Anastasia and didn't say anything else.

All of them waited for Sylvan to recover, and around five hours later, violent energy fluctuations suddenly erupted from Sylvan's body.

Alaric frowned when he saw this, and with a wave of his hand, he created a shield in front of all of them that stopped the violent energy fluctuations that escaped from Ashley's space barrier.

The ground around Sylvan started to break and some cracks appeared on the space barrier, forcing Ashley to reinforce it.

"Is he all right?" Evan asked when he felt Sylvan's out-of-control aura.

"Don't worry, he is just having a hard time controlling his powers, but he should be fine after some time," Anastasia said in a calm voice, as she felt Sylvan's aura had already reached Rank Six and was moving towards the peak of beginner-level Rank Six.

The violent energy fluctuations coming out of Sylvan's body lasted for another hour, and after an hour, his aura finally started to stabilize.

"He reached the peak of beginner-level Rank Six, huh," Alaric muttered with a small smile on his face, happy that after thousands of years, his friend had finally recovered.

'Maybe I should ask him to treat me to some expensive wines,' Alaric thought, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

Soon, Sylvan completely controlled his aura and opened his eyes. Seeing this, Alaric and Ashley dispelled their barriers.

Sylvan stood and looked towards Evan and the others, his eyes flashing with joy as he waited for them to congratulate him.

But to his dismay, Alaric and the others just nodded their heads and turned around to leave.

"Since you are fully healed, let's go. It will take us a few days to reach our destination after leaving the closed world of Dryads," Anastasia's voice reached Sylvan's ears, who stood there frozen, still not believing no one congratulated him for his triumphant return to rank six.
