Necromancer Of The Shadows

Evan examined the map that Volac created and was surprised to see its detailed craftsmanship, akin to that of a professional artist.

'To think Volac, who can scare the daylights out of any three-year-old child just with his look is such a skilled artist...' Evan mused, thinking about the ghost-like face of Volac.

When Evan observed the map of the plain ground, he finally realized its vastness. Even the mountains that he could see on the horizon were more than one hundred thousand kilometres away from him.

Through the map, he noted numerous peculiar locations across the plain ground.

"What are these cross marks that I'm seeing on the map?" He queried, pointing at the cross symbols on the map.

"These marks indicate places where members of Team Black noticed unusual phenomena such as strange plants, minerals, and other treasures or resources. Although they identified these items, they were guarded by Beginner Level Rank Two or Mid-Level Rank Two monsters, so the team merely marked them on the map instead of attempting to collect them," Volac explained upon hearing Evan's question.

Evan's eyes sparkled with interest at the mention of treasures and resources, and he noticed there were about nine cross marks on the map.

"Furthermore," Volac added, "Team Black also discovered many other items that were not guarded by any monsters. Although these were not as valuable as the items protected by the monsters, I still instructed them to collect all of them as well."

Evan nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Volac's explanation and focused on a different mark on the map.

"What about these star marks?" He asked, looking at the four star marks on the map.

"These indicate the places where Team Black encountered other individuals."

"Other individuals..." Evan raised an eyebrow upon hearing Volac. "... You mean individuals from other races who entered the Tomb?"

"Yes," Volac nodded in confirmation hearing Evan.

Evan looked at the star marks and noticed that Volac had even noted the rank of the people whom Team Black had encountered.

"One beginner-level Rank Two, two peak-level Rank One, and one mid-level Rank One evolvers, huh..." He muttered and decided to ignore them for the time being as they were not a threat to him.

While Evan was studying the map, Team Red brought a few more dead monsters. Evan absorbed the souls of the monsters using the Soul Absorption skill.

After absorbing the souls of the monsters now he had a total of fifty-three souls of beginner-level Rank One monsters, sixteen souls of mid-level monsters, and four souls of peak-level Rank One monsters in his collection.

"I can finally create a Soul Beacon using the beginner-level Rank One Souls," Evan said upon noticing that he finally had fifty Beginner Level Rank One Souls and activated the Soul Beacon skill.

The moment he used the Soul Beacon skill, fifty beginner-level Rank One souls immediately disappeared from his collection, and a small triangular-shaped object appeared in his hand.

Evan examined the triangular-shaped object and its details appeared before him.

---) Beginner-Level Rank One Soul Beacon: Can be used to teleport to a distance of fifteen thousand kilometres.

"Fifteen thousand kilometres..." Evan's eyes lit up when he saw the distance that he could teleport using the Soul Beacon and he smiled slightly.

"Now that everything is ready, I should also start moving," He muttered and stood up.

He looked at the map, and his eyes stopped on the biggest cross mark.

"Something that is being guarded by one mid-level and two beginner-level Rank Two monsters must be quite valuable," He said and summoned his mount.

"I never thought that I would ride something like this in my life."

Evan remarked as he sat on the back of the Wind and Lightning sheep.

The Shadow Undeads of the Wind and Lightning sheep were Beginner Level Rank Two, so their agility was obviously higher than Evan's. Even though it was strange to ride a sheep, there was no reason for him not to utilize them to travel faster in the Tomb Of The Ancient.

After mounting the Wind and Lightning sheep, he summoned back the members of Team Red into his shadow storage. Since Team Black was still creating the map, Evan didn't call them back.

He summoned a second Wind and Lightning sheep and asked Volac to ride it. Volac sat down on the sheep's back and continued to create the map using the intel that other members of Team Black were sending him.

Once Volac was settled, Evan ordered the sheep to move towards the location marked on the map. Wind and Lightning burst around the sheep, and both sheep turned into green-

purple streaks, speeding towards the designated location.

The agility was the fort of the Wind and Lightning sheep so it allowed them to move at a very fast speed.

Sitting atop the sheep, Evan felt as if he was riding a supercar, and a wide smile appeared on his face.

Volac was focused on creating the map, so he created a shield around himself using the world essence to avoid being disturbed by the lightning speed of the sheep.

The place where Evan wanted to go was around thirty thousand kilometres away from his location, but because of the lightning speed of the sheep, it took him just fifteen minutes to reach there. He could have gotten there even faster if the sheep had used their skills, but there was no need for that.

When he was around fifteen thousand kilometres away from the location, he even dropped the Soul Beacon that he had created earlier to the ground so that he could immediately escape if something unexpected happened.

Upon reaching his destination, Evan saw a cave in front of him and felt the aura of one mid-level and two Beginner Level Rank Two monsters coming from inside. Other than the aura of the monsters, he also felt a strange aura that was completely different from the monsters.

"This must be the aura of the thing that these monsters are guarding," He muttered and dismounted the sheep. After dismounting the sheep, he walked towards the cave and his shadow started to shake. "Come out Team Red, it's time to hunt."
