Necromancer Of The Shadows

After the match ended Leon said goodbye to Valery and left the arena. After leaving the arena Leon went towards his room in the academy where he rarely visits.

Leon is a C+ rank hunter so he rarely stays in the academy and spent most of his time outside doing different kinds of missions, or clearing dungeons to gather resources for himself.

The rules of the academy will be quite lax on you after you become a C rank hunter.

Unlike other students who will have to attend classes if they are not doing a mission or have an emergency, you don't need to bother about these things after reaching C rank.

You will be allowed to skip classes since they also knew there is very little a C rank hunter can gain after going into classes.

But this thing is only limited to the students who reached the C rank. And it is not easy to reach C rank while you are still attending the academy.

You can attend the academy for only four years, and reaching at C rank in four years is very hard.

Unlike Evan who doesn't need to worry about making his foundation unstable because of his monarch core, other people can't evolve their cores continuously without stabilizing it after they advance to the next stage. (read chapter 37 for more details)

If they continue to advance using cores, without stabilizing their foundation it will be very hard for them to advance to the next stage In the future.

While going back when people saw Leon they nodded toward him, since he is one of the students who reached at C+ rank just like Valery.

Leon also nodded at them and continue to walk toward his room.

After five minutes of walking, he arrived at his room which was clearly much better than Evan's room.

After arriving In his room the calm face of Leon completely crumbled and started to pace back and forth.

"Even though I won't be going with her I will have to inform him" Leon mumbled and after some hesitation took out his phone.

Leon dialed a number and called on it.

"What is it this time Leon, don't tell me you once again failed" soon the call was connected and Leon heard a lazy voice of a male.

Leon took a deep breath after hearing the voice and said, "she rejected the offer that you told me to make while offering the deal."

There was no reply after Leon said that, but he didn't say anything else.

"That's quite unexpected" after a minute Leon once again heard the voice, "did you ask for more than one-fourth ice heart flower?"

"No" Leon instantly denied, "I just asked for one-fourth flower just like how you asked me. At first, she didn't reject and said she will think about it, but today when I asked her she rejected my offer"

"It is strange, she only needs half of the ice heart flower for the potion she wants to make. She should have agreed and let you come with her after hearing that offer but looks like she found someone who is more capable than you, and that person doesn't ask for ice heart flower. "

"I also think she found someone else, I already told you I should ask for money in return for helping her that way she would not have rejected me and I would have easily completed the mission, but you said to ask for that ice heart flower that is no use for any of us"

"You are naive Leon if you think she would not have suspected you if you asked for money. Do you think she is stupid?"

"She already know you don't need money since you can easily earn it as a C+ rank hunter. We tried In the past but failed to capture her, if you go there and offer her your help while asking for money, do you really think she will not suspect you."

"The best choice was to ask for one-fourth portion of the flower since you can say someone you know needs that flower and you are helping her so she can give you one-fourth portion of the flower" when Leon heard what the man said he understood why he asked him to ask for flower instead of money.

"But what should I do now? I can't go to the dungeon with her and do what you told me to do.

"Forget about it, just find out when she will be going to the dungeon I will personally take care of this matter."

*******

Evan sat on the bed with a serious expression on his face looking at his hand.

In his hand, Evan was holding a black core.

The black core was naturally the core of the black ogre that he got a few days ago.

Because of his serious expression and handsome face, Evan was looking quite attractive, but as soon as he opened his mouth that attractive image was completely ruined.

"O! goddess of luck bless this humble one. I will search for your temple and donate one million credits there if I get the skill that I want"

If other people who know more about Arora world hear what Evan just said they will immediately understand Evan is trying to scam goddesses of luck.

How?

Because there is no temple of the goddess of luck in the Arora world.

Evan also knew there is no temple of the goddess of luck in the Arora world.

Just to make sure he even checked it on the Internet and wasted ten minutes to look for the temple of the goddess of luck, but the search results showed there is no temple of the goddess of luck in Arora world.

Only after confirming there is no temple of the goddess of luck in Arora world did Evan dare to pray like this.

Since there is no temple of the goddess of luck he will not have to donate his money. During prayer, he said he will search for her temple and donate one million credits.

He will search for that temple till the moment he will die.

Did Evan think the goddess of luck is a mentality retard and will not understand what he is thinking?

Yes, he thought the goddess of luck is a retard.

Why?

He is a hopeful youth and can think of anything he wants that makes him happy. Does he need to explain everything that he thinks?

After praying for one more minute Evan was ready to absorb the first core of the black ogre.

He opened his mouth and with a hopeful look put the core inside his mouth.

Like usual, the core startled to melt and turned into energy that rushed towards his monarch core.

When the energy arrived near his monarch core it started to rotate a little faster and absorbed the energy.

In just a few seconds the whole energy of the D+ rank core was absorbed by his monarch core. Although Evan already knew it, he was still surprised when his monarch core instantly absorbed all energy of the D+ rank.

He knew if he tried to absorb the energy of the D+ rank core through his prime core it will take him a few minutes to absorb it completely.

Evan waited in anticipation to see if he get the skill.

Time continues to pass but there was no notification indicating him that he got a new skill.

"Looks like there is nothing" Evan muttered and sighed.

After sighing, Evan took out the second core of the black ogre and once again prayed just like last time.

He was still hoping to get the skill.

Evan once again popped the core inside his mouth and it once again turned into energy.

The energy rushed towards his monarch core and was absorbed by it. Evan's heart started to beat like a drum and he looked at his status window with hopeful eyes.

But when even after three seconds he did not get any notification he once again sighed.

'Looks like the goddess of luck is not retard' Evan thought when he didn't get the skill.

Just as Evan was about to close his status window a notification appeared on it.

(You have received the skill 'Devourer')

Evan read the notifications and blinked a few times. Then he once again read the notification and the first emotion he felt was

PRIDE!

Pride! because he was right about the goddess of luck.

She is really a retard and answered his prayer by giving him the skill he wanted the most.

"Don't worry goddess of luck since you give me the skill that I wanted I will definitely search for your temple" Evan said out loud and looked at the details of the skill with a big smile on his face.

---) Devourer :-???? (the skill is not compatible with the human body and can't be used by you)

Evan???

Evan's mind went blank like it was short-circuited and he just looked at the status window with the same big smile plastered on his face.
