Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 772 Bullbear (Part 1)

?"Guardian my ass, that guy was definitely a thug," Evan cursed as he walked with Cedar.

"You were the one who sucked all the essence stones and even the world essence that was flowing through the walls of the mine, so as the guardian of the essence mines, it is natural that he took compensation from you," Cedar said while trying his best to control his laughter.

"That was just a low-level mine, a damn low-level mine, but he took fifty thousand high-level essence stones from me," Evan said with a twitching mouth, feeling as if he was robbed.

Cedar just shook his head hearing Evan and tried to change the subject. "So, what are you planning to do now? Do you want to use the law formation?"

Evan took some deep breaths to calm down and answered Cedar's question. "I am planning to go out of the closed world to hunt some Beginner Level Rank Two monsters."

"Planning to go out?" Cedar frowned when he heard Evan, as he didn't expect him to be planning to leave the closed world. Although it has been more than a month since they stole the Enlightenment Stone, it was still not a good idea for them to leave the closed world for the time being.

'No one should know about my real appearance as I was wearing the mask even before leaving the Dark Forest, but Evan wore the mask before entering the Star City and the vampires we saw in the Star City definitely saw Evan's real appearance when we left the Dark Forest, so there is a small possibility that Lucian and others already knew about his real appearance...' Cedar thought inwardly and narrowed his eyes.

When Evan noticed a frown on Cedar's face, he understood what he was thinking, so he reassured him in a calm voice. "I will change my appearance, and I am not planning to leave the Dark Forest, so it should be fine."

Cedar thought for a moment when he heard Evan and eventually nodded his head. "Well, it should be fine as long as you don't leave the Dark Forest."

"Are you also coming with me?" Evan asked once Cedar agreed.

"Yes, I have used up my stock of Rank Two meat so I also need to hunt some monsters," Cedar replied.

Evan smiled when he Cedar and nodded his head. "That's good, since you are coming, I don't need to worry about finding Rank Two monsters as you must know about the areas where we can find them, right?"

"I do know about a few areas where we can find Rank Two Monsters but.... are you sure you want to fight against them?" Cedar asked in a serious voice. Although Evan killed Kael, who was at the peak of Rank Two in front of him, Cedar knew that it was not easy to use that kind of power.

"Don't worry, I should be fine as long as I don't mess with a mid-level Rank Two or a higher-level monster," Evan said when he heard Cedar.

While talking with Cedar, Evan used his shadow senses and sent an order to all of his shadow undeads who were in the training ground of his house.

When Evan's shadow undeads received his order, all of them stopped training and moved towards his shadow clone, whom he had left in the training ground along with his other shadow undeads.

Evan's clone used the shadow storage skill, and all the shadow undeads who were in the training ground went inside. As the shadow storage of the clone was connected with Evan's shadow storage, all of the shadow undeads instantly arrived in his shadow storage.

'This connection is quite useful...' Evan thought inwardly when all of his shadow undeads instantly arrived in his shadow storage.

Cedar and Evan flew away from the barren land where the essence stone mines were located and went towards the teleportation building they had used last time to leave the closed world.

It took them nearly five hours to reach the teleportation building. Once inside the building, Cedar selected the location, and both of them disappeared from the closed world.

In the inner area of the Dark Forest, at the top of a towering lush tree, a white light flashed, and Evan and Cedar appeared there. Both of them had already changed their appearance before leaving the closed world and were currently looking like normal humans.

"Hide your aura," Cedar immediately instructed Evan after appearing at the top of the tree.

Hearing Cedar, Evan immediately concealed his aura and scanned their surroundings with a vigilant expression.

"This is the inner area of the Dark Forest, mostly inhabited by Rank Two and Rank Three monsters. We're currently at the edge of the inner area where most of the Rank Two monsters reside," Cedar explained. "Although this area should be relatively safe, we still need to be cautious, as Rank Three monsters occasionally come here to hunt weaker prey."

Evan nodded in understanding hearing Cedar and refrained from using his spiritual senses to scout the surroundings.

'I need to create some small shadow undeads similar to insects as they would be perfect for scouting, but I've never encountered any monsters like them...' Evan said inwardly as he and Cedar descended from the top of the tree.

"I know a perfect place where we can find a Beginner Level Rank Two Monsters. Let's go," Cedar said after reaching the forest floor, and they ventured deeper into the woods.

Cedar was familiar with this area of the Dark Forest, as he often came here to hunt monsters, so they didn't encounter any creatures while moving. In just a few minutes, they delved deeper into the forest, and soon Cedar stopped in front of a cave.

"It seems that guy is still here," Cedar remarked, looking at the footprints just outside of the cave.

"What kind of monster lives here?" Evan asked in a curious voice seeing the footprints.

Cedar smiled upon hearing Evan and said in a light voice.

"It is the cave of the monster called, Bullbear."
