Necromancer Of The Shadows

(Successfully harvested the soul of a Rank Two mid-level monster)

(Your World Essence has increased by 30 points)

Two notifications flashed in front of Evan's eyes, making him nod his head in satisfaction.

"It's a pity I can't turn mid level Rank Two monsters into shadow undeads; otherwise..." He muttered, looking at the dead mid level Rank Two sheep. He turned around and saw Cedar had also killed the second mid level wind and lightning sheep.

After killing the sheep, Cedar walked towards Evan with his mouth agape and asked in a shocked voice, "How did you kill those ten sheep so quickly?"

Evan had to kill ten Beginner Level Rank Two sheep, meanwhile, he had to kill two sheep.

Earlier, Cedar thought he would assist Evan in killing the Beginner Level sheep after dealing with the mid level ones. But Evan finished the ten Beginner Level sheep in a matter of seconds and even came here to finish off his targets.

Evan smiled helplessly hearing Cedar and did not know what to say. The reason he was able to kill the Beginner Level sheep so quickly was all because of the Fear skill. Once the wind and lightning sheep saw the true form of his soul, they did not even dare to look at him, and he easily dispatched them.

Seeing Evan was not saying anything, Cedar shook his head and looked at the mid level sheep Evan killed. "Do you want to hunt more monsters?"

"No," Evan replied when he heard Cedar, as he had already achieved his goal of increasing his stat points and creating some Rank Two Shadow Undeads. If he decided to hunt more monsters, it would take them a few hours to find a perfect group of monsters, and by then, the duration of his Shadow Possession and Reaper's Wrath skills would end.

Without the Shadow Possession skill, it will be difficult for him to face a group of Beginner Level Rank Two monsters. Moreover, now that he had seven Rank Two shadow undeads, he was considering going back to focus on his conceptual energy so that he could create his domain.

Hearing Evan, Cedar put away the bodies of the mid level Rank Two sheep inside his storage ring. "Since that's the case, should we go back?" He asked after putting away the bodies.

Evan nodded in agreement hearing Cedar, as he was also thinking about returning.

Seeing Evan nodding, Cedar took out a small silver coloured paper from his storage ring. The paper was engraved with a rune, emitting strange power fluctuations.

When Evan saw the paper and the rune, he remembered the Rune paper that Cedar had used in order to enter the closed world after returning to the Dark Forest. Similar to before, Cedar affixed the Rune paper to a tree, and the tree started to glow with a silver light. In just a few seconds, a portal manifested in the middle of the tree.

Once the portal manifested, Cedar was the first to enter. Evan followed after Cedar and he also entered the portal.

The moment Evan entered the portal, it started to close. As the portal was closing, the two vampires who were looking for Evan and Cedar appeared there.

They were still searching for them and, after sensing the battle, they came here to take a look.

When the vampires saw the closing portal, both of them were stunned. They didn't know where the portal was leading, but they still moved towards it the moment they saw it and tried to enter inside.

Unfortunately for them, just before they could enter the portal, it closed, and the Rune Paper that Cedar used to open the portal turned into dust.

"What was that portal?" The silver haired vampire asked with a frown on his face once the portal disappeared.

"I think it was the entrance to a secret realm," The black haired vampire said uncertainly as he looked at the tree in front of him.

"Secret Realm..." The face of the silver haired vampire turned serious upon hearing the black haired vampire, and he scanned the tree using his spiritual senses. After a moment, he stopped using his spiritual senses and shook his head.

"I can't find anything..." He said, looking at the tree with a look of confusion on his face. If he hadn't seen the portal with his own eyes just a moment ago, he wouldn't have believed that there was something wrong with the tree.

The black haired vampire was also confused because similar to the silver haired vampire, he was not able to find anything. He looked around and after seeing the traces of battle, he narrowed his eyes.

"There are traces of battle here but there are no dead bodies, nor did we see anyone escaping from here."

The eyes of the silver haired vampire opened wide when he heard this, and he looked at the tree with a shocked expression.

"You mean whoever was fighting here entered the secret realm before we came here?"

The black haired vampire nodded his head and added after a moment, "Not only that, there is a possibility that the portal we saw earlier was actually opened by the person who fought here."

Evan could not help but smile after seeing his stat points and nodded in satisfaction. After looking at his stat points for a moment, he examined his current understanding of void energy and contemplated his next plan.

'There is still more than one month before the Tomb of Ancients opens. I am still quite far away from creating my own domain, but I might be able to do something using the law formation...' Evan thought inwardly and closed his status window.

The next day, Cedar brought Evan to the central hall where the law formation was located. The central hall was situated at the main settlement of the Drayds, so when Evan arrived there, he saw many other Drayds besides Cedar.

Similar to Cedar, most of the Drayds had long hair and bark like patterns on their skin. At first, Evan thought he would receive some strange looks from the Drayds because of his elf like appearance, but to his surprise, no one looked at him weirdly. Most of the Drayds just regarded him with a curious expression, but none of them started a problem with him because of his appearance.

'I think Sylvan and Cedar had already told them about me...' Evan thought inwardly when he noticed that no one bothered him.

Soon, Cedar brought him in front of a large building.

"There are ten rooms inside this building, and all of them are under the effect of the Enlightenment Stone," Cedar explained as he walked inside the building. "Eight of the ten rooms are currently occupied, but two rooms are permanently reserved for two of us since we were the ones who brought the Enlightenment Stone."

Cedar stopped in front of a closed room and looked at Evan. "Inject your world essence inside the door," He explained. "The door will register the signature of your world essence; this way, no one other than you will be able to open the door and disturb you."

Evan followed Cedar's instructions, placing his hand on the room door and injecting his world essence into it. As he did so, the door of the room opened.

"How long are you planning to stay here?" Cedar asked once the door opened.

"Around one month..." Evan said as he glanced inside the room and noticed there was only a mat inside.

"One month, huh..." Cedar pondered for a moment upon hearing Evan's response, then nodded. "...I will also stay in the law room for the next month. I am very close to making a breakthrough in my zone. If I succeed, I might be able to reach the peak of Rank Two before the opening of the Tomb of the Ancient."

"The peak of Rank Two..." Evan was surprised upon hearing Cedar, but soon he smiled and nodded. "Good luck. Let's go for another hunt after coming out."

Cedar's mouth twitched when he heard Evan, but he still nodded his head and left. Evan closed the door once Cedar left.

As soon as he closed the door, Evan felt his mind enter a state of calm, and he could feel the laws of the world more clearly.

"So this is the effect of the law formation..." Evan muttered in a low voice after feeling the effect of the law formation and sat down on the mat. "I might really be able to turn 25% of my world essence into the conceptual energy of void in a month here."

Evan closed his eyes and used the second skill that he had comprehended using the void energy.

His spiritual senses penetrated the space barrier and entered the void. Soon, the mysteries of the Void started to flow into his mind, and he tried his best to understand them.

Time continued to flow, and before Evan knew it, a month had passed in the blink of an eye.
