Necromancer Of The Shadows



"To think they will attack the city during the monster tide"

"I heard more than fifteen thousand people died because of the sudden attack"

When Evan and others entered the city gate they heard some hunters talking with each other.

Sophie and the others were confused when they heard them, but Evan, who knew about the dark guild's plan was shocked when he heard them.

'How the hell they killed fifteen thousand people?' Evan thought when he heard them.

He already knew there will be some causalities even though they were aware about the dark guild's plan, after all, other than the fact that the dark guild will attack the city they were unaware about other things, like how many people will attack the city? when will they attack the city? Or the location where they will attack. They had very little information about the attack.

But even then Evan never thought that the causalities will be more than fifteen thousand.

'Did they ignore the warning, and did not prepare anything even though Valery's father informed them about the attack' Evan thought because he was really confused about how could so many people die even though they knew the dark guild will attack on the city.

"What are you guys talking about?" Sophie asked one of the male hunters who spoke earlier.

"You don't know what happened in the city during the monster tide?" the hunter asked looking at Sophie and others with a raised eyebrow.

"We just come back to the city after dealing with the monsters in the B rank zone, so we don't know what happened" David replied when he heard him.

Hearing David, an understanding look appeared on the face of the hunter and he nodded his head

"No wonder you don't know anything since you just came back," the hunter said and told them everything that he knew.

When Sophie and others heard the dark guild attacked the city they were shocked to the core.

Even also listened carefully since he wanted to know exactly what happened.

'So that's how it is' When the male hunter finished telling them everything Evan can't help but sigh.

'Those bastards attacked the city from all four sides, and acted like suicide bombers to cause large scale destruction' Evan thought while looking at his right side.

According to what the male hunter said earlier, one of the places which were attacked by the dark guild was just ten kilometres away from their current location.

"Even with an S rank hunter guarding the city they were able to cause such a large scale destruction" Mark muttered with a shocked filled expression on his face.

"Should we go there?" Caleb asked even though he was completely exhausted.

Sophie and the others looked at each other before nodding their heads.

"Are you coming?" Mark asked Evan who was still deep in his thoughts.

Hearing Mark, Evan also nodded his head.

Soon all five of them left from there, and proceed to go towards the west side of the city.

While moving, Evan and others saw many other hunters who were also going there.

Most of them were wearing tattered armor or clothes clearly indicating they just came from the battlefield.

Because of the attack, vehicles were prohibited from going there, so all of them were going there on foot.

But since the location was just ten kilometres away, it didn't take long for Sophie and others to reach there.

Many hunters were already present there and were looking at the destroyed area in front of them with complicated expressions.

Because of the explosion, an area of around ten kilometres was completely devastated.

In the area affected by the explosion, there was nothing left except the crumbled buildings. Streets were littered with debris, rubble, and fragments of the former structures.

Sophie and others were even able to see many places stained with blood.

The officials of the hunter association were cleaning the place.

With the help of the hunters who had earth manipulation skill, it was not hard to clear the place, but currently, there were not many people present who had earth manipulation skill.

Most of the hunters were still on the battlefield, moreover, the hunters who just returned from the battlefield were completely exhausted and were not in the condition to do anything.

'This is worse than I thought' Evan muttered inwardly after seeing the completely destroyed area.

Even though people of the hunter association were clearing the area to the best of their abilities, the destroyed area was too big and it will definitely take some time before they will be able to clear it.

Suddenly Evan noticed a hunter found a dead body under the debris while clearing it.

When that hunter took out the dead body, Evan was able to see it was the body of a small girl, who was just around five or six years old.

When he saw her, Evan don't know why but he felt a strange feeling rising within his heart.

He kept looking at her, and after some time he started to feel a severe headache.

'Damn, what is happening now?' Evan thought when he felt the headache he was feeling started to increase.

He looked at Sophie and the others and saw they were looking at the destroyed area with sad explosions on their face.

'I can't endure it anymore' Evan grabbed his head with one of his hands and felt like he will pass out at any moment.

"I am not feeling well, so I will be going back first" Evan sent a message to Sophie through his bracelet and left from there.

When Sophie received his message she raised an eyebrow.

She looked at the place he was standing a moment ago but saw he already left from there.

'What happened to him?' she felt puzzled when she saw he suddenly left without saying anything.

'Maybe he is tired because of fighting against the monsters for so long' Sophie said inwardly and stopped thinking about him.
