Necromancer Of The Shadows

"What are these?" Evan asked as Cedar took out a bunch of berries-like fruits from his storage ring and threw them in front of the cave.

"Bullbears like to eat these berries. We should be able to lure it out of the cave using them," Cedar answered, looking at the entrance of the cave. Suddenly, he thought about something and frowned.

"By the way, the defence of the Bullbears is very strong. It won't be easy for you to kill it. If you want, we can look for a different Beginner Level Rank Two monster with weaker defence."

"High defense..." Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard Cedar and fell deep into thought. The reason he wanted to fight against a Beginner Level Rank Two monster was not only because he wanted to create Rank Two Shadow Undeads, but also because he wanted to test his current powers against a strong opponent.

Shadow Possession and Death Guardian can give him enough power to fight against Rank Two Core Evolvers, but these are something that can only be used in an emergency situation. The cooldown time for the Shadow Possession skill is ten hours, meanwhile, the Death Guardian skill can only be used once a week. These two things are not something that he can use on a whim.

He will soon enter the Tomb of The Ancient, so Evan wanted to test his powers against a Beginner Level Rank Two monster without using these two skills to get a good grasp of his powers.

Honestly, he wasn't sure if he could kill a Rank Two monster without using his Shadow Possession or the Death Guardian Authority.

Rank Two evolvers are way stronger than Rank One evolvers, and the last time he was able to kill Kael easily was only because of the passive effect of the Reaper's Wrath skill, Shadow Possession skill, and the Death Guardian Authority, which made it impossible for him to get hurt by any attack.

If not for the effect of the Death Guardian Authority, it would have been very difficult for him to kill Kael after he used his Zone. He was able to avoid Kael's Zone completely because of the Death Guardian Authority.

If he wants to kill a Beginner Level Rank Two Monster without using his most powerful skills, he will have to do a surprise attack to not give Bullbear any chance and kill it as soon as possible. But Cedar is saying it has a very high defence, so Evan wasn't sure if his attacks would work on it.

"Let's give it a try. Even if I can't beat it, I can use my undeads to safely escape from it," Evan said after a moment and looked at Cedar.

Cedar shrugged his shoulders hearing Evan, and didn't say anything else.

'It won't be difficult for me to save him even if something happens during the fight,' Cedar thought, and both of them waited for the Bullbear to come out of the cave.

The berries that Cedar used were very effective, and just after a few minutes of waiting, Evan noticed some movement in the cave.

Soon, a brown, three-meter-tall monster with two horns on top of its head walked out of the cave on its four hooves. The look of the monster was similar to a bear, but unlike the chubby body of a bear, the monster's body was muscular like a bull, and a powerful aura was emitted from its body.

Just looking at the bulging muscles of the Bullbear, Evan couldn't help but gulp down his saliva, and for a moment, he thought about searching for another monster to test his bravery.

"Go ahead, you can fight freely without worrying about other monsters. I will create some earth walls around this area so that other monsters won't be able to sense the fight," Cedar said in a low voice as he patted Evan's shoulder.

Evan's mouth twitched uncontrollably hearing Cedar, and he took a deep breath.

'Here goes nothing,' he said inwardly and took a step towards the Bullbear, who had just come out of its cave.

Wind Walk!

Using the Wind Walk skill, Evan instantly appeared above the head of the Bullbear.

The moment Evan appeared above it, the Bullbear sensed his presence and lifted its head at lightning speed, locking its deep yellow eyes with Evan's cold black eyes.

Before the Bullbear could take a proper look at Evan's face, the surroundings around it darkened.

"Shadow World!"

Evan used the Shadow World to its full power, and a black dome instantly covered an area of three hundred meters.

ROAR!

The Bullbear roared when its surroundings darkened and noticed Evan gathering his strength to punch down its head. When the Bullbear noticed Evan was planning to smash its head, it was already too late for it to dodge.

Although it was too late for it to dodge, the Bullbear didn't panic and instantly created a shield around its head to defend against the punch.

Evan smirked when he noticed the shield around the Bullbear's head and, at the last second, changed his position from punching down at the Bullbear's head to punching upwards, towards the empty sky.

The Bullbear was baffled when Evan suddenly changed his position to punch towards the empty sky and didn't know what he was planning. Just as the Bullbear was confused because of Evan's strange move, Evan suddenly disappeared from above its head.

"Teleportation!"

Utilizing the power of the Shadow World, Evan materialized between the four hooves of the Bullbear, positioning himself directly under the creature's stomach.

Power Aura!

Temporal Velocity!

Wind Manipulation!

Sonic Resonance!

Evan used many of his skills at the same time, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body. He was already in the position to punch upwards even before appearing below the Bullbear's stomach, so by the time the Bullbear realized what was happening, it was already too late.

Brrrrr!

Powerful sonic vibrations emanated from Evan's fist like the roar of a wild beast.

"Hiyyyyhaaa!" Evan shouted loudly and threw more than one hundred punches into the middle of the Bullbear's stomach in less than a second.

Evan's punches made contact with the Bullbear's stomach and...

BooooooooooooooooM!!!

ROAR!!!

The Bullbear roared in pain, and its giant body was sent flying toward the sky like a rocket.

The momentum at which the Bullbear moved toward the sky was so fast that the top of the Shadow World shattered, and the Bullbear continued to ascend higher into the sky.

The Bullbear coughed out large mouthfuls of blood in midair and felt as if its inner organs were crumbling one by one.

Evan was using the Temporal Velocity skill, so he watched the Bullbear ascending high in the sky in slow motion.

Green wind circled around his feet, and in an instant, he arrived above the Bullbear, who was still ascending toward the sky.

"Abyssal Vortex!" Evan said in a cold voice after appearing above the Bullbear, and a dark brown vortex, flashing with different colours of light opened in front of him.

The moment the vortex opened, tens of different kinds of attacks shot out from it and struck the Bullbear, who was still in the mid-sky and pushed it down towards the ground.
