Necromancer Of The Shadows



Three days later inside the dungeon...

Evan was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the boss room. A large mana vortex was spinning above his head, attracting large amounts of mana from the surrounding.

The size of this mana vortex was very big compared to previous mana vortexes. It was around 30 meters in diameter and was covering a large area of the room.

Evan's body was absorbing the mana drawn by the vortex like a bottomless pit as his core advances to the next rank.

After five minutes of continuously absorbing mana, a notification flashed before his eyes.

(Your prime core reached the B+ rank)

Woosh!

As soon as the notification flashed, his prime core released a great amount of energy that spread throughout his body and began to nourish the cells of his body, making his already terrifying physical body even more terrifying.

Evan closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of his body becoming stronger. His mana pool also increased by a good margin after his Prime core advanced to the B+ rank.

Two minutes later Evan's prime core stopped releasing energy and Evan opened his eyes.

He inspected his prime core and saw the power inside his prime core was very chaotic.

He was not surprised when he saw his core was not stabilized like always. He increased the rank of his prime core many times in the last three days which made it destabilised.

This would not have happened if he had increased his Monarch Core rank to B rank before his Prime Core rank.

But instead of increasing the rank of his monarch core first, he decided to increase the rank of his prime core because of what happened last time.

He was afraid that if he raised his Monarch Core rank, he might once again receive a large amount of energy from the shadow realm that would increase his Monarch Core rank just like last time.

If something like that happens then his prime core will be damaged again. He didn't want to take any chances, so he decided to increase the rank of his Prime core first.

Now that his Prime Core is at B+ rank, it will not be harmed even if the energy of the Shadow Realm raises the rank of his Monarch Core to S rank.

"My prime core will be stabilized again once I increase the rank of my monarch core" Evan muttered and stopped looking at his destabilised prime core.

"I never expected that I will have to use so many cores to increase its rank to B+" Evan said while shaking his head.

For the last three days, he was absorbing cores one after another. He used so many cores that he even lost count of them.

"I was too naive to think that with the number of cores I collected I would be able to bring both my Prime and Monarch cores to the peak of B+ rank"

Evan opened his status window and looked at it, but he was disappointed when he saw he didn't receive any new skills even after increasing the rank of his prime core so many times.

Normally after gaining their class, hunters get skills related to their class each time they advance to the next rank. But Evan didn't gain any skills even after raising his prime core's rank to B+ because when his prime core reached at C rank he gained no class from it.

Evan clenched his fist and the air around his fist was blasted away because of his high physical strength.

Evan checked the details of the Growth Link skill as well and saw that it was still the same.

After looking at the details of his status window for some time he closed it and took a deep breath.

"Let's start" he muttered and took out a core from his shadow storage.

Because of what happened when his core reached to C rank, his monarch core is already at the peak of C rank.

He just needs to absorb one core and he will be able to break through to B rank with his monarch core.

"I wonder what effect the Growth Link skill will have on my shadow undeads once I reach B rank," muttered Evan and looked at Aqua and his other shadow undeads.

In addition to the effect of his Growth Link skill, he also wanted to know how many shadow undeads he would be able to save after advancing to B rank.

Evan put the B+ rank core he took out in his mouth. As soon as he put the core in his mouth, it turned into energy and that energy rushed towards his monarch core.

When the energy came near his monarch core it was absorbed by it, and slowly another mana vortex started to form above his head.

His monarch core also started to rotate after absorbing the energy, and in less than five seconds a mana vortex which was one hundred meters in diameter appeared above Evan's head.

The vortex was covering the entire area of the boss room and was drawing a large amount of mana.

Evan monitored his connection with the shadow realm carefully to make sure nothing goes wrong this time.

The mana vortex spun faster and faster and slowly Evan's monarch core started to move towards B rank.

For the next ten minutes, his monarch core continues to absorb mana from the vortex.

After ten minutes the vortex above his head slowly started to disappear, and the rotating speed of his monarch core also slowed down.

Evan also sighed in relief when he saw nothing unexpected happened this time.

In less than a minute, the vortex above his head disappeared and a notification flashed before his eyes.

(Your monarch core advanced to the B Rank)
