Necromancer Of The Shadows

"You were right. Necromancers are really nothing without their undeads," The space behind Evan suddenly flickered and Nate appeared there.

Before Evan could do anything after feeling Nate's presence, the sword Nate was holding flashed and Evan's head was sent flying high in the sky.

A fountain of blood erupted in mid air and Evan's headless body started to fall down from the sky. All the Shadow Undeads and Skeletons who were attacking Asher stopped and looked in the direction of Evan's falling body.

Thud!

With a loud thudding sound, the headless body of Evan crashed to the ground.

The battlefield became completely silent after Evan's headless body crashed to the ground. Asher's mind was still trying to process the variety of things that had happened in the span of the last few seconds so he didn't say anything after Evan was beheaded by Nate.

The shadow undeads were also silent and were looking at the place where Evan's body crashed.

Meanwhile, Nate's eyes behind the mask he was were filled with uncertainty and his entire focus was placed on the Shadow Undeads situation. Now that Evan was dead, he expected them to disappear. He feared that if they did not disappear, and try to avenge Evan's death, he would die a death worse than a dog.

'Why are they still here?' Nate's heart started beating like a drum when the shadow undeads did not disappear even ten seconds after Evan's death.

Suddenly, all the shadow undeads and skeletons lifted their heads at the same time and looked at Nate who was hovering high in the sky.

Feeling the gazes of so many S Rankers, Nate felt a chill running down his spine and he was ready to run away from there. But before he could run away...

.. Kekekke! Kekkeke! Hahaha! Hahaha! - - - -

All the skeletons and the shadow undeads started to laugh in an eerie manner.

'Why are they laughing?' Nate thought to himself when he saw the skeletons and the Shadow Undeads were laughing. 'Could it be that all these monsters were enslaved by Evan and by killing him I have freed them, so they celebrating by laughing?'

"Now this place looks like the set of a second rate horror movie, doesn't it?" Nate heard from his right side.

"Yeah, I am sure he must have tortured these monsters when he was alive which is why they are so happy after his deat_" Nate suddenly stopped speaking and his body stiffened. He slowly turned his head like a robot and looked at his right side.

"You... How are you..." Nate was shocked to his core when he saw Evan standing right beside him.

"You didn't hesitate even for a second when you chopped off my head. You are really ruthless," Evan said to Nate with a smile on his face.

Nate looked at Evan's headless body which was still on the ground and saw it slowly turn into a plume of black smoke and disappear.

"A clone?" Nate muttered in an uncertain voice seeing the body was disappearing.

"Correct, it was a clone," Evan nodded his head when he heard Nate's uncertain voice.

Earlier, after summoning his shadow undeads to fight against Asher, Evan tried to look for Nate using his spiritual senses.

But because of the interference of Asher's Domain, he was not able to sense his location. He was afraid that Nate would try to sneak attack him which is why he used his newly gained skill Shadow Clone.

---) Shadow Clone: Using the essence of shadow, you can create a clone of yourself. The clone will have fifty percent of your power and will be able to use all of your skills except for the class-specific and unique skills.

After creating his clone, Evan used the shadow walk skill and hid himself some distance away from the clone.

Asher was busy fighting against his shadow undeads so he was not able to notice that the person who was hovering in the sky was actually Evan's Clone and since he was hiding just a few metres away from the clone, no one was able to sense anything wrong with energy fluctuations even when he used shadow resurrection skill to summon back his shadow undeads.

A silver light appeared around Nate and he tried to teleport away after finding Evan was still alive, but before he could teleport away, Evan used gravity manipulation and sealed the space of the surrounding area.

Asher was also ready to run away after finding Evan was still alive, but the shadow undeads and the skeletons surrounded him and started to attack again. Asher had already used up most of his world essence so he wasn't able to break free from the encirclement of the shadow undeads and had no choice but to defend against their attacks.

"There is no need to leave so soon," Evan said to Asher after stopping him from running away. "Since you are already here let's have a good chat."

Evan stopped in front of Nate and raised a finger. Nate tried to get away from Evan but he couldn't do anything because his body was bound by the forces of gravity and wind.

A black dot started to form at the tip of Evan's finger and he pressed the black dot that formed at the tip of his finger against Nate's head.

"Soul Search," Evan said and the black dot that was spinning at the tip of his finger went inside Nate's body.

Before killing Nate, Evan wanted to get some information about the person who is inside the Inferno dungeon. Until now, he was not able to get any information about that person because all the members of the Dark Guild like Kazil and others couldn't remember anything about the dungeon after becoming shadow undeads.

Since he couldn't get any information about that guy after turning these people into shadow undeads, he can only use soul search in order to get some information.

"Arghh" Nate screamed out in pain when the black dot went inside his body and he felt like his soul was being eaten by someone.

"Just a few seconds and I should be able to get some useful informati_" Suddenly, before Evan could get any information from Nate, he felt a powerful force erupting from Nate's soul.

*Cough

Evan coughed out a mouthful of blood and was forced to get away from Nate because his soul-search skill was destroyed by the force that erupted from Nate's Soul.

"That guy placed a restriction on his soul so that no one can get any information about him," Evan muttered while breathing heavily because his soul was lightly injured.

Because of the backlash of the soul search skill, Evan was not able to maintain the gravity manipulation skill and the space in the surroundings returned to normal.

Although Nate also suffered a backlash, he did not miss this opportunity and instantly used his teleportation skill to run away from there.

Before activating his teleportation skill, Nate took out a small red orb and threw it towards Evan.

The moment Nate threw the red orb towards Evan, a sense of impending doom engulfed Evan's body. He wanted to run away from there but realized he couldn't move his body. The red orb was locked on him and a strange force that was coming out from the orb was binding the space around him.

"Shadow Possession," Without any hesitation, he used shadow possession and merged himself with Nekros whose defence and strength were quite high.

But even after using the Shadow Possession, Evan was not able to move his body.

The red orb that Nate threw arrived in front of Evan and....

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

An explosion that was even more powerful than a nuclear bomb engulfed the wilderness of Central City.
