Necromancer Of The Shadows



Ring* Ring*

Olivia looked at her mobile phone and saw that the person she had asked to investigate about Leon was calling her.

Without wasting any time she quickly picked up the call and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"We investigated about him properly but unfortunately did not find anything. According to all the reports we gathered, that guy spent most of his time messing around in the brothel before his death." a man said in a hoarse voice and continued,

"We have also confirmed that he didn't meet anyone other than you in the last few days. After meeting you he went back to the academy. We are still looking for the person who killed him but so far we are unable to find anything about the person who killed him."

"So there is nothing?" Olivia asked feeling irritated that she don't know why the curse she put on Leon was triggered.

"Even though we are not sure, according to what we found in the last two days, we suspect that there were some people who were keeping an eye on Leon." suddenly the man said after hearing Olivia's irritated voice.

Olivia's eyes turned sharp when she heard the man and waited for him to continue.

"In some of the CCTV footage, we noticed some people were always following Leon sneakily. We looked into their details and found out they are members of a small mercenary group called 'Terror Brothers'. We are suspecting that they were hired by someone to follow Leon."

After hearing the man Olivia stayed silent for some time.

"You can do whatever you want, but I want to know who hired them as soon as possible," Olivia said after a moment of silence.

"Alright," the man said and was about to end the call when he remembered something and stopped, "by the way there is one more thing"

Olivia who was ready to end the call raised an eyebrow when she heard the man and waited for him to continue.

"After Leon's death, a fight broke out outside the same brothel in which Leon was found dead, and one of the men involved in the fight was actually the leader of the terror brother group"

"Oh" Olivia's interest was piqued when she heard him, "Tell me what happened?" she asked him to tell her everything that he knew.

Soon the man told Olivia everything including Evan's involvement in the matter.

He also told her how he beat down Jack who is the son of Adam, the guild master of Arcane Scribes.

When she heard Evan beat down Jack including his two bodyguards she was stunned.

She still remembered how he wasn't even able to fight against one B rank monster during the practical exam.

After telling Olivia everything the man ended the call.

"It is just two months and he can not only fight against B+ rank hunters, he can even defeat them without breaking a sweat" Olivia muttered while thinking about what Evan said to her at the end of the practical exam.

But soon a cold smirk appeared on her face and she walked towards the window of the room looking outside.

"So what if he can fight against B+ rank hunters? The difference between a B+ ranker and an A+ ranker is not something that he can cover so easily" Olivia said and gazed at the Astarte city from the window.

"Besides..." she stopped looking outside and took out a box from her storage ring, "even if he is somehow able to fight against an A+ ranker In the remaining four months, he won't be able to do anything to me once I use this thing"

****

When Evan looked into the storage ring he saw two items inside it.

One was a purple-black coloured armour while the second item was a silver coloured pendant.

There was no weapon inside the storage ring and Evan wasn't surprised when he saw this.

After he asked Valery to make gauntlets for him, he also asked illusia to exchange the weapon that Sera will send her for a useful accessory type artefact.

Using the connection of her gold rank guild, it was not difficult for Illusia to exchange a weapon for an accessory type artefact.

"I thought she was not able to exchange that weapon for anything since she did not tell me anything about it" Evan muttered and first took out the purple-black coloured armour.

---) Sunfire Armor (A+ Rank): Crafted from the radiant scales of a solar wyvern, the Sunfire Armor harnesses the power of sunlight. It provides its wearer with a great defence. The armour decreases all magical and physical type damage received by the wearer by 35%. When worn, the armour absorbs sunlight, storing its energy within the scales. This energy can be unleashed to create blinding light bursts, heal wounds, and provide enhanced strength and speed during the day.

After reading the details of the armour Evan's mouth was slightly open.

He looked at the armour in his hands and wasn't able to speak anything for some time.

After a good minute, he finally came out of his dazed state and said, "This is way better than the night spike armour that I got after robbing Jack"

The night spike armour he got from Jack is a B+ rank armour and it can block twenty percent of both physical and magic type damage that its wearer receives.

But since it is only a B+ rank armour it is way inferior when compared to sunfire armour.

If an A+ ranker unleashes his full power attack on the night spike armour, there is a very high chance it will not be able to handle that attack power and will immediately shatter.

Meanwhile, since Sunfire is an A+ rank armour it will be able to handle the attack power of an A+ rank hunter without any problem.

"This armor will be of great help to me in what I plan to do after I increase the rank of my cores" Evan muttered and placed the armour aside.

"Let's see what is this silver coloured pendant is"
