Necromancer Of The Shadows



After leaving the run down building Evan used his hoverboard to go back to the academy.

Whine going back he was looking at his phone screen from time to time.

On his phone screen, there was a message showing his current bank balance.

"So this is how it feels like when you have millions of credits in your account," Evan said while pinching himself to confirm it is not a dream.

"Twenty two million, I can finally say hello to the life of a rich young hunter. But seriously, to think Illousia sent me fifteen million credits two days ago when I asked her for some money to eat dinner" Evan said while shaking his head.

Earlier he got only seven million credits from Jack, the rest of the credits came from Illousia.

Evan was completely shocked when he saw he has twenty two million credits after receiving seven million from Jack.

When Illousia sent him money two days ago, he didn't check it because his phone was with Elysia at that time who was learning language from it.

"Now I can buy a house outside of the academy, but it will be good for me to stay in the academy for the time being before my core healed" Evan muttered and finally put away his phone.

Soon he returned to the academy and proceed towards his room.

For now, he has nothing to do other than wait for his prime core to completely recover.

The tournament between academy will happen after two months. Since he performed well in the examination Evan was sure he will be able to take part in it without any problems.

Before the start of the tournament, he wanted to advance to the next rank. Even without advancing, he was sure that he will be able to perform pretty well in the tournament.

But many high ranking hunters will be present during the tournament. And it will arouse suspicion if a D+ rank hunter like him will beat down B and B+ rank hunters there.

In order to not make them suspicious he wanted to reach C+ rank with his prime core before the start of the tournament.

He was also not planning to reveal all of his shadow undeads during the tournament because they are his trump card that he is planning to use against the dark guild.

Five days later...

"Are you ready Nekros?" Evan asked Nekros who was standing in front of him.

"Uhoo" Nekros nodded his head while taking a fighting stance.

Currently, Evan was inside the training centre of the academy where you can practice your skills or spar with other students.

The training centre is made of special materials and there are many formations engraved in it.

Here people can use their skills and spar with each other without worrying about their surroundings.

It is been five days since Evan came back to the academy. During this time he trained himself in the training centre and tried to adapt to his new power after reaching C rank.

Most of the time he sparred with Elysia who is surprisingly quite good in close combat.

Evan already knew he is not proficient in using weapons like swords and spears. Even when he uses wind fury, he just tries to amplify the attack power of wind manipulation through it. While using it he just swings it like a brute and uses it like a knife to cut down his enemy.

But he doesn't really care about it, because instead of using weapons, he prefers to fight using his fists.

Which is why he was training his close combat skills with Elysia for the past few days.

And the results of his training were pretty obvious.

Evan and Nekros rushed towards each other at the same time.

When Nerkao dashed towards Evan, the ground of the training centre started to shake. In front of Nekros who is five meters tall, Evan was looking like a small ant.

Even though there was a big difference in their size and physical strength Evan was pretty calm while rushing towards Nekros.

When he was just ten meters away from Nekros, Evan used his skill temporal velocity which can be considered a godly skill for someone who likes to fight at close range.

Nekros' movements slowed down in his eyes as he watched it swing down its giant fist at him.

While still using temporal velocity, he activated wind manipulation as wind started to circle around him.

Boooommm-!

The giant fist of Nekros came smashing down to the ground as all the formations of the training centre activated to prevent any kind of damage.

Evan was easily able to follow the movement of Nekros's fist and evaded it by jumping sideways.

Just as Evan jumped sideways an ice chain came out from the ground shooting upwards towards the face of Nekros.

Evan grabbed the chain and his body also moved upwards along with the ice chain.

ROAR-!

Nekros roared out loud and tried to grab Evan with its hand, but because of temporal velocity, Evan was easily able to see its hand coming towards him.

Just before Nekros grabbed him, he left the ice chain and Nekros caught the ice chain instead of him.

When Nekros grabbed the ice chain, the ice chain moved like a snake and wrapped itself around its hand.

At the same time, when Evan left the ice chain, a second ice chain came out from the ground moving towards Nekros face even faster than the previous one.

Evan grabbed this ice chain in mid air and arrived before the face of Nekros in an instant.

Nekros tried to use its other hand to grab Evan once again, but he ignored it. A light blue layer of mana appeared around him as he used mana reinforcement.

All the skills Evan was using were deactivated because of using mana reinforcement.

After using mana reinforcement, he clenched his hand as mana gathered around his fist, and just when Nekros' hand was about to grab him, he punched Nekros right in the middle of its eye.

If it was a normal Cyclops, its eye would have definitely exploded. But since Nekros was a shadow undead nothing like that happened.

The purple flame in its eye continues to burn even after taking that punch.

But because of the impact of the punch it lost its forward momentum, and started to step back.

Evan stopped using mana reinforcement and two black wings came out from his back, stopping him from falling down.

At the same time, an ice chain came out from the ground and wrapped around Nekros's ankle.

Nekros was stepping back because of the impact of the earlier punch, but because of the sudden appearance of the ice chain, it lost its balance and started to fall down on its back.

Evan's eyes shone with green light as tens of sharp wind spikes appeared on the place where Nekros was dropping.

Booooomm-!

With a loud booming sound, Nekros dropped to the ground and all the wind spikes penetrated it all over its body.
