Necromancer Of The Shadows

Sun started to rise from the east, as Evan made his way toward the location of the orc den.

It was already the next day and Evan decided to stop thinking about his soul problem for the time being.

"If I try my best I should be able to gather enough core to advance to C rank, at the end of this mission," Evan said to himself and an excited glim passed through his eyes.

Just thinking about what will happen after his monarch core will reach the C rank made his heart beat wildly.

He wanted to know whether he will receive a class or not after his monarch core reaches to C rank.

It was like he purchased a lottery ticket and now he is waiting for its result.

Yesterday Evan hunted monsters till late night. Because of his night vision, it was no problem for him to hunt monsters during the night.

But he did not hunt all night since he knew it will not good for him if is not in perfect condition during the orc den mission.

While going back Evan saw some other hunters who were also going towards the orc den.

He wasn't surprised when he saw them because he can guess, just like him they also went to hunt monsters after receiving the message from Aaron.

He even saw some hunters fighting against each other, but he didn't bother himself with them and continued to move toward the orc den.

After three hours, when it was around nine in the morning Evan reached at the location of the orc den.

In the message, Aaron told them to come here before 10.00 A.M.

When Evan arrived there, he was able to hear some strange roar coming from the mountain range, which was not far away from his location.

'So the orc den is located in that mountain range' Evan thought when he heard strange sounds coming from that direction.

When Evan arrived there he saw most of the hunters were already there.

He estimated there were around 350 hunters present.

He also saw many tents in the vicinity and guessed some hunters didn't go to hunt monsters yesterday, and came here even after receiving Aaron's message.

After looking around for some time Evan climbed up a tree and sat down there.

After sitting down when Evan once again looked in the direction of the orc den, he saw two people who were hovering in the sky there.

When Evan saw those two people he easily recognized them because of the armor they were wearing.

One was wearing black armor while the other one was wearing white armor.

'What are they doing there?' Evan thought curiously when he saw Aaron and Austin were looking into the deeper location of the orc den with serious faces, 'That busty beauty is not with them' Evan thought when he saw Layla was not with them.

"And it's done," Layla said while standing up.

She was standing in the middle of a giant formation, and was looking at it with a satisfied expression on her face.

After the formation was completed she took out a strange looking round plate from her storage ring.

The plate was covered in different kinds of runes, and was ten centimeters wide in diameter.

She placed the plate in the center of the formation, and poured some mana into it.

When she poured mana into the plate, all the runes on the plate lit up.

Just as the runes on the plate lit up, the formation that Layla created also lit up with white color.

After a few seconds, the light around the plate and the formation started to fade away.

But along with light the formation and plate also started to disappear.

In just a few seconds the giant formation that Layla created disappeared along with the strange plate.

After the formation disappear Layla flew up in the air and came beside Aaron and Austin.

"You connected the formation core?" Aaron asked when Layla came back.

"Yeah, the core is connected, now it should be able to weaken that orc if we fought against it here" Layla nodded and said.

"I was afraid those orcs will sense what we were doing and will attack on us first, luckily they didn't try anything. Now we have a higher chance of clearing this den" Austin said while looking deep within the orc den where he can feel the powerful aura of A rank orcs.

"By the way, is there anything that we should pay attention to while fighting against those orcs in formation," Aaron asked while looking at the place where the formation was visible a moment ago.

"There is nothing much. We used many cores to supply energy to the formation so there is no need to worry about that it will run out of energy. But just like other formations, its weakness is also the core of the formation. If the core is destroyed the formation will also collapse"

"But the chances of something like this happening is very low. There is a barrier around the core that will protect it, and it is also invisible, so there is no way those orcs will be able to do anything to the formation core" Layla said in a confidence filled voice after hearing Aaron.

"Then we can start now, right?" Austin asked looking at the orc den with eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Wait for some time, there is still some time before 10.00 A.M., beside Layla also needs to recover some of her energy that she used to install the core," Aaron said when he looked heard Austin.

Aaron and others waited for some time after they were done with their preparations.

When it was 10.00 A.M. all of them flew towards the location where hunters were gathering.

When they arrived there they saw the number of hunters already exceed the 350 mark.

When they saw this they were quite satisfied. They were confident that with this number they will be able to clear the orc den.

After looking at the hunters for a moment, Aaron finally opened his mouth and told them about the latest situation of the orc den.
