Necromancer Of The Shadows

Evan cams to the 10th floor of the plaza and unlike the seventh floor where potions are being sold, there were very few people on this floor because rarely anyone sell monster cores.

Evan went towards one of the receptionists, when the receptionist saw Evan he asked him politely "how can I help you?"

Evan took out four shadow cores and said "I want to sell these shadow cores".

The receptionist's eyes lit up when he saw four shadow cores "sure, we can offer you thirty thousand credits for each shadow core".

Before coming here Evan already checked the price of the cores on the internet and he was satisfied with the price that the receptionist offered so he sold the cores and received one hundred and twenty thousand credits.

After selling the cores Evan went to the seventh floor and bought some healing and mana potions because there is a high chance that he can get injured during his mission.

After buying some potions Evan left the plaza and went to buy some food items and other things for travel.

When he was done with everything it was already evening "I should eat in a restaurant today since I will be going on a mission tomorrow"

Evan went to one of the best restaurants in Astrate city, after eating Evan went back to the academy to rest early since tomorrow he will be leaving for Oklima city.

The next day Evan took a taxi and went towards the city gate where he will meet with the other three hunters and the merchant who issued the mission.

Evan never left Astrate city so he doesn't know the exact situation outside the city but according to information, he gathered on the Internet leaving a city is pretty dangerous because there are many monsters outside the cities.

In Arora world, most of the cities are protected by a barrier that prevents any monsters to come near them, but when someone leaves a city they lose the protection of this barrier and have to protect themselves against the monster with their own power.

Most of the merchants who have to travel from one city to another to sell their goods, issue missions in hunter associations to hire some hunters for their protection.

The hunter association work with the academy and provide some low danger mission to students for training purposes.

Evan was more concerned about the other hunters who will join him in this mission, he knew that these hunters will be from the hunter association and will be pretty powerful.

'It should be fine according to the details of the missions all three of them will also be D-rank hunters, even if something happened I should be able to take care of them' although they all have to work together and transport the good's to the Oklima city safely, Evan was well aware that humans are more dangerous than the monsters in this world.

Soon Evan arrived at the city gate where he was supposed to meet with the other hunters and the merchant, Evan saw some vehicles at the city gate, these vehicles were like a van but most of them were five to ten meters long.

All of these vans are created by using science and magic, the vans are powered by monster cores and there are even barriers that protect the van from monsters.

"Let's see where is van number Ko90" after reaching at city gate Evan looked around for the van he has to protect, after five minutes Evan finally found the van number Ko90.

This van was ten meters long and was made from black steel-like metal there were some weapons installed in the van and it looks like a future vehicle if compared to the vehicles of modern earth.

Evan saw a middle age man was standing near the van 'the man probably Henry who issued the mission' Evan thought when he saw a middle age man dressed in a business suit.

"Hi, are you Evan?" the middle-aged man asked when he saw Evan coming towards him.

"yes, I am"

"Can you show me your hunter card?"

Evan showed Henry his hunter card which was showing he is an E-rank hunter the receptionist in the mission hall updated his rank yesterday when he went to pick the mission.

After checking Evan's card he nodded "you are the first to arrive others should be here soon".

"It will take us two days to reach Oklima city right?" Evan asked Henry while waiting for others hunters to arrive.

"Yes, is this your first time going out of the city?" Henry asked Evan.

"Ya, I never left the Astrate city it will be my first time going out of the city"

"You don't have to worry too much, most of the high-rank monsters are cleared by hunter associations every month. We will not face any monster who is higher than D rank during our journey" Henry said when he heard Evan never left the city.

After five minutes Evan saw two men coming towards them both of them were D rank hunters 'so these are the hunters from association' Evan looked at the hunters carefully, both of them were around thirty years old and looks quite experienced.

"Hello, I am George and he is Dean" said one of the hunters when they came near Henry.

"Hello, I am Henry can you guys show your hunter card?"

"Here" both George and Dean showed their hunter card to Henry when he confirmed their identity he nodded "alright we will leave as soon as the last hunter arrives oh looks like he is here".

Ethan looked at the last hunter who was coming towards them and was surprised because the last hunter who came was also the hunter from the academy.

'James' Evan remembered the name of this hunter because just like Evan he is also an orphan and Mike and his gang often try to bully him.

James is not a sociable person and doesn't talk to anyone in the academy so Evan doesn't know much about him.

"Are you James?" Henry asked when James arrived near them.

James nodded and handed his hunter card to Henry, after checking his hunter card Henry nodded and said "now that everyone is here we should leave. First I am Henry, your mission is to protect me and my cargo till we reach oklima city and came back to Astrate city".

"We will be taking the route that is cleared by the hunter association every month so we will not meet any monster who is higher than D-rank"

"Any questions?"

Nobody asked anything when Henry saw this he nodded "okay let's depart then"

The van was divided into three parts Henry went to the first part where the driver of the van was sitting this all time. In the second part, the goods that Evan and the hunters have to protect were placed and the third part was the largest where all four hunters went to sit.

After everyone sat down the driver started the van and left Astrate city.
