Necromancer Of The Shadows



Evan sat down on Albelu's back and followed after the blue spider.

All the fifty thousand spiders who were walking with the blue spider had tensed bodies, they were still afraid that the demon who was walking behind them would kill them at any moment.

Evan ordered Wyverns to fly ahead of spider army so that they would inform him if they found anything strange.

While the blue spider was leading the way, Evan opened his status window to take a look at it properly. 

(The synergy between you and skill 'BloodLust' has reached its peak)

(You have permanently acquired the Unique Skill 'BloodLust')

Evan first looked at the notifications that he received while fighting against Kazil, he noticed these notifications earlier when he opened his status window.

"Although I am not sure what it means by the synergy between me and BloodLust skill, I think I can somehow get skills of my shadow undeads while using the 'Shadow Possession' skill..." Evan muttered in a low voice when he saw BloodLust skill in his skills section.

Although Evan felt happy that he received a powerful skill like BloodLust, he also felt a little worried because of the side effects of this skill.

'I should use this skill only in emergencies' Evan thought inwardly and looked at the other notifications.

(Your Monarch Core Advanced To A-Rank)

(You have received the unique skill 'Death Ring)

(You have received class specific skill 'Soul Absorption')

(You have unlocked your Authority 'Master Of Shadows')

Evan already saw the details of 'Death Ring' so he looked at the skill 'Soul Absorption'

----)Soul Absorption: You can absorb the souls of the people killed by you or your shadow undeads. Using the absorbed souls as fuel while casting your skills, you can increase the power of your skills. The more powerful soul you use as fuel, the greater the increase will be in the power of your skill. Once you use 'Soul Absorption' on a target, you will not be able to use shadow resurrection on it.

(Depending on the rank of the user, more uses of Soul Absorption will be unlocked in the future)

When Evan read the details of soul absorption skill, he finally understood what were the multicoloured orbs that he was absorbing earlier.

After knowing he was absorbing souls, he didn't know how to react.

Moreover, the notion of using souls as fuel sounded quite eerie to him.

"This skill looks like it came straight out from a demonic cultivator's inventory.." Evan muttered to himself.

He rubbed his temples for a moment before shaking his head. He looked at the line saying he couldn't use shadow resurrection on people after absorbing their souls.

"This thing confirms the fact that all of my shadow undeads have souls..." Evan said while looking at the details of the skill.

"Depending on my rank there will be more uses of soul absorption skill huh..."

Evan said while rubbing his chin. Suddenly his eyes trembled when a thought came into his mind.

"If this skill levelled up and I get enough control over it, I may be able to completely control all the souls that I will absorb using it..." Evan said while looking at his status window.

If he somehow able to control the souls, then he will just have to find a way to create a physical body. Then using his control over the soul, if he successfully connects the physical body with the soul, then he might be able to bring back dead to life.

Unlike his shadow undeads, those people will be truly alive.

"Damn, I am thinking too much. I should stop thinking about what might happen in future and should think about my present" Evan said and took a deep breath to clear his mind.

He looked at the last notification and raised an eyebrow.

"Authority.....What is this?" Evan never heard anything about authority so he looked at its details with curious eyes.

---) Master Of Shadows (Authority): Using your authority 'Master Of Shadows', you can give absolute effect to all of your shadow-type skills. During the absolute effect, all of your shadow-type skills will ignore 100% defence of the target, your skills won't be restricted by your rank and the chances of the critical hit increase by 75%. After activating the authority, the absolute effect of 'Master of Shadows will last for twenty seconds. Master Of Shadows Authority can only be used once a month and it requires world essence to activate.

Evan sucked a breath of cold air when he saw the effect of Master Of Shadows Authority. Just the fact that he could ignore 100% defence was more than enough for him to dance in joy, but other than ignoring the defence, there were two more effects.

"Just what the hell is this authority" Evan said with a frown on his face because he never heard or read anything about authority.

"Wait a minute.." Suddenly Evan thought about the requirement for activating his authority and couldn't help but look at the rainbow-coloured energy inside his core.

Because he was teleported inside the dungeon, the amount of world essence inside his core was greater than before.

"My mana started to evolve into world essence because of the connection between me, the shadow realm and the rune of evolution," he said while rubbing his chin, "Could it be that I received this authority because of the world essence inside my core?... And the other people of Arora world can't receive authority because of not having world essence"

Although Evan was confused, he did not think too much about it.

He did not even know the difference between authority and skills, so in his eyes, it was useless to think too much about it.

'As long as this authority increases my power, who cares about the process of how I get it' Evan thought to himself.

After looking at all the notifications, he suddenly thought about the notification that he received earlier while using 'Carnage'

'Looks like a new effect of my growth link skill unlocked after I reached A rank' Evan said inwardly and looked at the details of his growth link skill.
