Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 297 End Of The Monster Tide (Part 1)

Evan sat down while leaning against a tree.

He just came back to the B rank zone and wanted nothing more than to take a good nap after using his shadow energy.

While coming back along with Elysia, he also brought Nekros back.

Now that the situation on the front line is pretty much under control, it won't take long before the hunters from there will come here to kill all the monsters.

If Nekros and Elysia stayed out at that time, they will die without any doubt.

'I am almost out of shadow energy, it will take around twenty hours before it will fully recover" Evan muttered seeing his monarch core was almost empty.

"Eclipse" Evan summoned Eclipse and ordered it to guard him.

He was completely exhausted and just wanted to take a short nap.

Eclipse used its stealth skill to hide its presence and started to patrol around the area Evan was sleeping.

Buzz-!

Evan just started to fall asleep when he felt slight vibration coming from the bracelet that he just wore after coming back.

He opened his eyes and glanced at the screen of his bracelet only to see it was Mark who was contacting him.

'Damn, I completely forget about them' Evan sighed inwardly and accepted the call.

"Oy, are you alive?" just as he accepted the call he heard Mark's voice.

Evan almost cursed out loud hearing such a stupid question, and held himself back not ordering Nekros to smash Mark's head with its tree club.

"Nope, I am dead," Evan said to him in a sarcastic voice.

"Oh, sorry for the inconvenience please rest in peace" Mark replied to him and ended the call.

Evan looked at his bracelet with a dazed look not knowing what to say.

Buzz-!

Suddenly his bracelet vibrated once again and he saw it was Sophie who called him this time.

"Where are you?" Sophie asked him just as he accepted the call.

"I am resting not far away from the rest area of the hunters" Evan replied in a sleepy voice "Is there a problem?"

"No everything is fine," Sophie said while sighing in relief, "we are trying to contact you for half an hour, but for some reason, we were not able to connect with your bracelet. So we were just worried that something happened to you"

Evan was not surprised when he heard they were not able to contact him, after all, he put away his bracelet in shadow storage before he left for the front line.

"I am completely fine. I was just sleeping here" Evan said in a confused voice, "maybe my bracelet was damaged while I was fighting against the monsters earlier, which is why you were not able to contact me"

"I guess," Sophie said and didn't ask anything else. She also believed that there might be a problem with his bracelet.

"We are going to kill more monsters, do you want to come or are you still tired?" Sophie asked him after a moment.

Evan fell into deep thought after hearing her.

He knew even if he doesn't go Sophie and the others will not suspect anything, after all, he is just a D+ rank hunter in their eye, and it is natural for him to take a long time before he fully recover.

But it is also his last opportunity to collect more merits points and cores.

He already has many cores for his future advancement, but he still wanted to collect more merit points.

Earlier Sophie told him that he can even exchange merit points for skill books.

He wanted to collect as many merit points as possible so that if he see any useful skill, he will be able to buy it.

"I am coming," Evan said and stood up while shaking his head.

He was still exhausted, but he knew the fight won't last long.

"The hunters from the front line will soon come to A rank zone, and after killing all the monsters there, they will come here to wipe out the remaining monsters" Evan muttered while summoning back Eclipse.

"I should try to earn as many merits points as possible before they come here," Evan said as he moved toward the B rank formation wall where Sophie and others were waiting for him.

But when he reached there, and Sophie and others saw him, all of them made a strange face.

"Um, why do I feel like you are looking even more exhausted than before?" David asked when he stopped before them.

"Is this even a question?" before Evan can say anything, Mark opened his mouth and looked at Evan with narrowed eyes.

Seeing how Mark was looking at him Evan felt a little uncomfortable.

"Just look at his pale face, and the way he is walking," he said while pointing at him, "it is obvious instead of resting this guy was messing with a woman"

Hearing Mark, Evan was completely speechless, he looked at Sophie and the others and saw they were looking at him with their eyes wide open.

"I did not know you were a wild man, doing such a thing in the wilderness," Caleb said and shook his head.

Other people also nodded their heads seemingly agreeing with Caleb.

Hearing their nonsense black lines appeared on Evan's forehead and he started to walk towards the battlefield ignoring them.

He felt like if he talks with them, his headache will increase once again.

Seeing Evan walking away David and others laughed and followed after him.

After coming to the battlefield Evan once again summoned Aqua, and worked with Mark and others to kill monsters.

They continue to kill monsters for the next one and a half hours, just as Evan was reaching his limits he finally felt some powerful auras of A and A+ rank hunters coming towards them.

'So they are finally done with the A rank zone huh' Evan thought as many A and A+ rank hunters entered the B rank zone.
