Necromancer Of The Shadows

Evan stopped using the Chameleon Illusion skill and returned back to his original appearance upon entering the city.

He first transferred all the things that were inside Grunk's storage ring into his shadow storage and threw away the ring so that even if there was a tracking mark on the ring, no one would be able to track him.

After dumping everything inside his shadow storage, Evan looked at the things that he received from Grunk while walking in the direction of Malark.

The first thing that Evan saw was a small pile of bright green crystals that were filled with World Essence. He took out one of the crystals from his shadow storage and looked at it closely.

"So this is the Essence Crystal huh," He muttered as he felt the rich world essence that was inside the crystal. Evan tried to refine the crystal and noticed that he could directly absorb the world essence that was inside the crystal to recover his used up world essence.

"I can use these crystals to recover my strength during a fight..." Evan said to himself and counted the crystals that he got.

"There are just three hundred and twenty six crystals here," Evan said and rubbed the back of his head.

Although after using the soul search he knew the essence crystals are very rare, he still couldn't help but feel that Grunk was quite a poor bastard.

"I need to give Malark two hundred crystals because I promised him that by the end of the day, I would give him double the amount of crystals he paid for the sandwich," Evan said to himself and smiled warily when he remembered how Malark was crying after paying for the sandwich.

"Well, I wouldn't have cared about him, but since he tried to help me even when those orcs showed up I think I can at least do this much."

Evan looked at the other things that he got from the storage ring and saw two Light Bule flowers that had three petals in them. He focused on the flowers and their details appeared in front of his eyes.

---) Sea Aqua Flower (Rank One): A rare flower that can only be found deep within the sea. This flower is filled with a large amount of water element energy and can help people increase their understanding of the Conceptual Energy Of Water. The effects of the flower can be enhanced by turning it into a potion.

Evan read the details of the flower and raised an eyebrow. Generally speaking, if he wants, he can use this flower himself and try to understand the mysteries of the water element.

As long as his understanding of an element reaches a certain degree, he will be able to change his world essence according to his understanding of that element.

For example, if he uses the Sea Aqua Flower and his understanding of water element reaches a certain degree, he would be able to change his conceptual energy between the conceptual energy of Void and the conceptual energy of Water at will.

But if instead of focusing on one type of conceptual energy, if he tries to focus on two energies at the same time, it will become incredibly difficult for him to show the full power of any of the energies, which is why Evan was planning to focus on the conceptual energy of the void for the time being.

"I can give this flower to Aqua. His affinity with the water element is quite high so it might be helpful to him," Evan said to himself, but soon he fell into deep thought.

'Aqua is still an S ranker and he doesn't have world essence inside his body so it will be useless even if I give this flower to him.' Evan sighed lightly and shook his head.

"Guess, I will have to wait until I become a Rank One Core Evolver and increase the rank of my shadow undeads through the growth link skill before they can use the resources like this flower."

Other than sea aqua flowers, there were a few more high ranking herbs as well, but they were also not useful to Evan for the time being.

"Amara can study these herbs to increase her knowledge so that she will be able to make high level potions for me In the future," Evan said and threw all the herbs in front Of Amara who was inside his shadow storage.

From the storage ring, he got some S rank weapons as well but since those weapons were made for Grunk, they were useless to Evan so he gave them to Nekros, Astronox and the shadow undeads of extreme demons who were specialised in physical strength.

There were a few other things as well but they were also completely useless. Evan threw them in one of the corners of the shadow storage and stopped looking at them.

After a few minutes, Evan arrived at the place where he left Malark. Although it had been nearly one and a half hours, Malark was still crying.

On a closer look, Evan even noticed some meat buns in the bowl that he had left in front of Malark.

"This guy is really shameless," Evan said when he saw some leftover meat sauce at the corner of Malark's mouth. It was obvious that although he was crying, he still didn't let go of the free food.

'Isn't this man afraid that if he eats the free food without thinking, he will be scammed once again?' Evan thought inwardly and walked towards him.

When Malarak heard the sound of footsteps, he started crying even louder and pushed the bowl a little ahead.

Evan's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he saw this and he nearly kicked Malrak for his overacting.

"It seems you are quite satisfied with this business."

Malark's body stiffened when he heard Evan's voice and he slowly lifted his head. When he lifted his head and saw Evan's disdainful eyes, Malark's face turned red.

*Cough

He coughed in embarrassment and pulled back the bowl that he had pushed ahead in order to get something from Evan.

"I... I was trying to hone my mind by acting lik_"

"Don't worry, I understand," Evan stopped Malrak from speaking and threw a storage ring inside his bowl. "I won't disturb you anymore. You can continue honing your mind."

Malark was stunned when he heard Evan and looked inside the storage ring. When he looked inside and saw two hundred essence stones, a shocked look appeared on his face.

"This_" Malark looked at Evan and wanted to ask him where he got these essence stones, but he saw that Evan was already walking away.

"Wait," Malrak shouted and quickly chased after Evan.

"What?" Evan asked while raising an eyebrow when Malark stopped him.

Malark took a deep breath after stopping in front of Evan and shook his head.

"I can't take these essence Stones. I don't know where you got these stones from, but I know that earning essence stones here is no easy task. You have just arrived here, so you should just keep them for yourself to buy some resources for yourself," He said and returned the storage ring back to him. "Besides...I am sure you must have robbed someone and I will only get in trouble if I take them from you."

Evan looked at Malrak for a few seconds after hearing him and his lips curved upwards slightly.

'This guy is not bad' He placed the storage ring back into Malark's hand and started to walk away from there.

"Oye, I said I do_"

"Hey Malark, do you want to see something interesting?" Before Malrak could finish speaking, Evan looked back at him and asked with a friendly smile on his face.

Seeing the friendly smile on Evan's face, Malark felt a chill run down his spine and remembered how Evan had shown him the exact same smile after offering him the sandwich.

'This terrorist is once again planning to do something illegal.' Malark thought inwardly and turned around to run away from Evan.
