Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Everything went smoothly. We will attack in two days." Ronan said, holding a communication crystal inside a room in one of the recently built hotels. The aura around Ronan was a bit unstable as he had advanced to S rank a few days ago and still had to stabilize his core.

"No one objected to your suggestion?" Hearing Ronan's words, a man asked in a surprised voice from the other end of the communication crystal.

"Nathan, Ron and Margaret were against the suggestion of the attack, but because of the incident that happened more than half a month ago, I was successfully able to convince Ron and Margaret" Ronan said in a slightly hesitant voice.

"Just Ron and Margaret... What about Nathan?"

"I tried to reason with him, but he refused to take part in the attack and left the meeting midway."

"Hmmm" Ronan's heart skipped a beat and cold sweat appeared on his forehead when the person on the other end of the crystal didn't say anything after listening to him.

"Well...we can't do anything about him since he refused to participate in the attack. But make sure the rest of the plan goes smoothly." The man finally replied after a minute of silence.

Ronan finally calmed down after listening to the man and spoke in a reassuring voice. "Don't worry, I'll make sure everything goes smoothly."

"Alright, if anything happens let me know." The man said and ended the call.

"Looks like that Nathan is a lot smarter than he looks," Sera said to Nate after he ended the call.

"It doesn't matter whether he participates or not. Even without him, we will be able to get good information about the power of those summoned monsters. If those monsters are weak, it will be much easier for us to get rid of that guy when we attack him. But if those monsters are strong, they will get rid of the hunters of Naphliam City for us." Nate said in an indifferent voice while putting away the crystal.

"Overall, no matter what the outcome of the fight is, it will be a win-win situation for us," Elijah said with a cold smile on his face.

Two days later... In the western part of the Naphliam City...

Thump! Thump! - - -

The deafening echo of thunderous footsteps reverberated through the surroundings, resonating as the army of thousands of hunters advanced in perfect formation.

Ronan who was hovering in the sky looked at the hunters who were moving towards the Western Gate and nodded his head in satisfaction.

Margaret, Ron and Jared were also hovering beside Ronan and were looking at the hunters.

Jared had a serious expression on his face while Margaret and Ron were still unsure about their decision and were occasionally looking at the back of the moving army of hunters.

At the rear end of the hunter army, far away from Ron and others, Nathan was looking at the hunters without any expression on his face.

"That coward refused to participate in the attack but he still has the gall to come here," Ronan said in a cold voice when he noticed Nathan.

Ron, Margaret and Jared frowned when they heard Ronan.

"We should ask him to leave or he mig_"

"Can you shut your foul mouth?" Margaret said coldly and looked at him with narrowed eyes. "I don't know what you are trying to achieve by barking like a dog, but if you don't shut up, I will also retreat from this attack."

"You_" Ronan was furious hearing Margaret but he did not dare to say anything. Margaret's threat was one thing, but Ronan knew too well that he could not win against her. He took a deep breath and closed his mouth without saying anything.

Margaret just snorted seeing angry expressions on Ronan's face and stopped looking at him.

One hour later, The army of the hunters was just two kilometres away from the territory of shadow undeads.

"There are five thousand hunters and they are all the best of the best," Ron said as they were about to face the shadow undeads. "Margaret, Ronan and I will confront the monsters along with the hunters and will draw all their attention towards us. Meanwhile, Jared and his team will head towards the West Gate and search for Evan."

"Is that clear?" Ron asked while looking at Jared and others.

Everyone nodded their heads with serious expressions on their faces because all of them knew that it was not going to be an easy task.

"Jared, you and your team will move away from the main army and will wait for our signal. Make sure you head towards the West Gate only after receiving our signal."

"Alright," Jared nodded his head in agreement, looking at two A+ rank and three A rank hunters who were part of his team.

"It's a pity we can't teleport near the West Gate area directly," Charles said and sighed lightly.

"It can't be helped. We tried to use the teleportation artefact to teleport near the area of ​​the West Gate, but it turns out that the space around the West Gate is locked and we can't teleport there." Jared said in a disappointed tone because his mission would have been ten times easier if he could have teleported near the West Gate area.

The space around the West Gate was locked because of the Sonic Barriers of the Sonic Butterflies. Evan's shadow undeads created that barrier to protect him.

"We will try to find him as soon as possible, give us the signal after you attract their attention," Jared said after a moment and left with five hunters who were part of his team.

"Let's go" Ronan and the other hunters watched them leave before they also started to move towards the area where Shadow Undeads usually patrol.

In just a few minutes, the army was just a few hundred meters away from the area of Shadow Undeads. But the moving army suddenly came to an abrupt halt because they saw three Shadow Undeads leaving their patrol area and coming towards them.
