Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Can you sell that black ogre core to me?" Evan asked Dean and others because he wanted to absorb the core of the black ogre using his monarch core.

"Well I don't mind since you also helped us take down that ogre" George said while looking at James and Dean, both of them also didn't object to it so George gave the core of the black ogre to Evan.

"Let me know your account number I will transfer the money" Evan said happily when he got the core.

George told his bank account number and said "just transfer forty-five thousand credits".

"But D+ rank cores can be sold for sixty thousand credits without any problem" Evan said with a confused face because George was asking just forty-five thousand credits for a D+ rank core.

"You also helped us to take care of that ogre so of course, we are not going to take your share," Dean said while waving his hands.

When Evan heard this he smiled and transferred forty-five thousand credits to George who will split it later.

Evan was happy that he didn't receive some trash hunter as a teammate who act all mighty and try to take the fortune of other people.

Even when Dean and others found out Evan was just an E rank hunter in the start they didn't mock him or say anything to him, at first Evan accepted this mission he thought he will find some half-backed hunters who will try to do something stupid when they will find out he is just an E rank hunter.

'Now I just have to advance my prime to D rank so I can once again absorb the cores through my monarch core' Evan thought and put away the ogre core.

"We should reach there in one hour" Dean said while looking outside.

"Finally I will sleep on a comfortable bed today" George said while yawing.

It has been two days since Evan and others were attacked by the black ogre. Luckily nothing major happened after the black ogre attack and they are about to reach oklima city.

During these two days, Evan was able to collect two more D-rank cores and five E-rank cores. Now he had three D rank cores, Five E rank, and two D+ rank cores but these are not enough to push his prime core to E+ rank.

On top of that, he is not going to use black ogre cores on his prime core.

'It went better than I expected' Evan thought when he heard they will soon reach oklima city.

One of the reasons he decided to do a mission instead of going dungeon was to gain some experience in missions because practical exams for hunter academy students will be held soon.

Evan never participated in any practical exam because it requires you to show your skills and strength and Evan who was nothing more than an F rank hunter can't do anything during the practical exam.

Normally in practical exams, students will receive a mission from the academy that they will have to complete to get a better score. These missions can be anything like exterminating some monsters in a particular area, killing some bandits who rob the merchants, clearing a dungeon, and many more.

Now that Evan had enough strength he also wanted to participate in the practical exams of the academy which is why he decided to do a mission that will help him understand how everything works during a mission.

"Look we are about to reach there" Evan looked outside from the window after hearing the dean's voice and saw fifty meters high walls and a gate where two hunters were sitting while talking to each other.

"I heard most of the cities are protected by a barrier than why there are these high walls?" Evan asked when he saw fifty meters high walls.

"Oklima city is also protected by a barrier but it is pretty weak when you compare it to the barrier of Astrate city, do you think a barrier of that magnitude can be installed everywhere?" George said while looking at the high walls.

Evan nodded in understanding when he heard this he also understands that a barrier that can repel every monster cannot be installed everywhere, after all that kind of barrier must be very hard to create.

Soon the van arrived near the city gate where two guards were sitting both of them were C rank and looked quite bored.

Henry took out some papers and showed them to guards who allowed them to enter after checking the papers.

"You guys can stay in the four seasons hotel, I already booked your rooms there just show your hunter id after going there we will leave for Astrate city tomorrow when I am done with my business here" Henry said to Ethan and others after entering the city.

"Let's go I know where this hotel is located" Dean said and left with Evan and others, Henry had to settle his cargo before he can go back to the hotel.

Evan looked around the city while following Dean, unlike Astrate city which is filled with modern buildings, most of the buildings in Oklima city were the medieval style.

Evan felt like he came back in time when technology was not developed but only the look of the city was medieval style there was every modern facility available.

After ten minutes of walking Evan and others finally arrived before a large medieval-looking villa with the sign 'FOUR SEASON HOTEL' hanging on top of it.

Evan and others went inside and Evan was surprised when he saw how the floor was made of beautiful ivory wood that gave it a luxurious look.

'I wonder what is the cost of staying here for one night' Evan thought when he saw how luxurious the hotel was. Even though Henry was the one who was paying he can't help but thought this because he spent most of his life being poor.

After entering the hotel Dean and others went to reception and showed their id.

Just like Henry said after showing their id the receptionist gave them the key to their room. Since all of them were pretty tired after guarding the cargo for two days without much sleep all of them went to their room.
