Necromancer Of The Shadows

The next day Evan woke up with dark circles under his eyes. Because of nightmares, he wasn't able to sleep properly last night.

Just thinking about those nightmares Evan's whole body shivered.

Too scary!

Trap characters are too scary.

He doesn't even want to recall the dark nightmares he experienced last night.

He looked at the time and saw it was seven O clock in the morning.

Today is the day of the mission.

"There is still three hours before we depart for the monster den" Evan muttered and stood up.

In the details of the mission, it was mentioned that all the hunters who registered for this mission will have to assemble outside of the city before ten o clock.

Before leaving Evan was thinking about absorbing all the cores he had.

Before absorbing the cores he first freshened up and took a good bath to clear his mind.

His mind was still shaken because of the scary nightmares he experienced last night.

While taking the bath Evan thought about buying an armor for himself.

He doesn't have any armor, and it might come in handy during his fight against orcs.

But he wanted to buy an armor that is at least B+ rank.

After he advances his monarch core to C rank, any monster below B rank won't be any problem for him.

If he buy an armor that is below B+ rank it will be completely useless to him after a few days, when he advances to C rank.

But a B+ rank armor is very costly. Even with the credits he got from the terror brothers, he knew he won't be able to buy a B+ rank armor.

'Even though it will most likely waste of money I should buy a C+ rank armor. After I advance to C rank I will just resell it, and will buy a new armor later' Evan thought after debating inside his mind for a long while.

While fighting against orcs there will be a high possibility that he might get injured. During fighting against orcs armor will help him immensely.

After taking the bath Evan sat down on his hotel room bed.

He took out all the cores he has.

After he absorbed some cores to advance his prime core to D+ rank, he now has twelve C rank and three B rank cores left.

He received five B rank cores as a reward from the academy, and one B rank core from Carlos's storage ring.

But he paid three B rank cores as the ticket price for his flight which is why now he had only three B rank cores remaining.

"Let's see if I can get something" Evan muttered and first decided to absorb C rank cores.

Like candy, he popped one C rank core in his mouth.

The core melted in his mouth, and turned into energy. The energy rushed towards his monarch core and started to refine it.

In just a few seconds he fully absorbed the energy from the C rank core.

After finishing his first core he didn't stop, and continued to absorb other C rank cores.

"It tastes like dark chocolate" Evan muttered when he popped a brown colored core in his mouth.

In just a few minutes Evan absorbed all the C rank cores, but he didn't receive any skill.

Even though Evan was disappointed he wasn't surprised by it.

He already expected that it will be hard to get a skill just after absorbing twelve cores.

After he was done absorbing C rank cores, Evan looked at the three B rank cores.

He picked up a purple colored core. Inside the core Evan can see lighting was flickering occasionally.

It was clear this core was thunder core.

"Let's see what absorbing a B rank core feels like" Evan muttered and put the B rank core in his mouth.

He felt a numbing sensation on his tongue when the B rank thunder core melted in his mouth.

A vast amount of energy exploded in his mouth and rushed towards his monarch core.

His monarch core spun faster than before, and started to absorb the energy at rapid speed.

This time it took Evan around thirty seconds to absorb all the energy.

Along with the quantity, even the quality of the energy was higher than the other cores he absorbed till now.

A B rank core contains energy comparable to three C+rank in quantity. But even though the quantity of this energy is similar, the quality of both energy is vastly different.

After absorbing the thunder core Evan was feeling a numbing sensation all over his body.

'I absorbed some thunder cores in the past, but I never felt a numbing sensation like this before' Evan raised an eyebrow when he noticed the numbing sensation.

'Looks like I can't absorb a core that is way higher than the level of my own core or it might harm my body' Evan thought after feeling the numbing sensation, 'I think I should avoid absorbing any core that is above B rank before I advance to next rank'

Evan picked up the second B rank core which was green in color.

This was a wind core that he got from Carlos.

Just like before he popped the core into his mouth. After the core touched his tongue it also turned into energy and rushed towards his monarch core.

Just like how he felt numbing sensation last time, this time he felt something strange flowing inside his body.

The feeling was quite uncomfortable and Evan felt like some insects were moving inside his body.

After feeling this Evan once again confirmed that he should avoid absorbing very high rank cores.

Soon the energy of this B rank core was also completely refined.

Evan felt his strength increase slightly.

Just as Evan absorbed all the energy from the core suddenly a notification appeared before him.

Evan's eyes lit up when he saw the notification.

But the moment he saw what kind of skill he received his eyes almost popped out from their sockets.
