Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Shadow Walk"

Evan used his shadow walk skill and suddenly appeared inside the barrier that was covering Amara.

"What the_" Amara was shocked when she saw Evan suddenly appearing inside her barrier.

Evan wanted to kill her in a single attack but before he could attack her, one of the formations engraved on Amara's lab coat activated on its own.

The A rank core she was holding instantly turned into dust, and a strong force erupted from her body, sending Evan flying backwards.

Evan controlled his body in mid air and landed fifty meters away from her. He was not injured because of his strong body, but he still felt annoyed that he missed such a good opportunity to end the fight in an instant.

'As expected, there are many formations engraved on that shitty coat' Evan cursed inwardly and once again charged towards Amara.

Because of his high agility, he covered the distance of fifty meters very quickly and arrived in front of her in an instant.

His hands glowed with azure light as he punched her using the sonic resonance skill.

While attacking, he was paying extra attention to Amara's lab coat because of the formations that were engraved on it.

"Do you think I can only fight using the formations?" Suddenly Evan heard Amara's voice and saw instead of backing away, she took a step forward and met his punch head on using her own punch.

At first, Evan was surprised, but his surprise soon turned into shock when his fist met with Amara's punch and he felt the power behind it.

Booooom!

A loud booming sound echoed throughout the lab room.

Crack!

With a sound of bone cracking, Evan was sent flying backwards like he was hit by a truck.

Bang!

He crashed against the wall of the lab room that was covered in silver stones and coughed out blood.

The shockwaves that were generated by their clash travelled all over the lab room and the silver stones that Stony used to reinforce the lab started to crack.

Before Evan could understand what happened, he felt a strong gust of sharp wind coming towards him. He immediately used temporal velocity and wind manipulation to increase his agility and quickly moved away from there.

Just as he moved away

Booooom!

Something crashed at the place he was a moment ago. When Evan looked there, he saw Amara standing there, looking at him with a faint smile on her face.

He ignored her smile and looked at her hands which were now looking like the claws of a monster.

Her hands were dark violet in colour and nails that were ten centimeters long were coming out from them.

'Now I understand why her rank suddenly increased to S rank' Evan narrowed his eyes when he saw Amara's claw like hands.

From the moment Evan saw Amara, he felt it was strange that she became an S rank hunter because according to Kazil, it was just a few months ago she reached A+ rank.

It is simply impossible for normal people to reach the S rank in just a few months after reaching to A+ rank.

Unlike Evan who has the monarch core that can stabilize his prime core, normal people have to wait for a long time to stabilize their core after advancing.

This is why Evan was surprised when he saw Amara was S rank hunter. But after seeing those claw like hands, he can finally guess how she reached S rank.

"You fused yourself with an S rank monster?" Evan said in a questioning tone, but his voice was filled with certainty.

"Oh, so you can tell" Amara raised an eyebrow when she heard Evan, but she soon smiled and nodded her head, "It wasn't that long ago since I fused myself with the monster and this is the first time I'm using this power."

Evan didn't show much reaction on the outside, but inwardly he was quite shocked.

In the central city when he faced the people sent by Sera, he saw how the power of those people increased when they used the power of monsters.

The B+ rank hunters reached the peak of A rank when they fully transformed into humanoid monsters.

Amara reached S rank after fusing herself with an S rank monster. So Evan wasn't even sure how much her strength would increase if she fully transformed.

"Now, do you regret coming here?" Amara asked with a cold smile on her face when she saw Evan was not saying anything.

When Evan heard her, he stopped looking at her claw like hands.

"Regret you say" Evan muttered and a white light covered his right arm that was broken because of his earlier clash against Amara.

Amara narrowed her eyes when she noticed Evan's hand was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"If you think you have already won then you are greatly mistaken" Evan said and stopped using regeneration after his hand was fully healed. "I was just being careful while using my strength because I was afraid of turning you into a meat paste, but since you fused yourself with an S rank monster, I think I don't have to worry about that anymore."

Suddenly a powerful aura erupted from Evan's body and he bolted towards Amara.

"Ignorant fool," Amara said with a sneer on her face when she saw Evan charging toward her. Her claw-like hands glowed with purple light and she slashed at him.

While rushing towards Amara, Evan used power aura, wind manipulation, mana reinforcement and temporal velocity.

Amara thought Evan would dodge her attack to avoid getting injured like last time, but she was shocked when Evan lifted one of his hands and grabbed the claw that she used to slash at him.

"Impossible" Amara was shocked when Evan caught hold of her claw without getting injured and no matter how much strength she applied she was not able to pull her claw back.

She was about to use her second claw to attack, but before she could attack, Evan's eyes glowed and he used the Mind suppression skill.

"Arghh" Amara felt a splitting headache and lost focus for a moment.

"I hope you don't die from just this." before she could regain her focus, she heard Evan's voice and the next second a punch that was releasing sonic vibrations landed on her stomach, sending her flying backwards like a broken kite.
