Necromancer Of The Shadows



Evan was startled when someone suddenly tapped on his shoulder and almost jumped down from his moving hoverboard.

He quickly turned around to see who was behind him, and was stunned when he saw a smiling busty beauty behind him.

The female behind him was A rank hunter Layal he saw earlier. He stopped his hoverboard, and jumped down from it while looking at her with furrowed eyebrows.

He doesn't understand why she came here.

Layal looked at Evan with an amused look when he jumped away from her.

She received an order to capture this guy today morning. She was thinking it will be a pain to search for him in the city, and capture him.

But surprisingly earlier she noticed him while Aaron was telling other hunters about the new situation of the orc den.

At that time she used one of her skills, and left a mark on him so that she will be able to find him easily.

She was keeping an eye on the mark all this time, so that she will not lose his location.

"Do you need something from me?" Evan asked her after jumping down.

Even though his expressions were calm outside, he was thinking about how he can run away from here.

He can't understand why she came here. He doesn't even know her and from the way she was looking at him, he can feel something is not right.

She is an A rank hunter. If she decided to kill him he has no way to resist.

Even with shadow energy, he wasn't sure about doing anything against her.

Shadow energy can last just for one or two seconds. But he doesn't know if it can increase his power to A rank.

Plus if he uses shadow energy and Layal sensed danger, she can fly into the sky.

If she flies into the sky he will not be able to do anything even with shadow energy.

"I need you to come with me" Layal answered Evan's question with the same smile on her face.

"Come with you?, Why?" Evan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nothing much, one of my friends asked me to bring you," Layal said while shrugging her shoulder.

''Someone asked her to bring me over'' Evan looked at her with a confused look then he thought about something and asked

"Are you talking about Jeffrey?"

In Aquaville City the only person he can think of who wants to meet him can only be Jeffrey.

He came here for the first time so he can't think of anyone else.

A look of confusion appeared on Layal's face for a moment when she heard the name Jeffrey, but it instantly disappeared and she nodded her head.

"Yes it's Jeffrey who asked me to bring you over"

Seeing her Evan can easily tell she was lying.

'Just what the hell she wants with me?' Evan thought while trying to figure out a way to escape from here.

Seeing Evan did not say anything after hearing her Layal clicked her tongue. She can already see that he is not going to come with her just because she is asking.

She could have easily knocked him out earlier and brought him with her.

But if she knocked him out she will have to carry him all the way back to the city, even though it is nothing much for an A rank hunter she still finds it troublesome to carry someone.

She was hoping he will follow her with his own free will and she will not have to carry him.

"Hey, you should know if I want to bring you with me, you can't do anything. Don't you think you should just obediently follow me. It will save both of us from troublesome things" The smile on Layal's face disappeared and she asked while looking at him without any expression.

Even though it pains him, Evan knew she was right. Currently, he can't do anything to her.

If he uses shadow energy and fails, it will even more dangerous for him.

He will lose most of his power after using shadow energy, because his body is too weak to witness its power.

Plus, Layal will definitely try to find out about shadow energy if she sees him using it.

'Damm it, I should have absorbed those cores earlier even though it was risky' Evan can't help but curse thinking about his current situation.

If his monarch core advanced to C rank he might have a chance to escape from here.

But in his current situation, he can't think of anything that can help him.

"Alright," Evan decided to go with her after thinking about all the things.

From the looks of things, he can tell that she doesn't want to kill him, and there is no way he will be able to escape from her even if he tries.

There were just two options for him.

Either he goes with her while being conscious. Or go with her while being unconscious.

It was no surprise he chose to go while being conscious. If he is unconscious there is no way he will be able to escape from her.

But if he is conscious he might get a chance to get away from her.

"Good," Layla nodded her head and smiled after hearing his response.

If he refused she would have to carry him all the way. Of course, in return, she would have given him a good beating before he passed out.

After he agreed they once again started to move towards the city.

All this time Evan was looking for an opportunity to escape.

Sadly he did not get any opportunity even when they were about to reach the city.

Layal already took away his phone and storage ring. Even if he secretly wanted to send a message to Jeffrey he can't do that without his phone.

When he was near the city he thought about asking for help from the guards at the entrance.

Although he knew there were very low chances that they can help him, he still has to try something.

He has no information where she will take him after entering the city. Asking for help from the guards might be his last chance.

But when they were just one kilometer away from the city gate, even before he could react, Layal gave Evan a karate chop and his vision turned black.
