Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Do you know what your mistake was?" Sylvan asked Cedar in a stern voice after freeing him from the vines.

"Yes, I shouldn't have talked about your book collection and the fact that you like young male Drya_"

"Shut up," Sylvan shouted in a serious voice. "I am not talking about that, and you know it."

Cedar lowered his head when he heard Sylvan's serious tone and didn't dare to speak.

Sylvan rubbed his eyebrows when he saw Cedar wasn't saying anything and sighed.

"Are you aware that if you had been caught by them, then all the Drayds would have been in danger?"

Cedar flinched and lowered his head even more, wearing a guilty expression.

Sylvan looked at Cedar's guilty face and shook his head.

"You are not a child anymore, so I won't say anything, but..." Sylvan said as his face turned serious. "I hope in the future you will consider things more thoroughly before taking any action."

Cedar raised his head and, seeing the serious look on Sylvan's face, he took a deep breath.

"I am sorry, grandpa. I was too rash this time. I promise that I won't make the same mistake in the future."

Sylvan nodded upon seeing Cedar's serious eyes and smiled slightly.

"So, what do you think about the outside world? After all, it was the first time you went out."

"It's alright..." Cedar said and proceeded to tell him everything that happened after they left the closed world.

Sylvan wasn't surprised when Cedar told him about the events, as he already knew about them.

Seeing Sylvan's lack of surprise, Cedar couldn't help but ask.

"How did you know about everything that happened? Did you follow us secretly?"

Sylvan shook his head when he heard Cedar and showed the crystal that Ashley had given him earlier.

"Not me, Ashley was the one whom I asked to follow you."

Cedar raised an eyebrow upon hearing Sylvan, but he wasn't too surprised.

"Did you ask her to follow us because it was the first time both Evan and I went to the Star City?"

"Yes..." Sylvan nodded upon hearing Cedar, his green eyes flashing. Although what Cedar said was also part of the reason why he asked Ashley to follow them, the real reason he sent her was because of Evan.

He was still not fully sure about Evan's true identity and was afraid that he might tell other people about their closed world. He had sent Ashley to keep an eye on him so that she could stop him if he tried to disclose their secret.

'Not only did he not try to disclose anything about our closed world, he even helped Cedar,' Sylvan said to himself and narrowed his eyes.

He played the recording crystal that Ashley gave him earlier, and a holographic screen appeared in front of him. On the holographic screen, the scene of Evan's fight against Kael and others was playing out.

Looking at Evan's pitch-black eyes and the way he killed Kael and others as if they were weak chickens, even Sylvan's eyes trembled.

Ashley had already told him about everything, but he was still shocked after seeing how Evan killed a peak Rank Two Core Evolver as if swatting a fly.

"He is a monster..." Sylvan heard Cedar's voice and saw him looking at the recording with a wary smile on his face.

"He is even worse than a monster..." Sylvan shook his head hearing Cedar and muttered in a low voice because he knew how insane it was for a Beginner Level Rank One Core Evolver to kill a Peak Rank Two Core Evolver.

'That guy used his Zone, but it was completely useless,' Sylvan raised an eyebrow when he saw Kael's zone didn't work against Evan.

Other than Evan's fight, Sylvan also noticed the shadow undeads that he had released before Kael and others attacked them. Seeing the black undeads with purple eyes, Sylvan thought about the shadow undeads of the Frost Wraiths that he had seen thousands of years ago, and his body shuddered.

'Even if he is not his son, there is no doubt he is somehow related to that monster,' Sylvan took a deep breath and thought inwardly. He stopped the recording after some time and put away the crystal.

"Give me the Enlightenment Stone," He said after putting away the crystal.

Hearing Sylvan, Cedar immediately gave him the storage ring of the Enlightenment Stone.

"We can finally use the law formation, right?" He asked after giving the Enlightenment Stone.

Sylvan took out the black stone filled with stars from the ring and nodded his head.

"I will ask Migul to use this Stone to activate the law formation of the Central Hall," Sylvan said and put back the Enlightenment Stone. "This way, all the people will be able to use it."

Cedar nodded his head hearing Sylvan and asked in an excited voice. "How much time will it take to complete the law formation?"

"The base of the formation is already ready, and Migul will just have to connect it with the Enlightenment Stone, so I think it should be ready in ten days at best."

"I see," Cedar said and gave another storage ring to Sylvan. "These are the things that you asked me to buy. Other than a few rare things that were out of stock, I purchased everything."

Sylvan took the ring and put it away without looking inside.

"I will be going now. I am sure Evan will also be happy to hear about the law formation..." Cedar said and stood up.

"You are going to meet him now?" Sylvan raised an eyebrow when he heard Cedar.

"No, I will go tomorrow. He was exhausted because of controlling his clone to fool Lucian and others, so he must be sleeping now."

Sylvan's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he heard Cedar. Even he was speechless when Ashley told him about how Evan fooled Lucian and others and even took away their storage rings.

'That guy is definitely not simple...' Sylvan thought and shook his head. He took out something from his storage ring and threw it towards Cedar. "Give it to him when you meet him tomorrow."

Cedar caught the thing that Sylvan threw towards him and was surprised when he saw what it was.

"This..." Cedar looked at Sylvan and saw him waving his hand.

"All right, you can leave now." Seeing Sylvan waving his hand, Cedar smiled and put away the thing that he gave him.

"Take care, Grandpa..." Cedar said and started to run out of the cave. "... You don't have to worry, I won't tell anyone that you like to peep at young male Drayds."

"This scoundrel..." Sylvan's mouth twitched when he heard Cedar and he shook his head.

He looked at the Enlightenment Stone in his hand and disappeared from the cave.
