Necromancer Of The Shadows

Evan stood up with a serious look on his face and used his world essence to summon back Eclipse. Eclipse didn't even get a chance to send him a message before he died. It means that the person who killed him was not weak.

The world essence inside Evan's core moved, and soon Eclipse's figure appeared in front of him.

He was about to ask him what had happened when...

Boom!

He heard the sound of fighting from the far distance and powerful energy waves spread in all directions.

"It seems we have some uninvited guests..." Cedar opened his eyes and sighed while looking in the direction from where he could hear the sound of fighting.

Evan used his shadow senses and connected his vision with one of the shadow undead who was in that area.

Upon connecting his vision with the shadow undead, Evan saw eight people coming in their direction.

'Beastkins' Evan raised an eyebrow when he saw the animal-like features of the eight people.

The two people in the lead had lion-like features and a golden mane around their neck. His shadow undeads tried to stop them, but the two people in front easily stopped the attacks of his shadow undeads and destroyed them without any problem with a slash of their claw-like hands.

'Both of them are at least mid-level Rank Two Core Evolvers' Evan narrowed his eyes when he saw the two people In front who were destroying his shadow undeads.

"They are coming in our direction. It seems they already know we are here," Cedar stood up and said in a calm voice as if he was not surprised by the sudden attack.

Noticing Cedar's calm look, Evan raised an eyebrow.

"Did you already know about them?" He asked in a surprised tone.

Cedar shook his head hearing Evan.

"I didn't know about them, but I expected that some uninvited guests would come after us."

Hearing Cedar, Evan looked at him without saying anything. After a moment, he opened his mouth and asked.

"Are they here because of me?"

Cedar smiled bitterly hearing Evan and nodded his head.

"Although I am not one hundred percent certain but the chances are pretty high that they are here because of you."

Evan's eyes narrowed upon Cedar's confirmation, and he already had a guess in his mind.

"Are they here because of my appearance, which is similar to half-elves?" he asked with a frown on his face.

"Ummm," Cedar nodded his head and was about to explain the reason to Evan when he noticed something, and his eyes flashed. "They are here.."

Evan looked in front of him and saw the eight beastkin people whom he had seen earlier using his spiritual senses coming towards them.

Most of his shadow undeads were killed by the two people who were in front of the group. After seeing they were no match for them, Evan ordered his other shadow undeads to retreat.

In just a few seconds, the eight people arrived near them and stopped only one hundred meters away from them.

"One peak and one middle stage of Rank Two..." Now that the eight people were in front of them, Cedar easily perceived the ranks of the two lion-type people who were in the lead of the group.

He didn't really care about the other six people who were at the back because two among the six were S Rankers while the other four were Rank One Core Evolvers.

"See Kael, didn't I tell you he is a top-grade commodity. We can definitely get a few million high-level essence stones if we capture him," the Mid-level rank two core evolver said to the peak rank two core evolver.

Kael looked at Cedar for a few seconds and felt the brown-

skinned elf was not simple. But after feeling the aura of mid-

level rank two core evolver around him, he stopped looking at him and looked at Evan who was standing with a frown on his face.

"Indeed, he is far better than the previous bastards that we captured before."

Evan didn't know why but he felt quite uncomfortable when he saw how Kael and others were looking at him.

"Hey Cedar, what are these fu*kers talking about?"

Cedar glanced at Evan from the corner of his eyes and noticing the frown on his face, he said in a low voice.

"They want to capture you so that they can sell you as a slave."

"Slave..." For some reason, Evan felt as if something inside him shook when he heard that word.

"Didn't I tell you before, the situation of the half-elves is not good in Utopia..." Cedar said in a low voice. "Most people don't care about the mixed bloods, but the Half Elves are different....

Cedar continued to speak and explained Evan about the situation of the half-elves, but he didn't notice that Evan had long since stopped listening to him and his eyes were completely blank.

"Slave"

After hearing that word, Evan suddenly found himself standing in a dark room. A strong smell of blood assaulted his nostrils and when he looked around him, he saw tens of dead bodies hanging upside down in the room.

Looking at the dark room, for some reason, Evan's heart started to beat faster and his breathing became irregular.

His body moved on its own and he walked deeper into the dark room. The room was very big and the bloodied dead bodies were hanging everywhere.

After walking for a minute, Evan suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a particular body that was hanging upside down.

The body was of a male elf who had light green hair and a kind-

looking face. The elf's body was pale white as if all the blood had been drained from it.

Looking at the elf's body, for the first time in his life, Evan felt a deep sense of sorrow. But the sorrow he was feeling didn't last long, as a bubbling rage started to fill his heart.

"That brown-skinned guy is not simple. Melad and I will handle him. Meanwhile, you guys capture that mixed-blood bastard," Kael said to the six Beastkin people who were standing behind him.

"These guys acting as—" Cedar was about to say something after hearing Kael, but before he could finish speaking, a cold demonic aura that was filled with intense killing intent erupted from beside him.

Cedar looked at Evan, who was standing beside him with a shocked look on his face, and noticed that his eyes had turned completely pitch black. Before he could understand what was happening, Evan disappeared from the place where he was standing at a speed that Cedar couldn't follow with his eyes.

Boom!

A booming sound echoed out, and red blood splattered in the air as the head of one of the Rank One Core Evolvers who was standing behind Kael exploded like a watermelon.

Drops of blood and brain matter splashed on the faces of the other Core Evolvers who were standing near the person whose head exploded, causing their faces to turn pale white.

Cedar looked in the direction of the booming sound and saw Evan had somehow appeared behind the beast people.

His whole body was covered in a black demonic aura and a chilly killing intent was coming out of his body.
