Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 190 A Different Orc (Part 1)

Evan moved deeper into the orc den. It is been one hour since he entered the orc den.

During this time he encountered many orcs.

Most of these orcs were just D and D+ rank. There were occasionally one or two C rank orcs, but he did not get any C rank core after killing them.

In this one hour, he collected a total of nine cores. Five of these cores were D+ rank while four were D rank.

Evan absorbed all the D+ rank cores, but he didn't absorb the D rank cores.

He absorbed one D rank core earlier, but he found his monarch core barely progressed after absorbing it.

For some reason, he felt his monarch core didn't absorb the energy of the D rank core, and that energy disappeared somewhere.

It was the same thing that happened when he tried to absorb F rank cores in the past to get skills.

At that time when he absorbed those F rank cores, he felt their energy also disappeared somewhere and his monarch core did not absorb it.

'Is this core getting picky because it doesn't want to absorb the energy from low rank cores' Evan thought while walking forward.

''Well, since I can't absorb them through monarch core, I will use them for my prime core'' Evan muttered and used an ice chain to climb up a small cliff that was fifteen meters high, and was blocking his path.

When he reached at the top of the cliff, and looked to the other side he saw some groups of orcs.

This area was wide open, and unlike before there were no cliffs in the surroundings.

There were around five groups of orcs, and each group had four or five orcs.

But unlike before this time there were at least two C rank orcs in each group.

When Evan focused, he even saw a team of hunters fighting around one kilometer away from him.

Even though he wasn't able to see how many hunters were there, and what was their rank, he was sure that this place was quite good for farming cores since there were many orcs.

'There shouldn't be any problem if I hunt here, they are still one kilometer away from here, and will take some time before they can come here' Evan thought and decided to kill orcs as fast as possible so that he won't have to worry about those hunters.

In each team of hunters, there is always a person whose job is to collect the cores of the monsters that his team killed.

In a place where your core can be taken away by other teams, if you don't collect them quickly it was necessary to have someone who collects the cores.

Because every team has one such member, they don't have to worry about collecting their cores, and waste time on it.

On the other hand, since Evan was alone, he has to kill the orcs and collect their cores on his own.

If he doesn't collect the cores soon after killing the orcs, and other hunters arrived there, they might try to steal his cores.

Currently, he doesn't want any conflict and just wanted to collect the cores, which is why he decided to quickly take care of these orcs and leave from here.

Evan came down from the cliff and proceed towards one of the orc groups.

There were four orcs in the group, two were C rank while the other two were D+ rank.

Evan went toward them from behind so that they won't see him approaching.

With the concealment effect of his ring, those four orcs were not able to sense him approaching.

When Evan was just five meters away from them, he used mana reinforcement.

He pressed his feet on the ground, and using its force shot toward the orc group like a bullet.

Even before the first orc can turn around to see what was happening, Evan arrived behind it, and slashed at it with wind fury.

While slashing the sword, Evan stopped using mana reinforcement and used wind manipulation skill.

The surrounding wind started to gather around the wind fury blade, and its sharp blade shone with green light.

Swish -!

The sharp blade of the wind fury cut through the hard skin of the C rank orc like tofu, sending its head flying in the air.

Just as the head of the orc was sent flying, Evan once again horizontally slashed at the second C rank orc which was four meters away from him.

Just as Evan slashed, all the wind that he gathered around the wind fury blade was released, and a sharp wind blade shot toward the orc at lightning speed.

The power of the wind blade was increased by 200% because of the effect of the wind fury sword.

The orc wanted to move away, but Evan was very close to it when he attacked.

Evan watched as the wind blade came into contact with the orc, and continue to move forward while the orc stood in the same place, looking at Evan with shocked filled eyes.

Suddenly a fountain of blood erupted from the area around its waist, and its upper body was separated from its lower body.

After killing both of the C rank orcs in an instant Evan looked at the two D rank orcs who were frozen solid, after seeing what happened.

Evan moved towards one of the D rank orc who was close to him. Seeing Evan coming towards it, the orc came back to its senses and punched at him, while the second one started to run away.

Evan used an ice chain on the second orc who was running, while dodging the punch of the D+ rank orc.

The running orc was stopped by the ice chain, and Ethan killed the other orc with his sword.

After killing the orc Evan moved towards the second orc who was stopped by the ice chain, and easily killed it as well.

"The concealment ring is really effective for a surprise attack" Evan muttered and was about to look for the cores when something happened.

Booooommm-!

Suddenly Evan heard a loud booming sound from behind him, and quickly turn around.

Just as he turned around, he did not even get a chance to understand what was happening, before he saw a wooden club coming crashing down on him.

At the last moment he lifted his sword to block the attack. The wooden club clashed against the sword and Evan was sent flying backwards.
