Necromancer Of The Shadows

Evan's body was aching all over, but his face was full of smiles.

He was looking at the seven ice blue colored, marble-sized cores In his hand with a satisfied face.

Not too far away from Evan, Valery was looking at him with a sour face.

When she made bet, she thought, she will be the one who will win the bet and will get back all the cores that Evan took from her earlier.

But reality turned out to be cruel as not only she didn't get her core back, she even has to give the rest of her cores to Evan.

Just thinking about how like a robber Evan demanded the cores the moment she appeared here made her mouth twitch.

"So, can you tell me now how you appear here before me?"

Evan looked at Valery with a blank gaze and said, "didn't I already tell you, I just slapped that orc to death and killed it in less than a second"

"Do you seriously want me to believe on this bullshit?" Valery said with a twitching eye.

"Then let me ask you something" seeing Valery was unhappy Evan put away cores and said in a neutral voice.

"What?"

"How did you kill that Yeti?" Evan asked while leaning back at the wall of the corridor.

"Of course, I killed it using one of my skills"

"What kind of skill?" Evan closed his eyes and asked in the same laid-back tone.

"Why do I need to tell yo_" Valery was about to say why she should tell him about her skill when she realized she was doing the same.

And not only that, when Evan said he slapped that yeti to death, he was clearly indicating he doesn't want to tell her.

Valery was so shocked that Evan appeared on the fifth floor before her that she completely forget that it is not good to ask people about their skills.

If a fight broke out between them for some reason, the person who knows about the skill of the other person will have a very big advantage against him.

Because of losing all of her cores, she forget about it and was continuously asking how he killed that Yeti.

She used her most powerful skill and killed that yeti in just nine seconds. Very few people know about her skill because this is her most powerful skill.

And since Evan killed that yeti in less than nine seconds it was clear that he also used his trump card, and she was asking him about his trump card like an idiot.

When Valery realized this she doesn't know what to say and just looked at him awkwardly.

after a moment of silence she said in an apologetic tone, "Sorry, I was just shocked that you killed that Yeti so soon that I lost my composer"

Evan was glad Valery understand what he was trying to say, and stopped asking him how he killed that Yeti.

There was a reason why he did not say it bluntly and wasted his energy telling her in a round way manner.

Now that Valery lost the bet she will have to give all the cores that she will collect to him.

Basically, she will do manual labor for him.

In other words, he was treating her like someone that he hired to do his work.

And it is common sense to have a good relationship with your worker so that they will try their best to complete their work.

In the novels, that he read in his past life most of the authors often mention that women are vengeful creatures.

Evan doesn't know if those authors were telling this from experience or just tarnishing the reputation of women, since he was always a loner.

Even in this life, he is still a loner.

Although he doesn't know if this is true or not, he still decided to take it seriously, and not do anything that made her lose interest in collecting cores for him.

Valery also sighed in relief when she saw Evan was not angry even though she was just asking about his skill so openly.

Her impression of Evan also improved quite a bit.

But that impression crumbled like a glass wall when she heard Evan's next words.

"Don't worry don't worry, just try to collect as many cores as possible if you are truly sorry"

Valery almost coughed out blood when she once again remembered she will have to give all of her cores to Evan.

Evan looked at Valery with a confused expression as to why her face suddenly became sour when he encouraged her to do her work.

Don't people say employees try their best if their boss encourages them?

Evan just encouraged her so he doesn't understand why her face turned sour.

Yes, he was really treating her like someone that he hired to collect cores for him.

If Valery know what Evan was thinking, there was a very high chance that she would fight against him to death.

"By the way, do you know what kind of monster we will face there?" Evan asked while pointing at the white door that was around ten meters high and five meters wide.

Valery took a deep breath to forget about the encouraging speech of Evan and shook her head,

"I don't know what kind of monster we will face, because the boss monster always appears randomly."

"We might face the frost leopard that we faced on the first floor or the Yeti that we faced on the fourth floor. Of course, the monster that will appear here will be C+rank instead of C rank and will be very difficult to deal with"

"When do you plan to enter?" Evan asked since it will take at least four to five hours for him to fully recover after using mana reinforcement.

He can see that Valery's face is also pale, maybe because of using some kind of skill to kill that Yeti quickly.

"We will enter after a few hours," Valery said after assessing her condition.

Evan nodded his head after hearing her because he was thinking the same and just closed his eyes to recover.
