Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Let's go, I need to tell Grandpa Sylvan about the Enlightenment Stone," Cedar said after resting in the grassy plane for some time and stood up.

Evan nodded and stood up as well. "Just tell me where my house is located, and you can go."

Cedar was taken aback when he heard Evan and looked at him in confusion. "You're not coming with me?"

Evan shook his head hearing Cedar and rubbed his eyebrows. "I just want to go back and take a long sleep. Controlling that clone from thousands of kilometres away exhausted all of my spiritual energy."

A look of understanding flashed on Cedar's face when he heard Evan, and he spoke in an apologetic voice. "I'm sorry, it was because of my recklessness that we nearl_"

"It's fine, we are already out of danger, so you don't have to feel bad," Evan waved his hand and said calmly.

Cedar smiled upon hearing Evan's words and flew in a certain direction. "Come, I will meet Grandpa Sylvan after taking you back to your house."

"Just tell me the exact direction of the house, I will go back on my own," Evan said as he flew after Cedar.

"It's fine, this place is not far from where you live. I will go back after sending you back," Cedar said with a smile on his face.

Evan didn't say anything when he heard Cedar and followed behind him. In just half an hour, they reached the mountain where Evan's house was located. Seeing the lush mountain and the beautiful river flowing down from the top, Evan couldn't help but smile slightly.

"I will come back tomorrow," Cedar said once Evan's house came into sight.

"Okay," Evan nodded and landed at the top of the mountain.

Cedar bid farewell to Evan and flew away. Evan watched him disappear from sight, then turned around with a slight smile.

"Once Cedar tells Sylvan about what I did outside, his impression of me will definitely improve," Evan said to himself, thinking about the Tomb of the Ancient. "Although it was somewhat unexpected, my chances of entering the Tomb of the Ancient with the Drayds increased quite a bit because of this event."

Evan entered the house and without bothering about anything, slumped down on the couch in the living room.

He wasn't lying when he said his mind was completely exhausted from controlling his shadow clone from thousands of kilometres away. While his shadow clone could perform basic tasks on its own, without his spiritual power to guide it, it would have been impossible for the clone to deceive Lucian and others.

"Now that I think about it, I really feel sorry for poor Lucian..." Evan muttered in a low voice after settling onto the couch.

He took out the four storage rings that his clone received from Lucian and others, and his smile widened.

"It's a good thing that the shadow storage of my clone is connected with mine; otherwise, it would have been impossible for me to get their wealth..." Evan said as he linked all four storage rings with himself.

Although he had looked inside the storage rings when his clone received them, he hadn't checked the exact amount of stones due to the circumstances at that time.

"Although I didn't check them properly, the number of essence stones in all four of these rings should be higher than one hundred million high-level essence stones, right?" Evan muttered as he looked inside one of the rings.

When Evan examined the ring, he saw small mountains of deep blue stones. The Essence Stones inside the ring were larger than the ones he had received in the World Domain.

In the World Domain, he had received low-level essence stones. However, all the stones inside the rings he received from Lucian and others were high-level essence stones. Using his spiritual senses, Evan covered all the essence stones and immediately determined the quantity inside the first ring.

"Around forty-five million high-level essence stones..." Evan muttered, taking in a sharp breath. Though he had expected it, he was still stunned by the amount inside the first ring.

He glanced at the other three rings and saw they were also filled with high-level essence stones: 55 million, 69 million, and 62 million, respectively. When Evan totalled the numbers, his mind went blank, and he stared at the ceiling of the living room with a dazed look on his face.

"231 million high-level essence stones..." Evan muttered with a blank look on his face, still finding it hard to believe that he has more than two hundred million high-level essence stones.

After looking at the ceiling of the living room for quite some time, Evan finally came back to his senses and took some deep breaths.

He tried his best to remain calm; he really tried, but in the end....

"I am rich, hahahaha...." He couldn't control himself and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Some low-level fishes that were swimming in the river were baffled when they heard Evan's mad laughter and quickly dived into deeper water, afraid that this madman would come to eat them.

Evan continued to laugh for quite some time and only stopped when he started to feel a headache due to his low spiritual power that was still recovering.

"Now I don't need to worry about money for quite some time..." Evan said after he calmed down and placed the storage rings back into his shadow storage.

After putting back the rings, he finally closed his eyes. Because of how exhausted his mind was after controlling the clone, Evan immediately fell asleep the moment he closed his eyes.

While Evan was sleeping, Cedar finally reached his destination and landed in front of Sylvan's cave.

'I hope he wouldn't beat the sh*t out of me after knowing what I did...' Cedar thought after landing in front of the cave.

'Urghhh... I wanted to bring Evan with me for moral support, but it can't be helped since he is tired...' Cedar said to himself and finally entered the cave after taking a deep breath.
