Necromancer Of The Shadows



Evan looked at the rising illusionary golden wall with an awe filled look.

'So this is one of the formations that is absorbing the energy of thousands of cores' Just like other formations, the wall created by this formation was also thirty meters high.

The top of the wall was solid while the rest of the wall was illusionary.

The top of the wall was solid so that the hunters who had classes like mage, and archers can attack on monsters from there.

"No one in our team is a coward who needs to stand at the top of the wall to save his a*s from the monsters, we are going to smash all the monsters in a head on fight," Mark said while smashing his large shield on the ground.

The guardian who is actually a Swordsman was ready to fight.

Evan and Sophie ignored what Mark said and looked around them. Soon hunters with long range attacks, healers and the ones with support classes started to take their positions on the wall.

Caleb was looking around with a strange glint in his eyes. He was looking at hunters with handsome faces and was nodding his head from time to time.

David on the other hand was looking at the top of the wall, thinking he should also go there because people will be able to see his celebrity figure clearly if he stand at the top of the wall.

All In all, they were in a complete mess.

But Evan was not bothered by this because even though they all are somewhat different, he knew they are pretty good when it comes to fighting.

In the last forty hours, they patrolled around the camp two times and Evan was able to see that their teamwork is quite good.

"Monster tide should be here in around three hours," Sophie said while looking at the hunters who were gathering.

Evan nodded his head after hearing her.

Earlier he called Valery to ask about the situation of the city, but she wasn't clear about it.

According to her, her father already informed the authorities about the attack, now it is up to them how they will handle it.

"Well, let's hope they took proper measures to stop the attack" Evan muttered while using shadow senses.

He already released Nerkros, Elysia and Eclipse to go far away from his position and hide somewhere before the monster tide arrive.

He ordered them to mix themselves up in monster tide when it arrives, and kill the monsters sneakily and collect their cores.

When he used shadow senses he saw Elysia and Nekros were in the middle of the B rank zone near a cave.

They were sitting outside the cave and were playing cards.

Evan was speechless when he saw them playing cards.

'Is there a card selling shop in the wildernesses?' he can't help but think because he doesn't know from where they got the cards.

The view of a five meters tall one eyed monster playing cards with a small elf was very strange in his eyes.

'Forget it, it is good they are having fun' Evan thought and ignored them.

He tried to focus on Eclipse and soon his vision changed once again.

Unlike Elysia and Nekros, he gave Eclipse a different mission.

Since Eclipse is good in stealth he asked it to go in the front line in the S rank zone.

He wanted to keep an eye on the front line where the most dangerous battle will take place.

Even though hunters made sufficient preparations he has to be prepared for any kind of situation.

If he doesn't send Eclipse there, he won't be able to get the information about the front line.

What if the S rank monster somehow destroys the formation and comes here.

He sent Eclsipe there so that he can get real time updates on the monster tide, if he saw the front line can't stop the powerful monsters, he will use shadow wings and will run away from here.

It is not that he is a coward or anything, but it will be meaningless for him to fight here once the front line is broken.

He is strong, but it is not like he can fight against the monsters who are A and A+ rank and will come here once the front line is broken.

He released Eclipse a few hours ago and since it has endless stamina it already reached the front line zone and was currently hiding at the top of one of the trees.

Even though Eclipse is just a B rank monster, its stealth skills are pretty good so no one was able to notice it.

The tree it was hiding on was around five kilometres away from the formation of the S rank zone. Eclipse's vision was quite sharp and even though it was five kilometres away from the formation, Evan was still able to clearly see what was happening on the front line through its vision.

'Those two should be S rank hunters' Evan thought when he saw Amanda and Damian hovering high in the sky while the other hunters were looking in front of them with solemn expressions.

'Let's hope nothing goes wrong' Evan thought and stopped using his share senses skill.

Soon all the hunters including Evan and his team also took their positions in the B rank zone.

An A rank hunter was hovering above them to keep everything in check.

Just like this three hours passed by.

Suddenly all the hunters felt something and looked in the far distance.

"It is here," Sophie said softly while taking a deep breath.

Even though the monster tide is still hundreds of kilometres away from them, and just reached the front line, all of them can feel a strong bloodlust from far distance.

'This feeling is completely different from what I felt while fighting against thornblooms in verdant wilds dungeon' Evan thought when he felt the powerful auras of thousands of monsters.

Normally, it would have been very hard to feel the aura of monsters from such a long distance, but because of the large numbers of the monsters, all of them were able to feel their auras from such a long distance.

'Let's see what is happening there' Evan thought and used shadow senses to connect with Eclipse.

Just as he connected with Eclipse, Evan saw the sky in front line suddenly turn dark, and even before he can understand what was happening he lost his connection with Eclipse.
