Necromancer Of The Shadows

*Gulp

"You scared?" Edward asked in a mocking tone, noticing Julian swallowing his saliva from time to time.

"Scared? Why would I be scared?"

"If you are not scared then stop looking at them and focus in front of you."

"I am not looking at them," Julian said in a serious voice hearing Edward. "I am just monitoring them so that they won't be able to do anything suspicious."

Edward shook his head hearing Julian and stopped bothering him. He looked in front of the city wall and sighed inwardly.

'Let's hope everything goes well.'

"Are you all ready? Our scouts have just informed us that the monster army will be here in half an hour." Sebastian landed in front of the city walls and asked Elysia who was standing in the lead of the shadow undeads.

"Don't you think this question should be asked of them instead of us?" Elysia said in a flat voice while glancing behind her. Most of the hunters present there were looking at them warily and some of them were even showing hostility.

Sebastian rubbed his temples when he saw this. He knew very well what the hunters were thinking, but he still couldn't help but curse them inwardly.

"Don't worry about them. Although I know their behaviour is not good, I can assure you that they will not try to harm you in any way." Sebastian said after a moment.

"Won't try to harm us?" Hearing Sebastian's words, a sneer appeared on Elysia's face. "They literally threw us in front of the monster army to act as cannon fodder and you're saying they won't try to harm us."

"This_" Sebastian was lost for words after listening to Elysia. Earlier, he had tried to convince the hunters that they should all work together, but the hunters were afraid that the shadow undeads would attack them in the middle of the battle and suggested placing them on the front lines.

Although Sebastian was against the suggestion, he couldn't do anything because most of the hunters were in favour of placing them in front.

"You don't have to worry about us, Lowlife," Elysia said indifferently after seeing Sebastian's troubled expression. "We are not afraid to fight against them directly because we are different from all of you."

"What do you mean?" Sebastian asked in a confused tone.

Hearing Sebastian's words, Elysia just smiled and did not answer him. There was no need for her to tell him that even if they died here, they would all just return to Evan's side.

Thump! Thump! - - -

After a few minutes, suddenly, the sound of roaring footsteps started echoing throughout the wilderness.

Along with the sound of footsteps, a chilling demonic aura filled the surroundings.

Most of the low level hunters felt a chill run down their spines feeling the chilling aura coming from the distance.

"Go back and handle them," Elysia said to Sebastian feeling the chilling aura.

Sebastian hesitated for a moment hearing Elysia, but looking at the low level hunters who were shaking because of the powerful demonic aura, he retreated towards them.

"Sister Spider, you can start," Elysia said to Miss Spider after Sebastian left.

Hearing Elysia, Miss Spider who was at the rear end of the shadow undead army closed her eight purple eyes.

Just as she closed her eyes, her body started to glow and a deep green aura came out of her body, covering all four hundred shadow undeads.

"Life Chain" Miss Spider said and all the shadow undeads felt as if they were all now connected with each other.

Life Chain was the same skill that Miss Spider had used while fighting against Evan. Now all the Shadow Undeads were connected to each other and any damage that they would suffer would be divided equally among themselves.

After Miss Spider used Life Chain, Elysia lifted one of her hands towards the sky and used the skill that she had received after reaching the peak of A+ rank.

"Lustrous Guardian."

A radiant white light erupted from Elysia's hand and covered all the shadow undeads. All the shadow undeads felt their defence increased greatly the moment they were touched by the light coming out from Elysia's hand.

"With the Lustrous Guardian and Life Chain, we will be able to fight against them more freely," Elysia said after the skill took effect.

Thumb! Thump! - - - -

"Hahaha, I can feel the presence of people. I can finally satisfy my killing urge." Suddenly, along with the sounds of footsteps, a roaring voice rang out.

Soon, five Demons who were two meters tall and were deep red in colour came out from the wilderness. There were two horns on top of the demons' heads and a red aura was covering their bodies.

The five of them were the S rank blood demons summoned by Damian. Behind the five S rank Demons, the army of other demons was following.

"These... What kind of monsters are these?" Julian asked with his eyes wide open when he saw the army of Demons.

Other hunters were also confused because they too had never seen monsters like Demons.

"Don't lose focus," Sebastian shouted seeing the hunters were getting distracted because of the strange appearance of Demons.

ROAR! ROAR! - - - -

While the hunters were confused, roars of monsters resounded and soon the army of monsters led by Damian and Sonic Bat also arrived beside the army of Demons.

"That bastard..." Seeing Damian who was sitting at the top of Sonic Bat, Sebastian's eyes turned red from anger and he clenched his fist tightly.

On the other hand, Damian and Sonic Bat were also shocked to their cores when they saw the small army of shadow undeads that was standing in front of the hunters.

Although it was more than a month ago, they still did not forget what had happened in Naphliam City.

"How is that possible? Isn't that guy still in Naphliam City? What are his summoned monsters doing here?" Seeing the Shadow Undeads, Damian's mind went into chaos and the images of how the shadow army destroyed his monster army in Naphliam City started to appear in his mind.

"Damian this_" The Sonic Bat was also stunned and his heart started to beat like a drum seeing the shadow undeads.

As their minds were turning into a mess after seeing the shadow undeads, Damian suddenly noticed something.

"Calm down and look carefully," He said in a serious voice when he felt Sonic Bat getting restless, "Unlike the monsters in Naphliam City, there is only one S rank monster here and I can't sense the presence of any other S rank monster. If my guess is correct then that guy is still in Naphliam City and these monsters are something that he left behind in Astrate City when he left for Naphliam City."

After listening to Damian, Sonic Bat once again looked towards the Shadow Army and found that he was right. Just like Damian, he too could not sense the presence of any S Rank monster other than Miss Spider.

Damian's eyes narrowed after confirming Evan was not there and he said in a cold voice.

"Since that guy is not here, this is our chance to take revenge for what happened in Naphliam City,"

Damian uses the triangular-shaped token and orders the Demons to kill all the shadow undeads.

Hearing Damien's command, the army of demons did not hesitate and locked their auras on the shadow undeads.

"It seems we are being underestimated because of our low numbers," Elysia said in an amused voice but the purple flames in her eyes were deathly cold. She didn't like the fact that she was being looked down upon.

"Allow me to show them what happens when they underestimate their opponents."

The two mouths that were at the top of Gobu's head opened and he said in a sinister voice.

Even before Elyais could say anything, Gobu pressed his feet on the ground and jumped towards the armies of Demons and Monsters.
