Necromancer Of The Shadows

"It seems that thing attracted many people," Ashley, who had changed her appearance and now looked like a woman in her thirties with red hair spoke in a surprised voice.

"I thought there wouldn't be many people coming because of the current situation in the Gehenna Empire, but it looks like people don't really care since the Dragon Islands and Gehenna Empire haven't made any big moves," Sylvan, who had also changed his appearance and now looked like a man in his fifties said while looking around at the crowd moving on the street.

It had been ten days since Sylvan recovered from his injuries and they left the closed world of Drayds. Using the teleportation building that Ashley built in the closed world of Drayds, all five of them arrived on the outskirts of the Gehenna Empire.

There were many kingdoms under the control of the Gehenna Empire, all inhabited by demons.

Currently, Evan and the others were in a kingdom named Magmara. This kingdom was created by the strongest Lava demon, Valtair, who, after escaping from slavery and defeating most of the Demons established it.

Lava demons used to be the slaves of other demons because of their low population. They were strong physically and their firepower was very high, but because there were not many of them, they were enslaved by other demons.

But things changed after Valtair's appearance, who defeated most of the demons who enslaved the lava demons and created this place.

The Gehenna Empire came into existence after the appearance of Baphomet, who united all the demon species under one banner.

Before Baphomet, the current Gehenna Empire was like a tribal place, with each area ruled by a different demon species. Some places were ruled by fire demons, some by extreme demons, some by blood demons, and many more.

"I wonder what that stupid guy will think after seeing the current situation of Magmara," Anastasia spoke while looking around her surroundings.

Similar to Ashley, Anastasia had also changed her appearance. Her hair was still black, but her previously beautiful face now looked like that of an ordinary woman in her late twenties.

"Who are you talking about?" Evan asked in a curious voice when he heard Anastasia.

"Valtair, he was the lava demon who created this kingdom," Anastasia replied with a shake of her head. Only after coming to Magmara did she find out that all the lava demons had already gone extinct and there was not a single one left.

"Valtair..." Evan frowned when he heard this name because it sounded familiar.

Anastasia noticed Evan's frown but did not explain anything about Valtair to him.

'Maybe I have met this guy Valtair before...' Evan thought and shrugged, thinking he might have met him when he was Azroth.

Similar to the others, Evan had also changed his appearance. But unlike the others, he changed his appearance to that of an elf.

His shoulder-length black hair and eyes were still the same, but his current face was more elegant and refined, giving him a gentle vibe unlike his original appearance which gave him a demonic charm.

He was wearing a star-shaped earring in his left ear. Although the earring looked normal, it was anything but normal.

Evan touched the earring and a window showing its details appeared in front of him.

---) Abyssal Shroud (Mid Level Rank Four): An earring made from the scale of the Progenitor of the Shadow Dragons and infused with its blood essence. The Abyssal Shroud has the following effects —

1. Because of the effect of the Shadow Dragon's aura, this earring can hide your presence from everything and no one will be able to find you.

2. Increase the power of all shadow-type skills by 300%. Shadow skills related to concealment will receive an additional boost of 200%.

3. The earring has a passive skill, Dragon Guard.

---) Dragon Guard (Passive Skill): Creates a shadow barrier around the wearer in case of danger. The shadow barrier created by Abyssal Shroud can stop a full-power attack of a peak Rank Five Core Evolver.

'If I don't count the Halberd of Destruction, this is the highest-grade artefact I have seen...' Evan thought inwardly and looked at Anastasia, who was walking beside him.

Before leaving the closed world of Drayds, she gave him the Abyssal Shroud and asked him to always wear it to avoid detection by people looking for him.

According to her, although rare, there are still some artefacts that people can use to search for his location just by describing his original appearance.

It would be fine as long as he stayed inside the closed world of Drayds since it's a completely different dimension, but once he left, it wouldn't be impossible for people to discover his location. But the first effect of the Abyssal Shroud can hide his presence from everything. Whether it is a skill or an artefact, he wouldn't get discovered by anything as long as he wore the earring.

'At this point, I suddenly feel like I got a sugar mommy out of nowhere...' Evan thought with a twitching mouth but was genuinely grateful that Anastasia gave him the Abyssal Shroud.

The first effect was already life-saving for him, but the other two effects were also something that could make anyone drool with excitement.

Sylvan and the others walked on the street of Magmara and soon arrived in front of a restaurant.

"Is that foxy guy here?" Sylvan asked as he looked at the luxurious restaurant in front of them.

"He did say that he would be waiting for us here," Anastasia said as she walked forward. "Let's go inside. Even if he is not here, it won't take him long to arrive."

Evan and the others followed her and entered the restaurant. The restaurant was quite big, but it didn't take long for Anastasia to see a familiar face sitting at one of the tables.

"Seems like he got the thing we need..." She said in a low voice, and all of them walked towards the table where the man was sitting.
