Necromancer Of The Shadows



"All of you can do whatever you want for today, but remember to gather at the city entrance tomorrow morning," Cole said to all the students after coming out from the airport of the Naphliam city.

They arrived here earlier than Evan expected. He thought they will reach here in two days, but they arrived in less than thirty six hours.

It was already nighttime when they reached the city, so after giving them some general instructions Cole and the other teachers left from there.

All the students of the academy are mature hunters so there was no need for them to keep an eye on them.

Most of the students were tired after the flight so they were not in the mood to travel around the city. Most of them took a taxi and left for a nearby hotel.

Evan also left the airport and took a taxi. But instead of going to a hotel, he asked the driver to take him to a nearby artefact shop first.

After coming to the artefact shop he purchased some storage ring before leaving for a nearby hotel.

After coming to the hotel he booked a room for the night.

Coming to his room he first summoned his four shadow undeads and gave them one storage ring each.

Few days ago, during his training with his shadow undeads, Evan found an interesting fact about them.

Three days ago while sparring with Elysia he accidentally used his mind suppression skill on her.

He never tried to use his mind suppression skill on them before because he always thought it will be useless against them.

Mind suppression is a spiritual skill that directly affects the soul of the target.

And since Elysia and others are undeads he always thought they doesn't have any souls.

But surprisingly when he used mind surpassion on Elysia it worked just like how it works on other people.

He then tried it on Aqua and others and it worked on them as well.

He always thought that his shadow undeads are different from the other undeads he heard about, and after finding out they even have a soul he is now sure they are not normal undead or rather they are not even undead.

All of his shadow undeads can think on their own and they even have their own personalities.

They still act like, just like how they used to act when they were alive. The only difference is that now they are loyal to him and do everything that he says.

It is like, after killing them he captured their souls, created new bodies for them using his shadow energy and placed their souls in these new bodies.

'Instead of calling them undeads, it is better to call them a new race. An undying new race created by me' Evan thought while giving them storage rings.

During monster tide, he can't show all of his undeads to other people. But if he does not use three of his shadow undeads it will be a huge loss for him.

His shadow undeads can kill other monsters and collect cores for him, and merit points for him.

This is why he was thinking about releasing three of his shadow undeads in a different area than him.

He will keep one of his shadow undead with him, and ask the other three to kill monsters in different areas and collect their cores.

He was giving them storage rings so they can store cores in them after killing monsters.

Normally it is impossible for undeads to use storage rings.

There are two methods to bind a storage ring with you.

First is to use a drop of your blood. Even if you are using this method you still need to have a little bit of spiritual power, because without spiritual power you won't be able to put or take out anything from your storage ring.

The second method is to use your spiritual power without using blood. Normally no one uses this method because if you bind the storage ring using your spiritual power, you will receive a backlash if someone forcefully erases your mark on the storage ring.

His shadow undeads can't use the first method since they don't have blood, but since they have spiritual power they can bind the storage rings using the second method.

After giving them storage rings Evan instructed them how to bind it with them.

Elysia was easily able to bind the ring without any problem, but it took some time for Aqua and others to bind the storage ring.

After binding the ring he taught them how to use the ring which they learned pretty easily.

"I think I will keep Aqua with me during the tide, and let others hunt the monsters on their own" Evan muttered after they learned how to use the storage ring.

He chose Aqua because it is not eye catching like Nekros who is five metres tall or beautiful like Elysia.

Aqua is the only one who will not attract too much attention. He can't show Eclipse because he told Edward that he can summon a B+ rank monster, and Eclipse is still a B rank monster.

"By the way, do you guys feel like you are trapped in your body or anything like that?" Evan asked his shadow undeads because after knowing they have souls he thought their souls might be trapped in the bodies that he created using shadow energy.

Hearing Evan Aqua and others were confused but they still shook their heads. According to them, they don't feel anything like that.

"Well, that is good then" Evan said and summoned them back into his shadow storage.

After summoning them back he went to sleep because he was also tired after the flight.

The next day, early morning he left the hotel and grabbed a taxi to go to the city gate just as Cole told them.

The city gate was not far away from the hotel and in just one hour he arrived there.
