Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 637 What Is This Place?

The one thousand kilometre area around the Tower of Ascension is a special place. This thousand kilometer expanse is filled with the strange power of the Tower Of Ascension that allows only S rankers to move forward.... And once an S ranker enters the area filled with the power of the Tower Of Ascension, he or she will not be able to come back from that area. In other words, once an S ranker enters within a thousand kilometres of the area of the Tower Of Ascension, his only options would be to either enter the Tower of Ascension and go to Utopia or remain in the area filled with the power of the Tower of Ascension until he dies.

Not much is known about what is in the area of ​​a thousand kilometres around the Tower of Ascension because this area is filled with a magic fog and everyone who enters this area never comes back.

"According to Sebastian, other than humans, Monsters who reached S Rank can also use the tower of ascension so there is a possibility that I will have to face a bunch of S rank monsters here," Evan muttered and stopped flying forward when he noticed an area filled with fog in front of him.

"So this is the magical fog Sebastian told me about," Evan muttered after stopping, and tried to probe the foggy area using his spiritual senses... And not to his surprise, he couldn't scan the area filled with the fog using his spiritual senses.

"In addition to telling me about the monsters, Sebastian also said that within this foggy area, there may be a small town built by S Rankers who did not use the Tower of Ascension after entering this area and decided to stay here instead," Evan said and took a deep breath.

'If there really is a town inside this foggy area then I can get some information from there about what I will have to face after entering the Tower of Ascension' He thought inwardly and finally took a step forward, entering the area filled with the fog.

The moment Evan entered the fog filled area, he felt the world around him spin for a moment and...

Thud!

He fell face first to the ground.

"Damn it," Evan cursed in a low voice and tried to stand up. But even after standing up, his head continued to spin for a few more seconds and he couldn't focus on anything.

Around ten seconds later, Evan finally regained his senses and looked around him.

When he looked around him, Evan saw he was in a lush green forest that was filled with life. Colourful flowers, giant trees and different kinds of plants were growing everywhere and he could even detect the aura of a few low level monsters who ranged from F rank to E+ rank.

"What is this place?" Evan muttered in confusion and looked behind him. When he looked behind, Evan didn't see the foggy area instead he saw the same forest that was in front of him.

Soon Evan noticed another thing and his expression once again changed.

"The surroundings here are filled with World Essence instead of Mana," He muttered in a shocked voice. "Don't tell me I am already in Utopia."

After finding his surroundings were filled with World Essence, Evan scanned his body but noticed his mana was not changing into the World Essence.

"Am I really in Utopia?" After seeing that his mana was not turning into the world essence, he asked himself in a confused tone and used the shadow wings to take to the blue sky so that he could see across the forest.

Woosh!

Like a bullet, he tore through the forest and arrived high in the sky. After arriving high in the sky, Evan finally received his answer.

"So I am not in Utopia, huh," He said in a low voice when he saw a giant black tower a few hundred kilometres away from him.

The tower was piercing through the sky and even though Evan was far away from it, he could still feel a strange power that the Tower was emitting from time to time.

"Since I can still see the Tower Of Ascension then this means it is not Utopia," Evan said to himself and scratched the back of his head. "If this is not Utopia then what is this place?"

Suddenly Evan felt something and looked around him with narrowed eyes.

'Why do I feel like someone is watching me?'

He used his spiritual senses to scan his surroundings, but Evan did not find anyone even after scanning his surroundings.

Although Evan did not find anyone, he could still feel that someone was looking at him.

'Since I can't find this person then it means he or she is far stronger than me' Evan's expression turned serious when he realized this and he started to fly away from there using his agility.

But even after flying for ten minutes, Evan could still feel the same gaze on him.

"Hey stalker, if you have something to say then come out and say it. Stop acting like a coward," Evan stopped when he wasn't able to get rid of the person who was looking at him and shouted in a cold voice.

He waited for a few minutes after calling out the person but even after five minutes, no one showed up.

"Damn it, what the hell this stalker wants?" Evan said in a frustrated voice when the person who was looking at him didn't show up in front of him. He used his spiritual senses once again and tried his best to find the person who was looking at him.

After using his spiritual senses again and again, Evan finally noticed something and his expression turned strange.

'Why do I feel like this person is looking at me but at the same time not looking at me' He said to himself with a confused look on his face.

Just as Evan was going mad because of not being able to understand what was happening, something clicked in his mind.

'Looking at me but not looking at me...' Evan muttered inwardly and thought about his shadow undeads.

'Could it be this person can sense my shadow undeads who are inside my shadow storage' Evan thought and his expression turned even more serious.

'If this person can even detect my shadow undeads then he is definitely not a normal person'

Evan looked inside his shadow storage to see if there was anything wrong there. On the first look, he didn't find anything wrong with his shadow storage, but suddenly he noticed Hana was behaving strangely. Through his connection with her, he could feel she was becoming restless for some reason.

'What's wrong with her' Evan immediately took out Hana from his shadow storage to check what was wrong with her, but to his surprise, the moment he took out Hana from the shadow storage, the gaze he was feeling on him disappeared. Instead, now he could feel that gaze was locked on Hana.

Before Evan could understand what was happening, Hana went back into his shadow storage on her own like she was trying to hide herself from something and the gaze that he had been feeling all this time finally disappeared.

"What the fu*k is going on here?" Evan was completely stunned because of the strange thing that just happened and looked at Hana once again. When he looked at her, Evan noticed she wasn't feeling restless anymore and was sitting inside his shadow storage with a relaxed look on her face.

'Is Hana somehow related to this place?' Evan couldn't help but think after seeing what just happened. He still didn't know many things about Hana. Her powerful psychic abilities and the fact that he couldn't see her skills even using the second effect of the Growth Link skill... There were too many strange things about her.

'I will talk to Hana later. For now, I should get out of here before that stalker comes back' Evan thought and flew In the direction of the Tower Of Ascension.

Evan continued to fly for one and a half hours, but even after flying for one and a half hours, he was not able to reach the Tower Of Ascension.

'Damn it, from the distance it looks like the tower is just a few hundred kilometres away, but in reality, it is a few thousand kilometres away' Evan cursed inwardly and flapped his wings with even more speed. Suddenly, he noticed something and stopped flying forward.

"So there is really a city in this place," Evan said after stopping as he looked at a giant city in front of him.
