Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 488 Bet (Part 2)

Evan, Sebastian and Nathan landed at the top of the mountain where Eclipse was hidden. It was already night time and the only sources of light in the wilderness were the stars and the moon.

After landing, all three of them retracted their aura and looked at the monster army in front of them. Although it was nighttime, they could clearly see the large monster army that was stationed some distance away from the bottom of the mountain.

Evan's expression remained indifferent and there was an excited glint in his eyes as he looked at the hundreds of thousands of monsters.

ROAR!

HOWL!

GRRR!

Different types of monster sounds were echoing throughout the wilderness making the night atmosphere of the wilderness quite eerie.

With just a single glance, he noticed flame lions, wind wolves, orcs, goblins and many different types of monsters.

He looked sideways and noticed Nathan's and Sebastian's expressions were quite serious

Although Evan already told them about the number of monsters, they were still quite shocked after seeing so many monsters.

They looked at the titan elephant and the stone buffalo at the back of the army one last time before looking at Evan.

'So... what's your plan?' Sebastian asked using telepathy to not alert the monsters.

Evan wore the whispering earring and told Sebastian to wait for a minute.

He controlled his auditory senses and focused on the titan elephant and the stone buffalo who were at the back of the army.

"I knew it, we shouldn't have trusted that human" Just as Evan focused his auditory senses on them, he heard the heavy voice of stone buffalo.

Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard the stone buffalo and his ears perked up.

"There is no point in talking about this matter now. We will return to our territory tomorrow" the titan elephant said in a cold voice. Just by hearing its voice, Evan could tell the elephant was quite angry.

"It was not easy for us to gather so many monsters and bring them here without alerting anyone and now that bastard.." Stone Buffalo said in an anger-filled voice and red smoke came out from its stony nose.

Titan Elephant didn't say anything and remained silent after hearing The Stone Buffalo.

'So they are planning to go back tomorrow' Evan was surprised when he heard the conversation between the two, but soon a cold smile appeared on his face. 'Too bad they will never be able to go back now.'

Evan stopped controlling his auditory senses and finally looked at Sebastian and Nathan.

Using the telepathy skill of the earring, he told them about the conversation that he just heard.

'So there is really a human who is working with them' Sebastian said when Evan told them about their conversation.

'Since they are planning to leave tomorrow, there is no need for us to attack them, right?' suddenly Nathan said.

'What are you talking about old man' Evan rolled his eyes when he heard Nathan, 'Although they are planning to leave, there is a very high chance they will try to attack other human cities in the future. Since that's the case why don't we just wipe them out'

Nathan looked at Evan for a few seconds before sighing inwardly, 'So what is your plan?'

Evan smiled when he heard Nathan.

He looked at the monster army and many ideas flashed inside his mind.

He had many ways to deal with the monsters and he was thinking about which method he should use.

Although the number of monsters in the army was nothing when compared to the number of spiders that he killed earlier, the individual strength of these monsters was higher than the spiders.

A single B rank monster could easily fight against at least three B rank spiders.

After a few seconds, he finally decided how he wanted to deal with them and looked at the titan elephant at the back.

'Guild master Sebastian' suddenly Evan said in a warm voice.

Sebastian felt a chill running down his spine and he looked at Evan with a vigilant expression.

'What?' He asked in a doubtful voice and was ready to use his defence skill at any moment.

Evan's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he saw Sebastian's vigilant expression. But he decided to ignore it and get to the main point.

'Guild master Sebastian, do you want to make a bet with me?'

The wariness in Sebastian's heart reached its peak and he asked in a cautious voice, 'What kind of bet?'

'I will face the titan elephant and you will face the stone buffalo. The person who kills his opponent first will be the winner' Evan said with a smile on his face.

Sebastian frowned and was about to say something when Evan once again said, 'You don't have to worry about the monster army. I can guarantee that they will not be able to interfere in your fight against the stone buffalo.'

Sebastian was stunned when he heard Evan.

Nathan didn't say anything hearing their conversation and decided to stay silent.

'What will I get if I kill the stone buffalo before you?' After a moment of consideration, Sebastian asked.

Evan's lips curled upward when he heard Sebastian. He looked inside his shadow storage and took out an apple sized golden coloured fruit.

'I will give you this if you win the bet' Evan said while showing the golden fruit.

Sebastian touched the fruit and its details appeared in front of his eyes. Just as he read the details of the fruits, his eyes opened wide.

'This_' Sebastian was lost for words and a look of desire flashed inside his eyes after reading the details of the fruit.

Nathan raised an eyebrow when he saw Sebastian's shocked expression, he also touched the fruit to see its details and the next second his eyes also opened wide.

The fruit that Evan took out was the 'Mana Affinity' fruit that he got in the Verdant Wilds Dungeon.

---)Mana Affinity Fruit:- A rare fruit that grows only in places rich in mana. After eating the fruit, your mana consumption for all skills will be reduced by 10 percent and your mana recovery speed will be increased by 50 percent permanently. The effects of mana affinity fruit can't be stacked.

"I accept your bet" Sebastian was so excited after seeing the details of the fruit that he didn't even ask what Evan wanted from him if he lost and directly accepted his bet.

'Shh' Evan made a silent gesture when he saw instead of using telepathy Sebastian used his mouth to speak.

Sebastian also realized his mistake and looked at the monster army. After seeing no one noticed them he sighed in relief.

'By the way, what if I lose?' after his initial excitement calmed down, Sebastian finally realized his earlier mistake and asked.

'Nothing much, I just need an S rank armour. I don't think the value of mana affinity fruit is lower than an S rank artefact' Evan said and looked at Sebastian's expressions.

'Alright,' Sebastian immediately agreed without wasting any time.

Evan was stunned for a moment when he saw Sebastian agree without any second thought.

But he soon smiled and nodded his head.

'Free S rank armour acquired' Evan shouted inside his mind and looked at the monster army, ready to initiate his plan.
