"So, brother demon, why isn't anyone attacking the barrier?" Evan inquired calmly, appearing behind one of the peak Rank One extreme demons.
"Eek!" The demon screamed like a little girl and jumped away when Evan suddenly appeared behind him.
"You—you stay away from me," the demon shouted in a frightened voice, afraid that Evan would punch him to death as well.
Evan smiled kindly when he saw the frightened look on the demon's face and spoke in a low voice as if he were coaxing a child.
"Now, now, little demon, you don't have to be afraid of me. I am not a beast here to eat you. Just tell me why no one is attacking the barrier, and I will leave you alone."
The peak Rank One demon gulped down his saliva when he saw Evan's smile because he could feel that if he didn't speak, his fate would be the same as the earlier demon.
"This barrier has reflective properties..." Before the demon could start explaining, Evan heard a female voice and saw a woman in a fiery red dress walking towards him. The woman had shoulder-length black hair, deep blue eyes, and a star mark at the centre of her forehead.
The aura around her indicated that she was a peak Rank Two Core Evolver, the second person whose aura Evan had sensed along with Voidscar earlier.
"Reflective properties?" Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard the woman and looked at her with a questioning gaze.

If our attack is not strong enough, the barrier will simply reflect it and remain undamaged," Blaze explained as she stopped some distance away from Evan. "We are currently not attacking it because we are waiting for more people to come here so that we can combine our power and break it in a single attack."
A look of realization flashed on Evan's face hearing Blaze and he nodded his head. "So that's how it is, huh."
"If we want to break the barrier in a single attack, we still need at least two or three more Beginner Level Rank Two Core Evolvers..." Blaze said with a smile on her face. "We have already contacted a few people, and they should be here soon.
"What do you say? Do you want to join us? With your power, it will become even easier for us to break the barrier."
Blaze also saw how Evan killed the Beginner Level Rank Two demon in just a single punch, and similar to others, she was also thinking that he was a mid-level rank two Evolver who was hiding his rank so that he could mess with low-level rankers.
She had been here for more than three hours and was already tired of waiting for other people. If Evan, who is a mid-level Rank Two Evolver in her eyes joins them, then they will just have to wait for two or three more people, and they will have enough power to destroy the barrier.
'I will be able to improve the rank of my core by a good margin using the Essence Spring so there is no reason for me to decline...' Evan thought inwardly and nodded his head.
"Sure, I also want to use the Essence Spring, so I will cooperate with you guys."
"Great," Hearing Evan, Blaze smiled brightly. "I am Blaze Infernoth, what's your name? Considering your power, you must be from a powerful faction and shouldn't be some unknown figure."
When Blaze asked about Evan, the ears of other people who were hearing them perked up as they also wanted to know about him.
There weren't many people who could kill Beginner Level Rank Two extreme demon in just a single attack, so all of them were curious about Evan and wanted to know more about him.
When Evan heard Blaze, he shook his head and said in a humble voice, "You overestimated me, miss. I am just a lone wanderer without a home who travels from one place to another. I don't belong to any faction."
"Lone wanderer..." Blaze was surprised when she heard Evan, but she didn't doubt him because if Evan belonged to a powerful faction, she would have already heard about him.
Other people were also surprised when they heard his answer because they thought Evan was from a powerful faction.
"So that's why I never heard anything about you. Since you are a wanderer, you must be travelling from one place to another," Blaze said and nodded her head. "By the way, you still haven't told me your name."
"My name..." Evan's mind raced at the speed of light when he heard Blaze and he started to think of a name for himself. Before coming here, he didn't expect someone would ask about his name so he didn't think about it beforehand.
Suddenly, a name came to his mind and he said with a smug look on his face.
"My name is Dead Man!"
Blaze: "..."
Voidscar: "..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOther people: "..."
'Is this guy messing with me?' Blaze's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and she wanted to beat down Evan who had a smug look on his lazy face. She took some deep breaths to calm down her nerves and spoke after a moment.
"So your name is Dead Man, huh. is there a reason why your name is so umm... unique?"
Hearing Blaze's question, Evan looked at her lazily and asked in a plain voice, "Is there a reason why your name is soooo normal?"
Blaze: "..."
She closed her mouth, deciding not to engage with Evan any longer.
"Other people should be here in half an hour at best. Once they come here, we will attack the barrier," She said to him and turned around to leave.She felt like if she talked to him any longer, she might just attack him. Seeing Blaze leave with an annoyed look on her face, Evan smirked inwardly and opened his mouth.
"Ha! I know you are jealous because you have such a simple name, but hey, there is no need to feel down or blame your parents as the majority of people in the world have normal names."
Blaze nearly fell to the ground when she heard Evan's lazy voice and barely held herself back from going back and burning him to ashes.
Evan watched Blaze leave and felt it was quite enjoyable to mess with people, especially if they didn't know about your true identity.
Once Blaze left, Evan waited with the other people and just as she had said earlier, about half an hour later, a few more rank two core evolvers arrived there. Once they arrived, Blaze gathered everyone as it was time to attack the barrier.
