Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Damn it, even though I told Volac and Lightning Horse to go after Damian and Sonic Bat after the battle started, they couldn't get to them because of these bastards who are jumping at my shadow undeads without caring about their lives," Evan said in a frustrated voice after noticing Damian and Sonic Bat escaped while he was focused on summoning back his shadow undeads.

'They were moving towards the West Gate earlier. Should I go after them?' Evan thought, looking in the direction of the West Gate of the city. But after thinking about the current situation, he shook his head.

"Instead of taking the risk by going after them, I should just focus on eliminating the monsters and stabilising the situation in the city" Evan muttered and once again summoned back three of his shadow undeads who were killed by the monsters.

Even without Damian and Sonic Bat, the monsters continued their attack and did not back away.

"What the fu*k is going on here? Are all these monsters on drugs? They're attacking like crazy, even though their leaders have already escaped." Evan said in a speechless voice when the shadow undead of the Golden Lion was killed by the continued attacks of the monsters.

He summoned back Golden Lion again and the burden of summoning back an S rank shadow undeads was far greater than summoning back A+ rank undeads.

Time continues to elapse and before long, an additional two hours have transpired.

During these two hours, the army of nearly five hundred thousand monsters shrunk to two hundred thousand. Without Evan's Death Ring skill that can easily take care of large groups of monsters, it was not easy for small numbers of shadow undeads to kill so many monsters.

The battlefield was dyed red because of the blood and the dead bodies of monsters were scattered everywhere. A cloud of red mist was forming in the centre of the battlefield and even though Evan was twenty kilometers away from the battlefield, he could still smell the smell of blood.

"At last, my shadow undeads are not dying like before" Evan sighed in relief when the death rate of his shadow undeads slowed down greatly.

"I used up seventy percent of my mana in the last two hours, huh," Evan said while looking at his mana and ordered Ariel to fly towards the battlefield.

Among the remaining two hundred thousand monsters, most of them ranged from F rank to B rank. All the high ranking monsters that were part of the army were already eliminated by his shadow undeads.

After coming above the battlefield, Evan stretched out one of his fingers and activated the Soul Absorption Skill.

A small black dot formed at the tip of his finger and all the soul orbs that were floating above dead bodies were absorbed by him.

"It would have been great if I could refine the energy of souls using the Energy Devouring skill, but alas…"

Currently, Evan had hundreds of thousands of souls and other than increasing the power of his skills, he couldn't do anything with them. He tried to refine their energy using energy devouring skill, but it did not work.

If Evan could refine the energy of the souls, it would have been a great help to him since he had no use for so many souls for the time being.

"I should go and meet Nathan after clearing up the battlefield. He may have more information about Sonic Bat and Damian"

Thirty more minutes passed by and the number of monsters reduced to fifty thousand. All fifty thousand monsters were of low rank so it was quite easy for his shadow undeads to handle them now.

"Volac," Now that the number of monsters reduced, Evan called back Volac.

"Master," Just as Evan called him, Volac appeared before him like a ghost.

'With his ghost like appearance and horror movie type entry, he can definitely scare the sh*t out of any five year old child' Evan thought inwardly after seeing how Volac suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Go to West Gate and search for Damian and Sonic Bat"

Evan was not willing to go after Damian and Sonic Bat because he was afraid that it is a trap. But it didn't mean he was going to leave them alone. Even if it is a trap, he can still send his shadow undeads who are not afraid of any traps.

After receiving Evan's order, Volac quickly left from there.

As a shadow undead that was created by fusing the souls of an Assassin Type Hunter and Shade Stalker, the hiding and searching abilities of Volac were top notch.

"Let's wait and see what these bastards of the Dark Guild are cooking this time..." Evan muttered to himself as he watched Volac moving in the direction of the West Gate.

While Volac was going towards the West Gate, Titan Elephant and other shadow undeads continued to clear out the remaining monsters.

Twenty minutes after Volac left, all the monsters were finally killed by his shadow undeads. Since his shadow undeads had unlimited stamina, he ordered them to clear the battlefield immediately without giving them any break.

While his shadow undeads were clearing the battlefield, Evan suddenly felt something and used his shadow senses to connect with Volac.

When his vision connected with Volac, Evan was stunned because he saw Sonic Bat standing in front of him, but instead of attacking the Sonic Bat, Volac just stood at the same place, doing nothing.

'Volac,' Evan felt something was wrong and tried to call Volac, but his expression fell when Volac did not respond to him.

"What is wrong with him?" Evan tried to look around Volac to see if he could find anything, but other than Sonic Bat who was standing in front of Volac, Evan did not see anything strange.

While Evan was trying to understand what happened to Volac, an invisible figure who was holding a broken compass was rapidly coming in his direction.
