Necromancer Of The Shadows

Just as the horned Ice wolf died the buff that it gave to the other wolves also ended and they once again became normal C rank ice wolves.

The remaining two ice wolves suddenly felt their power decreasing and were taken aback.

Valery who was fighting against them didn't miss the chance and many icicles formed around her.

The icicles shot toward the ice wolves splitting apart the surrounding air.

Swish! Swish!

Both ice wolves tried to stop the icicle using ice walls, but without the buff of the horned Ice wolf, their ice walls shattered like fragile glass when icicles clashed against them.

Howl!!!

Both wolves howled in pain as their bodies were pierced by tens of icicles turning them into meat skewers.

Red blood painted the white ground of the forest and the life force of the both wolves disappeared.

Valery sighed in relief and quickly started to look for cores before more monsters arrive.

Evan was doing the same. He looked for the cores in the bodies of the three wolves he killed, but his face turned sore when he didn't find any cores.

'Damm it, my C rank luck is definitely a scam' Evan cursed his luck and looked at Valery.

But when he saw Valery who was holding two cores his eyes lit up and he walked towards her.

Valery was looking at two cores in her hand with a smile. Her luck turned out to be quite good and she found two cores from the ice wolves she killed.

She was about to put away the cores into her storage ring when she heard the sound of footsteps.

Valery turned around only to see Evan extending his hand before her like a money collector and looking at the cores in her hand.

The smile on Valery's face froze and she finally remembered she has to give 50% of her cores to Evan. She looked at Evan's face who was currently looking like a money collector who is asking for protection fees and her mouth twitched.

"I am glad you got two cores, I did not get anything this time," Evan said still keeping his hand before her.

"You are glad huh" Valery muttered with a strained smile and put one of the cores into Evan's hand.

"Um, I am very glad," Evan said once again and put away the core into his storage ring.

"Let's leave now. I am sure many monsters will be coming here after smelling the blood" Evan said and started to walk away.

With a sour face, Valery put away the core into her storage ring and followed after him.

*****

Three hours later...

Roar!!!

A two-and-a-half meters tall white bear roared and looked at Evan with deep hatred.

"Took a deep breath and calmed down big boss, it is not like I killed your children in front of you that you are roaring like a mad... bear," Evan said and showed his most charming smile.

Valery who was fighting against three hyena types monsters some distance away just looked at him blankly when she heard him.

She looked behind him where two white bears who were one and a half meters tall were laying with broken bones and teeth. Their eyes were shut tightly seemingly unconscious, and their bodies were shaking from time to time like they were going through a nightmare.

"Look they are still alive I was just playing with them," Evan said when he saw the bodies of both bear shaking from time to time.

Roar!!!

Seeing the condition of the two small bears the white bear once again roared and its eyes turned blood red.

The temperature around it dropped to another degree and it charged toward Evan.

Seeing the angry bear Evan grinned and he also shot toward it. He used mana reinforcement and felt his power surge.

Evan and the white bear arrived before each other in an instant. The white bear used its giant claw and smashed it on Evan like a hammer.

The air was split apart and the ground quack as the giant claw of the bear descended toward Evan. Feeling the power of the bear's attack Evan did not back down.

The mana gather around his fist and he met with the claw of the bear with his own punch.

Boooommmm!!!

A thundering explosion happen as the ground around them shook. Ice shards flew everywhere and Shockwaves swept twenty meters area around them.

After the clash both bear and Evan were evenly matched and no one was pushed back. The white bear was shocked because it did not expect the two-legged animal in front of it to be this strong.

Evan was also surprised that the physical strength of this white bear reached at C+ rank.

But when he remembered this bear is similar to that horned wolf and is not a regular C rank monster he think it was normal.

Roar!!!

The bear roared and was even more angry when a small two-legged animal stopped it attack easily. The bear used its second claw and swept it toward the head of Evan.

Evan ducked down to dodge the claw as he felt violent force going past his head. After ducking down Evan punched at the wide-open stomach of the bear.

Boooommm!

A booming sound echoed out as Evan pushed out all air from the bear's belly.

The bear slid backward a little and its eyes opened wide because of pain. Evan closely followed the bear and tried to punch it right at the same place once again.

But just as his punch was about to land an icy layer covered its stomach and his punch landed on it.

Booooommm!

The icy layer was shattered but more than half of his fist force disappeared, and the bear didn't receive any heavy damage.

Seeing the bear block his attack Evan tried to back away, but the bear acted fast and swung both of its arms in one swift moment, and embraced him before lifting him from the ground.

"Argh!" Evan growled as the bear tighten its grip around his body.

Evan tried to free himself, but his strength was similar to bear so he wasn't able to free himself.

"Dammed bear let me go or you will regret it," Evan said in a painful voice as he felt his body was being crushed.

But hearing Evan the bear used even more power and like that was not enough it even showed him a mocking smile.

Seeing the mocking smile of the bear black lines appeared on Evan's forehead, "mothrfu*ker" you will regret it"

Evan said and stopped using mana reinforcement!
